Intelligent Vessel Monitoring | MVP Design
Results
Designed and built a connected vessel monitoring app integrating real-time data from onboard sensors.
Enabled users to track vessel health, security, and environment data through a mobile-first experience.
Delivered secure, low-latency communication using AWS Kinesis and MQTT for data streaming.
Provided seamless onboarding for both individual owners and fleet operators.
Highlights / Intro
Tocaro Blue set out to redefine maritime safety and convenience through LirPro, an intelligent boat monitoring system.
The goal: to help owners and operators stay connected to their vessels—anytime, anywhere.
unosquare partnered from concept to launch, designing and developing a consumer-ready mobile app that integrates IoT sensors, real-time data visualization, and smart alerts.
The result: a scalable, intuitive system that transforms boats into connected assets.
Challenge
Modern boat monitoring required more than just sensor data. Tocaro Blue needed to:
Build a reliable, low-latency communication layer between devices and the cloud.
Create a user-friendly interface capable of handling complex data in simple terms.
Ensure scalability and performance for both personal and commercial use cases.
Solution
unosquare’s embedded team collaborated closely with Tocaro Blue’s engineering group to design, develop, and deploy the full product experience.
From UX research and architecture design to data synchronization, the app was built to perform under real-world maritime conditions.
Scope:
- Strategy & Design
- Front-End & Back-End Development
