DogWatch needed to develop an intelligent dog collar with both hidden fence and activity measuring capabilities to keep them at the leading edge of the pet market segment. They needed a system involving active collars and fence transmitters that communicate with a local Portal via radio.
DogWatch has been making Hidden Dog Fence Systems since 1990 and is a pioneer in pet wearables.
Spiria engineered a data collection software, a customer portal, a DPS (Dynamic Positioning System and a complete cloud-based system that transmits and translates data to users. The portal communicates directly with a cloud service that converts raw data to JSON messages. It passes these messages along to a Web server, which serves both the Web site and the app.
The new offering adds Fitbit-like capabilities to the collar for dog owners to monitor their pets via Web browser or mobile phone. The solution delivers in real-time the collar’s data into user-friendly information for pet owners. Dog owners can see how active their dog has been and feel confident that their dog is safely within the boundaries of their property.
