## From consumers to businesses!

Crownstone has changed course. Our services will focus on **OEMs** and **business-to-business**. This brings consequences to our consumer products which are no longer for sale. However, consumers won't be left out in the cold. Below you can find more information regarding the future of our consumers, business partners, and research projects.

**Local Cloud**
### Indoor positioning

One of our latest interesting developments has been the support for a **private cloud** option. Using the [cloud installer](https://github.com/Crownstone-Community/cloud-installer) we have implemented a solution at [Green Energy Park](https://www.greenenergypark.be/) which sends energy and power data toward a **Priva installation** from a local hub. Installation of such hubs is now a breeze!
Crownstones pinpoint the location of individuals using Bluetooth tags or smart devices by measuring Bluetooth Low Energy signals. This enables to react to presence and proximity. Applications of indoor positioning include healthcare for patient tracking and smart buildings for improved security and automation.

**Bluetooth asset tracking**
### Asset tracking

Crownstone developed a **Bluetooth-based asset tracking system** together with our partner [Blyott](https://blyott.com/). This system saves money for the healthcare industry by reducing purchases and search time. One major advantage for our customers is that because we use **Bluetooth mesh**, we do not depend on security-critical Wi-Fi infrastructure. The Bluetooth mesh is entirely self-sufficient.

{% include snippets/two-cols-text-img-end img='/images/update/blyott.jpg' img-alt='blyott' %}
Crownstones scan for Bluetooth LE devices within a building. Attach off-the-shelf Bluetooth tags to assets, and Crownstones use Bluetooth mesh to communicate tag locations to a gateway. BLE asset tracking offers cost efficiency, enhanced security, scalability, and future-proofing.

### Energy monitoring

{% include snippets/full-width-container-begin background='blue'%}
Crownstones extend their functionality to include energy monitoring on device level. Operating within a Bluetooth mesh network, they broadcast energy-related metrics such as current, voltage, power, and power factor to a central hub, facilitating data collection for further analysis.

[DAIS](https://dais-project.eu/) (Distributed Artificial Intelligent System) is a pan-European project bringing faster, more secure, and energy-efficient data processing solutions through the development of **edge AI** software and hardware components. The ability of Crownstones to run **microapps** with custom code allows for implementations of in-network localization and application identification in a distributed manner.

Crownstone and [Gociety](https://www.golivehealth.nl/) are collaborating! Crownstone is responsible for the development of a new compound sensor system for the detection of unusual behavior in households of people with dementia. **Microapps** that propagate data from wireless senior wristbands to a phone (and alarm center) have been developed, and state-of-the-art research is being done on **device-free detection**.
