end to end functionality
Whatt.io is a cradle to grave life cycle product information platform, connecting 3D-printing teams, sales & marketing, and end users.
Brand owner
A Team consists of account profiles (individuals) that work together in
a Team. They share material, products and parts. A team would host a manufacturing
facility producing parts.
A client is the brand owner and has the rights to the
products and parts. A product always belong to a client (brand owner).
Team Cloud admin
Whatt.io is the connection between users, brands and manufacturers. The platform allows you to gather and store lifecycle information and make it available when needed. With 3D printing we can build a process of manufacturing that allows every single item to be unique. That means not only from mass customisation point of view, but also unique in that it will get a NFC (Near Field Communication) tag embedded inside the main part of the product.
The whatt.io framework eliminates the need for an app for the end user.
Our system uses the internal standard “tap” to open a URL that is unique to each product manufactured with whatt.io. Nothing needs to be installed on the Android or iOS phone to read the data by tapping on the part. NFC needs to be enabled in the settings for the Andriod phone, Apple iOS is always on.

easy
Why exist on the whatt.io platform? Why will consumers benefit by accessing info from a smart product?
A consumer has multiple incentives to connect to specific product info, including:
- To access information about the specific product or product component at hand.
- To learn about features, operation, and product life-cycle.
- To access live information feeds, understand its recycling process and order spare-parts.
How do you access info about a product?
A tiny NFC-chip is built into a whatt.io-enabled product. Its position
is indicated by a small NFC icon on the product shell.
NFC stands for "Near Field Communication." It's a
standard that allows two devices or accessories to communicate via radio frequencies
when in close proximity.
Powered by the whatt.io-platform, the NFC chip can
carry its own information and display crucial data to guide the consumer. The data is
retrieved from whatt.io, -a cloud-based database offering a host of services and tools
for the cloud-based distribution of data sets.
Use your own Android or iPhone smartphone to access the information
carried by the NFC-chip.
Android and iPhone smartphones have the functionality to read NFC chips
built into them. The reader lets you get instant information about a particular product–
by simply introducing your smartphone to the product.
Where is the NFC reader
located inside your smartphone? iPhones have their reader positioned at the top of the
phone. Hold your iPhone to the product, and you will trigger the reader momentarily.
The
position of the reader in Androids depends on the model used. Slowly slide your
smartphone across the product surface, and you will quickly get a
"hit."
Read more on the position of NFC-readers inside Android
smartphones here.
No app needed, just tap the product with your smartphone
whatt.io does not rely on an application to connect to the NFC chip.
The functionality for connecting to a chip is built into both Androids and iPhones. All
you need to access information about the product is to tap it with your
smartphone.
The Fabricator app
whatt.io develops a
Fabricator app for smartphones, used for programming NFC chips, linking them to data
sets hosted in a cloud database. The Fabricator app is not a requirement for reading
information off the chip.
Your smartphone instantly displays information related to the specific
product at hand. Each product component can carry its own data, to be readily accessed
from any smartphone.
Information served from the whatt.io platform is always on and always up to date - no more redundant product sheets and no more searching for information about the operation, recycling, or spare parts. It's all there in your smartphone, triggered by the NCF chip inside the product.
Every whatt.io enabled product carries multiple layers of information.
The data is instantly accessed and continously updated.
Product- and brand owners can maintain a completely dynamic information platform, instantly accessed from 1.6Bn smartphones worldwide.
- Product information, including model and version, operation and handling
- Instant add-ons and spare-parts ordering
- Product materials and recycling information
- Dynamic messaging, including marketing offers and product updates
