IoT Solutions and the Future of Connected Apps

The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer just about smart home devices or wearables. In 2025, IoT is shaping entire industries — from electric vehicle charging to aviation and industrial automation. For startups and businesses, building connected apps that integrate with hardware is one of the fastest ways to create value and customer loyalty.

At Pica Trebax, we’ve seen firsthand how IoT transforms products into ecosystems. Let’s explore the key IoT trends, why they matter, and how startups can use them to scale faster.

Why IoT Matters for Startups and Businesses

IoT is about bridging the gap between the physical and digital world. Apps no longer just display information — they control, monitor, and automate devices in real time.

Benefits of IoT-driven apps:

• Deeper customer engagement through connected experiences.

• New revenue streams from subscription-based device services.

• Smarter data collection that improves product development.

• Cost savings through automation and predictive maintenance.

• Competitive edge by turning hardware into digital ecosystems.

Key IoT Trends in 2025

1. Smart Homes and Lifestyle Apps Consumers expect their homes, appliances, and wearables to connect seamlessly. Apps that centralize control and add convenience will continue to dominate.

2. Industrial IoT (IIoT) Factories, aviation, and logistics rely on IoT dashboards to track performance, detect anomalies, and automate reporting.

3. Electric Vehicle Ecosystems EV adoption is booming, and charging stations are powered by IoT-enabled apps that manage energy, payments, and availability in real time.

4. Healthcare and Wellness Devices From remote patient monitoring to fitness trackers, IoT in healthcare ensures personalized care and faster response times.

5. IoT Security The more devices are connected, the higher the risk of breaches. In 2025, secure-by-design IoT apps are a must.

How We Build IoT Apps at Pica Trebax

Building IoT apps requires more than standard app development. At Pica Trebax, we combine hardware engineering, mobile development, and cloud infrastructure to deliver solutions that connect smoothly and scale globally.

• IoT Solutions: mobile-to-device control, dashboards, and data flows.

• Hardware Engineering: custom boards, sensors, and firmware.

• Mobile App Development: Flutter-powered apps for iOS and Android.

• Cloud and DevOps: real-time data pipelines and secure device management.

• UX/UI Design: interfaces that make complex systems easy to use.

  
  

This end-to-end approach ensures startups don’t just launch a device — they launch a connected product ecosystem.

Use Case: Smart EV Charging

One of our standout IoT projects is a Smart EV Charging Station. With electric vehicles growing fast, we wanted to create a solution that is both reliable and user-friendly.

We designed a home three-phase charging station featuring:

• Type 2 socket with ESP32-based technology.

• A custom board including a three-phase meter and socket lock.

• Mobile integration for monitoring and control.

• Thorough testing to ensure safety and efficiency.

The result is a smart, connected charging experience that goes beyond hardware. The app allows users to control charging, monitor performance, and ensure safety from their smartphone — a perfect example of how IoT transforms physical devices into scalable digital products.

Conclusion: The Connected Future

In 2025, IoT is no longer optional for industries like energy, wellness, logistics, and retail. Startups that integrate IoT into their products don’t just sell devices — they create digital ecosystems that drive engagement and revenue.

At Pica Trebax, we specialize in bringing hardware and software together. Whether you’re building a consumer app or an industrial tool, our team ensures your IoT solution is fast, secure, and future-ready.
