The IoT Platform

Transforming Simple Metal into Smart Solutions

Turn ordinary bike racks into intelligent urban infrastructure with Bikeep’s cutting-edge IoT platform.

Bikeep’s platform is designed for seamless integration, allowing you to easily incorporate our smart solutions into your existing urban infrastructure.

End-To-End Connected System

From backend Console to physical IoT integration, everything is covered by Bikeep IoT Platform.

Simply put, the IoT Core is our smart platform that powers each of our Smart Bike Parking Stations and it can Power Yours too!

The Smart Unit

A secondary control unit that interacts with the Main Controller to manage operations of individual docks, lockers, etc… via industrial communication protocol.

  • GPIO’s (Add alarms, end-switches, devices)

  • Lock Controller – Designated (Dual switch detection capability)

  • Piezo controller (Audio indication for end-users)

  • OTA Updating (Everything can be updated over-the-air)

  • Bullet-Proof Wired Connection (CAN-communication between the Smart Units)

The RFID/NFC Reader

A component that reads RFID/NFC cards for user authentication and access control, also giving visual and audio feedback to end-users.

  • Compatible with Variety of Mifare Card Protocols (Ultralight, Classic, Plus X*)
  • Apple/Google Wallet readiness

  • Audio Visual Status Indication

  • Local Allowlisting

Southco Smart Lock

A secure, electronically-controlled locking mechanism managed by the Smart Unit for locking and lock detection.

Can use other lock types, depending on the use case of course.

The Main Controller

Bikeep’s Main Controller brings industrial 4G connectivity to power our Smart Units. It acts as the gateway between our hardware and our software backend, to keep the steady line of communication and security protocols

  • Industrial Internet connection (4G/3G internet connection).

  • Optional Backup internet source that is a reliable internet connection with high data throughput and data redundancy.

  • Loudspeaker alarm (Scare away the malice)

  • Remote power cycle trigger (Operators network is down, let’s switch to a different one)

  • Remote unlock trigger (Unlock stuck end-user)
  • Remote SIM monitoring (See how stable is the operators network)

Everything Connected Together

  1. Everything connects to the Main Controller, as it communicated between the backend and hardware
  2. Up to 40 Smart Units can be connected to the Main Controller at once
  3. RFID reader and Lock connects to the Smart Units, as it forwards the commands and feedbacks
  4. Additional Core Add-On can be added, such as Cameras, PSU’s, UPS’s, etc.

IoT Core and Stations API

What is the Bikeep API?

The Bikeep API allows you to interact with Bikeep’s smart bike parking stations. It lets you find and manage bike parking locations, control parking devices, and monitor parking sessions. This API is part of Bikeep’s IoT core, making our bike parking systems smarter and easier to use.

Why Use the Bikeep API?

The Bikeep API is designed to help city officials, businesses, and developers integrate smart bike parking into their existing systems. It provides a seamless way to manage bike parking, ensuring a convenient and secure experience for cyclists.

Access Control Platform

With remote locking and unlocking through the Bikeep Console, you can control your bike parking station right from your smartphone. It’s easy, convenient, and gives you peace of mind.

Our system offers flexible access management with allowlist features for RFID/NFC cards and app users, all easily managed via console.bikeep.com or through our API. You can even add your own lock if you prefer, offering you even more option

Operators’ Platform

Bikeep Console – a centralized hub designed to streamline the management of all bike parking stations. This Smart-City IoT platform offers remote access management, allowing operators to control and troubleshoot stations from anywhere. With the Bikeep Console, you can stay ahead of maintenance, track usage, and receive real-time alerts, all through a user-friendly interface.

Key User Roles:

  • Whitelist Manager: Manages whitelists efficiently.
  • Maintenance: Configures devices (without accessing any personal data)
  • Technician: Manages devices in assigned stations (without accessing any personal data)
  • Location Manager: Views location statistics (without accessing any personal data)
  • Payment Manager: Handles payments and refunds.
  • Subscription Manager: Manages monthly subscriptions.
  • 1st Level Support: Provides direct support for end-users.

Use your existing e-lock

While Bikeep IoT is optimized for use with Bikeep’s own smart e-locking mechanism, it also offers flexibility for integrating third-party locks and control mechanisms. Partners looking to add their own locking logic to the Bikeep Smart IoT Platform can do so with ease, expanding the system’s versatility.

Bikeep’s default lock provider is Southco, low power, industrial-grade locks and also suitable for outdoor use.
