FileMaker Pro 15 - New Calculation Function - RangeBeacons

iBeacon is an Apple technology that allows Mobile Apps to listen for signals from physical beacons and react accordingly.  Beacons are small devices that uses Bluetooth Low Energy and have a maximum range of 100 meters. 

With an iBeacon network, any brand, retailer, app or platform will be able to understand exactly where a customer is located in an environment and provide an opportunity to send that customer highly contextual, hyper-local, meaningful messages and advertisements on their smartphones.

iBeacons – Improve the Ranging Experience | FileMaker

 

FileMaker gave us the ability to integrate iBeacon technology with the release of FileMaker 15 last month.

This is a great way to enhance existing apps with microlocation features as well as build entirely new apps to solve problems we couldn’t solve before.

Some potential app ideas that have been floating around in my head include:

Time & Attendance Tracking: Combine iBeacons and TouchID to provide an entirely new, simple and streamlined “clocking into work” experience.
Parks & Recreation: A resource scheduling solution that eliminates printing and posting event reservations each week for locations all over town.
Professional Golf Tournaments: Stick an iBeacon in each player’s bag and provide an app for fans to find out who’s nearby, no matter where they are on the grounds.
