Building Industrial-Grade RFID Systems with Android and Kotlin Multiplatform

Many Android developers focus on consumer-facing applications, but Android’s true potential lies in industrial use cases. In this session, we present a hands-on approach to building a robust industrial IoT system by connecting an RFID reader to an Android device. Traditionally, industrial deployments required specialized Android hardware, but by combining the Web Serial API with Kotlin Multiplatform, you can transform a standard Android device into an industrial-grade RFID management system. In this session, we will explain the following topics with concrete implementation examples: • How to implement RFID communication on Android devices using the Web Serial API • Designing a cross-platform RFID library with Kotlin Multiplatform • Synchronization patterns that preserve data consistency even under intermittent connectivity • A security architecture for industrial Android applications and the implementation of Zero Trust • Performance-tuning techniques for processing sensor data streams in real time • Building an industrial monitoring dashboard with Jetpack Compose This is not theory; the techniques have been validated in real manufacturing environments. After the session, you will have a practical approach for solving industrial challenges with Android. With this approach, developers can discover new possibilities beyond consumer applications and dramatically expand Android’s field of application.
