Request

The client, GPS fleet tracking company and logistics software provider, reached out to us with the task to develop an IoT-based vehicle tracking system based on existing proof-of-concept. It would use connected devices to provide the real-time operational updating of vehicle data — such as location, speed, fuel consumption, driving time, and video from cameras — through the CAN bus.The harvested data would be stored in a database and available for processing. 

Solution

First of all, we improved the integration capabilities of the client’s GPS fleet management solution using a Node.js-based IoT signal parser. This allowed us to dramatically increase the number of connected devices. Second, we optimized the backend code, which gave us a stable core for further development and feature implementation. Together, these two steps enabled us to implement the following IoT fleet tracking and management features: constant data transmission, reporting, data visualization, remote command processing. 

Results

• AWS-based architecture with powerful data storage and processing capabilities
• Seamless integration with approximately 1000 IoT devices, including GPS trackers from different manufacturers
• New features, such as video streaming from cameras or remote command processing
• An increase in the number of trucks displayed on a map from 100 to 1000 objects
• Smooth truck movements visualization in real-time — before we stepped in, the location of trucks on the map of the client’s GPS tracking app was updated only every 5-10 seconds
• The considerable increase in speed of automated composing of the truck movements report: from 4 days for 4 trucks to 15-40 seconds for 1000 trucks

We would like to describe two cases in the Healthcare domain, one of which will be our product - Software Package for Dental Diagnostic Clinics, and another is a Single Remote Calibration and Quality Control Ecosystem for Medical Assets

1. Software Package for Dental Diagnostic Clinics

The Problem

The client needed

• to organize all the paperwork, to make it more accessible; 
• a unified system that would keep a record of patients;
• a software with data storage of doctor's conclusions on each tooth;
• a platform that is simple and quick to learn for new users;
• to have a tool for a treatment plan and process control;
• to protocol stages of work with a client.

The Solution

After competitor and domain analysis, the client received

• an ability to add a clinic;
• create and keep medical cards of patients;
• saved updates in a medical card;
• stored and easily accessed data;
• patient's teeth treatment control;
• dental cards showing problematic areas with jaw projects;
• default schemes of teeth;
• schematic view of pantomograms,
• all gathered in a gallery mode.

The Results 

The clients benefit from using a software package, namely 

• receive a quick, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn application for everyday challenges;
• enhance staff management and communication;
• increase the client’s loyalty due to a modernized approach;
• save up time on mundane tasks;
• reduce up to 80% expenses on staff engaged in running clinic records;
• invest saved money in better equipment and professional training for employees.

2. Single Remote Calibration and Quality Control Ecosystem for Medical Assets

Our client, a big medical vendor from the USA, wanted to organize, control and automate team workflow, medical equipment maintenance and give a hand to other companies who suffer from slow processes. The customer needed a so-called CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) that would unite vendors and technicians, be a convenient platform for collaboration and speeding up quality checking operations. However, we dared to take one step ahead.

The Problem

As a medical vendor the client had to allocate a bunch of human force and administrative expenses for the following routine tasks:

• audit of all incoming assets,
• their certification and marking,
• quantity and quality control.

Moreover, the client experienced major challenges in

• vendor-client communication;
• big expenses on workforce;
• ineffective and invisible data storage and access issues;
• track status failures.

The Solution was a high load platform that resolved the issues with

• asset compliance;
• asset maintenance;
• calibration software;
• cloud-based data storage;
• metrology search engine.

The Benefits the client received

•  easy-to-use dashboard with administrative panels and different features;
• remote calibration of various devices, mainly medical ones;
• improved client-to-client and client-vendor communication and documentation exchange;
• increase in work effectiveness due to optimization of calibration processes;
• 65% enhance in sales;
• convenient networking, etc.
