Challenge

Improve the overall performance and user experience of the bus fleet management software

Objectives

Implement tracking of bus movement and resource allocation

Update the dashboard to achieve data accuracy

Make the user interface more intuitive

Solution & functionality

The team developed an advanced interactive dashboard system for the bus fleet GPS tracking with a user-friendly interface and focus on precise real-time data tracking.

Interactive dashboard with GPS tracking and alerts

Our team created a dynamic dashboard using data from IoT sensors, integrated with an Azure SQL database. Due to their ability to process and manage large datasets, the dashboard allows real-time tracking of buses and sending timely updates on bus positions, arrival times, any delays or schedule deviations, as well as passenger numbers.

Enhanced data accuracy

The system is designed to handle and analyze complex datasets, making predictions and assessments. The predictive algorithms evaluate past and current traffic data to recommend optimal routes and assess trends in passenger numbers. Through analysis of traffic patterns, weather conditions, and previous delays, the system foresees potential disruptions for planning. Altogether, these features help refine the transport schedules and bus frequencies, helping to reduce expenses and nurturing clients’ loyalty.

Viewer and administrator roles

The dashboard holds distinct user roles to accommodate diverse levels of engagement and operational requirements.

Viewer role

With the viewer role, users can access an interactive map with current bus positions, route status, and estimated arrival times in real-time, and a flexible analytics dashboard giving predictions about possible disruptions, allowing for route and scheduling adjustments and sharing reports.

Administrator role

Users with the administrator role have full control and supervision over the dashboard’s configurations and processes with data. They can customize the dashboard’s interface and features to evolving requirements and manage user access levels.

Results and business value

The new interactive dashboard for the bus fleet management software contributed to a more efficient, timely, and reliable transport service.

    Challenge

    Create an IoT monitoring platform that would manage all processes at the enterprise by gathering, analyzing, storing, and processing data.

    Related objectives

    Build a smart factory application
    Implement ML algorithms
    Increase the client’s production efficiency

    Solution & functionality

    The team built an IoT monitoring platform with several operational modules that help oversee processes and operations within the client’s enterprise.

    Predictive maintenance module

    Every piece of equipment is equipped with various sensors. They continuously monitor and transmit real-time data regarding the machinery’s temperature and vibration levels. The application sends notifications to operators on any unusual temperature rise, preventing automatic shutdowns. Afterwards, algorithms scrutinize the maintenance history and suggest an out-of-schedule maintenance check.

    Environmental control module

    Sensors identify diverse factors that influence the well-being and security of the factory workforce. Among them are humidity, temperature, and noise intensity. Additionally, the application supervises air quality and emission levels in industrial spaces. If these standards go over the limit, the system alerts operators and provides algorithms to address the issue.

    Manufacturing effectiveness module

    The platform gathers data from sensors for every production division and machine and analyzes their OEE (overall equipment effectiveness). Users can see what critical factors influence OEE levels, detect potential issues, and resolve them. What is crucial is that the application collects performance metrics over a specified timeframe and helps operators see how key indicators progress.

    Quality assurance module

    With the IIoT platform, users can monitor the quantity and quality of components produced during one shift or any specified period. Also, they can have access to comprehensive details about each item, like production line, the count of rejected pieces, statistics, and more. Leveraging this information, system operators can spot production trends and the reasons behind elevated scrap rates and implement suitable measures to enhance the quality performance metrics.

    Results and business value

    Timspark has leveraged IoT for manufacturing and delivered a web application that monitors all the production processes, thus enhancing efficiency and mitigating risks. Also, our team provided maintenance and support services for the IIot platform they built. The client is eager to introduce new features and scale IoT for enterprise by applying it to other facilities.

      Evaluate the current data flow design

      Overhaul the data flow completely

      Automate routine tasks

      Design a secure, high-functionality solution

      Solution & functionality

      We crafted an architecture and data flow for the healthcare provider data management, empowering the client’s staff to gather, analyze, and use patient data for tasks like assessing treatment outcomes and sharing essential information with insurance companies.

      AWS

      Our healthcare data management software relies on Amazon Web Services as it’s secure, flexible, scalable, and cost-effective.

      Client staff input patient data in various formats, like images, videos, and text, which are sent to AWS and stored in a data lake. This data encompasses medical test results, appointment timestamps, and multimedia files from MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and more.

      Extract, transform, load (ETL) pipelines

      We’ve devised and enacted ETL pipelines to automatically consolidate data fragments from client employees into cloud storage.

      Data warehouse & data lake

      All data gathered through ETL pipelines is funneled via Apache Airflow into the data lake for refinement. After refinement, it’s forwarded to the data warehouse, serving various functions, including patient treatment consultation, efficacy evaluation, in-depth data analysis, and furnishing necessary information to insurance institutions.

      Access control

      The healthcare data management software safeguards sensitive data with a smart access control system. This system checks employee statuses from the client’s database, granting access to patient data solely to the specialists working with the patient. Exceptions are made for substitutes during healthcare worker absences.

      When data sharing is necessary, like for medical consultations or insurance requests, employees can request permission, and the healthcare data management software automatically facilitates secure data sharing, preventing accidental or intentional inclusion of extra information.

      Results and business value

      We’ve built a healthcare data management software that empowers workers to efficiently collect, store, and manage patient data, ensuring robust security measures to prevent leaks. Our software engineers have automated mundane processes and optimized healthcare provider data management for maximum efficiency.

      MVP launched in 4 months

      This application keeps over 1.5M active and 8M passive users secure on a daily basis.

      40% of dull tasks automated

      The client highly praised our development team of Android, iOS, and QA engineers for their technical expertise and communication.

      The healthcare data management software allows workers to concentrate on essential tasks instead of dealing with error-prone data flow management. Healthcare provider data management is aligned with government regulations and designed with the latest business intelligence expertise.
