Actia

By Caroline Kaercher / February 22, 2019 / Comments Off

The ACTIA Groupe specializes in the design, manufacture and operation of electronics for systems management in the automotive, aeronautics, railway, telecommunication networks or energy sectors.

Its Automotive division is specialized in automotive diagnostics. The division imagines and builds embedded calculators for diagnostics or telematics (external communication). Those systems are used in garage or car dealership or directly onboard afterwards.

Besoin

In order to stay competitive towards their final customers, ACTIA was looking to study the feasibility to bring the source code of a diagnostic applications coded in C++ to work under Android and Linux.

Those systems are more likely to be used in garages and car dealerships. Moreover, it was a challenge as the solution has to run still under C++.

Solution

After consultation, ACTIA choosed to call on the DocDoku team due to the quality of its technical and work expertise.

Mathias Choquet, R&D engineer, explains : “the DocDoku expert’s profile was answering to our need because he had all the skills we were searching” and insists that the profile has “a high quality rarely seen”.

In concrete terms, DocDoku missions were the following :

Consulting on the set up of the compilation / packaging chain
C++ POC porting to Android
Gradual reworking strategy to make to best use of the Android platform

Flexibilty and agility were two decisive components in the success of the mission. Mathias Choquet insists on the fact that “the DocDoku consultant knew how to adapt himself to the project pace and thought with the flow” with the project teams.

Finally, the contribution of DocDoku allowed ACTIA to identify and avoid any risks related to the migration setup and given maturity to the project. While bringing to light in a pragmatic way the complexity of the process.
A “well” executed mission that gave ACTIA to possibility to test different approaches, eliminate the impasse with the flow and move forward technically in its reflexion.

To this day, the subject is still open at ACTIA, waiting for an operational project to put into practice the strategies and recommandations identified during the mission.

The company is also taking care of air transportation logistics, offering cleaning and preparing services for plane cabins (water, pharmacy, newspapers…), on-board press management and many more.

Need

In order to optimize their In-Flight management and control, Servair wanted to start a paper-free approach, based on touch screen tablet and web browser.
The goal was to improve quality control using digitalized procedures. As requested by Servair, we brought our expertise to carry out the solution.

Solution

A multi-platform application needs an hybrid development so we advised to built it using web technologies (HTML5 / CSS3 / Javascript) and integrate this « web app » to a native application thanks to WebWiew component.
The final result is a classic application that distributes, sets up and runs like any other application, while running on a browser.
To make the most of this application implementation in this approach, we have based its development on the Open Source PhoneGap framework.

Communication between tablet application and back office was implemented using Web Services REST (JSON) on the HTTP transport protocol.

Need

Display the DMU (Digital Mock-Up) on a regular web browser without any plugin and allow data combining from various sources to be displayed on 3D models as on Google Maps.

Provide an easy access to PLM and DMU for population other than engineering designer (managers, sales…).

Solution

We worked closely with Airbus, leveraging our DocDokuPLM platform to deliver the perfect solution. The solution has to fit the complex aircraft manufacturer environment, made of various existing PLM systems and CAD tools based on Catia by Dassault Systèmes.

We deployed a disruptive solution based on standard Web technologies only, making the service widely available on any desktop OS (Windows, Mac and Linux) as well as on popular mobile systems. Through a sophisticated processing chain – deployable on an enterprise grid computing – the 3D Catia models and the associated metadata are imported to be delivered on a simple web browser without any plugin.

Using web services and JavaScript API, we created mashup applications mixing PLM, 3D models and content coming from heterogeneous softwares.
