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.

Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine

By Caroline Kaercher / April 5, 2018 / Comments Off

Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine

The Conseil Régional Nouvelle-Aquitaine (“Nouvelle-Aquitaine” Regional Council) is forming, aside with the economic, social and environmental regional council, the Nouvelle Aquitaine region. Its assembly is composed of 183 regional concillors, involved in a permanent commission and several sectorial commissions. These institutions have the mission to support economic, social and educational development for any citizens and companies in the region.

Need

Open ENT NG is the Digital Work Environment for the national education community, brought by the local collectivities association – which includes Region Nouvelle-Aquitaine. This open source DWE is composed of various tools and applications to support pedagogy at school. Available on this DWE, RBS (Remote Booking System) is the answer to any logistics issues concerning schools. The system offers to consult and book classrooms and equipments.
Unfortunately, Schools were keeping their old internal tools as the existing version of RBS was too simplistic to answer to the teachers and staffs needs.

Rethinking RBS’s features became mandatory to boost its adoption accross schools.

Solution

Improve accessibility and ergonomics

The site was developed using the latest web technologies (HTML5 / AngularJS and Java) to ensure high level ergonomics on any device – laptop, tablet or mobile.
Access to features was redesigned to offer the most intuitive experience to users, allowing them to :

view the agenda by day and by month,
export agenda under iCal and pdf format for one or several ressources and defined periods,
choose color display for every ressource and type of ressource,
display booking details by a simple overview.

Provide advanced management features

Users of the new version can access all ressources within all schools and view all updates history (modifications as well as cancellations).
As an example, classroom booking slots are updated in real time, as soon as one user save a modification or a cancellation. To manage all those features in real time mode, a back-end based on WS REST, Vert.x, MongoDB and Neo4J was used.

Those evolutions have contributed to the new RBS success, with more than 2,000 users engaged on a daily basis on this new tool.

Airbus Defence and Space – Intelligence

By Eric Descargues / September 18, 2017 / Comments Off

Airbus Defence and Space – Intelligence

Intelligence is a legal entity of Airbus Defence and Space division (Airbus Group).
Its mission is to allow smarter decision-making thanks to a premium product offering and unique services coming from satellite imagery.

Need

Intelligence asked DocDoku to create the new generation of its web portal dedicated to precision agriculture and crops management.
All season long, this service provides reliable and exploitable information to be used by farmers. Combining satellite imagery with drones, aircraft and agronomic expertise, these recommendations transcribe the real needs of the plants on plot scale in the form of documents, including text, tables and graphs of values, as well as agricultural plots cards. Furthermore, they permit to bring the proper imputs quantity in the right place at the right time. These recommendations are delivered to service subscribers through the web portal.

Another major goal of this project, but not the least, was to build a real business repository, which is exposed and usable by other IS applications.

Solution

Ergonomics and performance
Our many and various IS experiences in web / mobile development allow us to remain at the cutting edge of cross-platform and web technologies.
We particularly took care of the User Experience because we know that it’s really important for final users to adopt the solution (see screenshots below).

Scalability and robustness
In order to comply with these challenges, we based the new web portal development on our digital Open Source platform DocDokuPLM.
Based on the latest state of the art digital technologies, our platform was the answer to scalability and robustness requirements of such a key project, as it is for our industrials customers already in production.

An open, secured and upgradable business backbone
In order to build an open but secure business backbone, that can be used by others internal IS or external parts, we relied on the open architecture of our digital platform with many opportunities for integration in an extended IS.
DocDokuPLM is a real extensible PaaS for our customers’s business. So we could reuse and integrate a lot of our software components thanks to our multiple interfaces, i.e. our REST Web Services API or our both Java / Javascript SDK.

So by leveraging our existing platform already in production, the project benefits both open software architecture and robust and reliable features, which significantly decrease the risk of such a digital project.

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.
