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.

Airbus

Airbus is the world’s leading aircraft manufacturer. Customer focused, its commercial know-how, technological leadership and manufacturing efficiency have brought the company to the forefront of the industry.

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.

i3M

i3M is a multimedia engineering company specialized in training solutions dedicated to Aerospace, Defense, Industry and Health sectors with highly technical contents. Thirty employees are currently working in Toulouse. From the beginning in 1996, the company was dedicated to educative CD-Roms and graphic design. But very quickly, as the company listened to its customer needs, its activities extended to multimedia services and solutions for the industry.

Need

i3M called on our services for the whitelabelling development of a satellites sales support tool (web back office and cross-platform front office) for one of its customer.

Solution

As i3M requested a cross-platform application (PC, Mac, Tablets), we advised an hybrid development, building most of the application on web technologies (HTLM5/CSS3/Javascript) and integrating this Web app to a native application through a WebView component. The final result is a standard application which is distributed, installed and executed like any other application. To be in line with this approach, we have based its development on the Open Source frameworks Apache Cordova (for touchpads) and Node-Webkit (for PC and Mac).

The back office has been fully built using Play framework and HTLM5/CSS3 technologies. Play is a productive Java framework which allows the creation of web management applications. The communication between the client application (tablet or PC/Mac) and the back office has been implemented with REST Web Services (JSON) on HTTP transportation protocol.
