Background
Before contacting Computools, the client conducted research on the Internet. It also consulted experts in the cargo transport industry. Our company took part in the tender by carrying out a small related project, thus demonstrating our expertise. The two sides started cooperation.
Approach to solution
An analysis of existing systems on the market showed that a comprehensive solution was required that would provide real-time monitoring of cargo traffic, predict potential security threats and facilitate rapid response to problems. The technical plan of the project included a systematic algorithm of step-by-step development, testing and implementation of individual components of the platform.
Computools role
We created a smooth and reliable system for monitoring, processing and storing complete data on trains, timetables, congestion and speed. Our workflow involved several steps. Sensor-generated information from railways and stations was fed into storage facilities and visualised using tables or a special method; then in-depth data analysis was performed, the results of which were carefully documented in reports and distributed via predefined communication channels to specific recipients or systems.
Key decisions and outcomes
Computools helped the client make several key decisions during the project:
- Utilising the MOTT protocol to ensure high system performance and reliability.
- Developing customised algorithms to analyse sensor data and generate alerts.
- Creating a user-friendly user interface for freight monitoring.
Computools was selected through an RFP process. They were shortlisted and selected from between 5 other suppliers. Computools has worked thoroughly and timely to solve all security issues and launch as agreed. Their expertise is impressive.
