Overview
Digitizing industrial machinery management and support
A company specializing in digital transformation for engineering helps industrial organizations connect systems, data, and processes throughout the product lifecycle, from engineering to production and service.
As part of the shift toward increasingly digital industrial environments, the company wanted to develop a collaborative tool to support those responsible for the maintenance, repair, and replacement of Industry 4.0 machinery.
Working alongside their teams, we built a multi-tenant platform composed of several applications, creating a digital foundation to support different needs related to industrial machinery management and service.
The Challenge
Bringing critical maintenance processes into a collaborative digital environment
Industrial machinery maintenance involves different processes, users, and information that need to be available throughout the lifecycle of each piece of equipment.
The challenge was to create a tool specifically designed to support those responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing Industry 4.0 machinery.
The solution needed to bring different capabilities together within a collaborative experience while operating on a multitenant architecture.
This meant going beyond a single application and building a technology foundation capable of integrating different tools for service, access management, tenant administration, and BOM exploration.
The Solution
An ecosystem of applications for industrial maintenance
In collaboration with the client’s team, we helped design and develop a platform composed of specialized applications.
The Service App was designed to support service needs related to machinery maintenance, repair, and replacement.
The platform also incorporated additional components to address different needs within the same experience:
Access Management App
A component dedicated to managing access across the platform.
Tenant Management App
An application for managing the different tenants within the solution’s architecture.
BOM Explorer App
A tool for exploring the BOM (Bill of Materials) associated with machinery and its components.
The front-end architecture was developed with Angular, using NGRX for state management and NX Monorepo to organize the UI applications. The back end was built on .NET Core, together with Azure and DevOps practices.
From UI/UX to software development, we worked alongside the client to translate the needs of a complex industrial environment into a set of digital tools designed to operate as part of a single platform.
Key Impact
A digital foundation for Industry 4.0 maintenance
The solution brought together different capabilities within a single environment to support the maintenance, repair, and replacement of industrial machinery.
A collaborative experience
A tool specifically designed to support the different people involved in industrial machinery management and service.
Specialized applications, one platform
Service, Access Management, Tenant Management, and BOM Explorer operate as components of the same digital ecosystem.
Multitenant architecture
The platform was built on an architecture capable of supporting multiple tenants within the same solution.
Digital access to BOM data
BOM Explorer brings Bill of Materials exploration into the machinery management experience.
A foundation designed to evolve
.NET Core, Angular, NGRX, NX Monorepo, Azure, and DevOps provide a technology foundation for developing and managing multiple applications within the same environment.
