Asset Management Dashboard App For A Manufacturing Giant
About the Client
Data plays a critical role in effective management today, be it any industry or vertical. With increased competition and customers expectations rising, the manufacturing sector is under immense pressure and is being forced to seek new ways to boost its bottom lines and meet customer’s demands through faster supply at lower costs. Now, more than a 100-year-old, the client is a Fortune 500 company, holding the position for the last 24 years and still counting. The client is multinational corporation headquartered in Switzerland, operating mainly in robotics, heavy electrical equipment, automation and technology verticals.
The Problem
The client came up with the idea to gain an edge over their competitors by employing effective data management and deploying similar solutions for their partners in the Heavy Industries unit. The idea was to improve manufacturing processes using data in the world that is in a state of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). They wanted to utilize big data and IoT from sensors to track and manage Manufacturing plants.
They reached out to us in 2019 while looking for an experts in React JS for their Plant Asset Management project. They looked at our profile and the work that we have showcased in our Case Studies. They were impressed by what we offered and got into discussions with us. After a detailed discussion about requirements, expectations and dependencies, we gave them a ballpark plan based on the Time & Material engagement model. They liked the plan and agreed to the engagement. With the web app, we were also engaged in building a mobile app for the same purpose. The project was officially kicked off in January, 2020.

Team On-Call
Understanding the complexity and duration of the project, a team of 7 members were tasked to take this responsibility and deliver quality at the drop of a dime. Following the agile methodology, the team involved was engaged in daily scrum meetings and daily updates were given to the client on call. With the team introduced to the client and the requirements set in place, the team got cracking at the project.

OUR APPROACH
We followed a structured and collaborative development approach focused on strategy, user experience, scalable development, and continuous testing. From initial planning to final delivery, every phase was designed to ensure a seamless product experience, faster development cycles, and successful MVP deployment within the project timeline.
Strategy
The goal being to improve the manufacturing processes of a company through data management solutions, we collaborated with the client engaging in a time and material model over the course of eleven months.
Analysis Planning
We employed React JS with Mobx as the appropriate tech stack for the project as the client required most of the work to be done on the Frontend.
UI/UX
The user base of the application and their familiarity with the technology was taken into consideration before the in-house team set on creating designs for both the web and mobile apps.
Development
The development phase of the app consisted of the creation of some features like a homepage with the recent summaries from different widgets, widget tabs, logs, charts and labels to improve the experience of the user.
Testing
To ensure that the product was upto the mark, rigorous User Acceptance Testing was conducted at every stage of the development process.
Delivery
After eleven months of ongoing work by the GeekyAnts, our collaboration was successful in creating an asset management dashboard to revolutionise manufacturing processes.
