Description of the solution<
After conducting the audit, a clear project had been defined. In discussion with the client, the custom solution was confirmed as follows: the development of an administration dashboard whose data will be viewable in a mobile application, developed for Android/IOS + the implementation of a scalable server.
1. Mobile App
Feature establishment based on customer need, display of data about the Solucalc devices installed, UX/UI conception and Design, publication to Apple Store and Google Play in Android/IOS.
2. Admin Dashboard
A custom dashboard has been developed to manage the creation of Solucalc devices for customers and the maintenance team. This tool also allows the sending of push notifications on the mobile application and the monitoring of the device fleet.
3. Server Config and API
The API, database and MQTTs will run on Dedicated Server Rack with load balancing based on Kubernetes and Docker. This infrastructure is scalable so that if more resources are needed in the future, which is expected as part of Solucalc's planned business development, the server setup can be ergonomically adapted to their needs.
