Centrally Located World-Wide Reaching Diagnostics Application

 

Project Requirements

Providing accurate diagnostics on engines is a challenge, mainly when experts working at corporate headquarters cannot see what the technicians see in the field. Designed to solve this issue and allow the company to diagnose engine problems from a central location, Intertech was asked to give their technicians across the globe the ability to share what they were experiencing on the ground with experts back at headquarters.

Result

Subject matter experts at the client’s headquarters can now access and diagnose/troubleshoot data seamlessly with technicians on location, anywhere in the world. As a result, expertise is now available globally, and service quality and speed have improved dramatically, reaching customers expectations and satisfactions.

Overview

A global marine manufacturer requested Intertech to work with its internal development team to create a solution that worked on a variety of platforms. These platforms were already in use while supporting multiple diagnostic tools that were already in use but not linked quite yet.

Intertech consultants reviewed several alternatives and considered existing IT requirements before deciding on a React application. This application used D3 as its visual language. For the back-end, it was determined that it should be written as a WebAPI solution using .NET Core. The outcome would allow technicians to upload recordings that could be analyzed from any operating system and browser.

In addition, Intertech’s developers were able to work remotely, keeping developers near their families and saving the client the overhead of travel time and office space while maintaining ongoing communication and a team environment.

Subject matter experts at the client’s headquarters can now access and diagnose/troubleshoot data seamlessly with technicians on location, anywhere in the world. Intertech’s research and consultation helped discover and design a solution that now integrates well with current service and maintenance workflows, as well as existing on-premise software, creating a turnkey solution with intuitive user experience.

"Working with Intertech allowed us to modernize the user interface of the equipment we produce."

“Working with Intertech allowed us to modernize the user interface of the equipment we produce. The consultants they provided were clearly experts in their field and brought the necessary knowledge to our team to update our application. But working with Intertech also helped us move toward a faster development and deployment cycle for our new features moving forward. This new user interface will provide a better user experience for our customers, and our new deployment pipeline will enable us to continue improving that user experience over the months and years to come.”

"Thanks to everybody for the efforts over the last 18 months!"

“It’s with mixed feelings that this day has arrived. I’m sad to see this collaborative effort come to an end; but I’m excited with what we have accomplished. Tom & Scott had a lot of patience with me through the process and were able to teach me a lot of good stuff. For me, one of the big benefits of the Intertech/[client] relationship was it helped me demonstrate the value of software to the company which led to my getting approval to hire two software folks. Even though this particular project/phase is at an end, I’m hoping we have the opportunity to work together again. Once again, Thanks to everybody for the efforts over the last 18 months.”
