Logistics/Transportation Software Development
Mindfire has deep experience developing enterprise software, business applications and IT systems for logistics/transportation industries. We describe some of these logistics/transportation project experiences below, and will be glad to share our expertise in detail with you.
GPS based Vehicle Tracking System
GPS based vehicle monitoring system provider
Industry:
Logistics and transportation
Technologies:
Java, C#.net , MS Sql Server
We provide full[24 hr] maintenance for our client[application and db administration].Our maintenance job includes tuning in the application for any changes to digital or analog messages that might occur. We handle messages from devices from different makers, and are responsible for changes that needs to be done to the application for new tracking device we receieve from a new hardware manufacturer, since the message format varies from vendor to vendor.We also maitain the web-based site, which supports online polling for customers of tracker fitted vehicles.
Truck Tracking System
GPS Solution provider
Industry:
Logistic Software
Technologies:
C/C++, Linux (Fedora Core 4), GTKMM(GNOME), Anjuta1.2, Borland IDE 10.0
The entire project is based upon the concept of providing a customized and reliable solution to the Truck Tracking System and operates on GPS (Global Positioning System) to keep all information about the vehicle as well as the driver itself. Along with keeping information about the vehicle and the driver, the application adds different features starting from login of driver using electro-magnetic card, displaying all information of the status of driver on a timed graph, analyzing work-history of the driver of past days, facilitating input for Pre-Trip and Post-Trip Data, capturing electronic signatures and many more . It also provides a complete GIS (Geographical Information System) application to keep track of the vehicle visually. Mindfire was involved in developing the Linux version of the system. The team was also involved in fixing reported issues & as well as implementing additional features on the Windows version of the application as well.
Multiple Database Synchronization System
Logistics Software Company
Industry:
Logistics Industry
Technologies:
C#.NET, Web Services, MS SQL Server 2000, CSS, XML
This is basically multiple database synchronization for Logistic companies. The database servers get regularly updated with the latest data and the data flow is bidirectional. The system has two main sections, one is Client and other is Server (Web Service). The remote webservice has some objects exposed to internet and the client calls those remote objects for communication. The Client application selects records from the Local database and sends to server database in XML format by calling the web methods of webservice. The web method also replies back with the new records (meant for client database) from server database in XML format. The records are being manipulated (inserted or updated) as per the requirement.
Emergency Alerting System
GPS Solution Provider
Industry:
Logistic Software
Technologies:
C++, Borland Builder 10.0(Windows), GTKMM(Fedora Core)
Mindfire was involved in the development of this application which uses an alerting system to notify the server (via network communication protocol) for any emergency status of the field . It is used by the user as a safety tool while working alone in the field .The alerting system has its own defined notification structure to send various information regarding the field status . This helps the authorities to keep track of the status of the drivers and as well help them during emergency situations upon notifications.
Hazard Assessment System
GPS Solution Provider
Industry:
Logistic Software
Technologies:
C++, Borland Builder 10.0(Windows)
Mindfire developed this application which is used as a tool with having tactical intelligence to assist the user for assessing the risks/hazards involved in a trip in diverse circumstances . It helps the user to evaluate the risk involved in a trip. This involves a set of questionnaire that a user has to response to. Based on the response given by the user a report gets generated in a specified format and posted back on to the server to book the ticket to start up a trip.
GPS History Analyzer
GPS Solution Provider
Industry:
Logistics Software
Technologies:
VB.NET & SQL Server 2005
This application involves in analyzing the GPS position history record information of a vehicle, transmuting raw data into useful units and saving them into data store for future usage. Its primary aim is to assist other server-side programs to balance the run-time load for better efficiency and scalability .The original application was in VB 6.0 and the client was interested in migrating it to the .NET platform. Mindfire team was involved in migrating the VB6 application into VB.NET, fixing issues with the old code and converting the legacy system into a multi-threaded application.
GPS Position Analyzer
GPS Solution Provider
Industry:
Logistics Software
Technologies:
VB.NET , SocketWrench Standard Edition / .NET Edition & SQL Server 2005
This server application connected to remote GPS unit, collects and analyzes each position record of vehicle working on field using UDP connection . This application continually congregates UDP positions, parses them and transforms each into useful units that helps getting the field information as of a real-time basis . MindFire team is involved in migrating the original VB6 application into VB.NET, fixing issues with the old application and converting the legacy system into a multi-threaded application to make better use of DAQ (Data Acquisition) and parallel I/O operation to increase overall performance and responsiveness. SocketWrench Standard Edition/ .NET Edition was used for robust connection with the remote GPS unit and mini computer.
GPS Log Analyzer
GPS Solution Provider
Industry:
Logistics Software
Technologies:
VB.NET
This server application, connected to remote GPS unit and the minicomputer,
collects and analyzes a lot of field information like GPS position, vehiclelog, field alerts, canned and typed messages,satellite data, trail information, Bill Of ladding and many more . It sends acknowledgements and responses to keep a two-way communication with fields and operators for ease of handling the trip tracking system. Also sends various alert mails to the operating office through SMTP connection . MindFire team is involved in migrating the original VB6 application into VB.NET, fixing issues with the old application and converting the legacy system into a synchronized multi-threaded application to make better use of DAQ (Data Acquisition) and parallel I/O operation to increase overall performance and responsiveness.
