Our Solution

Fame-tec manages all the machines, customers and employees in a web App. A employee can log in to the special designed mobile App with the admin-created credentials to scan the QR code added on a machine to get the latest information and liquid history/status. The employee can update the status in the App.

The QR codes for each machine are created in the Web App, printed and added to the production line machines. For effective fluid control and to machine work securely, certain targeted values of the liquid has been set on machine level and are monitored actively by the IT Solution.

Instead of using a paper and updating it manually, you can add and update liquid values from the mobile App or web App. A machine's latest entries can be retrieved by scanning a QR code or searching manually by customer, machine number, or location.

As owner of the machine you can access a customer panel to view all your machines. The machine displays three liquid status indicators: Red, Green, and Yellow. The last status of a particular machine and the time of its last operation can also be viewed. Reports about machine entries are emailed every day at 8 PM to the customer and admin.

Tech Stack

Tech

Cross-platform development flutter (Dart)

Back-end

Flutter applications are written in Dart. Dart is an open-source and free language. Flutter contains more app-specific libraries, including widgets, materials, and cupertino. With this, it is possible to build an application that will run on 6 different platforms simultaneously. These include Windows, Linux, Android, Mac, and iOS.

Back-End and Web App

Back-end

Fame-tec backend and Web Apps were developed using Laravel, which provides comprehensive support for fast and scalable cache systems like Redis. Laravel is an incredibly scalable and scaling-friendly framework. With its built-in capabilities to communicate with MySQL databases through our Rest APIs. This allowed us to achieve high scalability as well as low latency connections between servers/user interfaces-allowing users instant gratification!

APIs Development

Social

Custom development of all APIs to share the information and required actions between mobile app, web app and admin panel quickly and effectively to reduce the loading time in the app and cost on the server.

Admin Panel

Social

Development of an admin panel where the admin(s) can create multiple customers, employees, and sub-admins. They can keep track of which machines are connected to which customers. It is possible to assign machines to specific customers or users.

How Vitec Archived The Project Goal?

Client goal

The fame-tec mobile app roadmap has been developed in collaboration with our partners. We identified the technology stack that would be required to build a reliable and performant solution. We focus on building reliable use cases to make the solution more user-friendly, meaningful, and efficient.

services category

We put a lot of effort into designing the features and flow. The better this work, the easier it will be to implement next steps in our project. In order to break each component down into smaller pieces, we used the C4 method. Through this method, we design IT Solutions abstractly and determine which architecture is the most appropriate for our partners problems. We created a low-fidelity prototype using Figma to test out the user flows and the interaction between such as Mobile and Web Apps.

services category

It was our goal to develop a robust code architecture, easy to maintain, and capable of intelligently serving all user flows without large amounts of customization in fame-tec For each feature we developed, and followed the MVVM design pattern. We designed a meaningful API and error-handling mechanism to ensure a safe and secure interaction.

services category

Agile? Using agile methods, we prioritized regression testing based on the level of error risk. More than 20 use cases are designed for different operating systems, ensuring that the applications are highly responsive. We tested the solution end-to-end with a variety of positive and negative scenarios.

services category

No worries. We made sure that users will have a magical experience while using fame-tec. Deployment is done in Apple Business Manager. The app is ready for distribution to specific Apple-IDs, without releasing the App to the public as it is only for employees of their business.

Main Functionalities

Scan QR Code Workflow

Check-Out

The user can log in into fame-tec with the admin-provided credentials, ensuring that they are authorized to access all or specific machine's details. A QR code is generated by the admin and printed for use on the production line.

Users can scan QR codes. By successfully scanning the QR code, users will be able to find detailed information about the machine, general information, and contact information.

Check-Out

Machine Liquid Filling Status

Check-Out

The QR code scan will provide the user with information about the machine, such as its description, liquid values, alerts, and target liquid values. In addition, the factory name and location of each machine. They can also access the latest reports with dates.

Three types of labels can be used to determine the liquid status of a machine;

Green: it indicates that the machine's liquid status is "Acceptable."

Yellow: it indicates that the liquid status of the machine is "Tolerable."

Red: it indicates that the machine's fluid level is insufficient and "Action Is Required."

Check-Out

Manual Process Workflow

Check-Out

Offline Handling:
The user can also work manually in the fame-tec App, which can also be accessed offline.
When users do not have access to the internet, they can manually search machines and view machine detail metrics instead of scanning QR codes. The fame-tec app allows users to manually add entries and notes. Offline entries are stored locally and can be uploaded when the user has access to the internet. If the user wants data in the document, they must be online in order to download it.

Add a status report:
A process flow will not be executed if the user forgets to enter a value. Also, users can manually modify the PH and KSS filled-up status and submit it to the administrator. It is possible for them to review all the manual entries that have previously been recorded.

Check-Out

Customer Management

Check-Out

The customer is basically the machine owner who can log in and check all their machine entries and status maintained by fame-tec. They can update profile information, and export machine information in PDF files. Machine status can be monitored at any time. Whenever a machine has a new update, an email containing all the important information is automatically sent to the customer in the evening.

Biggest challenge

Biggest challenge and our journey of overcoming

Biggest challenge

It was a challenge to find a well designed concept for the offline mode of the Mobile App, as the machines are very often placed in locations where no internet is available.

In a small workshop we found a good solution that introduces a download function of the machines assigned to the account, makes their entries accessible offline and saves added status reports locally and pushes them when the App comes back online.

It was very important to us to keep this workflow as simple as possible for the user to avoid mistakes or lost status updates.

The offline access is a special functionality offered by fame-tec that enables users to keep working seamlessly without any hassle or difficulty even when they are not connected to the internet due to the location of the machine. It also allows users to search for machines, view all machine details along with liquid history/status that is stored locally, and manually enter/update liquid value entries.

No more worries about losing valuable data - any liquid value entries made while offline can be uploaded automatically to server databases once an internet connection is established.

Employees of fame-tec can experience uninterrupted productivity anytime, anywhere!
