SMARTS
A product developed for a hot start company in California, Which is division of
a fortune 100 company. It offers an integrated configuration for businesses that
require a pure, uninterrupted, on-site energy supply. SMARTS facilitates not only
to remotely diagnose power supply devices but also to configure these devices from
the site.
Challenge
The biggest challenge in SMARTS was to write “Standard Device Drivers”
to communicate with Power devices such as Generator and UPS. Another challenge was
to communicate with power devices remotely while using modem and Ethernet
as communication medium.
Solution
XML was used to standardize device drivers so that any device supporting Modbus
protocol can use these drivers to communicate remotely.
Benefits:
- Automated diagnostic capabilities
- Low level and detailed analysis of power
devices
- XML based device communication
- Device independent (supports
all Mod-bus devices)
- Historical data for each device
- Preventive maintenance
-
Time & Cost Savings
- Device registers read and write capabilities
Web Dimensions
Web Dimensions was developed for US healthcare industry for First Report of Injury
of workers. It supports different requirements for all 50 US states. The user can
report injury and view/print report using his/her browser. This system was developed
using Java, XML/XSL and Servlets technologies. This product is very flexible from
configuration aspect. An XML based markup language is used to store the configuration
of database, connectivity, input forms, form validation rules etc. A number of tools
are being developed for this system so that it can tailored to the specific needs
of health care provider and/or government agencies.
Challenge
Major challenge was to design forms and display them on XML compatible and non XML
compatible browsers. At the time, when this project was developed, XSL was still
evolving and there was no flexible visual ID to design complex forms.
Solution
For this project, we have developed different tools like XFL Cafe, a visual ID for
designing forms, XFL Mapper for IE, a tool/component of Web Dimensions that convert
the XFL to XSL which confirms the IE standards, XSL Viewer, a tool/component that
help users to view the First Report of Injury (form) using a non-XML browser, PDF
Generator, an java application which is used on server side and generates the PDF
files from XML and XSL files by using the Acrobat Distiller.
Benefits
Insurers can use Web Dimensions to give their customers personalized, 24/7, secure,
password-protected ability to report incidents over the Internet with simple point
and click commands. Accurate information can be instantly transmitted via email
for case management to TPA's, insurance carriers and risk managers, enabling early
effective action on claims.
