Client background & business context
- Client: the world's leading supplier of production solutions in the woodworking industry with 14 specialized production plants worldwide as well as more 6,600 employees
- Project: Data engineering, analysis, and web application development
Challenges
One of our client’s biggest aim is to stand out from the growing competition by providing easy-to-use software solutions besides his renowned woodworking machine. These solutions are designed to guide a carpenter during all the processing steps, while offering benefits like time saving, better organization, waste reduction and implicitly, cost reduction. Other solutions focus on providing data insights, related to the machines’ behavior, usage, and production output.
Our approach
With the client’s main objectives in mind, and considering their specific business needs and challenges, Accesa provides the client with a complex IT solution that encompasses:
- Data engineering – building and monitoring a reliable Cloud infrastructure that can handle streaming and batch data ingestion, as well as complex ETL processes applied on time series data
- Data analysis – analyzing the behavior, usage, and performance of different machine components (saw carriage, main saw, pressure beam) or machine types (Edge banders, Saws, Sanders) and visualizing this data into comprehensive reports and dashboards
- Web and mobile application development
Over the course of our collaboration, both teams – ours and the client’s - have grown in number while learning to work better and better as a single team. The communication channels and tools are used constantly and effectively, which ensures that the knowledge and best practices are delivered in a timely fashion to every team member.
In our collaboration, we are glad to apply one of the most valuable elements in Accesa’s identity: having a consultancy approach. Our win-win relationship with the client allows us to freely come up with questions or recommendations of new technologies, while adapting to our customer needs, like: bringing value to different areas of his business, integrating his developers into our systems, responding to customers support.
