About The Customer
Pertamina is one of the largest oil and natural gas corporations based in Jakarta, Indonesia. With around 13,000 employees, Pertamina needed a robust internal digital process system to maintain workflows. Solecode services, based in Indonesia, is a trusted WaveMaker partner who collaborated with the Pertamina IT team to migrate their Lotus Notes applications.
The Challenge
Pertamina had around 150 internal workflow process applications built on IBM Lotus Notes. They needed to migrate these workflows to modern applications urgently due to these reasons: Most of the internal workflows were developed using Lotus Notes which faced an uncertain future as the Lotus Notes license was due to expire in 6 months. Existing Lotus Notes forms were extremely complex with numerous controls and role-based access. Pertamina IT did not have sufficient manpower and tools to redevelop these applications rapidly. They wanted to transform the development team into an agile team by adopting the principles of Scrum along with a suitable platform.
The Solution
Pertamina, after extensive research, found that low-code was the answer for a rapid turnaround. Being Microsoft enthusiasts, Pertamina evaluated various low-code platforms like Powerapps, Outsystems, and WaveMaker and finally zeroed in on WaveMaker. They chose WaveMaker for four reasons: WaveMaker-built applications can be deployed anywhere, Source code can be extended, No vendor lock-in, Licensing model based on developer-seats. Solecode, a WaveMaker partner based in Jakarta, stepped in to take up this mammoth challenge by collaborating with Pertamina in transforming these applications. Pertamina understood the importance of agile methodologies and wanted their team to adopt Scrum. Solecode believed that low-code and Scrum would perfectly complement each other. This culture was ingrained into Pertamina’s IT development team in effective collaboration with Solecode. Using Excel sheets extracted from legacy databases, the IT team redesigned the new database on SQL Server. Lotus Notes UI screens were used as a reference to build the new interfaces with custom logic to rewrite the workflow as well as form validations. Third-party services such as compression of files, cropping of images, and Google-captcha were easily integrated into the application owing to WaveMaker’s API-first approach. Applications were made secure using Single Sign On (SSO) using OpenID and Keycloak. All applications were deployed on-premise using Ubuntu and Tomcat as the server.

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
Case Study
Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.
