About The Customer
Our client is a global jersey wear apparel industry leader based in South Asia. They specialize in the design and production of fast-fashion jersey wear products for the high streets. Their Order Management system was built using legacy Oracle Forms and Reports and was continuously enhanced for over two decades. While functionally the system met the requirements, the application was difficult to use and required skilled force for maintenance. The system could not keep up with modern-day requirements around mobile workforce support, dynamic business requirements, and increasing costs.
The Challenge
The client, a global jersey wear apparel industry leader based in South Asia, faced significant challenges with their Order Management System, which was built using legacy Oracle Forms and Reports. The system, although functionally adequate, was difficult to use and required a skilled workforce for maintenance. It was not in sync with modern-day requirements, such as mobile workforce support and dynamic business needs, leading to high maintenance costs. The business sought to invest in future-proofing technology while reusing important business assets gathered over two decades, including business logic and application-specific data.
The Solution
The client modernized their existing Order Management System using WaveMaker. The new application built on WaveMaker low-code addressed the existing challenges of usability and mobility and helped deliver a future-proof scalable architecture. The solution involved retaining the Oracle database and business logic while reusing the legacy database through simple REST API-based database connectors on WaveMaker. WaveMaker widgets, themes, and styles were used to create a modern, responsive UI that supports multiple form factors, including desktop, mobile, and tablet interfaces. The entire application, including its integration, was built using WaveMaker’s WYSIWYG interface with a visual drag-and-drop method, drastically reducing the overall effort to develop the UI and reducing the time-to-market. The platform also enabled quick setup and automated deployment of the developed application across development, staging, and production environments, making app delivery error-free and efficient.

Fire Alarm System and Remote Monitoring Sytem
Fire alarm systems are essential in providing an early warning in the event of fire. They help to save lives and protect property whilst also fulfilling the needs of insurance companies and government departments.Fire alarm systems typically consist of several inter-linked components, such as smoke detectors, heat detector, carbon monoxide, manual call points, sounders, alarm and buzzer. The fire alarm system should give immediate information in order to prevent the fire spread and protect live and property.To get maximum protection a shoe manufacturer in Indonesia opted for a new fire alarm system to monitor 13 production sites spread over 160 hectars. Although the company had an existing fire alarm system, it could not be monitored remotely.It was essential that the new system would be able to be monitored from a central control room. It needed to be able to connect to the existing smoke detector and manual call point. Information should be easily collected and passed on to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. Furthermore, the system should have several features such as alarm management, auto reporting, being connected to many client computers without additional cost, and run 24/7 without fails. The company also needed a system which could be implemented without changing the architecture of the existing fire alarm system.

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

Retailer Uses RFID Scanner to Improve Efficiency
Patrizia Pepe wished to improve the logistics of their warehouse: accepting incoming goods from their production sites, movement of items throughout
the warehouse, and packaging of goods for distribution to the retail locations. They initially tried to use barcodes for this function. Because barcodes must be individually scanned within a line-of-sight, the acceptance of goods coming into the warehouse was too time consuming. Working with the University of Florence, Patrizia Pepe instituted a five-month pilot project beginning in August of 2009 to test the validity of an RFID solution. The pilot involved tagging of about 60,000 items for the second seasonal collection, and convinced the company to move forward with tagging all items.

Monitoring and Controlling Automatic Mixing and Dispensing Machines
As technology advances, textile manufacturing has been transformed from a labor-intensive to a partially or fully automated industry. Automation is significant in all segments of textile production - from spinning to printing, and textile machinery manufacturers are constantly searching for new technologies and automation processes will increase the productivity of their machines. The color paste mixing and dispensing machine is an essential part of the printing and dyeing process. With the advantage of automatically computerized controls and database management, the system can significantly improve its dispensing precision, working efficiency and production quality as well as reducing material consumption.
