Simulink Baseline Control tool

The Client: It's the Technical department of the world's largest automotive manufacturer which makes hybrid-powered & gas-powered cars, pickups, minivans, and SUVs. The parent company also makes forklifts and manufactured housing, and offers financial services too.

Business Challenges: Client has many simulink models for the design of the specific parts of the automobile. These simulink models needed to be managed and version controlled. Also, tags were necessary to unite the simulink models with necessary 'm' scripts and other data required for simulation of the model.

The Solution: A base model was prepared that acted as a proof of concept. After rigorous technical reviews, 'subversion' is chosen as a version control software. A scalable, robust system was developed to manage addition, updation and audit control of the models in the subversion. Displaying of history, search for old and new versions and tagging a project was incorporated in the proposed system.

The Acty India Approach: The system was developed using Simulink platform. It was designed to reflect the state of the art configuration parameterization and scalability to be integrated with third-party softwares. Rapid application development methodology concept was used for the design.

Job Log Collector Module

The Client: The Client is a leading Printing device manufacturing company from Japan.

Business Challenges: Client needed high quality support software in optimum cost and time that would work with one of its product called MFP. MFP is multipurpose machine which works as Printer, Scanner, Xerox machine, Fax machine. Client has its own big software team who has developed the Core framework of its OS and application software. Our challenge was to design and develop a plug-in called as Job Log Collector (JLC) which would be managed inside the Core framework. Purpose of this module was to collect the action log generated by the machine on periodic basis and to store it to a secure database. The Client's web application could then retrieve and query this database for checking the activities done on the MFP device. The module had to be developed to handle multiple devices at the same time with minimum load on the CPU.

The Solution: Acty System engineers studied the complex specifications and then designed a scalable logic functionality. JLC module interface was designed similar to other existing plug-in modules such as to fit into the existing core framework. This has enabled the client to now port or migrate the entire application functionality onto any platform without having to recompile and re-architect the code.
