Project Summary

 

Overview

Clarience Technologies’ Road Ready industrial internet of things (IIoT) devices are real-time telematics devices that are attached to fleet trailers and transmit location and event-based data over a 4G LTE network. Since the devices operate over a cellular network, further investigation and analysis are needed to identify locations with weak cellular strength for improvement.

Objectives

Our system focused on accomplishing three main objectives:

  1. Be able to intake data and apply compound filtering and searching to the client’s business needs.
  2. Render the filtered data in the form of a heat map. 
  3. Apply statistical analysis and produce charts to represent the relevant data. 

Approach

  • Performed preliminary research on client knowledge-domain
  • Extensively spoke with industry mentor to gather requirements
  • Transcribed requirements into user and system requirements
  • Explored relevant frameworks and packages
  • Created prototypes and presented to industry mentor for feedback 

Outcomes

The final outcomes of the system are: 

  • The sponsor can intuitively perform analysis of cellular signal strength by location, date range, and firmware. 
  • The system identifies and visualizes data for use in improving areas with low cellular signal strength.
