Applikation:	Glencore
Technologie:	Angular Framework, Python, Django Rest Framework, SQL, Azure

Glencore is one of the world's leading raw materials companies with over 150 mining, metallurgy, and oil production sites.

We had the opportunity to support Glencore in their facility management process and its maintenance, and to optimize the process.

For this purpose, we developed a web app that enables the customer to capture individual main buildings and segment them. The application also allows the administration of the individual devices within the buildings. For each defined device, service  and maintenance appointments can be scheduled, which are linked to the respective responsible service partner.

Due to the cooperation between Glencore and instaSoluation - our sister company - we were also allowed to integrate an interface which also displays the alarms of the respective devices.

 

Kunde:	Mercer Alternatives AG
Applikation:	Mercer
Technologie:	Web2Py, Python , MySQL

Mercer Alternatives AG is an independent Swiss investment advisor for institutional investments in private equity, real estate and infrastructure. With more than 130 employees at its offices in Zurich and Nyon, Mercer is one of the leading providers of pension advice, investment consulting and solutions as well as advice on human capital and compensation management in Switzerland.

The company offers individual advisory solutions and collective investment vehicles, as well as investment controlling and reporting services.

soXes has developed an application for Mercer to calculate the total expense ratio, or TER (Total Expense Ratio). The Total Expense Ratio is a key figure that puts all administrative costs of an investment vehicle in relation to the assets under management.

The calculation basis (funds and their net asset value as well as investors and their units per fund) is imported from a central system via an import interface into the Mercer TER application. In contrast, the management costs are entered manually. Based on this data, the application calculates the total cost ratio per investor for their investments at the touch of a button. The results can be output as PDF or Excel reports and distributed to the investors. A user management function allows the distribution of roles with different authorizations.

The Mercer web application is programmed in Python and the data is managed in a PostgreSQL database.

soXes developed the initial web application in 2013 and since then has further developed the TER application in the context of change requests. In 2019 soXes received a refactoring order. The data model was fundamentally revised in order to better represent fund of fund structures (multi-level hierarchy) and at the same time the technology stack was updated.

With today's solution, calculations are more efficient, significantly faster and easier. This reduces the source of errors and enables significant time savings. The documents are now stored centrally and clearly arranged at the right place and are available at any time. In addition, the proportionate total cost ratio for an investor in complex investment structures can be calculated in the desired level of detail.

Applikation:	smartBSAzg
Technologie:	Python, Django, NGinx, MySQL, Angular, ag-grid, XML, React Native

The Electrical Engineering Department of the Canton of Zug Civil Engineering Office is responsible for the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the operating and safety equipment (BSA) of the cantonal roads.

The electrotechnical operating and safety equipment (BSA) of the cantonal roads in the canton of Zug shall become smart.

All BSAs of the Canton of Zug, which are located on the cantonal roads or in technical premises, must be clearly identifiable by means of a plant identification system (ACS).

Already today, all BSA elements of the canton of Zug are clearly marked. However, the existing coding was no longer sufficient. In smartBSAzg, the BSA will receive an extended AKS coding.
The new AKS code is formed from 14 segments according to AKS-ZG+, which also allows the dynamic coding of data points.

soXes has received the order to develop a web-based BSA tool. In the smart BSA tool, all BSAs are to be inventoried. smartBSAzg contains the static master data, which can be dynamically synchronized with connected peripheral systems (UeKS and UeLS) via XML interface.

New and changed BSA data should be automatically synchronized with surrounding systems. An XML-based interface is to be built, which allows daily data synchronization with surrounding systems.

Within the scope of this project, soXes has also developed a mobile app that allows to read all captured BSA data by scanning the data matrix on the on-site BSA signs.

Applikation:	MyPortaNet

Together with our customer PortaNet AG from Emmen, we at soXes GmbH have developed a digitalized measuring and information system for windows, doors and gates. Now, windows and doors can be digitized very easily; with a complete cloud solution based on low-power/wide-area technology.

MyPortaNet automatically measures, controls and administrates the complete usage process with information, fault reports and maintenance activities. If a service is due or if a door is open which should be closed, the system automatically signals the status or service requirement. This digital measurement data thus helps companies (but also private individuals) in particular to better design their processes, provide targeted services for their customers, reduce costs and save time, optimize repairs and maintenance of doors and windows and, last but not least, increase security.

PortaNet recognized the pulse of time early on: The earlier you jump on the bandwagon of digitalization, the more interesting your own competitive advantages and those of your customers will be. Soon the idea and vision was there to automatically control and administer the complete usage process of doors and windows with information, fault reports and maintenance activities thanks to the new possibilities of IoT (Internet of Things). Because the Internet of Things opens up completely new possibilities and added value for users in this area as well. 

Possible areas of application are very diverse, for example:

Would you also like to use the IoT potential for your company within your industry?
Are you looking for successful developers to implement your IoT project?

We would be happy to support you in all aspects of the Internet of Things (IoT) and show you directly with further examples how you can digitalize your business processes. 

We at soXes look forward to many more success stories in the area of Internet of Things, where we can contribute our expertise and many years of experience in the design and development of IoT projects. Because we accompany our customers from the beginning to the successful implementation from A to Z.

Our experts and developers are there for you and will answer your questions in a non-binding discussion. Contact our consultants now at 055 253 00 53 or solutions@soxes.ch
