Abstract(s)
Atualmente a nearSea Technologies opera diretamente com a HMC, líder no fornecimento de serviços de conformidade elétrica na Inglaterra. A HMC é uma empresa inglesa que atua no setor elétrico, garantindo que a infraestrutura elétrica das casas e outros edifícios funciona de forma segura e eficiente a toda a hora. De momento, grande parte dos serviços prestados pela HMC são efetuados através de inspeções por parte dos seus engenheiros. Das inspeções resulta um documento formal, o certificado de instalação elétrica, que contém a descrição da instalação elétrica, resultados de testes efetuados à instalação, observações decorrentes e finalmente a aprovação ou não da instalação. Dada a elevada frequência de inspeções e o trabalho repetitivo e exaustivo necessário em cada uma delas, surgiu a necessidade de transformar e otimizar todo este processo. De modo a atender a esta necessidade, a nearSea Technologies comprometeu-se a desenvolver diversas aplicações que permitam aos profissionais no terreno, efetuar todas as suas tarefas de forma mais eficiente e eficaz. Dessa forma, surgiu a oportunidade de desenvolver o projeto atual, sendo que, o principal objetivo passa não só pela criação de uma nova plataforma, como por dotar as plataformas existentes de funcionalidades que permitam aos profissionais efetuar as suas tarefas do dia-adia. Dentro destas funcionalidades, destaca-se o desenvolvimento de uma API que suporte a importação e análise de certificados elétricos através de tecnologias e ferramentas de OCR. Terminado o desenvolvimento do presente projeto, foi disponibilizada uma nova plataforma aos gestores da HMC, onde os mesmos eram capazes de efetuar a importação e respetiva validação de certificados emitidos em inspeções prévias através de ferramentas de OCR. Efetuada a importação dos mesmos, os engenheiros tinham a possibilidade de consultar o histórico de certificados importados e duplicar os mesmos, caso necessário, de forma a reusar a sua informação e acelerar todo o processo de inspeções. A plataforma desenvolvida e as funcionalidades adicionadas aos serviços existentes foram avaliadas através do modelo Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) e consideradas bemsucedidas, dado que apresentaram uma dimensão de 95% na avaliação da sua qualidade.
Currently, nearSea Technologies works directly with HMC, the leading provider of electrical compliance services in the UK. HMC is an UK organization that works in the electrical sector, ensuring that the electric infrastructure of homes and other buildings is always working safely and efficiently. Currently, most of the services provided by HMC are carried out in the form of inspections by its engineers. These inspections, result in a formal document, the electrical certificate, which contains the description of the electrical installation, the results and observations of the tests carried out on the installation and finally its approval or rejection. Given the high frequency of inspections and the repetitive and exhaustive work required in each of them, the need to transform and optimize this process arose. To meet this need, nearSea Technologies committed to developing multiple applications that allow professionals in the field to carry out all their tasks more efficiently and effectively. Therefore, appeared the opportunity to develop the current project, and the main objective is not to only create a new platform, but to also provide the existing platforms with features that allow professionals to solve the problems described above. Among these features, we highlight the development of an API that supports the import and analysis of electrical certificates through OCR technologies and tools. After finishing the development of the current project, a new platform was provided to the HMC managers, where they could import and validate certificates emitted in previous inspections through OCR tools. After the certificates were imported, the engineers had the possibility to consult an history of the imported certificates and duplicate each of them, if necessary, to reuse their information and speed up the inspections process. The developed platform and the functionalities added to the existing services were evaluated through the Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) model and considered successful, given that it presented a dimension of 95% in the evaluation of its quality.
