Abstract(s)
A Vigie Solutions, é uma empresa reconhecida na área de saúde, onde utiliza sensores Wi-
Fi e Access points Internet of Things (IoT) para monitorizar variáveis de ambiente em
edifícios e equipamentos hospitalares.
Durante um dos processos de melhoria interna na Vigie, foram detetados vários
procedimentos que necessitavam de ser melhorados ou até mesmo ser automatizados.
Durante esse processo, foi identificado um problema recorrente relacionado com a
atualização manual na aplicação web Podio da contagem de sensores e Access points
instalados nos clientes. A aplicação Podio é uma ferramenta essencial nas várias áreas de
gestão da empresa. A manutenção manual dos dados revela-se morosa, suscetível a erros
e com impacto direto na faturação e na gestão operacional. A Vigie Solutions enfrenta
atualmente a necessidade de resolver este problema recorrente. Este processo, sendo
manual, tem gerado falhas na contagem, atrasos nos processos de faturação e perda de
confiança nos dados. A ausência de um mecanismo automatizado compromete a
fiabilidade da informação e pode originar perdas financeiras, evidenciando assim a
necessidade de implementar uma solução eficaz, segura e sustentável.
Uma vez que os dados envolvidos são sensíveis, a solução a desenvolver, deverá ser segura,
autónoma face a sistemas externos e permitir o controlo total sobre o código a ser
desenvolvido. Para ultrapassar estas questões, propôs-se o desenvolvimento de uma
aplicação dedicada que permitisse aos utilizadores da Vigie Solutions acompanhar o estado
das atualizações, consultar históricos, relatório das diferenças do número de sensores Wi-
Fi e Access points de cada cliente, efetuar atualizações manuais e validar a correção dos
dados. Desta implementação resultou um módulo que integra o Podio com o sistema de
IoT implementado atualmente na empresa.
Os testes efetuados demonstraram que o sistema agora possui alta fiabilidade, isto porque
sempre que um Sensor ou Access point é inserido, atualizado ou apagado, os dados são
imediatamente atualizados na plataforma Podio, eliminado quaisquer falhas que ocorriam
no processo manual anterior. Esta nova versão possui um sistema de redundância na atualização de dados, tendo todos os dias um script que verifica se os dados estão certos,
caso contrário envia uma notificação para o utilizador responsável. Além disso também
existe um script, para atualizar sensores e Access points, que pode ser corrido
manualmente através do Portal. É possível também obter relatórios, que identificam logo
o número de sensores por organização e gráficos que ajudam a detetar diferenças na
contagem total de sensores.
Vigie Solutions is a renowned company in the healthcare sector, where it uses Wi-Fi sensors and Access points Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor environmental variables in hospital buildings and equipment. During one of the internal improvement processes carried out at the company, several procedures were identified that needed to be improved or even automated. During this process, a recurring problem was identified related to the manual updating of the Podio web application for counting sensors and receivers installed at the customer's premises. The Podio application is an essential tool for various areas of the company. Manual data maintenance is time-consuming, prone to errors, and has a direct impact on billing and operational management. Vigie Solutions is currently facing the need to resolve this recurring problem. This manual process has led to counting errors, delays in billing processes, and a loss of confidence in the data. The absence of an automated mechanism compromises the reliability of the information and can lead to financial losses, thus highlighting the need to implement an effective, secure, and sustainable solution. Since the data involved is sensitive, the solution to be developed must be secure, autonomous from external systems, and allow full control over the code to be developed. To overcome these issues, we proposed the development of a dedicated application that would allow Vigie Solutions users to track the status of updates, view histories, report on the differences in the number of Wi-Fi Sensors and Access points for each customer, perform manual updates, and validate data accuracy. This implementation resulted in a module that integrates Podio with the IoT system currently implemented in the company. Tests have shown that the system now has high data reliability, because whenever a sensor or receiver is inserted, updated, or deleted, the data is immediately updated on the Podio platform, eliminating any failures that occurred in the previous manual process. This new version has a redundancy system for data updates, with a daily script that checks whether the data is correct and, if not, sends a notification to the responsible user. In addition, there is also a script for updating sensors and receivers, which can be run manually through the Portal. It is also possible to obtain reports that immediately identify the number of sensors per organization and graphs that help detect differences in the total number of sensors.
