Side Projects

• Content
  • Device low-level live monitoring
• Back-end: stateless (hybrid), using:

TIDVG5 Dashboard

• Features
  • Direct RDA3 connectivity (cmw-express)
    • Sharing device connection to reduce impact
    • Automatic disconnection when idle
  • Animated graphics (SSVG)
    • Animated values on scalable drawings
  • Close to zero code (mainly layout)
    • Thanks to SSVG and cmw-express library
• Meant to be replaced by WRAP
  • SSVG part will be directly re-used

TIDVG5 Dashboard

• Content
  • Zero-code animated graphics engine
  • Specification / playground
  • Integrated in our widgets library (base-vue)
• Progress
  • Will be integrated in WRAP and transferred to BE-CSS (Q4-2021)
  • Specification revision 4 reviewed and implemented and deployed
    • hardened contexts, direct relations, context, events ...
  • Editor implementation ongoing (on week-ends)
