Innovative Integrated Solutions
Directional Consulting delivers solutions using a combination of Open-Source code and proprietary algorithms. We have a strong history of developing application functions and simulation models and processing Big Data using proprietary ETL (Extraction, Transformation, and Loading) functions. Our specialties include database design for data sets transformed into relational databases using standard OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) cube schema design principles used by most business intelligence tools.
Real-time GPS and IoT Applications
Directional Consulting offers solutions for manufacturing execution systems, test stations, and data acquisition systems using proven IoT methodologies, like MQTT and Node.js with MongoDB. Simple, practical applications for device control software and assembly line test stations. The popular mobile phone application Transit receives GPS data from a PHP parallel bounce proxy built for the VTA bus and light rail GPS data. The application solved the issue of delays by performing the tasks in parallel with background processing using Linux threading.
Project Portfolio
Advanced Monitoring and Security
Directional Consulting provides extensive real-time monitoring of application processes and server metrics using the Elastic Observability platform. Alert conditions are detected automatically by APM metrics and real-time log detection conditions to notify support personnel immediately.
MonitoringManufacturing Applications
Directional Consulting has experience of developing MES (Manufacturing Execution System) applications. First, look at this high-level overview of the technologies used to integrate all the processes for an assembly line. Next, learn how the application facilitates device control software for shift operators and collects multiple CSV test results per sensor calibrated. Then data is transformed using ETL into a relational OLAP database using master normalized data tables for traceability and production engineering analysis.
ManufacturingReal-time GPS Applications
Directional Consulting has extensive experience using real-time GPS data applications. Learn more by reading about our unique bounce proxy solution for processing GPS Public Transit Vehicle data from over 598 buses and 98 light rail vehicles every 2 seconds. This application provides a bounce relay for the VTA vehicle GPS data to 5 Bay Area Transit Agency partners, including the popular mobile phone app, Transit.
Real-time GPSAPM - Application Performance Monitoring
An APM agent embedded into the application code permits real-time data collection from within the code base, giving insights, metrics, and alert notifications. Optimizing an APM data stream to provide meta information is critical in understanding the bottlenecks, memory issues, invalid data values, and transactions per second.
PerformanceRelational Databases and Big Data
Directional Consulting specializes in ETL (Extraction, Transformation, and Loading) of various data files, including CSV, XML, TXT, and JSON formats. Past projects include databases accumulating billions of unique data records monthly. In addition, relational database schemas grant applications traceability and origin location information.
DatabasesOpen Source Industry Standards
Directional Consulting promotes widely adopted software development best practices and industry standards in all aspects of any project. The application of these principles results in higher-quality software applications. Additionally, the components and code structure adhere to standard software rules.
