SIWMA - SIWMA trading portal

About SIWMA Establish in 1982, SIWMA is a trade association representing the iron merchants in Singapore i.e. structural steel and metal works, roofing, steel material stockists etc. A key aim of the Association is to promote sharing of skills, ideas and better co-operation to enhance productivity among fellow iron merchants.

About project The intended online trading portal is for SIWMA’s members to inter-trade and share resources amongst themselves helps to cut back on wastes and improve productivity and hence bottom-line. “One man’s thrash is another man’s treasure” For example, Company A has secured a steel railings project that would require a total of 50 pieces of each 6 meters long steel pipes to fabricate the steel railings. However, the cutting plan of the railings is only 4.5 meters long i.e. for each of the purchased 6 meters long steel pipes, only 4.5 meters are to be consumed, leaving 2 meters as “wastage” (see Figure 1 below). Figure 1 - Company A’s cutting plan

Along comes Company B, who has secured another project to fabricate steel barrier which according to its cutting plan, requires 48 pieces of each 1.5 meters long steel pipes. Company B, without communicating with Company A, would like likely go on to procure 12 pieces of 6 meters long pipe, calculated 1.5 meters x 48 pieces = 72 meters, to be divided by 6 meters to derive 12 pieces of 6 meters long raw materials, (see Figure 2 below). Figure 2 - Company B's cutting plan

If Company B had gotten in touch with Company A, then the two can barter a deal for the latter to sell is 2 meters “wastage” to the former at a below market price. The aim of the online trading portal is to provide a platform for members of SIWMA to post what they wish to sell or buy, and the respective companies’ procurement in-charge will have an additional avenue of materials to source from.

Key Features Imagine the popular Carousell trading portal, but with particular focus on heavy industrial raw materials, consumables, equipment etc. The following are preliminary features to be included:

  1. Marketplace – where several sellers and vendors offer products listings, in exchange for some marketplace fees (that can be per item sold, product category etc.).
  2. Custom Search & Navigation – Customised to the user’s preference and habits.
  3. Messaging & Notifications – Each seller and buyer have their own inbox, which allows them to communicate freely without administrative intervention.
  4. Mobile Friendliness – Online shopping is increasingly moving from desktops and laptops to smart phones and tablets. The portal must be easy to use on any type of device or screen size.
  5. Analytics Dashboard – Monitor trends from real-time data and take in feedbacks to evolve and improve the portal.

TWC2 - SalaryTracker

TWC2 is interested to build a mobile app inspired by Jornaler (also known as Jornalero).

About the Journaler Jornaler@ is a mobile phone application that combines technology with worker education for preventing wage-theft and other labour rights violations. The app has been tailored to the specific needs of undocumented migrant day laborers in the USA, who are among the most vulnerable members of the workforce. They do not have regular jobs, but instead seek casual work from different employers day by day. Over 50% of day laborers have experienced some type of wage theft (non-payment of wages).

The Jornaler@ application provides day laborers and worker centers with a recordkeeping and data sharing tool, which would help them to both prevent wage-theft incidence. Through a record of work hours, and together with the ability to store information about their casual employers, e.g. the car they drive, Jornaler@ helps workers prove their claims to their rightful wages legally.

About TWC2’s proposed SalaryTracker app. Unlike the context for Jornalero, our Singapore app is aimed at legal workers. There is therefore no need for the app to store information about the employer beyond the official name of their legal employer. Instead, the focus of the app is to counter the possibility of false claims by the employer in cases of wage disputes. E.g. the employer might deny that the worker worked overtime on such and such a day, or the employer might say that the worker never showed up at work at all. The employer might also miscalculate the rate of pay for overtime, thus coming up with a total salary that is less that the worker should get.

Features we’d like SalaryTracker to have

  1. Store data on the phone with export option
  2. Store key information such as worker ID, employer name, basic monthly salary.
  3. App should be able to store information for up to three employers/jobs simultaneously.
  4. “Punch Card” function, allowing the worker to enter the time he starts work and the time he ends work for each day of the calendar. Worker can either capture the phone system’s time, or manually key in a time (if the latter, app should also log what time he manually keyed in the time in/out.)
  5. Geolocation function. Worker should be able to capture his geolocation at any time. The app should log the time he captured his geolocation. This will help the worker prove that he was at work at such and such a time.
  6. Salary estimate function. The app should be able to estimate for the worker, based on his punch card data, what his salary for the month is. This allows him to know whether the amount he is eventually paid is correct.
  7. Supporting documents. The worker is prompted to take photos of time cards and salary slips that the employer produces, and which are either given to him or temporarily shown to him. The app should link to the images stored.
  8. Languages. English, Chinese, Bengali, Tamil, Burmese.
  9. And any other features students might recommend.

Project Description

  • Background: Obesity is a big, worldwide problem, and the number of obese patients who need bariatric surgery is increasing rapidly. However, there are many myths surrounding surgery and there is strong need for providing right information to appropriate patients. Bariatric VR is designed for doctors to present data to patients in a visually immersive way covering educational videos on obesity and surgery, patient testimonials, co-morbidities related to obesity, and comparisons between the patient’s body pre and post-surgery.
  • Value Proposition: To create a unique, educational and immersive experience for patients to understand the challenges posed by morbid obesity and seek knowledge about treatment modalities including life transforming changes enabled by bariatric surgery.
  • Target users: Surgeons, physicians, bariatric counselors and patients

Functionality:

  • Synchronize: Unique Sync Code got from VR headset can be used to pair VR headset and iPad. After that, doctors with iPad are able to control what patients view in VR headset.
  • Short educational video on obesity and metabolic surgery
  • Patient Info: Input required questions like height, weight, pre-existing conditions in iPad. These answers are related with what will be shown later. There are also additional questions to help doctors know more about emotions of patients.
  • Related Stories: After patient info part, doctors can choose to play several videos related to bariatric surgery stories to build a more emotional background for patients before they talk about the surgery.
  • 3D Models: This is the main part of the demo. 3D human body models are shown here.

There are three modes in this part which are “Current Status”, “Projected Weight Loss” and “Comparison”. “Current Status” is showing the model similar to patients now. “Projected Weight Loss” is showing the model patients might be after the surgery. “Comparison” put two different models together to compare the changes directly.

Important parts of the body are highlighted, and detailed information will be provided when doctor click the spot. Doctors can use different types of contents such as texts, videos, 360° pictures, 360° videos.

The shape of the models and contents can be customized with questions before. By this way, patients get easier to listen and understand the doctor.

Values:

  • Build a conversation tool to facilitate doctor’s conversation with patients in a more vivid, and immersive way
  • Build a more caring and emotional environment to patients.
  • Make surgery information more friendly, acceptable and easier to understand.

Deliverable An AR/VR software solution with above features. The prioritization and exact details of the in-scope features can be discussed based on the hardware/software availability and project duration constraints.

ITI, SMU – Tracks Management System

Brief requirements: Every semester, students are required to fill in the admission forms and then email the processing officers to submit the admission forms and required documents separately. The completion of track requirements are also handled and managed manually. This leads to problems in - managing applications, tracking of requirements and slow reporting. In addition to this, the admission process is not transparent to students which results in multiple queries on track status and completion. The goal of the 'Tracks Management System' is to computerize the admission management system structure, its related operation, and functionality to rectify these weaknesses. Also, the purpose is to provide support to the administration and admission seeking candidates by providing a faster, transparent, and easy way of maintaining records and utilize them for reference and further proceedings such as alumni management and reporting analytics.

Function list: Primary Functions

  • Users: Admin, Student, Alumni
  • Applications Management
  • Students and Alumni Management
  • Non-Credit Courses Management

Secondary Functions

What we need you to solve?

Today, more than 70% of carparks are using the Electronic Parking System (EPS). EPS in a carpark can cost up to $150,000. It consists of a cashless system that uses EPS antenna to read the number of ERP In-Vehicle Unit (IU) at the entry and exit of the carpark. Kiosks are also required for drivers to top up their cash cards.

EPS faces issues such as tailgating, double charging and long queues at barriers when drivers do not maintain sufficient funds. A move to an app-based payment system based on License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology will help to reduce infrastructure cost, enhance driver experience and support Singapore’s push towards electronic payments via PayNow.

How do we co-create and have fun together?

The Project Team will have the opportunity to work on Tee International's new technologies such as its License Plate Recognition (LPR) system and e-parking kiosks. These systems are currently used live at Changi Airport and Seng Kang hospital.

The Project Team is expected to envision, design and build the Next Gen Parking System that aims to replace the current EPS. The Next Gen Parking System must integrate with the following existing technologies and the team is required to study these technologies in sufficient detail to support them with the integration.

  1. The Sponsor's License Plate Recognition System
  2. The Sponsor's Parking Payment Kiosk
  3. SGQR, Singapore's single QR code that combines multiple e-payment solutions into one. See http://www.mas.gov.sg/sgqr/index.html

The Project Team shall deploy and conduct live trials of their system at Tee Building. This will involve gathering and analysing data and getting user feedback. The Project Team should plan to have a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) deployed as soon as possible, preferably by the end of midterm.

Some pointers on what you need to do

  1. Ideate and tell the story of how the future of car parking is with the adoption and adaptation of LPR, mobile apps and payment via SGQR.
  2. Design the UI and UX of the mobile apps through wire-framing.
  3. Define and setup the technology stack of the system infrastructure which includes the edge computing machine and cloud server.
  4. Define the software architecture for both the backend and frontend.
  5. Plan and breakdown the system and software development into sprints.
  6. . Develop, document, deploy and test the system and software in each iteration.
  7. Conduct live trials at Tee Building in Singapore.
  8. All documentation and source codes to be uploaded on Github.
