Inspiration
Our inspiration comes from 1stLt John Martin, who noticed the potential to innovate the Marine Corps' infantry logistics operations.
Usage
Our application ensures quick and accurate logistics planning for the Marine Corps. We help automate the capacity requirements and the planning/ordering stage of logistic management by calculating the resources required for a deployment.
Tools
Our front-end utilizes React and React Material. Our backend uses Redis for data storage, Tornado for our API, and NGINX for our application proxying. We use Docker for containerization, and docker-compose for container orchestration.
Challenges
- Deciding which tools would best fit our problem.
- Designing object models to accurately represent our required information .
- Time management, and allocation attention towards key features.
- Continuous code refactoring to ensure a clean, reliable, codebase.
Accomplishments
Our primary focus was on ease of use – to ‘dummy-proof’ the application to mitigate infantry logistics issues.
What we learned
- How to make a resilient, intuitive, application that can help automate some of the tedium found within logistics planning.
What's next for Marine Corps Inventory Logistics
Given further funding, we plan to add storage-level encryption and additional security, improve the user interface, and add additional features. Our future feature milestones include organized logistic history, leveraging machine learning to optimize planning, archiving, and sending important feedback at the end of a trip.
