Inspiration

Aligning with the values of ConocoPhillips, we felt the need to support their motive by ensuring the safety of the employee which is the uppermost responsibility. Thus, contributing to ConocoPhillips IT and making a difference.

What it does

The app lets workers (employees) to report incidents relating to an equipment. When a worker starts his day at work, he opens up the app, adds equipments to his list, and updates the status of the equipment at the end of the day. This way, the equipment's health is monitered daily with legit updates. During the day, if there happens any damage to the equipment which is dangerous to work with the, the worker creates an Incident in the app. The supervisor will be let known of this activity, and reviews the incident and updates the status of the incident. This way, all the workers would know if the equipment is safe to work with on the new day.

How we built it

The mobile app is built using react-native.

Challenges we ran into

  • Firebase being nosql database, we had to reconstruct the database that we drew. Originally it was prepared considering the sql way.
  • Relationship between the tables in the database

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Four screens with a team of 5 in less than a day could lead to many git conflicts, but we worked out with avoiding conflicts and managing the git
  • Learning react native in less than a day and designing style
  • Running the app via many different kinds of emulators (iOS, andriod, browser)
  • Communicating the desings virtually (learnt Figma and desinged the app)

What we learned

  • everything about firebase
  • that react native is fun
  • styling
  • relational tables in the DB
  • tree structure of the code
  • understanding and configuring react native libraries
  • use of Figma to design the screens

What's next for Team Hacktober Mohys

  • Build the 'supervisor flow'
  • QR code reader
  • Authentication
  • sending emails for the specific department when a incident is created
