Working with Worldline, Nexus Alpha developed an interface to the Intergrale system to obtain crew working data for CrossCountry. This interface provides automated service notification in the ARRAKIS App. When a member of staff logs into the App, the App uses the user credentials to automatically download the services the user is working on. The App would then target real-time disruption notifications based on targeted, personalised disruption information for staff.
Developing an interface with the Televic PIS via the Siemens COM@RL interface to provide real time information on board the Thameslink Siemens Class 700 trains. Nexus Alpha also developed a new UI allowing GTR to upload images, safety messages, changes to trains and station facilities, as well as TfL data ensuring customers received up-to-the-minute information.
The ARRAKIS Big Data Store provides complete flexibility, efficiency and enables us to “cherry pick” and utilise the data that is important to you. We are actively working with clients on other development projects. Details will be published as and when new services are taken live. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your needs.
All our Hardware is supplied by our sister company – Nexus Alpha LPS
ARIADNE provides a better way for the visually impaired to navigate and obtain information about the sites they are visiting. It’s a unique combination: it’s tactile, and it speaks. It might look normal (which means it works for sighted users too) but its key features are raised on the surface so they can be read by touch. And as they’re touched, speech is triggered, not just providing basic location information, but allowing for live, up to date information.
Off-grid but still very much integrated, we designed highly optimised ultra low power equipment with a single guiding principle: working off-grid should not compromise performance. Our off-grid systems are designed to stay online all day, every day, to support full audio, and not have to be woken up for use. Fitting seamlessly into the overall system – they’re just another sign, which happens not to need grid power.
All Nexus Alpha LPS displays are intelligent: they talk to our servers over secure VPN links and are always on. Whether they connect via fixed wire, mobile networks or even satellite, the result is they are always up to date. With on board memory and data management, data is sent once and stored, ensuring the displays can operate if the comms network fails. Integrated design keeps the displays running and operational at all times.
