Report Compiler

This is designed to automate the process of assembling final stress analysis reports. It navigates through multiple folders—each potentially containing various file types like PDFs, Word documents, Excel sheets, images, or analysis outputs—and intelligently collects all the relevant files. Once gathered, it processes and organizes them in the correct sequence, then merges or binds them into a single, consolidated PDF report. This eliminates the need for manual file handling, ensures consistency across submissions, and significantly reduces the time required to prepare and deliver comprehensive documentation.

Mass Transfer Column (Augmented Reality)

To spark curiosity and make learning immersive, the digital team developed an Augmented Reality (AR) application. By simply installing the app on your phone, pointing it toward the column area, a sci-fi-style robot assistant appears and follows your camera’s movement wherever you look.

This interactive bot explains how to use the app, where to click, and how to explore the content. Users can scroll through informative slides while listening to the robot’s voiceover, making complex topics easier to understand. Once the slides conclude, the app highlights point of interest directly on the physical column. Each hotspot can be tapped to play detailed audio or video explanations about the specific part or function.
