Software Onderzoek en Ontwikkelen nieuwe app voor Octopus zaaksysteem

Tom T.S. van Marrewijk Title: Onderzoek en Ontwikkelen nieuwe app voor Octopus zaaksysteem Description:

TrueLime ontwikkelt en beheert het Octopus-softwarepakket. Een van de onderdelen van Octopus is de app genaamd Octopus Go, waarmee klanten de mogelijkheid hebben om offline aan zaken te werken. Deze app is enkele jaren geleden ontwikkeld met behulp van Angular, Electron en Capacitor, met als doel om crossplatform te kunnen draaien op desktop, Android en iOS.

Inmiddels heeft het ontwikkelteam geconcludeerd dat deze technologiestack niet geschikt is voor hun werkwijze en behoeften. Dit wordt beïnvloed door diverse factoren, waaronder kennis, budget en context. Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage heb ik in samenwerking met het Octopus-team de kern van dit probleem onderzocht en een passende oplossing bedacht.
Als onderdeel van de oplossing heb ik een prototype ontwikkeld van Octopus Go, gemaakt met .NET MAUI in combinatie met Blazor. De app bevat onder andere de volgende functionaliteiten:

- Zaken en document synchronisatie met Octopus voor offline toegang.
- Notities maken bij documenten
- PDF bestanden openen en annotatie ondersteuning
- Documenten uploaden

Infrastructure Kwetsbaarheden en de mogelijke honeytoken oplossing voor Hoppenbrouwers

Cas C.S. van Ierland Title: Kwetsbaarheden en de mogelijke honeytoken oplossing voor Hoppenbrouwers Description:

Ik heb mijn afstudeerstage mogen doen bij het bedrijf Hoppenbrouwers Techniek op de hoofd locatie in Udenhout. Hoppenbrouwers Techniek is een van de grootste Nederlandse bedrijven in de installatie techniek met inmiddels meer dan 2000 medewerkers en 22 vestigingen. Gedurende de stage heb ik voor Hoppenbrouwers Techniek de fysieke infrastructuur van de locatie Udenhout en één additionele vestiging in kaart gebracht. Verder is er een analyse gedaan van security incidenten om de kwetsbaarheden en beveiliging risico's in kaart te brengen. Hierna is er aan de hand van de uitkomsten een toekomst gerichte oplossing gezocht. Deze oplossing is een honeytoken. Een honeytoken is namelijk een oplossing waarmee inzicht gegeven kan worden in de exploitatie van de kwetsbaarheden en beveiliging risico's. Een van de eindproducten is dan ook een proof of concept van een honeytoken in Azure.

Infrastructure Security Checks

Naomi N.S.M. Kollen Title: Security Checks Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Axians, een IT-dienstverlener in Nederland gespecialiseerd in networking, unified communication, datacenters en security, heb ik gewerkt aan het project “Security Checks”. Axians biedt een uitgebreide Managed Detection and Response (MDR) dienst aan, waarbij zij klanten helpt bij het beveiligen van hun IT-omgevingen door onder andere gebruik te maken van een Security Operations Center (SOC).

Axians liep tegen het probleem aan dat er geen bestaande werkwijze was om security checks, een soort controle tests, uit te voeren op op maat gemaakte detectieregels die door security controls zoals EDR- of NDR-oplossingen binnen de MDR-dienst worden gebruikt. Dit project had als doel om een methodologie te ontwikkelen voor het uitvoeren van security checks om de werking van deze detectieregels te verifiëren en met een advies te komen die Axians kan gebruiken in de toekomst.

Software Automations

Tim T.A.H. van der Dussen Title: Automations Description:

Easyflex is een organisatie die software maakt voor de uitzendbranche in Nederland. Sinds 2006 bieden zij een “Software As A Service-oplossing” aan waarmee medewerkers van uitzendbureaus de kernprocessen van uitzenden, detacheren en payrollen uitvoeren en optimaliseren. Er zijn op dit moment meer dan 1000 uitzendbureaus die gebruik maken van Easyflex. Met behulp van dit pakket worden wekelijks 140.000 flexwerkers verloond. Dit komt neer op meer dan 125.000.000 verwerkte uren op jaarbasis. Er is een kernapplicatie waarmee alles binnen Easyflex gedaan kan worden en ook een website waarin de kernprocessen gefaciliteerd worden.

Intercedenten, de bemiddelaars tussen de werkzoekende en een bedrijf, gebruiken de software en willen dit zo efficiënt mogelijk kunnen doen. Als een intercedent elke keer een actie moet doen en daarop een andere actie moet uitvoeren is dit niet efficiënt, dit kan immers geautomatiseerd worden. Een voorbeeld hiervan is als je een flexwerker inschrijft die voor een bepaalde organisatie altijd recht heeft op pensioen. Dan schrijf je de flexwerker in en moet je altijd daarna navigeren naar de pensioeninstelling om deze aan te zetten. Easyflex wil dan ook onderzoeken of we hierbij de klant kunnen ondersteunen om dit soort bedrijfsprocessen te stroomlijnen en automatiseren.

User Interaction Increase vocabular through rich context (Game design)

Daniël D.N. Bouman Title: Increase vocabular through rich context (Game design) Description:

While fulfilling my role as graduation intern at Virtual Reality Learning Lab (VRLL), I designed and fleshed out an educational/ adventure game in virtual reality as part of the "Increasing vocabular through rich context" (pilot) project for NOLAI (National Education Lab AI).

Children (aged 4-6) start their school journeys with varying level of vocabulary knowledge, largely influenced by their differing backgrounds and experiences. This variation forms a significant challenge in early education, as vocabulary is foundational for further learning. Traditional methods (like reading stories) often assume a baseline knowledge that not all children have, making it difficult to develop their vocabulary from the start.

I aimed at delivering a VR game in which children are introduced to new words in a rich context, playfully. With speech recognition and LLM-driven conversation, I aimed to enable informal conversation between the child and a NPC, with the ultimate question being whether this (style of) VR game manages to simulate (casual) play in a believable and intuitive way.

Software Drupal voor Gemeenten monitor platform

Robbert R.A.P.M. Schalk Title: Drupal voor Gemeenten monitor platform Description:

Ik volg mijn afstudeerstage bij iO in Den Bosch. Zij kampen met een probleem omtrent hun product, Drupal voor gemeenten. Ze willen graag o.a. configuratiegegevens daarvan centraal kunnen inzien. Dit moet geautomatiseerd gesynchroniseerd worden en gemakkelijk toe te passen zijn in de Drupal-website. Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar een oplossing voor dit probleem. Mijn doel was om een schaalbaar, onderhoudbaar en uitbreidbaar systeem te ontwikkelen dat in staat is om periodiek gegevens uit een Drupal-website op te halen en weer te geven.

Ik heb dit probleem opgelost door het bouwen van een Drupal-module die geïnstalleerd kan worden in een Drupal-omgeving. Deze synchroniseert vervolgens de gegevens naar een Drupal-dashboard dat ik heb gebouwd. Na het installeren van de module zal deze automatisch zichzelf verder installeren en contact zoeken met het dashboard. Dit is zo ontworpen dat er minimale inspanning nodig is voor het gebruik van de tool, wat de onderhoudbaarheid ten goede komt.

User Interaction Specto auditing

Daan D.W. Kleinen Title: Specto auditing Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Mediatastisch lag mijn focus op het verbeteren van de SaaS-applicatie van dochteronderneming Specto-auditing. Mijn opdracht was het ontwikkelen van de templating functionaliteit en het herontwerpen van de rapportagefunctionaliteit.
Voor het ontwikkelen van de template functionaliteit heb ik best practices en verschillende packes onderzocht om de meest geschikte oplossing te vinden. Dit omvatte ook het afwegen van de voor- en nadelen van elke optie, rekening houdend met de complexiteit van het project en de vereisten van de gebruiker.
Bij het herontwerpen van de rapportagefunctionaliteit heb ik mij specifiek gericht op data visualisatie. Mijn doel was om een effectieve manier te vinden om gegevens te presenteren en een helder verhaal van de resultaten over te brengen met behulp van visuele elementen. Dit omvatte het onderzoeken van verschillende datamogelijkheden en diverse methoden en technieken om de informatie op een duidelijke en overtuigende wijze aan de gebruiker te communiceren.
Door deze onderzoeken en het toepassen van mijn kennis en vaardigheden op het gebied van frontend development en UX-design, heb ik ik waardevolle verbeteringen kunnen aanbrengen in de Specto-auditing applicatie, die uiteindelijk de gebruikerservaring verrijkten en de functionaliteit optimaliseerden.

Organisational Processes Automatisering van de administratieve handelingen binnen de employee journey

Joyce J. Diepstraten Title: Automatisering van de administratieve handelingen binnen de employee journey Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij GAC Business Solutions, heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar automatiseringsoplossingen binnen de employee journey administratie. Hierbij is de focus gelegd op het automatiseren van het budgetteringsproces en wordt er een advies gegeven voor het verzekeren van de uitvoering van administratie taken.
In de huidige situatie is bekend geworden dat er vraag is naar een verlaging van foutgevoeligheid, tijdintensiviteit en persoonsafhankelijke handmatige taken. Ook is er vraag naar een controle systeem om de uitvoering van taken te verzekeren.
Om de employee journey administratie proces te verbeteren worden er 2 implementatie producten geadviseerd:
- Het gewenste proces voor de employee journey administratie omvat de implementatie van een controlesysteem voor gestructureerde takenafhandeling door Microsoft CRM customer service. Dit omvat het gebruik van een Microsoft personeelsmutatie formulier dat na een personele mutatie trigger wordt aangemaakt door IT. Taken worden vervolgens afgehandeld en toegewezen via CRM, wat zorgt voor een foutloze, gestructureerde en inzichtelijke procesgang.
- Ook bevat het gewenste proces een geautomatiseerd budgetteringsapplicatie door een Model-driven Power App te implementeren en te integreren binnen de CE oplossing van GAC. Deze applicatie is gebouwd op basis van de PSA365 oplossing van GAC die als databron dient en aanvullende informatie en automatische berekening die in de applicatie zelf terugkomen.
Deze implementatie producten zorgen voor een verbetering van de proceservaring voor medewerkers en zorgen voor een efficiënt, betrouwbaar en transparant administratie proces tijdens de employee journey.
Voor de afstudeerstage wordt het controlesysteem en de werking ervan als implementatie advies meegegeven en wordt er een prototype opgeleverd van de budgetteringsapplicatie.

Hardware Interfacing Modificatie productielijn Frumarco

Martijn M.A.J.M. Gillis Title: Modificatie productielijn Frumarco Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Hoppenbrouwers Techniek voer ik een project uit voor Frumarco, een stroopfabriek in Limburg. In deze fabriek zijn de Mengrij en de Inpaklijn, beide aangestuurd door afzonderlijke PLC's, cruciale onderdelen van het productieproces. Momenteel gebruiken deze systemen een verouderde Access-database voor gegevensuitwisseling via SQL4Automation, die beperkingen vertoont zoals beperkte toegang voor één gebruiker tegelijk, gebrek aan controle over wijzigingen, en het ontbreken van recente beveiligingsupdates.

De opdracht richt zich op het ontwikkelen van een modern receptenbeheersysteem ter vervanging van deze verouderde database. Dit omvat het onderzoeken van de wensen en eisen van zowel Frumarco als Hoppenbrouwers Techniek, en het analyseren van de huidige situatie om de knelpunten en functionaliteiten van de huidige Access-database in kaart te brengen. Verder worden de software-integraties en de functionaliteit van beide productielijnen onderzocht, evenals de gebruikte PLC's.

Het doel is om een gedetailleerd plan te formuleren voor het herschrijven van de PLC-programma's en het ontwerpen van een nieuw receptenbeheersysteem. Hierbij wordt gekeken naar welke functionaliteiten uit Ignition bruikbaar zijn voor het nieuwe systeem, welke bestaande functionaliteiten behouden moeten blijven, en welke nieuwe functionaliteiten toegevoegd moeten worden.

Daarnaast omvat de opdracht het opstellen van een strategie voor efficiënt testen en in bedrijf stellen van het nieuwe systeem, met als doel minimale stilstandtijd en risico's voor Frumarco.

Hardware Interfacing A new robot controller for Cooperative Robotic Arms

Giel G.R.H.M. Willemsen Title: A new robot controller for Cooperative Robotic Arms Description:

During my internship at Sioux Technologies I designed and realized a new driver for a robot arm. It is a continuation of a previous internship, where other interns are working on different parts of the project. The project’s goal is to have two individual arms work together to pick up a chicken egg by clamping the robot arms on it whilst not breaking the egg due to pressure.
The previous version of the driver did not reach the goals set and needed improvement in accuracy and precision. The new driver integrates with a new and improved algorithm to plan the path that the arm is taking, which makes use of the position feedback from the robot arm. This algorithm is running at a much higher frequency, placing increased performance requirements on the driver. The new driver replaces both the hardware and software component to gain maximum control over interfacing with the robot to improve the performance of the system.

Hardware Interfacing Collaborative navigation for swarm bots

Paul P. Jans Title: Collaborative navigation for swarm bots Description:

The Sioux swarm bots project is designed to captivate event attendees by showcasing a group of small robots operating collaboratively in a small demonstration at commercial or recruitment events. These robots autonomously perform tasks such as forming patterns or working together to push heavy objects around. The visually appealing demonstration not only highlights Sioux's expertise in robotics and autonomous systems but also serves as a memorable and immersive experience, fostering meaningful conversations and potential collaborations at events.

Previously the setup was reliant on a camera to determine each robot’s position, this complicates the process of setting up the demonstration at each event. To streamline this, Sioux aims to redesign the swarm bots from the ground up, using previously gathered knowledge to improve the design. The new swarm bot hardware requires the development of a new software stack, focusing on autonomous control of movement and seamless communication among the swarm bots.

Infrastructure Een Onderzoek Naar Streaming Telemetry Voor Juniper Hardware

Niek N.P. Fernhout Title: Een Onderzoek Naar Streaming Telemetry Voor Juniper Hardware Description:

Streaming Telemetry vertegenwoordigt een innovatieve benadering van monitoring, met als doel het vervangen van de traditionele SNMP-methode. De aanleiding voor dit onderzoek komt vanuit een probleem binnen mijn stage bedrijf, waar de huidige monitoring niet accuraat genoeg is doordat het gebruik maakt van vaste meetmomenten met intervallen om data op te halen. Streaming Telemetry zou dit kunnen verbeteren doordat het continu data streamt in plaats van te vertrouwen op vaste tijdsintervallen.
Tijdens mijn onderzoek heb ik kennis opgedaan over wat Streaming Telemetry inhoudt en hoe het functioneert. Daarnaast heb ik een proof of concept gemaakt, specifiek gericht op Juniper hardware, om de volwassenheid van de implementatie te beoordelen en om de effectiviteit ervan te vergelijken met SNMP. Mijn bevindingen zullen vervolgens worden samengebracht in een adviesrapport. Hier komen onder anderen de voor en nadelen van Streaming Telemetry in te staan, vergeleken met SNMP. Of de techniek de moeite waard is om geïmplementeerd te worden. Ook een aantal onderdelen waar rekening mee gehouden moet worden, mocht de techniek geïmplementeerd willen worden in de productie omgeving.

Software Validatieplatform Autonoom Transport - Gedragsherkenning Simulator

Bas B.C. Klein Title: Validatieplatform Autonoom Transport - Gedragsherkenning Simulator Description:

Een steeds groter aandeel voertuigen op het Nederlandse wegnetwerk heeft rij ondersteunende functies. Waar 10 jaar geleden nog gedacht werd dat zelfrijdende voertuigen iets van de verre toekomst was, begint deze toekomst steeds meer werkelijkheid te worden. Dit brengt de volgende uitdaging met zich mee: “Wanneer zijn autonome voertuigen goed genoeg om zonder bestuurder te rijden en hoe kan de maatschappij hierop vertrouwen?” Hierin biedt het digitale validatieplatform van Sogeti een oplossing voor het ondersteunen van deze bepaling. Waar op dit moment honderdduizenden kilometers op de weg nodig zijn om de software van het voertuig te valideren, kan dit via een digitale simulatie veel efficiënter en doeltreffender.
Het Validatieplatform is al 2 jaar in ontwikkeling, maar staat nog in de kinderschoenen gezien de grote omvang en complexiteit. Door onder andere verschillende stagiairs, wordt gewerkt aan uitbreiding van het platform, door het toevoegen van nieuwe functionaliteiten en services.

De beknopte werking van het platform:
1: Op basis van Wet- & Regelgeving worden testcases genereerd, bestaande uit de Situatie (‘wereld’ waarin de testcase wordt uitgevoerd), Opdracht (die het te testen voertuig moet uitvoeren) en Verwacht gedrag (naar aanleiding van de opdracht).
2: Het autonome voertuig krijgt in de simulator een opdracht, zoals, rij van A naar B.
3: De acties/data van het voertuig wordt tijdens de simulatie verzameld.
4: Op basis van de acties/data, wordt het gedrag van het voertuig bepaald. Wat heeft het voertuig exact heeft gedaan, zodat dat vergeleken kan worden met het verwachte gedrag (zie 1.)
5: Uit de vergelijking verwacht en geconstateerd gedrag wordt bepaald of een autonoom voertuig correct gehandeld heeft.

Het validatieplatform ondersteunt een aantal verkeerssituaties, zoals het oversteken van kruisingen met maximaal 1 ander voertuig en snelheden. Ter uitbreiding hierop, heb ik de functionaliteit voor het valideren van inhaalacties toegevoegd. Omdat hierbij meerdere banen en meerdere andere voertuigen betrokken zijn, heb ik significante uitbreidingen gemaakt op de huidige wijze van gedragsbepaling.

Organisational Processes Low-code proof of concept om risico's in projectuitvoering te reduceren

Freek F. Cremers Title: Low-code proof of concept om risico's in projectuitvoering te reduceren Description:

YOUR Productions, gespecialiseerd in horecamanagement bij grote evenementen, stond voor de uitdaging om risico's in hun projectmanagement te verminderen. Om deze risico's effectief te beheren, was er behoefte aan een centraal projectmonitoringssysteem met real-time updates.
Er is behoefte aan een systeem dat centrale vastlegging, real-time statusupdates en schaalbaarheid biedt. Na evaluatie van verschillende low-code platformen werd het Microsoft Power Platform als meest geschikt beoordeeld, vanwege de bestaande Microsoft-licentie, uitgebreide ondersteuning en de vele beschikbare connectoren.
Een proof of concept (PoC) werd ontwikkeld in drie fasen: ontwerp, ontwikkeling en evaluatie. Het ontwerp werd gerealiseerd met Visual Paradigm en de tool werd gebouwd op het Microsoft Power Platform. Belangrijke functionaliteiten zijn projectoverzichten, automatische statusberekeningen en gebruiksvriendelijke schermen voor projectbeheer.
Voor de verdere ontwikkeling van de PoC wordt een hybride ontwikkelingsstrategie voorgesteld. Deze strategie omvat samenwerking met studenten van Fontys OVP, Nederlandse freelancers en outsourcing naar lagelonenlanden. Door deze aanpak kan YOUR Productions kosten beheren en toegang krijgen tot een breed scala aan talent en expertise. Deze stappen markeren een belangrijke vooruitgang waarbij risico's beter beheerd kunnen worden en projectmanagers altijd over de meest actuele informatie beschikken.

Software Improving connectivity and stability when updating Picoo devices

Sabrina S.A. van Dinteren Title: Improving connectivity and stability when updating Picoo devices Description:

The Picoo game console is a line of products released to enable children to engage in group gaming activities in larger spaces or the outdoors, using bluetooth technologies for ease of use.

The primary objective of Picoo is to encourage outdoor physical exercise and promote social and cognitive development through their active games.

With the primary end-users being the children who play the games, they comprise of the key stakeholders. Hence, a lot of importance is placed on the design of the applications' user interface and user experience. Naturally, teachers play a significant role as end-users, as they are responsible for device maintenance, updates, and guiding children in their usage.

At present, the product has been launched and is in the hands of customers. Over time, Picoo releases new games and software updates, which customers can access through a downloadable app. However, there have been challenges with updating the game consoles via Bluetooth.

Specifically, on Android devices, there have been frequent connection issues and a sluggish data stream when attempting to update multiple devices simultaneously. My role is to analyse and diagnose these issues within the Bluetooth remote updating workflow, with the aim of improving stability and enhancing the end-user experience.

Organisational Processes Dashboard insights: Measure the adherence to the Develop/Sustain Data Product Process

Stanislav S.N. Tolev Title: Dashboard insights: Measure the adherence to the Develop/Sustain Data Product Process Description:

My graduation internship took place at Vanderlande Industries, specifically in the Central Data & Analytics Organization. The project was to create a monitoring system to measure the adherence to the Develop/Sustain Data Product Process. The process concerns the development steps of how the developers build data products for other domains in the organization(Supply, Sales, etc...) or internally for the department. The proof of concept provides data-driven insights of what is the compliance rate of the process. In other words, is the development process followed correctly or not? This was achieved, by creating a Power BI dashboard using Azure DevOps Boards data. Moreover, a data pipeline(in Databricks) might have to be created to automate the extraction of the data. Further information, about the process, the project, the research and the proof of concept can be seen in the final presentation.

Organisational Processes Citric Labs | Greenroom - AI powered Social Listening and Data Visualisation for the Music Industry

Luc L.H. Jonkers Title: Citric Labs | Greenroom - AI powered Social Listening and Data Visualisation for the Music Industry Description:

During my Graduation Internship I worked on researching, analysing and developing new decision making processes for the Music Industry by creating unique data visualisations that provide actionable insights with a focus on storytelling and communicating highly technical insights/analytics to non technical managers and executives.

The output of my Internship operates within the context of Greenroom, an AI powered social listening service for Musical Artists, Managers and Labels being developed by Citric Labs a startup I am the CEO and co-founder of.

At the start of my graduation, Greenroom had simple traditional data visualisations consisting of community emotion, sentiment and volume. My goal was to transform the product into an intuitive checkpoint for music industry professionals during the decision making process. This involved researching, pitching and interviewing key players within the industry at an executive level to understand industry pain points and improve Greenroom appropriately.

Greenroom is being developed in partnership with Push Entertainment and 2 pilot artists from a major record label.

Software Fangage Offline Dashboard

Joshua J.M. dos Santos Oliveira Mota Title: Fangage Offline Dashboard Description:

Sorama B.V., located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, specializes in addressing sound-related challenges within product development. The company is at the forefront of developing innovative sound measurement systems that facilitate the visualization, analysis, and management of diverse sounds, noises, and sound waves. Its solutions are strategically designed to identify sources of noise, localize aggressive events, and enhance the functionality of various technologies.

Sorama B.V. has recently been operating within the Philips Stadium, home to the PSV football club in Eindhoven. The Fangage dashboard serves the singular purpose of enhancing fan engagement during matches. However, the information generated by the dashboard holds broader utility for the football club. This was only during the matches.

While the current dashboard effectively displays the decibel levels produced in various sections of the stadium, the objective was to develop an application with a watch replay function where the user could watch replays of matches. These replays would be shown with a stadium like the main dashboard but would be added with a timeline showing the events that happened during the match, like goals, cards, and substitutions.

Software Digitalisering van Urenrapportage van Consultants

Thomas T.R.A. Van der Molen Title: Digitalisering van Urenrapportage van Consultants Description:

Info Support is een IT-consultancybedrijf met meer dan 500 medewerkers. De gewerkte uren van deze consultants worden gefactureerd aan de klant. Echter, de klant wil eerst een rapportage van deze uren goedkeuren voordat er een factuur wordt opgesteld.

Dit goedkeuringsproces omvat veel tussenstappen: het exporteren van de uren uit het registratiesysteem, het omzetten naar een PDF, ondertekenen, doorsturen naar de klant, wachten op de ondertekende versie van de klant, en uiteindelijk het doorsturen van de uren naar de financiële afdeling van Info Support om een factuur te maken. Dit proces is tijdrovend en frustrerend, vooral omdat het elke maand door iedere consultant moet worden uitgevoerd. Laat staan als een rapportage niet wordt geaccepteerd, dan zal het hele proces herhaald moeten worden.

Door dit proces te digitaliseren kan het worden gecentraliseerd, gestandaardiseerd en versimpeld door alle onnodige stappen te automatiseren. Dit bespaart tijd en vermindert frustratie, waardoor consultants meer tijd hebben voor hun kernactiviteiten en de klanttevredenheid verbetert.

Organisational Processes Data Vigilance: Advancing Integrity Assurance and Automated Excellence

Ramy R.F.A. Al-Ashabi Title: Data Vigilance: Advancing Integrity Assurance and Automated Excellence Description:

The project's primary focus lies in maintaining data integrity through adherence to established standards like ISO 8000 and DMBOK. Rigorous adherence to these standards ensures the reliability of our data. However, we face the significant challenge of human error during manual data entry, which can introduce inconsistencies and inaccuracies. To address this, we're developing a dashboard to visually represent data errors, enabling swift identification and rectification. This proactive approach complements our efforts to establish clear rules for data cleanliness during the ETL process. Without these rules, data can become messy and riddled with errors, jeopardizing decision-making processes. By implementing stringent quality control measures and thorough testing procedures, we aim to bolster the reliability and trustworthiness of our data. Ultimately, these initiatives not only support informed decision-making but also enhance project credibility and mitigate risks associated with data integrity issues, laying a robust foundation for effective data management and successful project outcomes.

User Interaction Designing & developing a new B2C store for Masita

Luc L. Swinkels Title: Designing & developing a new B2C store for Masita Description:

Masita, a leading Dutch sportswear brand, needed a new webshop to serve as an online storefront to consumers. Their previous online store was filled with technical issues and design flaws, eventually leading to it being taken down.

My assignment was to bring back this online store, using my own designs validated by research and testing, and then developing the store with proper, modern technologies that could withstand the test of time to make sure future technical issues can be easily resolved.

My internship company, Moonly Software, has been wanting to explore possibilities of developing online stores with certain technologies that are less dependant on platforms and plugins, so that they can be reused for future projects as a sort of template. This means that I had to keep future-proof high-quality code, modern technologies, and a proper code structure in mind, as my assignment would (likely) later be used for these future projects.

Software Automated testing

Lucas L.J. Bogaard Title: Automated testing Description:

Tijdens mijn stage bij Xaurum heb ik onderzocht hoe geautomatiseerde testen ingezet kunnen worden om de softwarekwaliteit te verbeteren. Xaurum is hierbij met name geïnteresseerd in integratietesten. Aangezien Xaurum haar PE-Online applicatie aan het ombouwen is naar een API, is de optie om geautomatiseerd te gaan testen relevant geworden. Echter is er bij Xaurum momenteel niet voldoende kennis in huis om deze testen op te zetten. Het doel van deze opdracht is daarom om Xaurum de benodigde handvatten en kennis te geven om zelf geautomatiseerde integratietesten op te zetten.

Als eerste heb ik onderzocht welke verschillende soorten testen er zijn en of integratietesten daadwerkelijk een goede oplossing bieden. Daarnaast heb ik bekeken wat er nodig is om een integratietest uit te voeren. Enkele voorbeelden hiervan zijn het genereren van een token, het aanleveren van correcte testdata en het mocken van verschillende onderdelen uit de code. Vervolgens heb ik onderzocht hoe de testen geautomatiseerd uitgevoerd kunnen worden met behulp van DevOps. Tot slot heb ik een geschikte plek binnen het ontwikkelproces gezocht om de testen uit te voeren.

Deze bevindingen zijn verwerkt in een procedure waarmee Xaurum in de toekomst zelfstandig aan de slag kan gaan met geautomatiseerde integratietesten.

Software SEO metadata generation in AEM using AI

Teun T. Buis Title: SEO metadata generation in AEM using AI Description:

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a Content Management System (CMS) platform that allows users to build their own website without technical knowledge. However, most users do not know about Search Engine Optimization(SEO) metadata and how important it is for the discoverability of their website. For my Internship I have worked on creating a Proof Of Concept that integrates an AI language model into AEM. Using this integration users can easily have SEO data generated in AEM for their website or components by pressing a button.
Data like keywords/keyphrases and pictures from the user's website are collected and used as context for the AI language model to create a meta-description or alt-text. This should ease the work for the user, and boost the website's discoverability.

Software ReSoTo LEMMA Transformation Tool

Nikita N.V. Kurilovich Title: ReSoTo LEMMA Transformation Tool Description:

The idea for the project originates from a severe amount of software projects/platforms being developed within Fontys ICT InnovationLab. Some of the projects take extensive amounts of time to get at the very least to a POC or initial working prototype. That’s what the initial research of a group of Master's students was focused on. After conducting several interviews on relevant projects such as DigiReal, Samen aan Z, Van sensoren naar zorg, Grip op geluid and etc., as well as further concluding document analysis, brainstorming sessions, best good and bad practices, and prototyping the team came up with initial IT architecture influencing further steps for the system to be developed.

The next step was decided to be LEMMA.
LEMMA is an ecosystem of modeling languages and model processing facilities for MSA following Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) – with architectural pattern support to enable correct-by-construction microservices via pattern conformance checking and pattern-conform code generation. LEMMA is a very fresh and still not widely applied software framework for the Java programming language.
It provides a neat approach to the enforced use of documentation or predefined setup data/information for creating declarative scripts to be used for MSA platform code generation. Such functionality will help to remove all of the issues usually being faced during the software platform development cycle such as extensive research prior to prototyping and complications of transferring non-technical stakeholders’ ideas into actual solutions.

All of the above-mentioned context and background was initially used as the foundation for my project. The project itself is based on creating a web form application that provides the possibility for the transformation of user input to declarative scripts being designed in a way that enables researchers to generate LEMMA declarative scripts with an automated system reducing the amount of technical involvement in the generation of such scripts.

Software A Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback framework for enabling robust multirotor autonomy in natural environments

S.P.R. Elferink Title: A Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback framework for enabling robust multirotor autonomy in natural environments Description:

Master Applied IT
We propose an autonomy framework for enabling safe and robust autonomous flight in multirotors based on the End-2-End principle. Our work uses a unique multi-modal transformer-based architecture to capture the temporal nature of drone flight into a single model. We define drone autonomy as a pure path planning problem abstracting low level flight controls from our architecture. We use Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) to train our model in order to safely avoid obstacles in simulation. Our framework adds a fine-tuning step which uses Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) to fine-tune the base policy on human preference. This unique fine-tuning step allows us to distill the experience of human multirotor pilots into our policy to make our policy more reliable and safe in the real world compared to related work.

Software Researching the possible implementation of gRPC within BDO.

Jordy A.J.W. Rutjens Title: Researching the possible implementation of gRPC within BDO. Description:

Currently BDO uses mostly REST for their C# applications. For this reason, the project was started to create a better understanding of the alternatives. This is due to the fact that the company wants to stay innovative.

I have researched and created a proof of concept regarding gRPC. This meant that I had to research the negatives and positives of gRPC, and also compare it to other relevant frameworks. Comparing these was very important to BDO, as they wanted to explore the possibility of using this framework within the company.

The proof-of-concept implementation was built to evaluate its usefulness and the research done. It covers a lot of aspects but focuses on the needs of the developers within BDO. Important research topics were the performance, security, filtering and the use of dynamic bodies for gRPC.

Software Moonly Planning

Sem S. Kivits Title: Moonly Planning Description:

Moonly heeft jaren geleden een applicatie ontwikkeld waarmee je een planning kan maken voor grote evenementen zoals een festival. Deze applicatie heet Crewtool. De app wordt nog steeds gebruikt door een aantal bedrijven, maar niet meer verkocht aan nieuwe klanten. De app is namelijk lastig uit te breiden en onderhoudbaar. Aan mij werd gevraagd om de app op zo'n manier te ontwikkelen dat deze makkelijk en snel uit te breiden is, zonder daarbij aparte instanties van de app te hosten. Deze nieuwe versie van Crewtool noemen we Moonly Planning.

De klanten die nu gebruik maken van Crewtool hebben allemaal hun eigen versie van de applicatie. Dit komt doordat wij als Moonly graag willen voldoen aan de eisen die een klant kan stellen aan Crewtool. Klanten willen soms extra features, of andere benamingen qua data of functionaliteit. Dit leidt tot het probleem en de opdracht die aan mij is toegewezen.

Ik los dit probleem op door verschillende ontwerp patronen toe te passen waarmee je functionaliteiten binnen je applicatie kunt aanpassen en uitbreiden. Dit noem ik een module. Deze modules kun je makkelijk programmeren en toevoegen aan de applicatie. Vervolgens geef je aan welke klanten bepaalde modules wel of niet mogen gebruiken. Zo krijgt iedereen zijn eigen versie van de applicatie en staat al de code wel centraal in één project.

Hardware Interfacing OPC Foundation standaarden

Max M.W.J. van de Rijt Title: OPC Foundation standaarden Description:

Tijdens mijn stage heb ik onderzocht wat de OPC Foundation-standaarden zijn en wat deze precies inhouden. Binnen de industriële automatisering wordt vaak verbinding gemaakt met een PLC via OPC UA, wat een goed beveiligde manier van communicatie is tussen verschillende apparaten en/of systemen binnen een bedrijf. De OPC Foundation beheert verschillende OPC-standaarden die worden gebruikt bij machines, zoals in mijn geval een extruder die PVC-buizen produceert. Deze standaarden zijn veelvoorkomend in de industriële branche en vormen daarom een cruciaal onderwerp voor bedrijven in deze sector. Met behulp van SCADA/MES-software genaamd Ignition, heb ik de data van een PLC die gebruik maakt van deze standaard kunnen uitlezen. Met deze data heb ik vervolgens een proof of concept gemaakt waarin de data uit de PLC wordt gebruikt voor het visualiseren van de extruder.

Software Creating a viable roguelike gamemode for a fast-paced, first-person shooter game

Pepijn P.R. Geerlinks Title: Creating a viable roguelike gamemode for a fast-paced, first-person shooter game Description:

During my graduation internship at Gatling Gecko, I researched and realized a way to turn Gatling Gecko’s first game “Catalyst” from a level-based structure into a roguelike. This project was relevant for the company to explore how Catalyst can shine in a roguelike context leading to a smaller project scope for the game as well as providing more replay value to players. This involved research into how to make such a game viable while maintaining the original vision and design pillars for the initial level-based version of the game. In addition, the prototypes I realized will be used and/or adapted in the public release of Catalyst once the rest of the game is ready.
As one of the three founders of Gatling Gecko, this graduation internship has challenged me in various ways regarding both company management and charting the course of our first release.

Software Conversational Search – Search Like a Conversation

Rik H. den Breejen Title: Conversational Search – Search Like a Conversation Description:

During my graduation internship at Iquality, I created a conversational search system. This system lets users talk to a website as if they were talking to a person. Together they refine the search into what the user is looking for. The system does this by asking follow-up questions. searches making searches easier and more interactive.

Iquality has made a conversational search system before, but its capabilities were limited. My project improves on this by using AI, specifically a large language model (LLM), which can generate human-like responses on the fly.

I developed a frontend React library and a backend. Integrators can use the frontend library to connect to the backend. The backend that handles the conversations and generates responses based on what the user says. The key feature is the use of an existing LLM to understand user queries and decide what to search for.

Organisational Processes Optimalisatie van PowerApps-applicaties bij Split~Vision en Ontwikkeling van een Gestructureerde Aanpak voor Toekomstig Softwareonderzoek

Sharina S.J.M. Beaumont Title: Optimalisatie van PowerApps-applicaties bij Split~Vision en Ontwikkeling van een Gestructureerde Aanpak voor Toekomstig Softwareonderzoek Description:

Binnen dit project is onderzoek gedaan naar de huidige stand van zaken met betrekking tot het ontwikkel- en beheerproces binnen Split~Vision, met specifieke focus op de ontwikkeling van PowerApps. Er is geen gestructureerd ontwikkel- of beheerproces toegepast binnen PowerApps, hoewel deze processen wel volledig beschreven zijn binnen Split~Vision. Dit heeft geleid tot aanzienlijke problemen met PowerApps, waardoor ze niet goed functioneren. Bijvoorbeeld, voor een urenregistratie app zijn er vijf verschillende apps gemaakt, geen van allen voldoet aan de verwachtingen, wat resulteert in een chaotische situatie.

De gewenste situatie is meer structuur in het ontwikkel- en beheerproces binnen Split~Vision. Azure DevOps wordt momenteel gebruikt voor taakverdeling en projectbeheer, maar er is behoefte aan meer structuur, zodat alle medewerkers duidelijkheid hebben over hun taken. Daarnaast is er een verzoek voor een nieuwe urenregistratie module binnen Split~Vision. De opdracht is nu om volgens het geoptimaliseerde proces binnen Azure DevOps een urenregistratie module te ontwerpen en ontwikkelen, zodat het geoptimaliseerde proces gevalideerd kan worden met een prototype.

Infrastructure Data anonymization

Ahmed A.S.A. Alharthy Title: Data anonymization Description:

In our current age of rapid technological advancements, data has become more sensitive and personal, and is now stored and owned by numerous companies to which we subscribe to, anything from social media to telecommunication companies. Although having personal information scattered globally has its downsides, it also brings significant benefits. For instance, medical centers can use patient data to identify patterns in various forms of cancer and diseases, potentially leading to cures. This raises the ethical and practical question of how institutions, whether medical or research-based, can access this data for analysis without infringing on an individual's privacy. This is where data anonymization plays a crucial role.

Here is how my graduation internship at Fontys ICT, Digital Transformation Research Team, began. My task was to research techniques, methods, and tools for data anonymization, ensuring compliance with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). Additionally, I was responsible for creating a process guide on GDPR compliance for data anonymization and a practical integration plan for various business environments.

To simulate and implement a functional system, I have collaborated with DAF to tackle this issue, allowing me to work on real-data, giving further value and practicality to my research. DAF has a hefty truck data bank, which I am working to anonymize using different techniques/methods. This will enable DAF to share the information with third parties while safeguarding the truck drivers' personal information. The anonymizing process will also be shared in my project while also maintaining the privacy of the provided data.

User Interaction Therapeut matching website

Evaluna E.L. van Dongen Title: Therapeut matching website Description:

Tijdens mijn stage ben ik bezig met het concepting en designen van een website die dient als een verbindingsplatform tussen consumenten en therapeuten. Het doel van deze website is om voor een match tussen consumenten en therapeuten te zorgen en om de drempel naar therapeutische hulp te verlagen. Voor therapeuten biedt deze website een waardevolle kans om zichzelf op de markt te presenteren en zo meer cliënten aan te trekken, met wie zij een betekenisvolle band kunnen opbouwen.

Dit wordt gedaan via een vragenlijst waarmee de individuele behoeften en voorkeuren van de gebruiker worden vastgesteld. Op basis van deze informatie wordt vervolgens een overzicht aan therapeuten getoond, die het beste passen bij de voorkeuren van de gebruiker. Naast het matchen op basis van persoonlijke voorkeuren, heeft de website een uitgebreid register aan therapeuten. Hier kunnen gebruikers op hun eigen tempo doorheen bladeren en filteren op verschillende criteria, zoals specialisatie, locatie en specifieke kenmerken van de therapeut. Dit geeft de consument de vrijheid om diverse profielen van therapeuten te verkennen, een eerste indruk te krijgen en gemakkelijk een eerste afspraak in te plannen.

During my internship at GAC in Oirschot, I have worked on automating and improving their communication to customers. GAC is an IT company that earns most of their money by the hours that their consultants work. Sadly, customers were often blind to the hours that they would receive on their invoice at the end of the month. This lack of communication would result in lots of credit invoice requests. Watch how automation of reports through the use of Microsoft Power Platform tools like PowerBI and Power Automate has made the worked hours from GAC much more transparent.

Hardware Interfacing Industrie 4.0: Digitaliseren machines met gebruik van AAS

Jip J. Kivits Title: Industrie 4.0: Digitaliseren machines met gebruik van AAS Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage heb ik gewerkt aan het digitaliseren van een machine van de verspaning afdeling van VDL Industrial Modules. Hierbij heb ik de Asset Administration Shell (AAS) gebruikt om een gestandaardiseerd en uitbreidbare manier te maken om digitale tweelingen te maken van fysieke machines. De AAS is een digitale representatie van een asset (verspaning machine). Hierin staat alle informatie van de asset, zoals naamplaat, uitgever, sensoren en ook welke data beschikbaar is. Het idee is dat alle actuele data van de machine, zoals temperatuur, storing in de machine, tijd actief, in de AAS komt te staan, zodat de data gebruikt kan worden door externe applicaties. Om de AAS/machine te visualiseren, is er een dashboard gemaakt die de actuele data haalt uit de AAS van de machine. Als uitbreiding van het dashboard wordt er ook data van het ERP-systeem van VDL toegevoegd, zoals order en alle informatie van de orders. Dit maakt mogelijk om de processen van de machine te koppelen aan specifieke orders en zo real-time plannen mogelijk te maken.

Het uiteindelijke doel van de opdracht is om efficiëntie en real-time planning te bevorderen, doormiddel van een overzicht (dashboard) dat alle data en activiteiten van de machines bijhoudt. Als er in één oog opslag geobserveerd kan worden waar de machines mee bezig zijn en, nog belangrijker, wat er fout gaat, kunnen er makkelijk verbeterpunten gedetecteerd worden.

MasterMinds, part of MindLabs in collaboration with Fontys Lectorate Interaction Design, has launched the project called: Avatar Project. This project focuses on creating a chatbot for primary school children aged 10 - 12 years old who have difficulty expressing their emotions and assisting primary school teachers in identifying the pupils emotional state based on an emotional check-in.

The sub-project of the Avatar Project that I have been working on for my graduation is to design and develop game elements with the goal of motivating children to talk about their emotions. In addition, it also involved designing and developing the interface of the chatbot and the virtual avatar. All these aspects are combined in a technical prototype.

Software Appsemble: App companion containers

Ivan I.G. Koitchev Title: Appsemble: App companion containers Description:

Appsemble is an open-source low-code platform, which aims to simplify the creation of web apps. This is done by providing numerous predefined pieces of logic, which can be configured and used together in various ways. The main element of such an app is a block, and similar to Lego blocks, where the analogy comes from, they can be combined as the user wishes, so that the desired end-product can be created.

To increase flexibility even further, it allows users to define custom functionality through several different mechanisms. Although this increases complexity and requires some programing knowledge at times, this allows Appsemble apps to cover all the needs of the user.

My assignment revolves around enabling the user to connect their Appsemble app to external services, which can be used to provide specific functionality for the needs of any app.

Software Information platform for the Public Address Team at Bosch

Alexandra A.D. Ioan Title: Information platform for the Public Address Team at Bosch Description:

My internship at Bosch was focused on delivering an interactive knowledge kiosk application that will be displayed in a common area for the Public Address team to use. The main goal of this was to facilitate in the sharing of information between the organizational team and the rest of the employees as well as to try to spark more conversations and interactions between colleagues. The target for the application is to display various information such as announcements, roadmaps, task lists, sales and project related information, with the possibility of adding more features along the way such as a way of checking who is in the office. The main challenges of this internship are the hardware add-ons that need to be implemented( a card scanner that will read the badge of the employees in order to gain access to more private information, the hosting and migration of the application on a private sever) as well as the UX/UI aspect of it since the application needs to be eye catching, easy to use for both technical and non technical people, as well as ensuring it functions properly on a large touchscreen (where the application will be displayed in the end).

Software AI in Customer Service

Kevin Geertjens K. Geertjens Title: AI in Customer Service Description:

This project consisted of researching opportunities to apply AI in the customer service processes of UnitedConsumers, and then setting up a Proof-of-Concept to demonstrate the feasibilityand value of AI for UnitedConsumers. In the end, we have applied Large Language Models for generating answers to customer emails, as well as summarizing email threads, and we have also used Transformer models to sort emails into different categories. The end result is a Proof-of-Concept that demonstrates that the use of AI is viable for UnitedConsumers, as the models save time by automating processes, and have a high accuracy. Next steps would consist of polishing this into a production system, ensuring that the models can scale well and adding additional monitoring to increase maintainability, for example.

The initial phase consisted of an ideation research to analyze the workflow of customer service employees in order to identify areas of improvement where AI could be applied. Afterwards the project moved more towards technical research and realization, first setting up model prototypes to quickly try the ideas we had brainstormed, and lastly integrating these models into the existing ICT systems to run tests with the end users.

Software Real-time dashboard for conversational AI cloud

Monika M. Kerulyte Title: Real-time dashboard for conversational AI cloud Description:

During my graduation internship at CM.com, I realised a Real-time Dashboard for Conversational AI Cloud. Currently there are many different dashboards to track historical data and trends of the chatbot, which gives deep insights into how well it works for clients. Real-time dashboard on the other hand allows to follow events happening in a current moment. The dashboard tracks different kinds of sessions which can show if a chatbot setup works well or something wrong is going on and it needs adjustment. The current stage of the dashboard is proof of concept, but it can already be used by developers in a staging environment for testing purposes.

User Interaction Efficient and User-friendly Landing Page Template for Indicia

Coen C.F.J.C. Couwenberg Title: Efficient and User-friendly Landing Page Template for Indicia Description:

I developed a new landing page template for Indicia to help them set up landing pages for their clients much faster. The main goal of this template is to cut down the setup time by 25% and make it easier for marketers to work without needing help from developers for technical issues.

This template is made to fit different types of marketing campaigns and needs. It has flexible features that let marketers change things like background colors, layouts and sizes on their own, it also has some more custom-made modules which are unique to the clients company like background effects, buttons, which saves time and avoids delays that happen when waiting for developers.

The template includes an easy-to-use drag-and-drop feature, making it simple for anyone to use, regardless of their tech skills. This helps marketers put together and change landing pages quickly.

I tested this template many times with the marketing team at Indicia to make sure it worked well and was easy to use. The final version will meet their needs and will look great, helping Indicia deliver professional, effective landing pages faster than before.

Overall, this project helps Indicia handle their marketing projects more efficiently and keeps their clients happy by delivering quality work quickly.

Organisational Processes Improving healthcare consultations with participating AI

Niels N.J. van der Burg Title: Improving healthcare consultations with participating AI Description:

The goal of the project is to integrate AI into existing patient and doctor consultations. This is achieved through a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) web application that enables doctors, patients, and healthcare departments to add agenda topics before or at the start of the conversation and track these topics during the consultation. Both the patient and the doctor receive real-time insights into a central agenda, which is marked off as the conversation progresses. After the consultation, the patient receives a comprehensive overview that shows how their concerns align with the doctor's agenda points and a patient-focused summary highlighting the necessary actions for them to take. The result is an improved patient experience and increased participation in their own healthcare.
The system utilizes state-of-the-art large language models (GPT) with specific prompting and transcription models (Whisper) to seamlessly integrate into existing consultation rooms by simply adding a microphone.

Software First impression matter: Redesigning the KAT for a contemporary audience

Luna D. Hellinga Title: First impression matter: Redesigning the KAT for a contemporary audience Description:

You can have a functionally perfect tool, but still have no-one use it. Impressions matter - because if it looks like it won't work, a lot of people will decide it doesn't.

This is the issue the Klank Analyse Tool (KAT) ran into: from a technical aspect it does a great job - exactly what you would expect of it. But from looking at the website, you wouldn't have known that. It looked dated, didn't feel good to use and didn't work on mobile. The accompanying e-learning looked - and read - like a 2000s blog page, and lacked many aspects of good educational material.

No more! During the past months we redesigned the e-learning for usability - both when learning and as documentation, and to improve the quality of learning. Then, we did the same for the main KAT website, while also ensuring the project is maintainable in the long term.

During this session we will:
- Take a look at the problems the KAT faced
- Discuss how we tackled those problems
- Look at what makes for a good e-learning environment
- Delve into modern web-design and technologies
And of course evaluate my internship.

Infrastructure Evaluation and implementation of DDI solutions for network automation and customer service

Yorlin Y.P.J.A. Snijders Title: Evaluation and implementation of DDI solutions for network automation and customer service Description:

Simac en DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) twee werelden die elkaar nog niet hebben gevonden...

Door de groeiende vraag van klanten naar de mogelijkheid om een dienst als DDI af te nemen, is Simac genoodzaakt om te gaan kijken naar een manier waarop zij dit zo goed mogelijk kunnen aanbieden aan de klant.
DDI gaat deel uitmaken van een framework waarbinnen de klant een of meerdere diensten kan afnemen, DDI gaat dus een van deze diensten worden.

Waarom DDI?
Momenteel is er nog geen gecentraliseerde manier voor het beheer van gegevens behorend bij DDI, en dit houdt ook in dat het beheer momenteel een "rommeltje" is. Zo worden veel IP-gegevens nog bijgehouden in ouderwetse Excel-sheets en worden de DNS en DHCP gerelateerde gegevens vaak bij de klant zelf beheerd.

Doel van het project
Door een gecentraliseerde manier te realiseren voor het beheer van de gegevens behorend bij DDI, moet er worden gezorgd voor een georganiseerder beheer en dit bespaard uit eindelijk ook in kosten en in stress.

Gewenste resultaat aan het einde van mijn stage
Het gewenste resultaat aan het einde van mijn stage is een gedetailleerd adviesrapport met daarbij een gedetailleerd onderzoek om de adviezen uit het adviesrapport te onderbouwen.

Hardware Interfacing secure QR-code for item registration

Jorrit G.J.J. van Triest Title: secure QR-code for item registration Description:

Canon Production Printing uses RFID tags to communicate information about a product from the production line to the printers. To reduce cost and e-waste, they want to use QR-codes instead. This involves creating a specification for the content of that code and setting up a device that can securely create the codes.

The QR-code is going to be used for an expansive range of purposes, far beyond the scope of the RFID tag. The project is an exercise in finding the trade-off between specificity and flexibility.

User Interaction Improving the design and creation process of theme pages using AI

Luuk L. Briels Title: Improving the design and creation process of theme pages using AI Description:

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow, it's showing up more and more in our everyday lives. My project dove into this trend, and used it to help solve a problem my internship company (iO) and their clients have.

iO's clients run digital platforms like online stores and business websites with content that reaches people worldwide. But there's a recurring problem: they often need special pages for events like Christmas, Black Friday, etc. Making these pages takes a lot of time because they have to be manually designed and created from scratch every time.

The project’s main goal was to conduct thorough research on how generative AI can improve the efficiency of designing and creating these temporary theme pages, and to create a proof of concept using this research to showcase its potential. With this project, iO can expand further on this concept to streamline the process of creating these pages, making it more time and resource efficient.

Software A cross-platform application for the centralized service management of flow computers

Christian H.C. Diekmann Title: A cross-platform application for the centralized service management of flow computers Description:

For my graduation project, I engineered a cross-platform application aimed at revolutionizing how CRT Services manages and interfaces with ABB's Flow-X flow computers, critical in the custody transfer of hydrocarbons. During my time at ABB B.V. in Eindhoven, I designed a unified system that can replace multiple, disjointed tools currently used by CRT technicians. My application improves efficiency in field services, including commissioning support and routine maintenance. The project focused on creating a robust application that allows employees to manage multiple devices seamlessly from a single interface. The application supports various functionalities such as reading and writing device tag values, comparing parameters across different devices, and retrieving critical data for analysis and billing purposes. A significant feature is its ability to function independently in the field without requiring a constant internet connection, which is vital for on-site technicians working in remote areas. I designed the frontend of the application using Electron, which supports cross-platform deployment, ensuring that CRT technicians can operate it on various devices. The backend, developed to manage and centralize data collected from the Flow-X devices, supports offline functionalities and synchronizes data when an internet connection is available. I implemented robust user authentication and authorization features that function both online and offline. This feature ensures that multiple CRT employees can access the system securely, maintaining data integrity and confidentiality. The tool enhances the operational efficiency of CRT's field services and ensures that the data management processes are streamlined and more reliable.

Software Mendix Applications Test Automation

Ismail I. Chbiki Title: Mendix Applications Test Automation Description:

During my internship, I investigated and developed a Test Automation Framework which combines the best of Test Automation and code reusability.

For that purpose, I started by exploring Mendix test environment, methodologies, tools and existing solutions to be able to form an understanding about the problem situation.

There are two types of testing in Mendix which hold downsides in each of them. The first type has a project which holds all the tests for the different Mendix applications. This project has to be triggered from within and not from a given Mendix application project which means automated testing is not possible if a Mendix application has a new change. This approach achieves code reuse between the tests if multiple Mendix applications have common behaviours or functionalities.
The second type of testing is the industry standard which means a project holds its code and tests together in the same repository. This type doesn't allow code reuse.

My mission was to do some research and develop a Proof of Concept (POC) proposal for a hybrid solution that addresses the challenges posed by both testing options.

Software Cards in Instant Editor

Lazar L.V. Golomeev Title: Cards in Instant Editor Description:

During my graduation internship at Storio Group, domestically popular as Albelli, I worked on integrating a photo-product, Cards, into their new editing web application - the Instant Editor. This feature is a key part of the company’s initiative to migrate from their over-a-century-old HTML5 Online Editor to a modern React-based development environment.

As a Graduation Intern at Albelli, I'm constantly looking for ways to streamline our workflow and enhance user experience. The Project Cards in Instant Editor is a prime example of this effort. Project Cards serve as a visual and interactive tool for users to manage and edit their photoproduct projects. Designed with a user-friendly interface, it allows even those with minimal technical skills to navigate easily. Real-time updates ensure users are always informed about their project's status, and various customization options let them personalize cards with notes and different layouts to suit their preferences. Quick access tools are available on each card for common editing actions.

Technically, the Project Cards are built using React for a dynamic and responsive experience, integrated with our backend via RESTful APIs to ensure smooth data synchronization. The application leverages technologies like React Redux and React Redux Saga, emphasizing performance and scalability to maintain robustness under heavy usage. I conducted technical assessments and provided recommendations for the future of the application and the product category.

In essence, Project Cards in Instant Editor significantly enhance user experience by offering an organized, visually appealing, and efficient way to create Cards. This feature reduces time spent navigating projects, allowing users to focus more on creativity and less on administration. It reflects my commitment to delivering innovative and user-centric solutions that boost productivity and user satisfaction.

Software Technical Maintenance Forecasting & Planning

Alejandro J.A. Garcia Valdez Title: Technical Maintenance Forecasting & Planning Description:

During my graduation internship at Gate Software, I extended the Gate Property Management Software (GatePMS) by designing and implementing a Long-term Technical Maintenance system.

This project involves the realization of a Multi-year Maintenance Planning (MYMP) for building’s elements. The MYMP reflects the planning for maintenance of the building elements in the long term, and contains information about the maintenance operations to be performed, when they must be done, costs, frequency, and other details. Also, the maintenance operations are linked to the Planning module of GatePMS, where maintenance tasks are automatically created and planned based on the maintenance operation(s).

In addition to the MYMP, a Savings Advise System is implemented to give an indication of the amount of money that needs to be saved for one specific year, considering the elements that must go under maintenance on that year. Additionally, this savings advice is reflected on the Budget module of GatePMS.

Organisational Processes MyDetails backend connection

Uroš U. Rakic Title: MyDetails backend connection Description:

The digital transformation department has developed “myDetails”, an online IDF form application which allows data checks on what the client fills in and stores the data on the Mendix cloud. As of April 1st 2024, this application has officially been rolled out in all regions of the multinational department of Allianz Trade and is currently in its testing phase.
The following step remains manual: Transcribing the data from “myDetails” to the backend offices. The process currently looks as follows:
The IM (Implementation manager) receives a notification per email that the client has filled in the form in “myDetails”. The IM then logs into “myDetails” and opens the specific campaign. They can then download the Excel XLS file with the information that the client has filled in. After this, the transcription of data looks the same as before with the old IDF forms. The time needed to execute this step is also the same: approximately one hour per “myDetails” form. The contact information and the bank details are put into Pluriform, the distribution plan of people who need to receive the notification for insurance limit decisions is put into IRP, and contact persons who need to receive access to EOLIS and Allianz Trande online (Allianz Trade’s online website platforms) are added to Group Ticketing.
Because of this, the need arose to research the possibilities and approaches in backend communication between various applications and creating a proof of concept that will allow this communication for the applications used in Allianz Trade for Multinationals specifically.

Software ASML Virtual Reality & Digital Twin

Katrin K.G. Tarneva Title: ASML Virtual Reality & Digital Twin Description:

During my internship I made a series of interviews with different stakeholders from different
departments, the goal of these interviews was to analyze the problems these stakeholders have and how
can I assist them to solve these problems.
After the series of interviews my project is to create a solution that recrates the 3D naked eye effect (Anamorphic
illusion) and an interactive prototype in Virtual Reality of a Digital Twin of an ASML machine. In order to succeed in
making a prototype of a Digital Twin, I needed to first research what a Digital Twin is and how can I
encourage engineers to collaboratively manipulate a digital twin during Design Reviews.

Organisational Processes Optimalisatie van gegevensverstrekking door implementatie BRP-selectietool ‘iNzicht’

Nicole N. Peters Title: Optimalisatie van gegevensverstrekking door implementatie BRP-selectietool ‘iNzicht’ Description:

Mijn afstudeerproject heb ik verricht voor team Burgerzaken van de gemeente Venray. Team Burgerzaken verstrekt data uit de Basisregistratie Personen (BRP) aan inwoners en organisaties. Het huidige gegevensverstrekkingsproces kampt echter met diverse knelpunten en mijn project richtte zich op het optimaliseren van dit proces door de implementatie van een BRP-selectietool 'iNzicht'. Met deze tool kunnen medewerkers zelfstandig selectieverzoeken genereren via een visueel dashboard, wat de efficiënte en kwaliteit van gegevensverstrekking verbetert.

Een IST-, SOLL- en GAP-analyse bracht de huidige en gewenste situatie in kaart en identificeerde de verschillen. Vervolgens ontwikkelde ik een Proof of Concept: een dashboard waarmee men selectieverzoeken kan genereren op basis van data uit de BRP.

Daarbij stelde ik een verbeterplan op met acties voor verdere optimalisatie en implementatie van het gegevensverstrekkingsproces. Dit om de continuïteit voor de toekomst te waarborgen.

Software SMARTI - IoT Solution for Supply Chain Management

Shanessa Kostaman Title: SMARTI - IoT Solution for Supply Chain Management Description:

During my graduation, I had the opportunity to work on rebuilding the Second version of the SMARTI application from scratch. The original platform was specifically tailored towards certain supply chain vendors, which meant that engineers had to individually modify the application for each new client. This process consumed both manpower and time, limiting its suitability for sale to a wide range of suppliers.

To address these limitations, the new SMARTI platform was re-built to include existing functionalities from the previous version, along with additional features using the latest technology stack. The primary objective of this platform is to track items throughout the supply chain cycle. Notably, version 2 introduces a significant enhancement: empowering supply chain companies to create their own objects within the system, enabling precise and personalized tracking. This improvement greatly expands the potential client base of Pharox.

At present, the system is in the testing/staging phase and has already been adopted by some of Pharox's clients.

User Interaction Building Attention: An Escape From TQ's Reality

Tijn T. van der Heijden Title: Building Attention: An Escape From TQ's Reality Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage heb ik de behoefte naar een verrijking van sociale interactie en ontspanning op TQ bij studenten onderzocht. Op basis van dit onderzoek heb ik een interactieve ingreep ontworpen en gerealiseerd, van concept tot validatie, die studenten in groepsverband op TQ kunnen gebruiken. Het concept betreft een fysieke opstelling op TQ, waarbij twee studenten tegelijkertijd op een laagdrempelige manier gebruik kunnen maken van het product. Tijdens het testen van het gebruik van het product is ernaar gestreefd om de sociale interactie en ontspanning bij de studenten te valideren, om zo iets extra's te bieden aan hun al bestaande typische werkdag.

User Interaction RevSim

Tom T.H.W. Derks Title: RevSim Description:

Het RevSim project is bedoelt om mensen met niet aangeboren hersenletsel te helpen tijdens het revalideren met behulp van een simulatie stoel en VR. Dit word gedaan door het gebruik van een auto rijd simulatie waarin mensen kunnen werken aan hun balans, motor functies en hun reactie vermogen. De RevSim heeft verschillende levels met persoonlijk verstelbare instellingen die er voor zorgen dat het revalidatie team de simulatie zo goed mogelijk kan afstellen op de patiënt, omdat NAH (niet aangeboren hersenletsel) een aandoening is die bij elk persoon unieke problemen omhoog kan brengen die verschillen in ernst. Deze simulatie maakt zoals gezegd gebruik van de YAW2 simulatie stoel, een simulatie stoel die real time feedback kan geven vanuit het spel in de vorm van bewegingen. De stoel kan zich voor, achter, links en rechts kantelen om de acties in het spel realistisch na te bootsen. Dit in combinatie met VR zorgt voor een meeslepende simulatie omgeving waarin de patiënt zijn of haar vaardigheden kunnen trainen op hun eigen niveau, wat leid tot een effectiever revalidatie process.

Software AI-Innovatie bij Brabant Water in hun sectoren ICT, Klant & HRM

Rick R.H.M. de Rijk Title: AI-Innovatie bij Brabant Water in hun sectoren ICT, Klant & HRM Description:

Mijn project betreft de ontwikkeling van een AI-chatbot voor de ICT-helpdesksector, waarbij ik gebruik maak van nieuwe Microsoft-tools zoals Microsoft Copilot & Copilot Studio. De chatbot is in staat om antwoorden te geven op basis van handleidingen in SharePoint. De AI kan dus de documenten doornemen en vervolgens een passend antwoord genereren voor de gebruiker. Deze chatbot vormt een handige tool voor de ICT-helpdesk, gezien de exponentiële groei van meldingen in de afgelopen jaren door het thuiswerken. Bovendien kan de chatbot de standaardprocedure van de ICT-helpdesk overnemen, waarbij de gebruikelijke vragen aan de gebruiker worden gesteld, zoals de gebruikersnaam. Op deze manier kan de medewerker direct een overzicht krijgen van de melding, waardoor hij of zij de gebruiker direct kan helpen bij het vinden van een oplossing. Door de ontwikkeling van de chatbot kan de werkdruk bij de helpdesk verminderd worden en wordt de zelfredzaamheid van werknemers vergroot.

Daarnaast wordt er onderzoek gedaan naar de toepassing van een AI-oplossing voor andere sectoren binnen Brabant Water, genaamd klant en HRM. Voor HRM wordt een soortgelijke oplossing met behulp van een chatbot gezocht, die vragen van medewerkers kan beantwoorden op basis van documenten & standaard procedures.

Voor sector klant wil men dat AI snel een samenvatting kan maken van eerdere gesprekken of e-mails, met behoud van de stijl van Brabant Water. Voor zowel de HRM- als de klantensector wordt alleen de inzet van AI onderzocht; er wordt geen ontwikkeling verricht.

Tot slot wordt verwacht dat de inzet van AI aanzienlijk zal bijdragen aan de verbetering van de efficiëntie van Brabant Water in de drie verschillende sectoren.

User Interaction Game cultuurdimensies

Ruud R.A.W.M. Willemse Title: Game cultuurdimensies Description:

Bij aankomst in een ander land stuiten mensen vaak op cultuurverschillen zoals andere gewoonten, humor en sociale relaties, wat uitdagingen kan opleveren. WeenerXL ondersteunt mensen met afstand tot de arbeidsmarkt, waaronder recent gearriveerde statushouders in Nederland. Hier ontstaan vaak misverstanden tussen statushouders, begeleiders, jobcoaches en werkgevers door wederzijds onbegrip van elkaars culturele reacties.

Stichting Stip, die samenwerkt met WeenerXL, helpt mensen om actief deel te nemen aan de samenleving door maatschappelijke innovaties beschikbaar te maken. Deze innovaties worden zonder winstoogmerk ontwikkeld en opbrengsten worden herinvesteerd in verdere ontwikkeling voor maatschappelijk welzijn.

Om de communicatie tussen statushouders en hun omgeving te verbeteren, wil Stichting Stip een trainingsgame ontwikkelen gebaseerd op Hofstede's culturele dimensies. Deze dimensies, zes in totaal, helpen culturele verschillen tussen landen te begrijpen en gedrag in verschillende culturele contexten te voorspellen.

Ik ben specifiek verantwoordelijk voor de dimensies machtsafstand en rolopvatting, terwijl een andere IT-student zich richt op tijdsoriëntatie en onzekerheidsvermijding. Het begrijpen van deze culturele verschillen is cruciaal voor effectieve communicatie en samenwerking in diverse teams.

Het project gebruikt een game om statushouders te trainen in cultuurverschillen, waardoor gebruikers actief betrokken raken bij het leerproces. Deze interactieve en speelse aanpak verbetert niet alleen de informatieopname, maar motiveert statushouders ook om deel te nemen en hun vaardigheden te verbeteren op een boeiende manier.

Software AI search interface for research knowledge base

Mathijn M. Goossens Title: AI search interface for research knowledge base Description:

During my internship I worked on a new feature for the Kennisrotonde. The Kennisrotonde is a website that contains a knowledge base and can be used to ask questions that can then be scientifically substantiated. One of the challenges the Kennisrotonde is facing is that their end users can find it difficult to find answers to questions that already have been answered. The end users (educational employees) often don’t have the time to search through several documents to find an answer. In addition, the researchers emphasize the significance of adding nuance into the responses. And not only a short answer to a question should be provided.

The AI search interface could be a possible solution to these problems. With the AI interface, users can ask direct questions within a search box and get direct generated answers. Without the need to search their answers and apply several filters to find their answer.

The AI interface also needs to be accurate and should also provide the nuances of the research answer and not only the short answer to the question. From this project, the stakeholders want to mostly gain insights in the possibilities and potential risks when integrating AI in their website. But the final solution will also be implemented if the project conclusions are positive.

Software Analysis, reconstruction, and phased modernizing of Fashion United’s messaging system.

Yarik Y.N.I. Brouwer Title: Analysis, reconstruction, and phased modernizing of Fashion United’s messaging system. Description:

Indicia is a software company that provides simple solutions for complex challenges. One of Indicia's clients is Fashion United. Indicia has developed a system called "Connectivity Engine & Product Data Engine" for Fashion United, which connects 90% of the Dutch fashion industry. A portion of this system is used for sending, processing, and storing messages. As this system is years old and becoming slower, it's time for an update.

During this internship, I have been working on updating this messaging system. Initially, it seemed like implementing new technologies was the focus, but it turned out that upgrading the framework from .NET Framework 4.7.2 to .NET 8 was a much higher priority. So, I started working on this. During this upgrade, I encountered various problems such as deprecated packages, assembly issues, and technologies that are simply no longer used. Ultimately, the goal is to use the new version of the messaging system as a drop-in replacement along with the rest of the outdated system.

Another part of this internship is writing a plan for Phased Modernizing. This should enable Indicia's employees to update the rest of the large system!

Hardware Interfacing Designing and implementing a plugin style architecture for an energy sharing and monitoring device

Kevin K.J.M. Eberson Title: Designing and implementing a plugin style architecture for an energy sharing and monitoring device Description:

During my graduation internship at VeyNex Embedded Systems, I was responsible for designing and developing the core architecture for a smart grid system meant for houses and factories. A Proof of Concept (PoC) was realized by developing a plugin-style architecture that allows a central gateway to connect and receive data from (for now) a P1 port. The gateway can read P1 data using a special P1 plugin, which hides all implementation details from this specific protocol. Support for any other protocol can be implemented via a separate plugin. The PoC’s purpose is to demonstrate the flexibility and future-proof capabilities of the chosen architecture.

In the future, the product will receive cloud support. This allows the product to connect to a wide range of cloud services. A central AI can give actionable feedback based on the user's behaviour. The user can create custom automation based on their needs using a rule engine. Additionally, the system will be able to manage the flow of energy, prioritizing green energy when it’s available. This way, the system can efficiently use or store available green energy when necessary. Moreover, the system can manage a synergy between multiple households to share energy when required.

Infrastructure The Attack Surface of North Brabant

Aflah A.H.H. Al-Jabri Title: The Attack Surface of North Brabant Description:

This project centers around gaining insights into the Noord-Brabant attack surface. To achieve this, we plan to collect and consolidate information from diverse sources in an automated manner. This approach will allow for future expansions (such as incorporating additional data sources) and thorough analysis. Ultimately, armed with this knowledge, we can take targeted actions to improve the security posture of North Brabant.
North Brabant presents a unique regional environment characterized by a diverse array of enterprises and geographic regions. However, assessing the volume of publicly available information about this area can be intricate. The challenge lies in balancing the need for information with the potential risks. While this data can empower organizations, it also has the potential to be exploited by malicious actors. As part of this project, the team aims to bolster the cyber resilience of North Brabant. Our long-term vision includes establishing a robust cyber resilience framework that could serve as a foundation not only for the Netherlands but also for Europe as a whole.

User Interaction Order Creation System

Daan D.W. Matheeuwsen Title: Order Creation System Description:

Rooskens Group is a freight forwarding company that handles B2B orders, meaning that a customer comes to Rooskens to, for example, transport a certain number of pallets, and Rooskens arranges the transportation to the respective destination. The companies that come to Rooskens are often businesses that need an extra truck or do not place a permanent order, which means these people often choose the easiest and cheapest option to have their orders transported. Due to this competitive market, Rooskens does not have the possibility to offer customers a template for an order as they would then go to another company. To have an advantage on competitors, Rooskens accepts all formats of orders. Currently, orders are received via PDF, Excel, or Mail, and it takes Rooskens a lot of time to manually enter these into the system. My assignment is to automate this process, I need to make it possible for the people who enter the orders internally to do so in an application and have it automatically linked to certain standard values needed to send it to OTM, which is the system where all orders are stored. This must be visually displayed and also offer the possibility to adjust and add certain values if necessary. It is also important that the user experience is good so that the users want to use the application and don't feel forced to use it The assignment thus contains a part Software and a part User Interaction, which means I have to research the users and their behavior, but also dive deep into how I can actually automate the orders.

Organisational Processes Data-Driven Zorg: Inzichten uit Sensoren bij Land van Horne

Willem W.P.M.M. van den Munckhof Title: Data-Driven Zorg: Inzichten uit Sensoren bij Land van Horne Description:

Hey, mijn naam is Willem van den Munckhof en mijn afstudeerproject richtte zich op het inzichtelijk maken van sensorgerelateerde data in de zorgsector, specifiek bij Land van Horne, een ouderenzorginstelling in Weert. Deze instelling werkt al een decennium met systemen die actuele oproepen en hulpverzoeken van cliënten via sensoren tonen aan medewerkers. Door de toenemende zorgvraag en het tekort aan personeel, is er een dringende behoefte aan efficiëntere inzet van zorgmedewerkers onder andere op basis van data-inzichten.

De data uit het Verpleeg Oproep Systeem (VOS), dat al jaren in gebruik is, werd tot nu toe niet geanalyseerd of geïnterpreteerd. In mijn project heb ik de data uit het VOS inzichtelijk gemaakt voor teamleiders, zorgspecialisten en zorgmanagers. Met behulp van de toegepaste onderzoeksstrategie, in gesprek te gaan met stakeholders en externe partners, is het gelukt niet alleen verbeterd inzicht te creëren, maar ook een blijvende oplossing achter te laten die gebruikt wordt door verschillende zorgmedewerkers. Door middel van deze inzichten kunnen zij hun besluitvormingsprocessen verbeteren, wat bijdraagt in een efficiëntere verdeling en beoordeling van de zorg.

De gegevens uit het VOS-systeem bieden waardevolle informatie over trends en patronen in hulpverzoeken, waardoor het management beter kan anticiperen op piekmomenten en personeelsbehoeften. Dit draagt bij aan een betere planning en inzet van personeel voor zorgmanagers, en een duidelijkere besluitvorming voor de ouderen specialist, waardoor de kwaliteit van de zorg verbetert en de werkdruk voor medewerkers vermindert.

Software Bringing Digital Twins into Virtual Worlds

Egor E.M. Knyazev Title: Bringing Digital Twins into Virtual Worlds Description:

During my graduation project at Sioux Technologies B.V., I dived into Digital Twin technologies. My primary objective was to enable user-friendly seamless interactions with Digital Twins in virtual reality (VR). Starting with a company developed apps for desktop setups, the SuperModels simulator and Holodeck package as my foundation, I researched and developed methods to seamlessly integrate Digital Twins into VR environments.

Throughout the project, I worked to bridge the gap between Digital Twin technology and VR, empowering users to interact intuitively within virtual environments. This involved exploring ways to incorporate not only natural hand gestures and real-life interactions but also interaction through different menu variants. I did research implementation strategies to merge Digital Twins smoothly into VR setups.

After project completion, I transformed theoretical concepts into practical experiences. Users could now engage with Digital Twins in dynamic and intuitive VR settings. This project not only expanded my technical skills but also increased my passion for advancing immersive technologies to create meaningful user interactions.

My experience at Sioux Technologies B.V. was transformative, expanding my technical skills and fueling my passion for advancing immersive technologies at the intersection of Digital Twins and virtual reality. This project inspired me to continue exploring innovative technologies and creating meaningful user interactions in future endeavors.

Hardware Interfacing Code Smells for Model Driven Development

Elise E.M.J. van de Luitgaarden Title: Code Smells for Model Driven Development Description:

Code smells are not bugs or mistakes in code. They do not cause unit tests to fail or trigger error warnings. However, they do indicate a violation of fundamental code development principles and can lead to a decline in code quality.

At DAF Trucks N.V., the Electrical Engineering department employs Model-Driven Development and uses Simulink to create models for their truck software. The Application Software (ASW) team in this department has concerns about the quality of these models and wants a better overview of their software. To address this, the main research question I focused on during my graduation internship was converting code smells into model smells and how these model smells can be utilized to create a quality overview.

During my internship, I researched and composed quality metrics specific for Model-Driven Development by adapting code smells for text-based programming to model smells for Simulink models. I implemented several methods, such as analysing the existing models, gathering input from engineers, and studying programming standards.

Using an iterative approach, I developed a tool that automates the identification of the model smells I created. This tool generates an overview of the models' quality. The overview also shows the model complexity, which is formed by the tool using several formulas and inputs. The full output of this tool will allow the ASW engineers to determine the necessary steps for improvement.

Software Digitale Stethoscoop van CarePoint Nederland

Jens J.J.W. Doomen Title: Digitale Stethoscoop van CarePoint Nederland Description:

Op het moment heeft Nederland last van dubbele vergrijsing. Dit betekent dat mensen veel ouder worden en dat er steeds meer oudere komen. Als gevolg hiervan wordt het lastig om mensen in zorg instellingen bij te houden en is het handiger om mensen zo lang mogelijk thuis te houden. Als gevolg hiervan moeten er meer preventie en diagnose opties in huis liggen. Dit bereikt CarePoint Nederland met behulp van de al bestaande Check Myself app. Dit is een app die verschillende medische gegevens kan tonen die zijn verkregen via geavanceerde AI op basis van een gezichtsscan. Denk hierbij aan bloeddruk, ademhaling, hartslag, enzovoort.

CarePoint Nederland wil hier een andere app naast hebben die bij de patiënt een long en ademhaling functies kan meten. Hier hoort een stukje hardware bij, dit komt in de vorm van een digitale stethoscoop. Hierdoor kunnen patiënten alle benodigde metingen met betrekking tot ademhaling uitvoeren vanaf huis.

Uiteindelijk wil CarePoint Nederland met deze stethoscoop een mogelijkheid bieden om een diagnose optie in huis te hebben voor patiënten. Deze stethoscoop kan hartslag en longfuncties meten. Op basis van AI-componenten kan er dan gemeten worden of er spraken is van bijvoorbeeld astma of andere longziektes of zelfs een hoge bloeddruk. Dit kan een patiënt helpen om bewustwording te geven over zijn/haar gezondheid en om bij twijfel aan de bel te trekken bij een huisarts of ziekenhuis.

Om dit te bereiken, moest de app eerst ontwikkeld worden. Tijdens mijn stage kreeg ik de verantwoordelijkheid om een prototype te creëren dat de stethoscoop verbindt met een mobiele telefoon en in staat is om essentiële metingen van de longen en het hart uit te voeren. Dit alles terwijl de beveiliging van de app een cruciale rol speelde.

User Interaction Motivating Healthcare Employees to fill out surveys

Mazoun M.M.S. AL Habsi Title: Motivating Healthcare Employees to fill out surveys Description:

There is a growing staff shortage facing the Flemish and Dutch healthcare sectors, specifically the caretakers. Many healthcare professionals want to leave healthcare or have already left due to reasons such as stress, burnout or other reasons.

The concern arise because soon the healthcare sector will need to replace the current workers in general, for example one in three Flemish healthcare workers that are 50 years of age. As for the Netherlands, in North-Brabant specifically, 36% of Dutch healthcare workers are 55 years old, while in Zeeland, 43% fall into the same age group (Interreg Vla-Ned, 2023).

Since this issues is presented in the Flanders and the Netherlands, several companies decided to work together to find solutions to keep healthcare professionals working. They need to know the reason that the professionals are leaving. If so, whether they are planning to leave soon or not. Based on that, they would be helped to improve their wellbeing and more. Therefore, they decided the solution to gather these needed data using a survey platform (Samen aan Z).

However, with the previous survey platform, the responses were low due to unknown several reasons.

User Interaction Communicatie rondom storingen superlogisch maken

Jasper J.E. van de Pas Title: Communicatie rondom storingen superlogisch maken Description:

Bij Analyst ICT geloven ze dat ze met de juiste analyse ICT kunnen versimpelen waardoor het nóg menselijker wordt. Daarmee willen ze bewijzen dat ICT en automatisering door inzicht, verbetering en ondersteuning het maximale kan doen voor de organisatie. Ze maken ICT-dienstverlening en automatisering weer persoonlijk door een begrijpelijke uitleg (op locatie) en ICT-dienstverlening op maat. Eigenlijk superlogisch.
Dat laatste is dan ook gelijk het motto van Analyst ICT, ICT moet simpelweg gewoon superlogisch zijn.
Op dit moment verloopt de communicatie rondom storingen met de klanten helaas nóg niet altijd superlogisch. Analyst ICT verzorgt ICT netwerken, cloudoplossingen, hardware & software en bedrijfsproces automatisering voor met name de zakelijke markt. Daarbij koopt Analyst ICT voornamelijk diensten in bij derden, denk aan Microsoft 365, maar ook telefonie bij diverse providers. Op het moment dat er een storing of probleem is in een van die systemen dan bellen veel klanten tegelijk de servicedesk, welke vervolgens overbelast raakt.
Hoe kunnen we een oplossing ontwikkelen waarbij klanten goed op de hoogte worden gehouden bij storingen, zodat de medewerkers minder belast worden en de servicedesk goed bereikbaar blijft voor andere hulpvragen van klanten?

Software Enabling automated and secure 'Connectivity as a Code' capability with Kubernetes Operator

Hristo H.I. Hristov Title: Enabling automated and secure 'Connectivity as a Code' capability with Kubernetes Operator Description:

Adopting a cloud-based approach and shifting from an on-premises architecture to Amazon Web Services (AWS) has its benefits, most notably, the significant reduction in operational costs. However, this transition isn't without its challenges. There are certain workloads that cannot be transferred to AWS owing to legal constraints and contingencies tied to data handling.

The issue then becomes: how can we streamline the process of managing connectivity between the conventional on-premises environment and AWS?

My project was focused on developing a Kubernetes Operator that simplifies connectivity management for both application and network teams.

The goal was to transition to a GitOps-centric approach, a sort of "Connectivity as Code" where application teams will fill in a configuration file provided by the network team with the desired endpoints for connection. If approved, the Operator ensures connectivity is established with minimal hassle.

Organisational Processes Optimalisatie van Debiteurenbeheer in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Yentl Y.W.L.B. Pos Title: Optimalisatie van Debiteurenbeheer in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Description:

Een onderzoek naar de optimalisatie van het debiteurenbeheer tijdens de overgang naar een nieuw systemenlandschap.

GAC, een Microsoft-consultancy bureau, stapt, wegens het verloop van de Navision 2016 ondersteuning, over naar Microsoft Business Central (BC). Hiervoor moet GAC meerdere bedrijfsprocessen onder de loep nemen om ervoor te zorgen dat deze naadloos aan zullen sluiten op BC. Een van de te onderzoeken processen is het debiteurenbeheer van GAC. Voor het onderzoek werd geconstateerd dat GAC te veel openstaande posten heeft en te veel tijd kwijt is met het innen van de posten. Het besluit van GAC om van een maandelijkse facturatie over te stappen naar één keer in de twee weken, zorgt er voor dat het debiteurenbeheer efficiënter en effectiever te werk moet gaan.

In dit onderzoek is onderzocht wat het huidige debiteurenbeheer van GAC is, hoe het proces wordt aangepast door de nieuwe systemen, welke veranderingen het proces moet ondergaan om optimaal voor GAC te werken en hoe aansluitende producten ingericht moeten/kunnen worden om aan de benodigde optimalisatie te leveren.

Uit het onderzoek is het volgende geconstateerd:
- Niet alle verantwoordelijke monitoren hun openstaande posten naar de verwachte norm.
- Finance voert te veel handmatige acties uit voor het debiteurenbeheer.
- In de nieuwe systemen zullen niet alle stakeholders de benodigde informatie kunnen zien.
- Niet alle data-inzichten zijn direct aanwezig.

Oplossingen:
- Verbeterd inzicht d.m.v. Power BI.
- Ondersteuning in Power BI d.m.v. Power Apps.
- Automatisering d.m.v. Power Automate.

Software Modernisering van het Customer Care takenbeheerssysteem voor Prijsvrij en D-Reizen

Sander S.R.J.M. Aarts Title: Modernisering van het Customer Care takenbeheerssysteem voor Prijsvrij en D-Reizen Description:

De Uitdaging
Veel Nederlandse reizigers kennen Prijsvrij en D-Reizen. De afdeling Customer Care van deze bedrijven werkt echter met een verouderd systeem dat de efficiëntie belemmert. Dit trage en inefficiënte systeem is bovendien lastig te onderhouden, omdat het sterk geïntegreerd is met het hele Prijsvrij-ecosysteem.

De Rol van het Systeem
Dit systeem registreert boekingsfouten, slaat deze op en toont ze vervolgens aan de medewerkers van Customer Care. Met behulp van deze informatie kunnen medewerkers de boekingsgegevens inzien en de gemelde taken oppakken.

Mijn Afstudeerproject
Mijn afstudeerproject richt zich op het herbouwen van dit systeem met een moderne aanpak die beter aansluit op de werkprocessen van het bedrijf. Snelheid en efficiëntie staan hierbij centraal, dus het schrijven van schone en onderhoudbare code is essentieel. Daarnaast moet het nieuwe systeem los staan van de rest van de infrastructuur om schaalbaarheid te garanderen tijdens piekmomenten.

Hardware Interfacing Camera-based production tracking

Jonathan J.T. Sulocki Title: Camera-based production tracking Description:

During my internship at Nestlé Purina PetCare, I worked on a solution to autonomously track product and waste weights using a camera and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The camera is used to detect and count product along conveyor belts coming from the extruders in the factory. This counted product can then be compared to the extruder’s expected output or compared to the product counted by a camera at another point along the conveyor belts. If a camera detects less product than expected, the difference can be calculated and tracked. This allows for the camera system to keep track of the weight of the missing “waste” product, as well as the weight of the detected “packageable” product.

The camera system offers a solution that can be used on any production line, without having to make any changes to the production line itself and allows for the tracking to be done completely autonomously.

Organisational Processes ScheidingSupport

Eva E.M. Bijker Title: ScheidingSupport Description:

Financieel kwetsbare partners raken vaak in de financiële nood na hun scheiding en dat willen wij voorkomen. Dit is een van de initiatieven in een 'Open Innovatie' samenwerking van een aantal bedrijven, waaronder Blueriq (mijn stage bedrijf in Den Bosch). In de huidige situatie is er zo'n wirwar aan informatie beschikbaar rondom het life-event 'scheiden', dat het voor veel verwarring zorgt. Hierdoor weet men niet wat hen te wachten staat en wat er geregeld moet worden. In de samenwerking willen wij daarom één applicatie maken met persoonlijk financieel inzicht en handelingsperspectief. Hiervoor heb ik tijdens mijn afstudeerstage regelservice(s) (een soort API) gemaakt die voor een recht/tegemoetkoming/voorziening een beoordeling geven op basis van iemands specifieke (financiële) situatie. Deze regelservices worden vervolgens gebruikt in de applicatie die de samenwerking aan het ontwikkelen is. Ook komt het op ICTU's regels.overheid.nl website te staan waarop het verhuurd wordt als SaaS-regelservice. De eerste regelservice die we nodig hadden voor de applicatie is de AOW-leeftijd berekening. Hier zijn namelijk meer dan 100 wetten van afhankelijk. In mijn eindpresentatie van mijn stage ga ik jullie meer vertellen over mijn project, aanpak en resultaten.

User Interaction Ontwerp een schaalbaar onboarding system om de developers van de Q-app de toegankelijkheid te geven om onboarding toe te passen op de huidige en toekomstige functies van de Q-App

Raf R. Schapendonk Title: Ontwerp een schaalbaar onboarding system om de developers van de Q-app de toegankelijkheid te geven om onboarding toe te passen op de huidige en toekomstige functies van de Q-App Description:

De techniek achter Q-App is nieuw en onbekend bij de gemiddelde gebruiker, wat leidde tot een ineffectieve communicatie van het onboarding proces. Na diverse trials bleek dat nieuwe gebruikers niet voldoende bekend waren met de functionaliteiten van de app, wat resulteerde in frustratie en onderbenutting.

Om dit probleem op te lossen, heb ik een schaalbaar onboarding oplossing ontwikkeld. Dit developers de mogelijkheid biedt om nieuwe gebruikers te informeren over de functionaliteiten van Q-App en bevordert de adoptie van nieuwe functies voor bestaande gebruikers.

Software Mapping generatie voor EDI vertalingen

Damian D. Hoogsteder Title: Mapping generatie voor EDI vertalingen Description:

Gedurende mijn afstudeerstage bij Indicia heb ik oplossingsrichtingen onderzocht voor de complexiteit die komt kijken bij het vertalen van EDI-berichten. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) wordt door een klant van Indicia, Fashion United, gebruikt om berichten uit te wisselen tussen leverancier en winkel in de mode-industrie. EDI-berichten kunnen in verschillende vormen worden opgezet en dit is soms heel lastig aan elkaar te relateren. Hierdoor kan informatie ook verloren gaan, omdat de ontvanger niet verwacht wat er verzonden is. Om dit op te vangen moeten er vertalingen gedaan worden a.d.h.v. een mapping. Een mapping is een XML-document waar alle informatie instaat om de vertaling mogelijk te maken. Dit werd tot op heden met de hand gedaan.
De oplossingsrichting die ik heb uitgewerkt probeert dit op te vangen door deze mapping te versimpelen en genereerbaar te maken. Hier heb ik gefocust op de vaakst voorkomende handelingen, zodat er zo min mogelijk handwerk nodig is. Door de complexiteit en vrijheid dat EDI biedt, zijn er ontzettend veel uitzonderingsregels. Dit resulteert in het feit dat handwerk onvermijdelijk is, om deze reden is verder onderzocht naar manieren om dit beter beheerbaar te maken. Hiervoor heb ik een uitbreiding op de tool gebouwd die werkt met bouwblokken, dit zijn een softwarecomponenten wat 1 herbruikbaar onderdeel van de mapping kan genereren. Dit heeft geresulteerd in een verbetering in werkwijze omtrent mappings en heeft gediend als een kick-off voor verbeteringen aan het applicatie landschap voor de toekomst.

Organisational Processes Reshape your cost. A Cost Allocation Project.

Matthew M.L. Da Silva Title: Reshape your cost. A Cost Allocation Project. Description:

During my graduate internship at Basic-Fit Tech, I developed a comprehensive cost allocation model to streamline financial management within the IT department. This project was initiated in response to the challenge of untracked and unallocated IT costs that obscured the financial impact of individual projects, complicating strategic planning and decision-making. By implementing a detailed cost allocation solution, the project aimed to enhance transparency and enable precise expense analysis.
The core of the project involved organizing IT expenses into defined Cost Centers, each linked to a specific product or project. This system distinguished between direct costs (e.g., software licenses and developer salaries specifically for the Basic-Fit app), indirect costs (shared software tools), and overhead costs (such as general administrative services). A new database was created to facilitate the systematic linking of expenses to their respective Cost Centers, thereby simplifying the calculation of cost per product.
Additionally, a Power BI dashboard was developed to visually represent the distribution of costs across different expense types. This tool enables management to easily understand and monitor IT expenses.
The model and tools introduced through this project now allow Basic-Fit Tech not only to justify IT expenses as strategic investments but also to optimize resource allocation, ultimately supporting the company’s ongoing growth and efficiency improvements.

These models use a hard voting technique to refine accuracy and reliability in threat
detection. My grading system further supports this by evaluating the confidence and
transparency of predictions, providing essential accuracy scores. This approach not
only builds trust in my system but also facilitates continuous adaptation to new and
evolving digital threats. Join me to learn how I created this machine learning!

Software Streamlining IT Hardware Renewals

Stanislav S.G. Petkov Title: Streamlining IT Hardware Renewals Description:

During my internship at Afterservice BV, I developed a Pre-Authorization System aimed at improving the efficiency of IT hardware renewals. This project addresses the issue of delayed approvals caused by manual processes by automating key workflows. The system sends monthly email invitations to managers for device renewals and provides a web interface for viewing and approving these requests. Once an employee’s device renewal is approved, they can use the Afterservice self-service portal to order a new device independently. This solution not only reduces approval times but also enhances decision-making, automates workflows, and improves budget management. The interactive dashboard offers a user-friendly experience, ensuring seamless hardware renewals and minimal operational disruption.

Software Eén Accounttoegang

Sander S.G.M. van den Hoogen Title: Eén Accounttoegang Description:

STA Software digitaliseerd processen in de bouw. Het bedrijf maakt een gestage groei door en verwelkomt voortdurend nieuwe klanten. Deze groei heeft echter enkele kritieke kwesties blootgelegd binnen het huidige authenticatiesysteem, wat onderzoek en verbetering vereist.

Het huidige softwarepakket van STA Software werkt met een multi-tenant opzet, waarbij de gegevens van klantomgevingen strikt gescheiden zijn, inclusief gebruikers-, inlog- en autorisatiegegevens. Om toegang te verstrekken tot een klantomgeving moet de klant een gebruiker aanmaken, deze gebruiker de juiste rollen en rechten toekennen, daarna uitnodigen per e-mail, waarna de uitgenodigde gebruiker inloggegevens kan invoeren voor die specifieke klantomgeving.

Voor gebruikers die slechts in één klantomgeving werken vormt dit geen probleem. Sommige partijen zoals onderaannemers, kwaliteitsborgers en medewerkers van STA, ervaren uitdagingen met dit systeem omdat ze dagelijks in meerdere klantomgevingen werken. Hierdoor zijn deze partijen vereist om inloggegevens voor meerdere klantomgevingen aan te maken en bij te houden en moeten de partijen regelmatig uitloggen van de ene omgeving om in te loggen in een andere omgeving. Met de groei van het klantenbestand neemt ook de impact van dit probleem toe, aangezien er steeds meer klantomgevingen zijn waarvoor inloggegevens nodig zijn.

De tekortkomingen van het authenticatieproces hebben geleid tot een dringende behoefte vanuit gebruikers van STA Software om met één account in te kunnen loggen in meerdere omgevingen, terwijl autorisatie per omgeving instelbaar is. Het doel van dit onderzoek is een oplossing bieden voor dit probleem.

This model would then use the data to determine the player's current engagement state and communicate it to the game. This involved utilizing the Tobii Pro Spark eye-tracking sensor and establishing communication between scripts to ensure data collection and transmission. Prior to delving into the technical aspect, initial research was necessary to understand the various factors contributing to a player's engagement state. Additionally, I created a "stress-testing" application in Unity to validate my research. This application presents different scenarios linked to aspects of player engagement, allowing me to observe changes (or lack thereof) in the data for each scenario and provide insight into how different changes influence various aspects of engagement. Collectively, this work establishes a solid foundation for future researchers working on the adaptive learning project.

Infrastructure Innovatie in IT: De Kracht van Automatisering

Tim T. van der Gracht Title: Innovatie in IT: De Kracht van Automatisering Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Axians, een vooraanstaande IT-dienstverlener in Nederland, heb ik onderzocht hoe het bedrijf standaardwijzigingsverzoeken automatisch kan afhandelen door de implementatie van een innovatief systeem. Deze verzoeken omvatten veelal kleinschalige aanpassingen in de ICT-omgeving van een klant, zoals het aanmaken van virtuele machines in een datacenter.

Het doel van dit project was het ontwikkelen van een geautomatiseerd systeem dat deze verzoeken niet alleen efficiënter verwerkt, maar ook de werkdruk voor engineers en technici aanzienlijk vermindert. Aan het einde van mijn stage heb ik een adviesrapport opgesteld dat richtlijnen biedt aan Axians over hoe zij hun automatiseringsprocessen verder kunnen optimaliseren.

Software Identifying Japanese knotweed from roadside images with computer vision

Eniko E. Kakas Title: Identifying Japanese knotweed from roadside images with computer vision Description:

The assignment was to prove that roadside images can be used to locate/ map different plant species (such as the Japanese knotweed) with computer vision, with that offering an automatic, time and cost efficient approach that opens the door for new use cases within the company where they currently work with drone and satellite images.

To be able to do that, street view images were used to train a deep learning model that can determine whether the Japanese knotweed plant is visible on an image or not. The predictions of the model then were used to create a map that shows Japanese knotweed infested areas along roads.

The created map, as well as the other maps the company makes, offers insight and perspectives for action to managers so they can better restore nature.

Software Expanding Blockly-based low-code editor

Sytse S. Walraven Title: Expanding Blockly-based low-code editor Description:

During my graduation internship at ICT Group, I researched and implemented an expansion to an existing Visual Studio Code extension, which was custom-made for one of their clients. The existing extension introduced a low-code editor – based on Google’s Blockly project – that allowed both pro-developers and domain experts with limited software knowledge to quickly create Python programmes for their machines. During my research, the team and I found that integrating a flow-based editor into the extension, that could work in conjunction with the existing editor, could help reduce some of the shortcomings of Blockly. This flow editor allows the user to quickly, easily, and in a human-readable manner design application behaviour, from which Python code is generated.

Infrastructure Het lanceren van een DAST-scanner & het uitwerken en introduceren van playbooks.

Senna S.F.R.N. den Bol Title: Het lanceren van een DAST-scanner & het uitwerken en introduceren van playbooks. Description:

Binnen de infrastructuur van het Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek zijn er veel webapplicaties die door verschillende teams beheerd worden. Aangezien een gedeelte van deze applicaties ook vanaf het internet bereikbaar zijn, moeten deze webapplicaties veilig genoeg zodat ze geen incident kunnen veroorzaken. Normaliter wordt de veiligheid gepeild door middel van een pentest, maar om daar jaarlijks externe pentestbedrijven voor in te huren kost het CBS enorm veel geld. Hierdoor is er binnen het SOC een traject afgelegd om een scanner aan te schaffen voor webapplicaties. Deze scanner is destijds alleen technisch opgezet en verder niet geconfigureerd.

Mijn opdracht houdt in het functioneel krijgen van de scanner zodat teams buiten het SOC zelf hun eigen webapplicaties kunnen scannen op kwetsbaarheden en deze verwerken om de webapps veiliger te maken, natuurlijk is onboarden a.d.h.v. geschreven werkinstructies/trainingen ook een deel van mijn opdracht.

Ook mist het SOC een stappenplan/handleiding voor bepaalde handelingen/incidenten. Hiervoor heb ik ook (incident response) playbooks gemaakt, zodat hun aan de hand van een incident een handleiding hebben voor bijvoorbeeld het uitvoeren van een scan of het behandelen van malware, phishing, etc.

Software Contracts & Microservice architectuur

Leon L.W.M. van der Vleuten Title: Contracts & Microservice architectuur Description:

Het DevOps-team ‘Sensing’ richt zich op het beheer van technische hulpmiddelen voor de operationele responsiviteit. Het platform faciliteert communicatie via asynchrone events, waarbij Apache Kafka als onderliggende technologie is geselecteerd. Momenteel zijn er geen formele specificaties, verwachtingen en garanties met betrekking tot de gegevensuitwisseling tussen de microservices vastgelegd. Gezien de toekomstige groei van berichtenverkeer en het toenemende aantal sensoren, is het essentieel om hierin verbeteringen aan te brengen.

Het doel van het project is om de communicatie tussen de microservices binnen het platform te reguleren en zo de betrouwbaarheid en consistentie van de gegevensstromen te waarborgen. De uitdaging hierbij is om dit op een generieke manier te doen die aansluit bij de ontwikkel- en bouwprocessen. Om de uiteindelijke verbetering aan te tonen, is er een prototype gebouwd waarbij de infrastructuur is uitgebreid met Avro-schema’s en waarbij schema en business validatie wordt uitgevoerd. Met dit prototype zal het platform zich conformeren aan de beleidsnormen en kan de verbetering aangetoond worden door het nabootsen van praktijkscenario’s waarin formalisatie noodzakelijk bleek te zijn.

Software Enhancing Digitization: Unify dashboards and find novel applications for AI in the construction industry

Olivier O.L.J. Mantzavelas Title: Enhancing Digitization: Unify dashboards and find novel applications for AI in the construction industry Description:

Heijmans is one of the largest construction companies in the Netherlands, at the forefront of innovation in its industry. It has set ambitious goals for 2030 to expand its use of data to improve efficiency, quality and sustainability.

The major goals of the project are to streamline and unify dashboarding and find novel uses of AI. These dashboards aim to give more control over the project evolution to the project managers and assist them in their communications with stakeholders. A lot of repetitive tasks are associated with their maintenance and there are many different dashboards spread across services, which makes the overall process more tedious.

To achieve this, the stakeholders' needs were analyzed along with some of the existing dashboards to evaluate their shortcomings. The new dashboards were initially created in isolation based on the data source they visualize. They were then gathered to allow their users to access them easily. The unified dashboards will then be tested in a real situation by being applied to the Eindhoven Airport terminal expansion project to assess and improve them. Finally, leveraging the wealth of information the company has, AI prototypes were produced to study their impact.

Software Konekti Auditing

Ryan R. Houben Title: Konekti Auditing Description:

Every business process leaves digital traces. Connecting these digital traces logically is called "process mining". To get all those digital traces, data analysts have to dig into complex files, systems, and databases to gather all this data.

Konekti is creating a no-code software solution to help with this data preparation, where people can build their event log in a no-code environment.

This graduation project is all about auditing. Within Konekti, there is no way to see the latest changes, revert changes, or create audit logs.

That's why we decided to divide this bigger project into 4 smaller projects:
1. Change tracking
2. Milestones
3. Reverting
4. Visualizations

Some other challenges this project has to offer are:
1. Architectures
2. Algorithms

Software SpiderWeb - Online Chat

Krystian K.S. Maraszek Title: SpiderWeb - Online Chat Description:

During my graduation internship at Spider IT, I was tasked to develop a chat module. By the end of the internship it was supposed to become a part of SpiderWeb, an application that Spider IT is currently developing. SpiderWeb is a system that allow for modular construction of web application with the in-depth adjustments using the C# code. This can take place in SpiderWeb.
The developed module was created with the extensibility in mind, as the client should be able to alter the behavior of the module according to the requirements of their own application. The chat module naturally, had to be integrated into the existing applications, so following the company guidelines was in this case necessary.
My responsibilities included, but were not limited to the design and analysis of the requirements of my task, up to the development of the back- and front-end.

Dion D. Wolter Title: Waarde en Inzetbaarheid Data voor Studievoortgang Description:

Vanaf het moment van aanmelden tot en met het afstuderen vinden er op allerlei momenten metingen en registraties plaats, waarbij er data met betrekking tot het leerproces van de student wordt vastgelegd. Dit vindt plaats in diverse (onderwijs)applicaties, waarvan de data onderling grotendeels niet gekoppeld is. Ondanks dat er data aanwezig is, ontbreekt het aan tijdige en adequate stuurinformatie om studenten te kunnen blijven volgen gedurende hun studie en tijdig bij te kunnen sturen. Voor mijn afstudeeropdracht heb ik onderzoek gedaan op welke wijze en waar er op dit moment welke data wordt geregistreerd, hoe men met deze data om kan en mag gaan (vanuit ethisch perspectief) en dit proces kan borgen binnen de organisatie. Uiteindelijk heb ik een BI oplossing ingericht door een datamodel op te zetten en heb ik o.b.v. de data gewenste inzichten weten te visualiseren.

Software Accessibility dashboard

Marian M.D.L.A. Salceda Kick Title: Accessibility dashboard Description:

During my internship at Basic-Fit, I automated the testing process for the company’s web applications while also estimating their accessibility compliance levels to enhance accessibility. This testing process was integrated into four distinct stages of the development cycle: during development, component testing, end-to-end (E2E) / integration testing, and the deployment phase.
To achieve this, I used Axe—an accessibility testing tool developed by deque systems—in combination with other stage-specific tools. Specifically, I used Storybook with Axe for component testing, Cypress with Axe core for E2E testing, and Axe CLI in a continuous integration (CI) pipeline during the deployment phase.
Accessibility is crucial because it ensures that web applications are usable by everyone regardless of any impairments they might have. This inclusivity not only improves the overall user experience but also potentially attracts new users.
By integrating Axe CLI into the CI pipeline, I was able to automate the assessment of accessibility metrics, allowing for comprehensive monitoring throughout the deployment process.
Due to the complexity of Basic-Fit's custom components, essential accessibility features were occasionally lost, and the automated tools did not always detect these shortcomings, which is why it was important to have several stages of testing, complement these with manual testing and most importantly, monitor the results. Results and performance metrics were continuously monitored using New Relic, to observe if the behaviour of the accessibility testing was as expected.

Infrastructure Implementatie van een Solution Architect binnen Hutten

Wesley W.C.M. van der Ploeg Title: Implementatie van een Solution Architect binnen Hutten Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Hutten, een toonaangevend catering- en horecabedrijf, heb ik een studie uitgevoerd naar de meerwaarde en vorm van de rol van Solution Architect binnen de organisatie. Enkele jaren geleden werd een audit uitgevoerd door een externe partij. Uit deze audit bleek dat Hutten een Solution Architect nodig heeft om het IT-landschap naar een hoger niveau te tillen.

De hoofdvraag van mijn onderzoek was: "Welke meerwaarde kan een Solution Architect Hutten bieden en in welke vorm?" Het doel was om te bepalen hoe een dedicated Solution Architect de efficiëntie en effectiviteit van Hutten kan verbeteren. Door interne processen te analyseren en interviews te houden met Solution Architects van andere organisaties, werden de belangrijkste taken, verantwoordelijkheden en vaardigheden voor deze rol vastgesteld. De focus lag op hoe een Solution Architect de kloof tussen zakelijke behoeften en technische oplossingen kan overbruggen. Het doel is ervoor te zorgen dat de oplossingen robuust en schaalbaar zijn en afgestemd op zowel huidige als toekomstige bedrijfsdoelstellingen.

De bevindingen suggereren dat een Solution Architect de projectcoördinatie kan verbeteren, tijd- en budgetoverschrijdingen kan verminderen en de interne klanttevredenheid kan verhogen. Er werden aanbevelingen gedaan voor de implementatie van deze rol bij Hutten. Dit omvat de benodigde competenties, optimale plaatsing binnen de organisatie en methoden voor het meten van de impact door middel van Key Performance Indicators (KPI's).

De resultaten van dit project bieden Hutten een duidelijk kader voor het integreren van een Solution Architect. Hierbij worden de voordelen van deze rol in het stimuleren van zakelijk en technologisch succes benadrukt.

Infrastructure Implementatie Intrusion Detection System

Richard R.H.B. van Erp Title: Implementatie Intrusion Detection System Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage heb ik onderzoek gedaan naar welke intrusion detection system (IDS) het best passend is voor mijn stagebedrijf. Nadat uit mijn onderzoek was gekomen welke oplossing het best passend was wilde ik hem gaan implementeren in een proof of concept (PoC). Voor ik met de implementatie kon moest ik eerst een testomgeving opzetten. Tijdens mijn onderzoek heb ik achterhaald hoe de standaard klant netwerken bij mijn stagebedrijf eruit zien, zo'n netwerk heb ik nagebouwd. Nadat ik het testnetwerk had staan ben ik de IDS gaan implementeren. Het is een Snort IDS die gegevens haalt van een Mikrotik router, deze gegevens worden gecontroleerd doormiddel van verschillende alert regels. Wanneer gegevens voldoen aan een alert regel maakt Snort hier een log van, deze log wordt dan doorgestuurd naar een Splunk dashboard doormiddel van Splunk Forwarden. Het Splunk dashboard visualiseert de logs die zijn gegenereerd door Snort.

Prakasa P. Kandasamy Pandian Sivanesa Pandian Title: Modular website Description:

During my graduation internship at Cape, the problem I was trying to solve, which they were currently facing, was that every time the marketing team wanted to update, edit content, or create a new page and elements on the marketing website, they always relied on developers. However, the developers didn't always have time to work on the marketing website. So, I focused on enhancing Cape's marketing website by implementing a modular approach. This aimed to provide the marketing team and non-developers with the freedom to create, edit, and delete pages and elements within the Cape marketing website.

User Interaction Wink: Elevating mobile UX, onboarding and deployment

Maarten M.A. Kasdorp Title: Wink: Elevating mobile UX, onboarding and deployment Description:

Eyetractive is a company that focuses on designing and creating websites and developing company software. They created a software platform called Wink, which is the base for all the company software packages they build.

This assignment focuses on enhancing the mobile user experience and onboarding process within the Wink platform. Currently, the UX and onboarding process on mobile devices is suboptimal, and could use improvement. While not every client will use the Wink platform on a mobile device, there are a growing amount of customers who will be, and because of this suboptimal UX and onboarding process, the experience is not yet what it should be. If the platform were to have an optimal experience on those devices, it would serve as a base on which new modules can be created, which will open new doors for the Wink platform.

Software Automated Gender Classification of Mealworms for Sustainable Protein Production

Duarte D. Somsen Title: Automated Gender Classification of Mealworms for Sustainable Protein Production Description:

Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) show great potential as a sustainable protein source. While various methods exist for efficient mealworm breeding, research indicates that maintaining specific gender ratios could lead to even higher breeding rates. However, accurate gender identification, a crucial factor in controlling these ratios, is labour-intensive when done manually. This project aims to develop an automated system for gender classification of mealworms using computer vision and machine learning techniques. With the potential to double the number of mealworms bred, this project contributes to the expansion of mealworm farming as a sustainable and environmentally friendly source of protein.

For this project, the mealworms are first manoeuvred in a certain way to allow for high-resolution images to be captured. These images are fed into a convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained on a large dataset of labelled mealworm images. The CNN extracts relevant features and patterns, enabling accurate gender classification.

User Interaction Selling an experiece

Robbie R. Muit Title: Selling an experiece Description:

My graduation internship at OWOW consisted of combining e-commerce and experience-driven design, to improve the target group's buyer experience on webshops. The answer to that is prompted guided selling. I designed a tool that will ask the user a couple of questions, to which the user can return a prompt. With the input, the tool can find the right product(color, price, size, etc) that fits the user's needs. The user is then able to ask more specific questions until the tool has found the most fitted product. Prompted guided selling quickly delivers the most suited information in a clear way while treating the user as a unique buyer.

This tool should help improve the disconnect that the target group feels between e-commerce shopping and physical shopping for high-end lifestyle products.

User Interaction Doorontwikkeling van een narrowcastingsysteem

Niels N.P.E.P. Vissers Title: Doorontwikkeling van een narrowcastingsysteem Description:

Encore heeft een narrowcastingsysteem genaamd Forcast. Forcast biedt gebruikers de mogelijkheid slides te maken met widgets, om deze te streamen op schermen, met het doel om communicatie te verbeteren. Maar Forcast krijgt veel wensen van klanten binnen. Encore heeft te weinig tijd om alle wensen constant op te lossen en hierdoor zijn sommige klanten al naar concurrenten gaan kijken. Er moest dus gezocht worden naar de juiste oplossing om de toestroom van de wensen aan te pakken, zodat Encore niet meer overspoeld wordt met de hoeveelheid wensen.

Uit benchmarks en wensen van klanten bleek dat de editor van Forcast te weinig functionaliteit en designvrijheid had. Hierover kwamen de grootste hoeveelheid en de meest tijdrovende wensen binnen. Als oplossing is een editor bedacht, gebaseerd op sjablonen (denk aan Canva) en om een koppeling te maken met Encores CMS. Hierdoor kunnen gebruikers designs uitkiezen die bij hen passen en hier widgets inzetten. Dankzij het gebruik van het CMS kunnen meer nieuwe widgets gemaakt worden. Het doel is om een editor te maken, waarin de 'reguliere' gebruikers de sjablonen kunnen gebruiken en beheerders/resellers zelf templates aan kunnen maken voor specifieke klanten of voor algemeen gebruik.

Voor deze afstudeerstage heb ik onderzocht welke eisen deze editor aan moet voldoen, aan de hand van concurrenten en de wensen van gebruikers. Daarnaast heb ik een prototype gemaakt voor de nieuwe editor en heb ik een adviesdocument geschreven voor de toekomstige ontwikkeling van Forcast en de aangeraden werkwijze hierbij. Als laatste heb ik een korte-termijn tussenoplossing gevonden in een rechtstreekse koppeling met Canva, die makkelijk te implementeren is. Deze oplossing omvat niet de hoeveelheid wensen en functionaliteiten die de zelfgemaakte editor zal omvatten, maar zal wel goed werken, terwijl Encore bezig is met de ontwikkeling van de editor.

Software Digital Transformation: Enhancing Efficiency from Excel to Webapp

Dylan D.D. Picus Title: Digital Transformation: Enhancing Efficiency from Excel to Webapp Description:

My graduation project is all about enhancing efficiency for Capgemini engineers in the Hardware Conditioning division working on the Capgemini Internal Reviews (CIR). These employees design hardware parts for machines. Designed parts need to be reviewed by peers to check for errors in the design, for this review process I have created a full-stack software application. In this application the engineers are able to: create reviews, leave remarks, and validate that the issues have been revolved. Next to that they can analyze the process and ask questions such as: ‘What kind of designs have the most initial errors?’ or ‘Do high complexity reviews take longer than medium complexity reviews? And why?’.

User Interaction Designing a new website for Vliegenenparkeren

Andreea A.M. Chis Title: Designing a new website for Vliegenenparkeren Description:

The graduation project at the company ROOSH is about redesigning the website vliegenenparkeren. Vliegenenparkeren lets travelers find, compare and book airport parking.

The website is 10 years old and it is hard to maintain and expand for the developers due to the outdated technology. Moreover, the website evolved without a structured approach, leading to an outdated design and user experience. Hence the need for this project: to recreate everything from scratch, update the UI based on modern design principles and upgrade the technology.

This project was done by using the method design thinking. Each step of the design thinking method was important to analyze the problem, study the competitors to pick their best practices, empathize with the users by identifying problems with the current website, come up with user and stakeholder requirements, sketches and wireframes for the ideation phase, design the new website for mobile view and desktop view and implement a single page of a designed page as proof of concept for the chosen stack.

In the end, the most important deliverable for this project is the high-fidelity Figma prototype that shows that it is an improvement compared to the current website of vliegenenparkeren.

Hardware Interfacing SwarmBots Object Detection

Tycho T.F.A.H. de Laat Title: SwarmBots Object Detection Description:

The Swarmbots are simple, driving robots that operate autonomously. Despite being simple, they collectively will be able to perform complex tasks. Consider, for example, pushing an object that is too heavy for a single robot, but can be moved by working together. Or playing a form of robot soccer (or other ball games) in which the robots must coordinate in teams to see which robot takes which action.

The goal of this project is to allow the Swarmbots to detect objects on the field, particularly focusing on the ball in a game scenario. This assignment is not just about immediate functionality but aims to future-proof the Swarmbots, enabling them to adapt to various tasks requiring object detection.

Software Data-Driven Optimization of Storage Grids

Stoyan S.L. Kostadinov Title: Data-Driven Optimization of Storage Grids Description:

During my internship at ASML, I was tasked with solving the storage grid problems the developers were encountering. The process of solving this problem involved gathering data about the state of the grid, exploring the data and deriving insights to make further decisions. Helpful insights about overallocation were found and more storage was requested. Then, a storage load balancer was implemented and used to balance the usage between the different disks. Moreover, internal tools were improved to mail developers about unused storage, which further reduces the load on the storage grid.

Security and Control: Optimising IT authorization processes

As an integral part of Achmea, the largest insurer in the Netherlands, Achmea Bank focuses on providing various financial products to retail customers, including mortgages, savings accounts, and investment services. Several departments operate within Achmea Bank, with IT Bank being specifically relevant to this project. IT Bank focuses on information technology and digital services, and plays a crucial role in developing, maintaining, and securing the bank's IT systems and processes.

An important part of applying IT within a bank is carefully establishing robust access management. This includes access to software tools, licences, databases, network drives and much more. IT Bank has developed a structured working method to systematically create and manage authorization designs. When introducing new tools and processes, an authorization design should be carefully developed. This design becomes the basis for assigning privileges to roles, activities and authorizations that are then linked to groups and individual users.

The current process of authorization design is manual and time-consuming because of its complexity, various technologies, and cross-departmental processes. It is also common for data to be redundantly included in various authorization designs.

This research was initiated from the need to improve authorization design and strengthen the security of sensitive data within IT Bank. It provides a structured approach to creating and maintaining authorization designs, with a focus on reducing manual tasks and minimising data redundancy. The ultimate goal is to develop a partially automated implementation process for designing and maintaining authorizations, resulting in strengthening the security of sensitive data within IT Bank.

Software Create a data warehousing solution to provide insight into the effectiveness of LOGO Digitaal and identify where the platform can be improved.

Cas C.K. Leeflang Title: Create a data warehousing solution to provide insight into the effectiveness of LOGO Digitaal and identify where the platform can be improved. Description:

Rezulto offers educational packages to schools with the focus on teaching vocabulary to young students aged 4 to 8. One module of their package is an online platform where students can play educational games to increase their vocabulary.
Furthermore, teachers can create tests and track the students results in this platform.

Rezulto wants to gain insight into how effective the platform is and whether it is being used correctly. In order to gain insight into this, a data warehousing solution with ETL pipeline is set up to collect event data of the usage of the platform, such as how often are games played, and which words are most popular?

Data is collected on both the frontend and backend. On the frontend Google Analytics 4 with Google Tag Manager is implemented to collect custom and specific events. Contextual data is fetched from the backend database and streamed to BigQuery using Google Datastream.

Using the collected data, an analysis is executed to investigate the effectiveness of the platform in increasing a students vocabulary. Additionally, this data is used to identify where the platform can be improved, for example if the answers in a particular game are disproportionally often answered incorrect, this can indicate an issue with the game.

By implementing the data warehousing solution and performing the analysis, Rezulto is able to make claims on the effectiveness of the platform to their (potential) customers.

The platform stack is using:
- PHP Yii2
- Vue2 with Nuxt

The solution is implemented within the google cloud suite, using technologies such as:
- Google Analytics 4
- Google Tag Manager
- BigQuery
- DataFlow with Apache Beam
- DataStream
- Looker studio
- Additional services used for building, deploying, and managing the solution

Software Supporting Data-Driven Tool Lifecycle

Kristian K.K. Savov Title: Supporting Data-Driven Tool Lifecycle Description:

During my internship at KMWE Precision BV, I was challenged with the task to make the tool's lifecycle traceable by limiting the usage of paper and making paper-based steps digitalized.
It is crucial to be able to trace a tool from its assembly and preparation, all the way to when it is mounted into the CNC machine. This way KMWE is able to trace back the tool to the particular step when something may have gone wrong or for future reference.

For the project, I have created digitalised work instructions in the software used by the Tool Service Center, as well as, proposed multiple ways that tool data can be delivered to production more efficiently. Additionally, during the implementation, I suggested a solution on how the software used can be improved and made more maintainable and testable.

User Interaction Hoe kunnen we de online/ particuliere verkoop verhogen?

Britt B.W.M. Prop Title: Hoe kunnen we de online/ particuliere verkoop verhogen? Description:

Project : Hoe kunnen we de online/ particuliere verkoop verhogen
Shared with:
Geene, Chris C.A.Jordy WolfsRuissen, Martijn M.
Eigen onderneming: Ander half jaar geleden zijn we begonnen met onze onderneming. Een simpel idee, maar de realisatie blijkt alles behalve dit. Het afgelopen half jaar is ter realisatie gekomen dat je 70 % bezig bent met werkzaamheden die niet direct te maken hebben met je concept. Waarbij 30% eigenlijk maar bezig bent met het ontwikkelen van in dit geval een product. Daarnaast ben ik constant bezig met verbeteringen, onderhandelingen met leveranciers, foto's maken, bestaande klanten onderhouden, social media, nieuwe klanten benaderen, product verbetering, veiligheid maatregelen, administratie en nog 20 andere taken. In combinatie met de dagelijkse takenpakket ben ik nu aan het afstuderen in mijn eigen bedrijf. Met de hoeveelheid tijd dat beschikbaar kan worden gemaakt ga ik komend half jaar onderzoeken hoe ik als ondernemer zelf de particuliere afzet kan verhogen.

Doel project : " Hoe kunnen we de online/ particuliere verkoop verhogen?"

Prop's Brewery : Voor nu ligt onze grootste uitdaging om deze dranken ook bij de consumenten te krijgen. In Limburg kunnen consumenten al volop genieten van onze drankjes hun favoriete plekje. Maar we willen dat de mensen thuis even goed mee kunnen genieten. Hiervoor zal onze particuliere markt moeten groeien, vooral in bekendheid en in "makkelijkheid" om aan onze dranken te komen /kopen. In de eerste fase van een bedrijf is het van groot belang om data te verzamelen, met name doelgroep, behoefte en huidig aanbod. Om ons product bij de gewenste doelgroep te krijgen en te houden, is het noodzakelijk om constant te evalueren. Wat vinden onze klanten van onze producten? Hoe vinden ze ons? Wat missen ze eventueel in ons aanbod? en hoe gemakkelijk is het om ons product te kopen? Dit is een proces dat constant wordt uitgevoerd door feedback te vragen en in gesprek te gaan met onze klanten. Nu willen we doormiddel van dit project kijken waar onze kansen liggen op gebied van particuliere verkoop.

In het volgend project wordt op verschillende manieren onderzocht hoe we onze bekendheid zo efficiënt mogelijk kunnen laten groeien.

Software Smart Supply chains with Blockchain technology

Ioan Nicolae I.N. Popa Title: Smart Supply chains with Blockchain technology Description:

For my graduation project, I developed a robust traceability system that uses blockchain technology to track the transformation of raw materials into finished products, inside the factory walls.
The project has been hosted by Actemium Netherlands, a key player in the industrial sector and part of VINCI Energies network. With most of its client companies working within the Feed, Food & Beverage sector, Actemium is seeing the strategic potential in the integration of blockchain technology for the automation and simplification of industrial processes, such as the movement of goods throughout the supply chain.
Thus, a Proof-of-Concept application has been developed with the purpose of facilitating the transfer of relevant data provided by the manufacturing execution systems available in most industrial environments, into a decentralized environment represented by a series of nodes, each hosting a decentralized ledger of all the "transactions" that the materials have undergone in order to reach the finite final product.
Another key aspect of the project has been the research conducted into the latest trends and technologies in the field of Blockchain for traceability.

Software Centralized hour logging analysis tool

Maarten M.S. Hormes Title: Centralized hour logging analysis tool Description:

Quad Solutions is a software company that delivers full java development teams to their clients. Since their clients do not support "paying" whole teams, there is a misalignment in what Quad Solutions wants to bill and what their clients are willing to pay.

The proposed solution: create a centralized tool that occuring.

In order to create a centrlized tool that allows easy analysis of logged hours (worked hours), I researched the posibilities of incorperating hour logging systems into a centralized system, which technologies are most suitable for this tool, how to ensure quality and performance, and how to comply with the companies standards when it comes to deploying new applications.

This resulted in a portfolio, documenting the created professional products, as a report that functions as the reading guide for the portfolio. Besides this portfolio documenting my research, choices and reasoning, there is the actual implementation of the tool, being created with Spring Boot and React.js

Software Solution for reproducible deployments

Antonio A.M. Takev Title: Solution for reproducible deployments Description:

This semester I have designed and developed a cloud-agnostic Infrastructre as Code (IaC) solution for deploying projects for d-centralize and take the role of Cloud DevOps engineer.
The solution aims to enable other employees at the company to seamlessly manage or update the deployment configuration, perform fast migrations to other Cloud providers, or be able to reproduce the configuration to another project within the company. The focus was on two projects at the company - Pro6PP and infra. Pro6PP, a SaaS project offering a zip code database as a web service, was the main project for the internship and brought the most interesting challenges as it is a project used by real clients. On the other hand, infra, the project behind the in-company infrastructure, was the one that provides self-hosted applications for the employees at the company and makes the company quite flexible and cost-effective.
For Pro6PP the goal was to deploy its services on different environments like staging and production. For the infra project, I had to self-host some applications for in-company usage on top of the infrastructure I had built.
Overall, the internship helped me build a more thorough understanding and knowledge of the DevOps concepts and technologies used for deployment strategies by the professionals in the field.

Infrastructure C2 communication over satellite

Vadym V.S. Tkachenko Title: C2 communication over satellite Description:

Secura uses a variety of ways to emulate actual malware for us in Red Teaming exercises. These de-weaponized implants need to communicate back to the Command & Control (C2) server, which is somewhere on the internet. This communication needs to be hidden and the C2 server should not be easily identifiable or attributable to Secura. One way of hiding C2 communication and the C2 infra is to use satellite communication. This technique is used by certain threat actors, see https://securelist.com/satellite-turla-apt-command-and-control-in-the-sky/72081/.

Secura wishes to investigate the use of this technique to establish a covert channel and hiding of C2 infra for use in Red Teaming services. Implementing these methods for data exfiltration, for example, within the Red Team's workflow at Secura would allow them to attack customer infrastructure in a way similar to those of the most advanced APT groups and threat actors, making it extremely stealthy and anonymous, therefore much more difficult for the security personnel to track them down. As the use of these malicious mechanisms becomes more popular, system administrators need to deploy the correct defense strategies to mitigate such attacks.

Software Automate process of identifying design defects in X-ray Systems via Web-based tool

Andreea A.D. Sindrilaru Title: Automate process of identifying design defects in X-ray Systems via Web-based tool Description:

The graduation internship was completed at Philips Medical Systems B.V. The project involved restructuring and improving a prototype version of a web-based defect management tool, Athena, to a final version. Athena will be used by the Verification and Release Department of Image Guided Therapy (IGT) Systems, to facilitate the automatic handling of the reported design defects.

The design defects are stored in the ClearQuest defect database. To automate the workflow, previously an Excel-based tool was developed. The development of Athena was driven by the need for a more reliable process, as the current tool involves numerous problems such as data corruption, delays in updating records in ClearQuest, and inefficient multitasking with multiple screens during meetings.

Athena aims to fix these issues by bringing new features (not available in the Excel-based tool) that will reduce the department's processing time for handling the design defects, hence improving the overall quality of the Philips X-ray Systems.

During my internship at Heijmans, I had the chance to design and develop an innovative autonomous cable integrity monitoring system using time-domain reflectometry. This system aims to reduce the risks of unnoticed cable damage on construction sites, which can cause project delays and increase costs.

The system includes a robust monitoring module with 4G connectivity through the corporate APN, ensuring reliable communication and real-time data transmission. It also features a remote dashboard powered by Azure cloud services, providing an easy-to-use interface for monitoring and management. In case of cable damage, the system sends SMS notifications to service personnel.

High reliability is crucial for this system, as errors can lead to costly excavations to check cables. To avoid this, the detection algorithm is designed to verify results using statistical methods, aiming for a 99% confidence level, which is common for critical systems. This helps prevent false alarms and unnoticed faults.

A key aspect of the system is its effective energy management, which extends the system's uptime and enhances environmental sustainability by reducing power consumption. This focus on energy efficiency demonstrates a commitment to both performance and sustainability. Under normal conditions, the system's uptime is estimated to be around 30 days.

Overall, this project showcases a balanced approach to innovation, emphasizing performance, security, and sustainability. The system not only introduces a new solution but also aligns with Heijmans' commitment to integrating innovative solutions into the company's operations.

Infrastructure Autoremediating configuration drift and ghost resources in multicloud environments.

Jelmer J. Heidstra Title: Autoremediating configuration drift and ghost resources in multicloud environments. Description:

For my graduation internship at SUE, I conducted practical research on how to solve the reoccurring problem that is configuration drift and ghost resources in multiple cloud environments through automation. Configuration drift is a situation where an environment that is being managed by an Infrastructure as Code tool (Terraform in this case) gets manually altered by end users. In a similar manner, ghost resources are resources that have been deleted by end users but keep coming back due to the fact they are still present in the infrastructure code.

And so, I got to work, first looking into existing solutions that might help. I quickly came to the realization that while there are tools capable of achieving this, they are all paid closed source tools. For SUE this was clearly not an option, which is why I decided to set to work on building a tool that does it instead. This was relatively simple at first as Terraform already has a built-in method to detect configuration drift. The real challenge however was finding a way to also do this for resources that were not being managed by Terraform already. And on top of that, also automatically updating Terraform configuration files in the event developers would like to keep their manual changes. Ultimately, the proof-of-concept tool I built managed to do its job in that it can detect drift in not only managed, but also unmanaged resources in multiple clouds (think AWS, Azure, GCS). The next part – which was approving or declining these changes – was also automated, but changed to require some user input so users could retain a modicum of control of what would happen to their infrastructure and its code.

Software Compliant Software Security Automation

Albion A. Zogaj Title: Compliant Software Security Automation Description:

Tijdens mijn afstudeerstage bij Whyellow kreeg ik de uitdaging om een webapplicatie te ontwikkelen die een tijdrovend proces voor de IT-ops afdeling van Whyellow zou automatiseren.

Whyellow, als een ISO 27001-gecertificeerd bedrijf, moest meerdere keren per jaar handmatig een lijst met software van alle werknemers controleren. Dit omvatte ook het handmatig zoeken van een lijst of bron met kwetsbare software, zodat er gecontroleerd kan worden of er kwetsbare software binnen het bedrijf aanwezig is.

Het beheren van zo'n omvangrijke lijst met duizenden rijen kostte veel tijd, wat beter besteed kon worden in hun klanten. Echter, voordat ik aan de ontwikkeling begon, moesten nog enkele cruciale vragen beantwoord worden.

Hoe zou de webapplicatie geïntegreerd kunnen worden in de bestaande systemen van Whyellow? Hoe zouden we omgaan met het identificeren en aanpakken van kwetsbaarheden?

Software Afwijkingsdetectie voor Klimaatcontrolesystemen

noah N.S. Lammertsma Title: Afwijkingsdetectie voor Klimaatcontrolesystemen Description:

(Presentatie in het nederlands)

Downtime is voor maak- en installatiebedrijven een grote kostenpost, maar hoe verlagen we deze downtime? Dit kan gedaan worden door AI te implementeren. Door bijvoorbeeld proactief achter de fouten aan te gaan in plaats van reactief. Om dit te bereiken zijn er een aantal stappen nodig, waaronder afwijkingsdetectie.

Afwijkingsdetectie is het identificeren van het onzichtbare. Doormiddel van de oplossing onderzocht in mijn project kunnen bedrijven die nog geen concrete foutvoorbeelden hebben toch de eerste stap maken naar het proactief reageren op ongewenst gedrag binnen de apperatuur.

Dit project laat zien hoe je van geen data tot dit afwijkingsdetectie model komt, en hoe de informatie van dit model gevisualiseerd kan worden.
