Application Overview

Edge data ingestion starts with a group of disks that hold sensor data and need to be ingested and processed.  These group of disks may have correlated sensor data that needs to be processed as an aggregate unit in a way that reduces human errors and streamlines the ingestion flow at scale where human operator may be working with 50-100 disks at a time.  Akridata mobile application provides a streamlined interface through which an operator registers disk assets with Akrimanager software and physically inserts the disk into disk ingestion device like the JBOD(Just a bunch of disks).  From this point, the system triggers and orchestrates the configured data processing workflows.  The operator is alerted in case of any manual intervention required like removal of disks when ingestion is complete or any errors during ingestion.

The key features of the mobile application are

• Enables aggregated processing of a logical group of disks.
• Provides alerts and notifications whenever there are any unexpected errors(like corrupted disk).
• Support for capturing user defined metadata associated with each disk through bar codes, QR codes or manual text entry.  This ensures every disk asset has metadata tracked in the system.
• Support for printing bar codes or QR codes with metadata about the disk through a mobile bluetooth printer or a network printer.  The label sizes and label layouts printed are fully configurable.
• Connects the physical disk asset to the larger Akrimanager web UI.  The Akrimanager web UI provides rich capabilities to monitor the status of each disk ingestion, amount of data ingested etc.

The mobile application is supported on Apple iOS (iPhone & iPad) and Android (phones and tablets).
