Transformer Configuration System

Selecting the optimal configuration of voltage transformers for a customer's requirements was a manual engineering process that took about two weeks per specification. RemSoft.Dev developed both a web application and a desktop application entirely from the ground up to automate it. The system takes input and output parameters and calculates the optimal transformer configuration - and the calculations are heavy: hundreds of billions of computations per run, generating hundreds of gigabytes of logs, with results stored in a database. The applications were designed for big data and high load from the start, on .NET with an Angular front end, running on-premise with a cloud database. A six-person team - PM, one senior and four middle developers - delivered the system in six months. Specification time for customer equipment dropped from two weeks to two days.

Key Challenges

Client: Electrical equipment manufacturer

Duration: 6 months

Team: 6 - PM, 1 senior + 4 middle developers

Infrastructure: On-premise with cloud database

The project faced several key challenges:

  • Hundreds of billions of computations: The optimisation space was enormous; the architecture had to parallelise calculation and stay responsive under high load.
  • Hundreds of gigabytes of logs: Every run produced vast logs that engineers needed for verification - storage and retrieval were part of the design, not an afterthought.
  • Encoding expert judgment: The manual process lived in engineers' heads. Capturing the selection logic precisely was as much analysis work as coding.

Results

  • Web + desktop applications from scratch
  • Big-data, high-load calculation engine
  • Specification time: 2 weeks → 2 days
  • Delivered in 6 months
