Revolutionizing Construction with NocoBase: Rapid Development for Digital Transformation
The construction industry is undergoing a digital revolution, demanding faster, more efficient solutions. Youchao Digital, a leader in smart digital solutions for construction and transportation, faced challenges in meeting these demands with traditional development methods. This case study explores how Youchao Digital leveraged NocoBase's low-code platform to overcome these challenges and achieve unprecedented development speed and efficiency.
About Youchao Digital
Youchao Digital provides smart digital solutions for government regulators, construction firms, contractors, project supervisors, and monitoring agencies. By integrating BIM, GIS, IoT, and other technologies, they aim to make construction smarter, more efficient, and sustainable.
Accelerating Smart Digital Transformation in Construction
The increasing demand for intelligent solutions in construction led Youchao Digital to evolve its technology stack. They transitioned from a monolithic architecture to microservices, and from full-stack C# development to a C#+Angular and eventually a SpringCloud+Angular architecture. This evolution, however, presented significant development challenges.
Challenges Faced
Navigating Unclear User Requirements
A major hurdle was the difficulty in defining clear digital needs within the construction industry. The simultaneous design-and-execution approach amplified communication challenges and introduced project delivery uncertainty. The industry's diversity—spanning various technical and functional areas—further complicated the process, with each domain possessing its specialized terminology.
The Pressure of Rapid Delivery
Large-scale infrastructure projects demand rapid delivery. Clients expect immediate results, often requiring around-the-clock development efforts to meet tight deadlines in a demanding 7x11 work environment.
Industry Shift and Rising Competition
The construction industry's shift towards efficiency and quality, coupled with increased competition from firms establishing their own digital technology subsidiaries, necessitates cost-effective and streamlined development strategies.
Transforming Our Technology with NocoBase
To address these challenges, Youchao Digital evaluated numerous development frameworks. After considering over 30 criteria, they selected NocoBase for its plugin-based architecture and flexibility. The collaborative relationship with the NocoBase team was also a significant factor in the decision.
Remarkable Progress
After adopting NocoBase, Youchao Digital rapidly developed nearly 10 custom plugins, including Data Dictionary and Automatic Encoding. These plugins are planned for release on the NocoBase Plugin Marketplace. NocoBase also became the backbone of their internal management system, leading to significant efficiency improvements.
Record-Breaking Project Delivery
A testament to NocoBase's capabilities is a railway safety management platform project. A fully functional system was built from scratch in one week, with full deployment completed in just two months—their fastest project delivery to date.
Shaping the Future with NocoBase
Youchao Digital plans to leverage NocoBase to develop standalone plugins and core applications, including IoT cloud platforms, BIM+GIS integrations, digital twins, and digital dashboards. This strategic shift positions them for continued success in the evolving construction industry landscape.
Their journey highlights the power of low-code platforms like NocoBase in accelerating digital transformation within the construction industry, enabling rapid development and efficient solutions for complex challenges.
