Centigon Blindagem do Brasil - Vehicle Armor

Today, Centigon is a division of the Carat Security Group, but it's roots are in O'Gara-Hess and Eisenhardt (a manufacturer of specialty vehicles based in Fairfield, Ohio, United States) and in Sayers & Scovill.

 

The company became part of Armor Holdings Inc, a world leader in security products and services, which, at the end of 2005, reorganized its mobile security division with the brand name of Centigon. Centigon was originally founded in 1988 as a O'Gara-Hess and Eisenhardt subsidiary located in Colombia, to comply with the Andean Pact, mainly producing armored versions of civil vehicles. In 2007, BAE Systems PLC., bought Armour Holdings and has sold   Centigon to Carat Duchatelet Holdings in February, 2008. In March, 2010, Centigon had become one of the three brands of Carat Security Group, headquartered in Liège, Belgium.

Centigon has contracted Cálix to develop a software to automate its quality process. This process involves several paper forms, which, posteriorly, should be manually included in a specific Quality Management System and, only after this, be integrated with the Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP).

 

Cálix has developed a mobile application which centralized all of the needed paper forms, in the correct work sequence, with all service orders data and work parameters. 

 

By using this new system, Centingon gained more agility in the quality process, because the results of quality inspections can be directly integrated among all the systems through a touch on the device screen.

Java®: Object-oriented Programming Language developed in the 90s by a team of programmers led by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems®, and currently maintained by Oracle. Java is the conventional language of the Java platform, but not their only language, as the platform is composed of several languages, frameworks and extensions to a range of devices and platforms.

 

SuperWaba®: Programming language used to develop applications for mobile devices like cell phones and devices running operating systems such as Palm OS®, Windows®, Windows Mobile®, Symbian OS® and Windows CE®. It is a reduced version of Java®, including using a virtual machine in which the implementation is specific to each device where it is installed. Unlike Java®, Superwaba does not support the synchronization model. It plays a  role similar to J2ME® technology, with one key difference: it has the greatest native integration with mobile devices and a more pragmatic API model. 

 

Datasul EMS®: It is a solution for Enterprise Management System (EMS), maintained by DATASUL currently owned by TOTVS, with two versions, EMS and EMS 2® 5®, which includes several modules that are designed to automate and manage

processes such as finance, human resources, logistics, and manufacturing, among others.
