Project objectives

The Crime-Lite Auto

Foster+Freeman has developed the Crime-Lite Auto, an all-in-one camera equipped with multiple light sources and advanced technologies. This camera is used to capture forensic evidence at crime scenes.

The challenge

Despite the power and versatility of the device, a challenge emerged: the vast number of settings made it complex to quickly and effectively select the optimal configurations for the best results.

The goal

To address this issue, the objective was to develop a solution that helps forensic investigators choose the right settings. This needed to be a user-friendly and efficient system that simplifies the complexity of the configurations.

Implementation

Development of the Product Validation Library

Chief has developed a custom portal: the Product Validation Library. This portal provides reference data in the form of recorded images, including the corresponding settings and results. As a result, forensic investigators can easily make comparisons and select the most suitable camera settings for their specific situation.

Technologies and tools

The portal was built using .NET Core and React, making it both powerful and user-friendly. Chief managed the entire project from start to finish, including design, development, implementation, and maintenance.

Automation and scalability

At Chief, we believe in a fully automated and scalable approach. That’s why we automated the development process with Azure DevOps, ensuring a streamlined CI/CD pipeline. The application is deployed as a scalable solution in Microsoft Azure, which not only optimizes performance but also ensures robustness and reliability.

Collaboration with Foster+Freeman

Throughout the project, we worked closely with Foster+Freeman to ensure that the portal perfectly aligns with their specific needs and the high standards of forensic research.

Results and benefits

Simplified usage

The Product Validation Library has significantly simplified the use of the Crime-Lite Auto. Forensic investigators can now quickly and efficiently find the right settings thanks to visual references and a user-friendly interface. This contributes to faster and more reliable analyses at crime scenes.

Scalable cloud infrastructure

Additionally, the scalable cloud infrastructure ensures that the portal can seamlessly grow alongside the needs of Foster+Freeman and its users worldwide.

Conclusion

With the development of the Product Validation Library, Chief has helped Foster+Freeman transform a complex challenge into an intuitive, efficient, and scalable solution. This project highlights our expertise in developing custom software that seamlessly integrates technologies and processes.
