This cateogory is different: If a project / blank-tile / unlinked-tile / or case-study post gets also this category, it will be shown as a tile on the homepage.

In other words – all posts that should be seen on the homepage should get this category!!!

Energy campus

The Competence Centre for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency (CC4E) located on the Energy Campus at HAW Hamburg is developing sustainable solutions for society’s energy problems. In a smart grid laboratory at the institution, efficient and intelligent strategies are being developed and tested to analyze the interaction of energy production, consumption and storage. As part of the hackathon “What the Data!?” hosted by Cybus and Dezera, we built a basic system for monitoring energy flows in house.

Electricity is generated on campus using photovoltaics and thermal power stations. If the current consumption is higher than the generation that moment, the difference is covered by the building connection to the electricity grid. On the other hand, electricity can be stored in the public grid as soon as the current generation exceeds actual use. Our live visualisation shows the current relationship between supply and consumption.

The energy campus data is read out using Cybus middleware and provided from a MQTT broker. Reshin subscribes to the relevant topics of the broker, stores them for historical access and uses them for various visualizations.

DLR pitch

Our draft for the redesign of the German Center for Aerospace (DLR: Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) was tendered as part of a non-public invitation by the DLR.

The aim of our strategy was to expand the reach of the website and especially to make it interesting to a young target group. Because of the DLR’s magnificent photo archives, we placed these motifs at the center of our design. In so doing, we graphically evoked the fascination of space on a large scale and offered an emotional entry point into this topic. The large dimensions of the images now make it possible to show a research result or a mission description at the pictorial level and in detail. Apart from that, the page structure features layering. Unfortunately, the request for tender from the DLR was revoked.

ELK

The ELK stack (Elastic, Logstash, Kibana) offers real-time analytics and custom dashboarding as an open-source solution. Elastic is used as a flexible big data store by the top Fortune 500 companies. Logstash ensures continuous importing of data, and Kibana allows its flexible visualization.

Being available as open source, solutions can be set up and tried out quickly using the ELK stack. The higher the requirements are, the more complex planning, installation and operation becomes. At that point at the latest, it is worth putting trust in collaborating with specialists.

Folge 3 offers support in using ELK

  • Configuration of Elastic
  • Efficient log parsing with Logstash
  • Building dashboards with Kibana
  • Implementing custom expansions for Elastic, Logstash, Kibana

We have developed expansions for more sophisticated installations using Reshin, the data analytics platform which can be operated securely in companies with the ELK platform, allowing to use ELK not only for monitoring and visualization but data analytics, too.

Königsklasse

The new age of livetickers: Soccerfans can now not only view a webconferrence with all information regarding the actual games they also get the best from social media.

The frontend is built responsive, regular webpages and mobile are supported. The server operates with Node.js the devices get the actual data through Websockets. Handlebar is used to render the HTML for the browser, Media Queries and adaptive Javascript handle the adjustment for different screen resolutions.

„11FREUNDE – Magazin für Fußballkultur“ ist ein deutsches Fußballmagazin, das im Berliner 11FREUNDE Verlag erscheint. Eng verwoben mit dem Magazin, ist die Online-Präsenz 11FREUNDE.de, die unter anderem aktuelle Nachrichten, humorvolle Bildstrecken und zahlreiche Interviews bietet.

Press portal

In collaboration with various departments of North German Radio (NDR), Folge 3 developed the portal for press releases from the NDR and has continually upgraded it ever since.

The press portal shows registered users the upcoming NDR program for the next few weeks. The broadcasts for the current week are updated in 15-minute intervals so that you can look up last minute changes quickly.

In addition, a number of newsletters and the NDR press releases are sent via the press portal. The press department can invite people and the press to its events via the integrated invitation module.

Relaunch Murmann Verlag

We relaunched the website for the Murmann Publishing Group. The Murmann Verlag of Hamburg is one of Germany’s leading non-fiction book publishers with a focus on business and society.

The entire publishing catalog is presented on the website. Books and e-books can be purchased from the online shop. The system can be expanded flexibly, such that even the websites of two newly acquired publishers could be integrated later.

Monitor Lehrerbildung

Transparency in diversity in teacher education: The “Monitor Lehrerbildung” (teacher education monitor) platform provides current information and data about the various arrangements for teacher training within the individual German federal states and at the respective national universities for fact-based discussions and decisions.

The aim of the project is to create the comparability needed for a discussion. It focuses on target groups concerned with teacher education, i.e. politicians, journalists and players from teacher training, universities and ministries.

The project duration is set initially for the next five years. In addition to data updates, several extensions of the portal are set to take place during this period. We have already developed the diagram level as a first step. Thus the data can be retrieved in the conventional table view as text or as a graphic representation.

Project partners are the Bertelsmann Foundation, the CHE Centre for Higher Education Development, the Deutsche Telekom Foundation and the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Association for the Promotion of German Science and Humanities).

Carlsen

We provided the Carlsen Verlag with our services for over ten years. Carlsen is part of the Swedish Bonnier Group and is a leading publisher in the children’s and youth literature sector, including publishers of the “Harry Potter” book series.

The centerpiece was the “Carl” title database that we developed. It served the internal publisher’s administration, but also provided the data for the website.

The special feature of the design of the website was, on the one hand, to address the very different target groups (from children and young adult book readers to manga fans) via sub and micro-sites, and on the other hand, to develop a comprehensive concept with recognition value based on Carlsen’s corporate identity.
