Horsplace - e-ink display system for stables

Context

The project aimed to display field information directly at box level: care, planning and feeding.

The environment involved low-power constraints and a bridge between software, hardware and firmware.

Technical coordination happened with engineers in China, which added a real need for alignment and clarification.

The need and constraints

Make hardware and application components communicate in an exploratory context.

Maintain consistency between frontend, backend and e-ink display devices.

Structure an R&D project that required progressive technical decisions rather than a fixed specification.

Project constraints

Work with hardware, firmware and low-power constraints.

Coordinate technical exchanges with engineers based in China.

Move forward in an exploratory context where choices had to be adjusted progressively.

My contribution

Led the research and development phase to frame interactions between system components.

Developed an API proxy to orchestrate modules and make exchanges in the Horsplace ecosystem more reliable.

Coordinated technically with engineers in China to support hardware and firmware integration.

Features and integration

API proxy between application modules and display components.

Structured exchanges between frontend, backend and firmware.

Organisation of care, planning and feeding information.

Technical coordination around a low-power e-ink solution.

What this experience contributes

A clearer technical base to make the different parts of the solution work together.

A better structured project despite the uncertainty of R&D.

Concrete experience on a topic combining physical constraints, application logic and international coordination.
