lfeoperatorfabric/of-external-app repository overview

OperatorFabric is a modular, extensible, industrial-strength platform for use in electricity, water, and other utility operations.

It aims to facilitate operational activities for utilities in two ways :

• Centralize real time business events in a single place to avoid having multiple screens/software. To do so, OperatorFabric provides
  • event notifications named "cards" with filtering features (severity , date , process ... )
  • event dispatching rules on a per user basis (based on groups, organizational entities, processes...
  • event-sending endpoints for business applications
  • a mechanism of templating to customize events rendering (using HTML5 )
  • a view of the events on a timeline or a calendar
  • storage of all the events (archive feature)
  • notifications via sounds
  • possibilities to integrate screen form other applications
• Facilitate interactions between operational control centers
  • Share information in real time, as pre-formatted cards that can be sent either manually by operators or automatically by external solutions
  • Introduce pre-formatted question/response exchanges between control centers. This can be used to implement operational processes (with the notion of "last time to respond").
  • Share events in calendar (also allowing repeating events)

In addition, the following features are available: internationalization, light/dark mode for the UI, realtime connected users supervision, authorization mechanism.

Integration with existing IT systems is an overarching concern: support of Firefox and Chromium-based browsers, docker deployment, communication with business applications via REST API or Kafka, integration with external authentication systems (via OAuth2), monitoring via Prometheus endpoints.

OperatorFabric is part of the https://www.lfenergy.org/[LF⁠ Energy] coalition, a project of The Linux Foundation that supports open source innovation projects within the energy and electricity sectors.
