1 Introduction
This project main objective is to make the new smart application for AB pty Ltd Company.
This company is a product deliver company and it has three trucks to deliver the products. It also
has the set of delivers to covers the all the region. It starting stage of this company delivers the
products five times per a data but, the current state of this company only deliver the products
three times per a day. It does not provide the effective deliver services for customer and third
parties. So, the company general manager decided to hire a new business analyst to identify the
potential issues and its solution. To provide the solution by use the IBM blue mix tool to create
the smart applications for a company. These are will be discussed and analyzed in detail.
2 IBM Blue mix
The IBM blue mix tool is used to makes the effective web application for a company and it
provide the cloud based smart application. The creation of smart application use below steps to
create the applications (Antonopoulos and Gillam, 2017).
1. Create and Login the IBM account.
2. Use below URL to login the IBM account. To login in the IBM account by enter the
Login ID and password.
https://idaas.iam.ibm.com/idaas/mtfim/sps/authsvc?
PolicyId=urn:ibm:security:authentication:asf:basicldapuser
3. After, create the smart application by launch IBM cloud. View the left navigation
pane to launch the IBM cloud and it open the dash board.
4. Here, user chooses the cloud foundry application to create the cloud foundry
application from the IBM cloud service list. It is shown below.

5. The above steps create the cloud foundry application without infrastructure. Then,
click the SKD for a node because it is used to produce the application and host name.
It is shown below.
5

6. Then, application will be opened. After, user needs to create the data for smart
application by click the data analytics services on IBM cloud dash board from
service list. It is used to provide to view the third party database. It is shown below.
6

7. In data analytics services window, choose the DB MYSQL to create the data base.
Once data was created successfully, then deploy and establish the data base. This
process done by click the connection from see the left navigation pane. This process
is shown in below.
7

8. Once database establishment and deployment is successfully completed, after user
needs to edit and configuring the code. This process is shown below.
8

9. To edit and deploy a code by click the IBM blue mix DevOps service. This process is
shown below.
9

10. If configuration code is completed successfully and users needs to deploy the code
file by select the red button on the centre of the screen and it used to display the pop
up window to re - deploy the code or not. It is shown below (Meinhardt and
Reinheimer, 2016).
10

11. The code deployment is completed successfully, the click the OK button and this
process is used to display the GIT repository window. This window is used to allow
users to edit the repository file. Then, commit the file by click the commit button. It is
shown below.
11

12. Here, IBM blue mix display the all the changed file details.
12

13. After, the IBM blue mix created the smart application successfully. Here, it displays
the build and deploy state and also display the successful acknowledgement message.

3 Business Case Scenario Analysis
Business Problems
The AB pty. Ltd is a company is a product deliver company and it has three trucks to deliver
the products. It also has the set of delivers to covers the all the region. It starting stage of this
company delivers the products five times per a data but, the current state of this company only
deliver the products three times per a day. It does not provide the effective deliver services for
customer and third parties. So, the company general manager decided to hire a new business
analyst to identify the potential issues and its solution. Resolve this potentical issue to create the
new smart application to simulate the trucks movement because of this company provide poor
service to deliver the products. This application is used to see the status of product delivery. To
create the small application by using the IBM Blue mix services.
Possible Solutions
 This company has the potential issues based on product delivery system. So, it needs to
resolve by creating the smart application for a company by using the IBM blue mix
services because it has lot of services. Here, user also uses the Geospatial analytics
service to monitor the device location.
 The Geospatial analytics is used to identify the product delivery location because it is
used to communicate with the truck drivers.
 The small application also used to display the information of vehicles like the problems
in the vehicles.
4 Smart Application configuration and Deployment
The created smart application needs to deploy and configure by using the IBM blue mix service.
It created the vehicle tracking system. This process is shown below.

To configure and deploy the smart application, user needs to create the internet of things
instances to configure the IoT foundation. This process done by uses the internet platform
services. The smart application configuration needs to choose the device type. It is shown below.

Then, use this URL https://api.ng.bluemix.net to check the created application in IBM blue
mix services. Then, Create a Geospatial analytics to identify the vehicle location. Then, bind the
geospatial analytics. After, a tester needs to sends the commands to corresponded vehicles and it
are used to bind the map application. It is shown below.

5 Difficulties
The smart application creation is takes some times to access the IBM blue mix services. It
has one or more difficulties to create the smart applications like vehicle tracking system such as
code editing, creation of database, application configuration, application deployment and
Geospatial analytics creations.
6 Conclusion
The AB pty Ltd is successfully created the new smart applications by using the IBM blue
mix tool because this organization is to deliver the products for third parties by using the truck. It
starting stage of this company delivers the products five times per a data but, the current state of
this company only deliver the products three times per a day. So, it needs to resolve by
successfully created vehicle tracking system application. These are discussed and analyzed in
detail.
