Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
A leading wind turbine supplier for distributed wind energy applications, needed a bespoke, easy-to-use web portal that would allow customers to go online and login to a secure system, monitor how their turbines were functioning in real time, and download statistics and reports from any location. Clients also needed to be able to stop and start their turbines remotely, using the portal.
Each turbine PLC runs an industrial OPC UA server, which presents live turbine data only accessible by authorised systems.
Brave had to find a way to transmit the live data from each turbine to operator, owner, clients in a visually pleasing way in real time on the Internet.
To get the data from each unit, Brave wrote a custom Java Internet server that dials into every turbine, pulls its data in real time, then reconfigures it into a web-friendly format. Clients then log on to view a sleek and accessible dashboard, with easy-to-use and access features.
They built this server to run in the cloud, ensuring that it’s able to handle any amount of connected turbines.
The Java server is lean and efficient. When nobody is using the app, it goes into sleep mode, saving computing power and traffic. To this end, it only spins up the per-second, real-time data for each specific turbine when a user opens the app to look at it.
The Dashboard
A custom-built app, written in Backbone javascript and using WebSockets, streams the gathered data from the Java server back to a web-browser and the user.
The dashboard offers customers a real time view of multiple turbines, their statuses and power outputs, all on a single map, with all the metrics displayed in an easy-to-understand summary.
The app has robust systems in place to handle sessions and users (including settings and authentication), high-detail, low-detail, and lost connections.
Animated Graphs
To represent the data eloquently without bombarding the user with information, they custom-built a number of different graphs, charts, dials and gauges using Highcharts. These all update dynamically as data is sent down the WebSockets pipe.
Each turbine component has an animated visual graph representing its current status and output.
At a glance, engineers can see how individual components are performing in real time.
The graphs work across all platforms, from desktop to mobile, and the animations are smooth and seamless.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The app and supporting architecture/infrastructure needed to ultimately service upwards of 300 turbines in Netherlands alone. Today it currently serves over 500 turbines across Europe and North America.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
Very responsive, timely delivery, involved us when tricky aspects came up or decision on the direction needed to be made. Always a pleasure to work with. Focused, smart, diligent, creative.
What was your primary form of communication with Brave Digital?
In-Person Meeting
Virtual Meeting
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their passion for their creation was impressive.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Brave Digital could have done differently?

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I was the former SVP and creative director of a bipartisan PR company.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Brave Digital?
Our in-house team created a website years ago, and it started having some functionality problems. Unfortunately, we could no longer update it. We needed a new website, so we engaged Brave Digital.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We discussed our needs with Brave Digital, and they outlined a project plan for us. They first developed the content and structure of the website. Their resources did presentations to show us what the content architecture would look like. From there, we worked on the website’s design style and had some iterations to the layout. The designs and presentations were done on Figma. Then, they started developing and building the actual website.
In terms of features and functionality, we didn’t want a complicated website. We just wanted it to reflect our agency. One of the main features we required was for our staff biographies to look professional and sleek. Brave Digital looked for ways to emphasize the biographies while making it easy for us to update the content, blogs, and pages. This allowed us to be more flexible.
What is the team composition?
We worked with Hadley (Head of Design).
How did you come to work with Brave Digital?
We found Brave Digital through a recommendation from a colleague who worked with them before.
How much have you invested with them?
Our budget was around $50,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
The engagement lasted from November 2022–February 2023.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Brave Digital had strong design capabilities.
How did Brave Digital perform from a project management standpoint?
They kept organized schedules and set realistic expectations for us. To communicate, we used a combination of emails, Slack messages, and video calls.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
Working with Hadley was great.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They created nice designs, and their team could do everything from designing to developing a website. They were a one-stop shop, which was truly valuable. On top of that, their prices were competitive.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there weren’t any. It was great working with Brave Digital.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
The only challenge you’ll face if you’re in the US is the time zone difference, but it’s easy to work around this challenge nowadays.
