PART 1: Intro To JasperReports IO And How To Build Your First Report

Editor's Notes

• #68: The story Melbourne Airport is an extremely important tourist and business gateway for the state of Victoria: they expect to be serving about 64 million passengers by 2033, which is double where they are today. To service this growth, they needed to be smarter with how they used all of their assets, with the goal of moving from a mini city to a smart city, providing major value-add for travelers, airport businesses, and the overall airport itself. But to become a smart city, you need to move from being reactive to more proactive, and then eventually to predictive. And to do that, a number of things needed to fall into place. Not just collecting data, but understanding the context of that data and turning it into reliable information sources that can be used to make informed decisions. Part of the challenge was to break down silos. There's a huge number of working assets that are a part of that customer journey that have to come together to make it useful from an operational perspective. Given the complex nature of the airport business, they needed a platform that could support not just TODAY’s strategic vision, but something that is still going to be evolving 10 years from now, a foundation that is vendor agnostic and allows connecting a large number of devices -- any device whether an IT system, a control system, or another type of asset -- and then present that in a user friendly way. TIBCO technology is the key: TIBCO StreamBase®, TIBCO® Live Datamart, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™, and TIBCO Messaging™ enable the information to come together. The outcomes? Operational Efficiency and Customer Journey Improvements "Resolving some of the challenges allowed us to move ahead with the opening of the T4 terminal in a far more operationally efficient manner, without major increases in staffing," says Vic Raymond, ICT Planning and Delivery Manager at Melbourne Airport. "We've also been able, in many instances, to improve the customer journey through the airport. We have a long way to go there, but we're on that path right now." Fast Delivery "One of the requirements was to deliver the platform in quite a compressed timeframe, which would only be possible using off-the-shelf configuration components rather than developing software," says Andrew May, senior consultant with Nukon, a TIBCO partner and systems integrator for Melbourne Airport. "Considering the difficulty and complexity of the people and technology landscape at the airport, we were able to deliver the platform build in roughly 12 weeks, which is remarkable given the number of applications we've been able to integrate and the overall user interface result.” Enabling Situational Awareness "The situational awareness platform is one component of a much larger project," says Andrew May, senior consultant with Nukon, a TIBCO partner and systems integrator for Melbourne Airport. "We've been able to leverage all those sources of truth, from aircraft scheduling, aircraft real-time positioning, fire, baggage handling, and other core platforms. We're bringing all of that information together in a cohesive way for enhancing the ability of the Enhanced Airport Coordination Center (EACC) operators to get a full understanding in real time of the current airport operational situation."
