Being the last one on the last day of the presentation in the Side Track.

I'm impressed that there are still people here that are not sleeping.

Adverbs of manner

It's professionally what we call this slot the twilight zone.

And I know that you guys are tired after two days of conferencing and learning and JavaScripting.

So, I hope that this talk is going to be a little fun for you.

That said, you know, like I've added a few jokes here and there.

But my wife tells me that my dad jokes are absolutely terrible.

So, we'll see how that works out for you guys.

You might remember me from such amazing projects such as: The Java servlet API.

I'm sure right now you're actually wondering whether I am at the right conference here.

You see, like a few years back when I was living in Tokyo, I met this fine gentleman.

And he's one of the creators of, for example, Brooklyn Jazz.

And thanks to the beatings of these fine gentlemen I kind of like praise the Lord.

And converted to this wonderful world of Node.js.

Let me tell you, life since then has been all ponies and rainbows.

I know that I'm gonna anger some of you here.

I am not a, you know, like I'm definitely not into Star Wars.

Let's get into the nitty gritty details of this talk.

So, today we're talking about the almighty toilet paper roll.

And now I'm sure that you're really wondering, am I at the right conference?

How many of you are familiar with this wonderful object?

[ Laughter ] I mean, you know, if not this one, we can

For your health, I really hope that you had a good use of this today.

You see, a couple of years back I took a job at a company called Korber, a big giant in

They are one of the largest manufacturers of industrial machines.

Including, amongst a thousand other things, tobacco machines, palletizing equipment, we

actually do produce machines that produce toilet paper and kitchen rolls.

And we develop digital applications for our customers, right?

More specifically, I am in a team that develops this wonderful app.

K Edge is an app that has been designed to offer shift support in for the operators of

On KEdge, as you can see there, like, you know, operators of operators of these machines

can actually see their production stats like how many logs they have produced, the average

speed at which the machine is running, downtimes and whatnot.

They can see the telemetry from the machine itself.

You can see actually the graph over there.

We take that graph, we analyze the speed, we create yellow segments or red segments.

Yellow segments are reduced productivity so that when we are below that green line you

And the red segments is when the machine is actually stopped.

So, what happens, the operator at that point has the ability to create a digital report

So, KEdge is deployed as on a tablet that goes alongside the traditional HMI.

The HMI is that big computer you see there that controls actually the machine itself.

And the operators use the tablet to create a digital journal of their shift.

And, you know, replace their old paperbased trail of stuff.

So, let's look a little bit about how KEdge is built.

So, this is a quick outline of our architecture.

It's deployed statically on Amazon S3, served through Cloud front and a login will be handled

And backup communication goes through Redux to a bunch of JavaScript microservices which

have been deployed as Amazon Lambda functions and therefore accessible via the AWS gateway.

Nobody cares about another god damned React app.

You know, if we were to talk about this, you might just as well go out to the beach and

You know, enjoy the heat and so on and so forth.

And so, what's actually interesting about what we do?

Well, to figure that out, we have to see how toilet paper is actually produced, right?

So, thanks to the National Geographic, this is how a modern toilet paper factory looks

This has been shot at one of the biggest producers of toilet paper here in the European market.

And you can actually hear how loud this place is.

Right? [it's loud] Giant factories, just to make toilet paper.

But easier on the ears, let's look a little bit at how our production line is actually
