Case studies, and the edge cases nobody writes down.

Written by the engineers who did the work, with the failure rates and the parts that went badly left in. If a post has a number in it, there is a measurement behind it.

Case studies

Work, described in enough detail to be checkable.

A hairline quotation document with toggled line items. 2026-08-10 Ledger: the quotation that is a web page, and asks the ERP before it shows a price Customers toggle options and the total follows. In production, Odoo owns the prices and totals. Try the demo and see how the quotation becomes an order. Reference build A hairline process schematic with instrument bubbles. 2026-08-09 Muster: a telemetry wall that people still trust in week three The sensors already exist and nobody opens the vendor portal. One live schematic fixes that — until alarm fatigue kills it. The build, running. Reference build An isometric exploded view of a gearbox drawn in hairlines. 2026-07-30 Section: a technical illustration that comes apart as you scroll Exploded-view product animation without video: generated isometric SVG driven by one scalar, from scroll, a slider or a timeline. Live demo. Studio piece A schematic instrument: pump, valve, vessel and a gauge, drawn in hairlines. 2026-07-22 Signal: a Rive-class state machine, in 12.8 kB, with no runtime to download Interactive vector animation without Rive or Lottie. A live demo of a four-state SVG state machine in 12.8 kB — and when to use Rive anyway. Studio piece The Powertechnic home lift configurator: a 3D lift car in a glass shaft with a configuration panel on the right. 2026-06-18 A home lift you can specify in the browser, in 3D, before anyone visits the site Powertechnic sells home lifts with 66 finishes across 16 surfaces. We built a real-time 3D configurator: Babylon.js, glTF geometry, KTX2 textures. Case study A hairline diagram of local storage with an offsite replica. 2026-05-27 When the cloud bill grows faster than the studio: Nextcloud for an interior design firm A design practice generating terabytes of renders and CAD. When self-hosted Nextcloud beats a per-user subscription, and when it does not. SolutionsInfrastructure The WeFresh logo animating: the fruit outline and leaves draw themselves, then the wordmark appears. 2026-05-09 The loading screen is part of the brand: animating the WeFresh mark On a grocery storefront the loading screen is the most-repeated moment in the shop. We gave WeFresh their own mark there instead of a stock spinner. Case study A live Hyunix tour: an overhead panorama of Nirvana Memorial Park Kulai with twenty-one hotspot markers laid over the columbarium halls. 2026-04-14 360° and VR tours: we build the platform, Hyunix owns the customer Hyunix shoots, brands and sells virtual tours across Johor. ZYNTEIRO builds and operates the platform underneath. How that split works. Case study A pupil in the school's yellow uniform standing at the wall-mounted facial recognition screening terminal, photographed from behind, with an engineer steadying the device by its bezel. 2026-01-15 A thermometer that recognises faces, and the teachers it gave an hour back to A facial recognition temperature terminal deployed at a Batu Pahat primary school, and what hardware deployment teaches that software does not.

Engineering notes and guides

Things we had to find out the hard way.

A hairline diagram of an invoice being validated and returned. 2026-08-08 LHDN e-Invoice in 2026: where the phases actually landed, and what it means in Odoo The RM1 million exemption, the cancelled Phase 5 and a relaxation running to 31 December 2027, plus the four data problems to fix first. Managed ERPCompliance The zynAIR wordmark, set large on a dark plate. 2026-08-02 What “managed Odoo” actually buys you, change by change The interface work and the fixed edge cases that separate a zynAIR tenant from a stock Odoo 18 install, with a live before-and-after you can click. Managed ERPEngineering note A hairline diagram of a local inference server beside a document store. 2026-07-15 AI that runs in your building: open weights, real hardware, honest limits Local model deployment, retrieval over your own documents and autonomous agents. What the hardware costs, what it is good at, where it is oversold. AISolutions A hairline diagram of a bounded tool surface. 2026-07-08 An AI assistant inside Odoo where every write is guarded, and nothing bills per token It does the mechanical work and prepares every posting and import for a person to release — on an existing Claude Code or Codex subscription, not API tokens. Managed ERPAI A hairline checklist diagram. 2026-06-24 The unglamorous list: what an IT company should be doing for an SME Backups you have restored from, MFA, an offboarding checklist, patching, a network diagram and an asset register, ranked by what causes damage. ConsultingSolutions A hairline diagram of a data inventory. 2026-06-02 PDPA after the 2024 amendments: what a Malaysian SME actually has to do A DPO, a 72-hour breach clock, processors newly on the hook and a mandatory impact assessment. What the amended PDPA means for a Malaysian SME. ConsultingCompliance A hairline diagram of repeated queries fanning out from one page render. 2026-02-20 A twenty-two-second checkout, and the customer who caused it One customer with ~900 saved addresses turned Odoo 18 checkout into thousands of recursive queries. How to find an N+1 in Odoo, and the fix. Managed ERPEngineering note
