Computer integrated systems designed by Rita Carrier

Rita Carrier LLC builds integrated systems for organizations whose work moves through the physical world before it moves through a screen. The practice is led by developer Rita Carrier, and every engagement is delivered from design through deployment and support by the same team. Our building at 8977 S Temple Dr, West Jordan - 84088-9274, United States (US) is a working chair yard, and it exists for a reason: a system that has not survived stacked chairs, shifting dollies and a cold morning at the gate has not been tested at all.

Below are the six services we deploy most often. They are designed to work together as one assembly, but each can be engaged on its own when an operation needs to solve a specific problem first. Reach us at service@ritacarrier.lol or +16069344348 to discuss which layer to begin with.

Event Operations Platforms

An event operations platform is the spine of a live production. We design a single console that holds floor plans, load-in and load-out schedules, staffing assignments, equipment staging, incident logs and status roll-ups, so that the people running the day are not reconciling four disconnected tools while the doors are already opening. The platform is organized around the operational calendar of the venue rather than the reporting calendar of the finance office, which means the information that matters at 6 a.m. during a build is on the first screen instead of buried in a quarterly view.

We integrate the platform directly with your network and check-in systems so that a single accepted truth follows the event from the first dolly through the final teardown. Status changes propagate to the dashboards used by floor managers, and incident records attach to the specific room, stage and time where they occurred. Because we design the platform alongside the physical operation, the interface reflects how your crew actually speaks: a gate, a bay, a stack, a run of chairs.

Venue Network Deployments

A venue network has to carry ticketing traffic, badge readers, point of sale, camera feeds, staff radios and back-office systems at the same time, frequently inside buildings that were never designed for dense wireless load and sometimes inside no building at all. We begin with a physical survey of the site, measure interference and coverage, map cable paths and power, and then design an access layer that holds up when thousands of devices appear in an afternoon. Switching, cabling, rack layout and labeling are documented drop by drop so the next crew inherits a network it can actually operate.

Redundancy is designed in from the start. Failover paths, power protection and out-of-band management are treated as baseline requirements rather than upgrades sold after the first outage. Where the venue is temporary, we design portable network kits that arrive on a dolly, deploy in an hour and pack down the same way, so a festival site can have the same network discipline as a permanent hall.

Check-in and Ticketing Systems

Entry is where a system is judged in public, in real time, with a queue watching. We design scanning stations, printed and mobile ticket flows, badge issuance and reconciliation tooling that move people through a door without a line spilling into the street. The design covers the whole passage: the ticket as it is issued, the reader as it accepts or rejects, the staff screen that explains a rejection, and the reconciliation report that proves the count at the end of the night.

Because connectivity is never guaranteed, our check-in designs assume it will fail. Scanning stations queue transactions locally and sync the moment the link returns, so a dropped connection never becomes a lost attendee or a duplicated entry. We tune reader placement, antenna orientation and staff workflow together, because a scanner that reads perfectly on a bench can stutter when it is bolted to an outdoor table in July heat. Offline reconciliation, exception handling and staff training are all part of the delivered system.

Inventory Tracking Integrations

Chairs, seat pads, cabling, tablets, radios and signage all leave the yard and are supposed to come back, and the count has to be right. We integrate barcode and RFID tracking with the operational platform so that every asset carries a location and a status, and reconciliation happens at the yard gate rather than in a spreadsheet at month end. A stack of chairs becomes a tracked unit with a dolly, a strap and a destination, and the yard knows what is staged, what is out and what is due back before anyone climbs into a truck.

The integration work is where most tracking projects live or die. We connect the tracking layer to purchasing, dispatch and billing so that a scan at the gate updates availability, triggers a return reminder and feeds the invoice without a second entry. Where legacy systems must be kept, we build adapters rather than replacements, and we document every interface so the operation is never held hostage by a single vendor or a single departing employee.

Scheduling and Dispatch Tools

Scheduling and dispatch connect crews, vehicles and job sites so that the next assignment is always visible and the day can be resequenced when a venue changes its mind. We hold routing, crew certification, equipment availability and job status in one place, and we design the mobile views for a phone in a truck cab rather than a desktop in an office. Dispatchers see who is free, who is qualified and what equipment is on the dolly, and drivers see only the next clear instruction instead of a wall of detail.

The tools are built to absorb change, because change is the normal condition of field work. A canceled run releases its crew and equipment back into the pool automatically. A late return flags the following job before it becomes a crisis. Every dispatch decision leaves a record, so the operation can review what happened on a difficult day without relying on memory. The result is a day that can be rebuilt in minutes rather than argued over for hours.

On-site Support Dashboards

Once the doors open, someone has to see the whole operation at a glance. We build support dashboards that surface device health, queue depth, ticket throughput, network status and open incidents in a single view, sized for a wall display in a control room or a tablet in a technician hand. The dashboard answers the questions that matter during a live event: is anything broken, is anything backing up, and what should we do next. Alerts are tuned to the noise level of the room so the people watching the screen are not chasing false alarms while a real problem hides in the clutter.

Dashboards are only as useful as the runbooks behind them, so we deliver both together. Each alert maps to a documented response, each response maps to a named owner, and each incident closes with a note that feeds the next event. Support becomes a designed part of the system rather than a phone number that rings into the dark.

Rita Carrier LLC opens its winter season window for systems design and deployment engagements, and the yard crew is scheduling site surveys and integration builds across the region through the coming months.

Process overview

Four passes from first walkthrough to steady support

Every service above runs through the same four passes. We begin with an operations walkthrough, spending real time inside the load-in and load-out routine and interviewing the people who live in the system. We move to integrated design, where network, device and software layers are documented together so no layer is chosen in isolation. We build and test in the yard, breaking things on purpose so the version that reaches your site has already survived the worst cases we can invent. We finish with support and tuning, where dashboards and runbooks keep the system aligned with the operation as it grows.

Because the same team designs, deploys and supports the work, nothing is lost in a handoff. The engineer who selected a scanner is the engineer who answers when that scanner misbehaves, and that shortens every resolution path. It is a slower way to begin and a much faster way to live.

Pass One

Operations walkthrough

A written operating picture of how people, equipment and data actually move through your day.

Pass Two

Integrated design

One readable package covering topology, devices, integration points and software flows.

Pass Three

Yard-staged deployment

Builds proved against stacked chairs, shifting dollies and cold gates before they ship.

Pass Four

Support and tuning

Dashboards, runbooks and tuning that keep the system honest as the operation changes.
