A circle of source systems – sensors, websites, files, web services, ERP, MES, quality management, controllers and facility management – around a puzzled workforce in the middle.

Current Situation

  • Decentralized system landscape
  • Difficult to interpret individual reports
  • Cross-system analysis impossible
The same source systems, their data flowing through the ETL software into a central data warehouse in the middle.

Data extraction and preparation

  • Using powerful ETL-Software BitZuzla
  • Flexible connection of all relevant company data
  • Unification of relational data and time series data
  • Easy transformation, quality check and merging
  • Central, scalable data warehouse with comprehensible meta model
The central data warehouse feeding reports, analyses and models, and returning results to the source systems through bidirectional interfaces.

Cross-system applications & closed loop

  • Reports and Analysis
  • Statistical Models and Machine Learning
  • Feedback of calculation results in the main systems
  • Active intervention in processes
  • Bidirectional interfaces between individual systems

We guide you

through the whole process

  1. Let’s get to know each other first

    Every company is unique. Even within an industry sector there are usually fundamental differences in the way of working, as well as structures that have grown over a long period of time. Therefore, in the first step, we dive deeper into the existing circumstances to develop a basic understanding of the situation.

    1. Identification of relevant business processes
    2. Derivation of the most important goals and control parameters for process optimization and decarbonization
    3. Planning of a structured implementation
  2. Combine all relevant company data

    A heterogeneous, decentralized system landscape with many individual reports usually prevents comprehensive data analysis. We support you in setting up a data warehouse that is individually designed to your needs and connects various of your source systems. Based on the existing infrastructure and by taking commercial and technical factors into account, we will find the most suitable solution for your requirements.

    Our advantages:

    • Full data transparency
    • Avoidance of manual input tasks
    • Reduction of personal dependencies
    • Easy-to-understand meta model
    • Versatile connectivity options
  3. Visualization and reporting

    After all relevant data is centrally available in meaningful structure, it can easily be used as a basis for all kinds of cross-system reports. Also, in this area we don’t want to establish new business intelligence systems in your company without necessity. We would be happy to support you with the integration into any existing applications as long as they are suitable for your needs.

    • Visual check of data quality
    • Expertise in energy optimization, CO2 and sustainability reporting
    • Management reporting with meaningful data visualization as a solid basis for decision-making
    • Compact dashboards
    • Individual reports according to your specification

    Expertise in:

    • Smart Meter- and Grid-Management
    • Energy Trading and Optimization
    • Sales and Distribution
    • Production
    • Warehousing and Logistics
    • Controlling
    • Infrastructure-Management
    • Natural Hazards
    • IT strategy and system architecture
    • Artificial Intelligence
  4. Data analysis and modeling

    To be able to draw the right conclusions for process optimization from extensive data, simple reporting is usually not enough. On the other hand, the complexity of many mathematical modeling processes often represents a major hurdle in practice. Using modern data-driven analysis tools, we will show you how you can independently reveal the hidden relationships in your processes on a visual level and bring improvement potentials into implementation.

    • Visually supported data exploration
    • Pre-built dashboards tailored to specific use cases
    • Easy data cleansing
    • Derivation of easy-to-use models for What-If analyses
    • Know-how transfer into your organization
  5. IT consulting

    With every digitization project, the question arises at some point: Where to go with the data? Into a cloud or rather locally? Which services should be used and how do they fit into the existing infrastructure? Today’s possibilities are almost endless and subject of constant change. Many solutions that promise perfectionism in theory later show their pitfalls during implemented in the productive environment. Benefit from our wide experience and avoid wrong decisions at an early stage.

    • Evaluation of services, providers, tools
    • Cost transparency
    • Creation of prerequisites (e.g. interfaces)
    • Implementation
