Data Platform - the centerpiece where it all comes together - Part 1

8 minute read

Published:

A data platform serves as the “link” between IoT connectivity and AI services. It enables the seamless integration and consolidation of data from various sources while acting as a robust foundation for AI services. Additionally, a data platform can provide data reliability, scalability, and robustness while also considering security, governance, and cost constraints. In this Blogpost I will describe some basics of a dataplatform and the requirements a dataplatform should fulfill. In the following blogpost (part 2) I will describe the components of a data platform as well as its functionalities.

Connectivity - the basis for local and global data exchange - Part 2

19 minute read

Published:

In the first part of this blogpost series, fundamental and strategical questions about connectivity have been adressed. This second part delves into the operationalization of hardware components and communication protocols essential for cloud connectivity.

WHY move the local machine world into the cloud at all? Is local connectivity on the machine side not sufficient? If I want to bring my local machine world into the cloud, which data integration strategy is the right one for me? These are precisely the questions I address within this blogpost and the underlying whitepaper.

How to get from Sensor Data to a digital product

5 minute read

“We should digitalise our product! Digital twin, predictive maintenance, intelligent quality control: can’t we offer that too?” Service managers from the mechanical engineering sector are increasingly confronted with questions like these. Do such questions sound familiar to you? This blogpost together with follow up blogposts as well as the underlying whitepaper provides the technical and strategic answers as well as a fact-based introduction to the world of product digitalisation.

Using AWS Lambda with custom container image for Machine Learning inference

8 minute read

Published:

Using serverless offerings from cloud providers has many advantages like no provisioning and managing of servers and automatic scaling. But serverless functions also come with some limitiations like complicated deployment package management, limited package size and limited RAM. Especially if you want to use lambda functions for Machine Learning model inference, these limitations can be quite restrictive. AWS also recognized that so since December 2020 they extended their lambda offering by container image support. In this post I’ll describe my experiences using aws lambda with custom container images and describe the ups and downs of this approach.

How Data Science was used to optimize energy consumption of transalpine oil pipeline

Published:

In this talk, I give some insights about a Data Science project I did at TAL Group. TAG Group is a pipeline operator that transports crude oil from the Mediteranean Sea all over the alps to different rafineries in Austria, Germany and Czech Republic. Therefore many pumps are operating all along the pipeline and in this project we identified inefficies and its root causes using Machine Learning.

Data Science - Der Weg vom Sensor in die Cloud bis hin zur Endanwendung

Published:

In this talk at VDI conference, I describe different views on Data and Data Science depending if you are a plant operators or a plant manufacturer. Furthermore, I give some insights about IT Infrastructure that brings sensor data from machines into the cloud in order to provide data driven services. Finally, I show my view on how Data Science is evolving in copounding technologies.

Praxisbericht: ML Ops für Condition-Monitoring Anwendungen

Published:

In this talk I worked out some talkeaways regarding MLOPS from one of our customer projects: Firstly, a clear understanding of the importance of MLOps for the long-term operation of machine learning models. Secondly, I gave Insight into which problems AWS Sagemaker can and cannot solve (model registry, multi-model endpoints, serverless endpoints,…). Finally, I conveyed an understanding of a service architecture that promotes seamless collaboration between data science and operations teams.

How MLOps Practices Speed Up the Development of Condition Monitoring Services at KSB SE & Co. KgaA

Published:

At KSB SE & Co. KGaA, the number of productive ML-models increased with the growing customer base of its digital product KSB Guard. As a result, the need for a clear separation of responsibilities between data scientists and operations increased. In particular, the further development of already productive models became a pain point. In this talk I presented a service architecture that promotes seamless collaboration between data science and operations teams.

How to get from Sensor Data to an AI based Realtime Application - A technical Deep Dive

Published:

Which components does it need to create a predictive Maintenance application based on vibration data created by an industrial machine? That is a question that I get asked from many manufacturing companies that think about extending their traditional business by digital solutions. In this talk I try to answer that question leading through a showcase project and explaining each commponent of the project.
