Machine Learning & Predictive Analytics for Leading Equipment Manufacturer

  • Problem In Hand

For large machines, the complexity of the products, components, parts and machine data requires big data integration. This allows for a richer analytics environment, and the ability to store and process a variety of data to gain new insights and ultimately to use Machine Learning for predictive maintenance.

  • Client Challenges
A large equipment manufacturer wanted to understand the behavior of their products in the field and ultimately improve their reliability by predicting component failure and taking proactive action to repair/replace it. This would result in a saving of millions of dollars for their business operations. The analysis was difficult because of data being in silos: RDBMS with product and components metadata, file systems with historical sensor data, streams of real-time sensor data, etc.
  • Our Approach
Solving the problem required the ability to do analysis by combining data from all these sources. The solution that was designed and implemented involved creating a modern data lake using Hadoop into which all the previous silos of data were integrated. Cleaned and processed data was then loaded into a traditional data warehouse as well. We designed a solution to capture, store, process the data in Hadoop and integrate with Teradata. Parallelizable algorithms were used to process the huge volume of data that is not suitable for processing in relational databases. The new architecture delivered great performance on interactive analytics performed by the data scientists, while also providing a richer, integrated data set for aggregated analytics using the data warehouse.
  • Our Solutions

Ingesting the sensor data provided several benefits. We were able to:

  • Build a cost effective solution
  • Provide great performance for interactive analytics functions
  • Allow for new analyses and Machine Learning for predictive maintenance; since all data was saved in Hadoop

Agile Transformation for Leading Communication Provider

  6. With regard to share achievements and experiences obtained and to lead change among the whole enterprise, Enterprise Adoption will be followed.
  • Steps Taken
In the first step, a pilot team was established and for several Sprints its progress had been tracked. Due to the observed improvements of the pilot team especially in productivity, the pilot team had tripled its throughput rate at the end of its first three months, then, it had been decided to move forward with the second step, scaling step, via establishing new Scrum teams. Around five months after moving forward with the scaling step, Scrum teams’ throughput was observed to be two times more than before. In addition to that, significant reductions were observed in defect rate & customer complaints inside these Scrum teams. These success stories of Agile teams then lead to an organizational change, and an autonomous Agile unit, which is called Agile Solutions, was established. Currently, Agile Solutions is actively working with its six Scrum teams inside and new Agile teams with new responsibilities is on the way to be established. Next step is to grow and empower the Agile Solutions and then, to move forward to the third step, enterprise adoption, in order to grow Agile culture enterprise wide to be able to achieve more benefits out of it

Data Warehouse Modernization for a Leading Bank

  • Goal
Our client was facing a very large and expensive upgrade cycle, as a large amount of unused data was draining computational resources and taking up space in the EDW. The bank’s response was to switch to bigger appliances, but we were able to find a better solution to upgrade their architecture and revamp their monolithic data warehouse.
  • Approach

Genesis NGN Consultants quickly helped with the following:

  1. The solution that was designed and implemented was integrating Hadoop into the bank’s existing data environment. All raw data flowed into a Hadoop cluster. The data that was not actively used was moved from the Data Warehouse into Hadoop. At the same time, the scheduled ETL jobs that could be performed in Hadoop were ported over from Teradata. This combination reduced the processing and storage load on the EDW, while also providing the ability store all raw data in Hadoop.
  2. The new architecture delivered great performance on interactive analytics functions, improved the capacity and efficiency of the Enterprise Data Warehouse, and saved the client a significant amount of money.
