Case studies

Data, Big Data and cloud in practice

Selected BCF projects where data and infrastructure were at the heart of the solution. Each one describes the client's problem, what we built and the result.

Data Lake for vessel and fleet data

Problem
Data from many vessels was scattered across separate systems and files, so fleet-wide analysis and reporting meant manual collection every time.
What we did
A central Data Lake with ingestion pipelines that load raw vessel data, keep it in a scalable store and expose curated datasets for analytics.
Result
One repository of fleet data, ready for analytics and reporting without manual data gathering.

Big Data platform for customer service productivity

Problem
Large volumes of operational data from the customer service team gave no clear picture of workload and performance.
What we did
A Big Data processing pipeline that collects operational events, aggregates them at scale and turns them into performance indicators on dashboards.
Result
Managers track team productivity on clear, regularly refreshed indicators instead of ad hoc spreadsheets.

Reliable sensor data from vessels with intermittent connectivity

Problem
Sensor data on board had to reach shore-side systems even when the vessel's link was unavailable for long periods.
What we did
Acquisition software with local buffering and a store-and-forward transmission layer that sends the collected data on once the link returns.
Result
Data is collected continuously and delivered to shore-side systems when connectivity is back, without gaps.

Monitoring on-board IT infrastructure to plan maintenance before failures

Problem
Failures of on-board equipment were discovered only after they affected operations.
What we did
Health-data collection on board and analysis that flags degrading components before they fail.
Result
Maintenance is planned from data instead of reacting to failures.

Remote reading and control of water pumps

Problem
Pump stations had to be checked and adjusted on site.
What we did
Integration of pump controllers with remote data reading and control over industrial protocols.
Result
Operators read pump status and control pumps remotely.

Platform for monitoring medicament usage

Problem
Medication usage data was hard to collect consistently and had to stay protected as sensitive health information.
What we did
A platform that gathers usage data into a secured central store with controlled access and builds usage reports on top of it.
Result
Medication usage is monitored and analysed in one secure environment.
