Big Data Engine

Scalable, plug’n’play softeware infrastructure enabling computational models and real-time predictions, offline non real time model processing, with a single window to access all insightful information

Teaser

Unique Value Proposition:

The Big Data Engine (BDE) is the underlying software infrastructure of PIXEL fitting the most demanding data needs of all stakeholders in the maritime industry, modular and flexible by plug’n’play FIWARE data collection agents, and ready for 3rd party integration through REST API and integration with Port Community Systems. It was built in a lean product development process with decision-makers of small, medium and large ports to fit the data challenges of most European ports.
Technology
Technology:

PIXEL’s core technology is open source and is based on FIWARE data collection agents to plugin heterogeneous real-time stream data sources into the Big Data engine, and on elasticsearch and kafka, sourced over REST API, and served with an advanced model manager that can describe and manage different models and predictive algorithms with different inputs and implementation approaches.
