BIG DATA Solutions
The role of the data economy in the corporate sector is growing every year. More and more companies are using various data analysis and Big Data tools, recognizing their efficiency-enhancing potential. One of the best tools to leverage the data assets stored in IT systems is the use of Big Data-based data analysis and data mining, which can be used to effectively support the achievement of strategic, planning and operational goals.

IoT – Big Data data collection system
Our Trilobita IoT Big Data Collection System was specifically designed for the comprehensive monitoring and data analysis of water treatment plants, waterworks and wastewater treatment plants.
The Trilobita IoT BD system consists of two components:
(1) An on-site data collection hardware unit that can receive signals from digital and analog sensors built into the equipment
(2) A central server application, which receives and stores the measurement data acquired by the data collection hardware, as well as makes the current and historical data visible through easy-to-use client monitors.
The central system and user interface are both suitable for operational monitoring of all customers of the water purification service provider, as well as for providing information to the customer’s specialists via screens with restricted access.
The central server solution provides complete data protection and the strictest access control for the customer’s data, both on a central server providing a private cloud and as installed for the customer.
Once the central server system is installed, it can be continuously upgraded with the continuous deployment of data collection hardware units and the addition of built-in data collectors to containerised products.

Research and Development with Trilobita
Phases of our R&D projects
R&D Project planning
In the R&D project planning phase, we help our clients find the most optimal use of resources. We prepare the financial and technical design of the project and prepare the proposal for the selected funding scheme.
Applied research
In the applied research phase, we prepare the necessary research plans. We carry out and document the series of experiments based on our research methodology.
Evaluation of research results
We evaluate the results of the series of experiments using various data analysis methods and prepare the research summary document.
System Planning
Based on the research results, we design the systems for our customers. We use our own system design methodology and tools for the planning.
Development and testing
Our development methodology combines elements of classic waterfall and agile methodologies, flexibly adapting to the needs of the given client and project. The efficiency of our development and testing work is further enhanced by a number of our already tested, ready-to-use system modules.
Support
After the completion of our R&D projects, we always provide follow-up and support services to our customers for the solutions we have delivered. Our goal is to establish successful, long-term partnership with our clients.
We believe that every hour spent on design pays off many times over in the implementation and roll-out of our systems. Our ergonomically designed user interfaces provide our customers with a new user experience and ease of use.
