In an increasingly data-driven world, efficient data processing is crucial for
businesses to stay competitive. A Swiss Real-time Location System (CHIP) producer faced
challenges with their on-premise big data system, leading them to explore innovative
solutions. Here’s how we transformed their operations by implementing Sky Computing
Architecture, enabling rapid data processing and reporting.
The Challenge: Inefficient On-Premise Processing
The CHIP producer had a legacy system that collected manufacturing data from around
the globe through file uploads to a single on-premise location. This setup allowed
them to gather up to 750,000 files per day; however, processing these files in batch
took an arduous 2-3 days before they could report and derive meaningful insights.
This delay hindered their ability to respond swiftly to operational needs and make
informed decisions.
The Solution: Sky Computing Architecture
To address these inefficiencies, we implemented the Sky Computing Architecture,
which began with integrating existing common services from both AWS and Azure. This
multi-cloud approach allowed the CHIP producer to leverage the strengths of
different cloud platforms while maintaining flexibility and reducing vendor lock-in.
Edge Nodes for Real-Time Processing
Next, we deployed Edge Nodes directly at the manufacturing sites. This strategic
move enabled real-time data processing, focusing on collecting only valuable error
and test result data. The processed information was then automatically synchronized
with the Magna-db residing on the Sky Computing layer, ensuring that critical data
was readily available.
Rapid Reporting and Enhanced Insights
As a result of this transformation, the customer experienced a remarkable
improvement in their reporting capabilities. Within just one hour, they had valuable
information ready for reporting in Data Insight or through other preferred data
visualization tools. This swift access to data empowered them to make timely
decisions and optimize their manufacturing processes.
Conclusion: Empowering Future Growth
The implementation of Sky Computing Architecture has revolutionized how the Swiss CHIP
producer processes and utilizes data. With enhanced efficiency and speed, they are now
better equipped to tackle future challenges and seize new opportunities in the ever-evolving
landscape of real-time location systems.
