Resource Industry Mines Data Faster with Actian and Geological Data Design

Actian

Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Real Time Analytics Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Data Management Platforms
Applicable Industries	Mining
Applicable Functions	Discrete Manufacturing Product Research & Development
Use Cases	Predictive Maintenance Remote Asset Management
Services	Data Science Services System Integration
Challenge	Geological Data Design (GDD) was facing the challenge of efficiently collecting, managing, and analyzing large volumes of exploration and mining data. The data collected during the day from various field instruments, GPS, and cameras often integrated into a very large database, in some cases hundreds of millions or even billions of records. This made it difficult for geologists to quickly analyze large volumes of sample data for complex scenarios such as project timings, cash flows, and profitability with greater sensitivity levels.

About Customer	Geological Data Design (GDD) is a specialist in the collection, management, and analysis of exploration and mining data. They provide an end-to-end mining and exploration solution that makes working with large volumes of resources data faster and simpler. Their solution, the Field Data Integrator, combines best-of-breed technologies for collecting, managing, and analyzing data more rapidly. This enables geologists to collect samples in shorter time frames and then quickly analyze large volumes of sample data. Read More
Solution	GDD selected the record-breaking analytical database Vectorwise to power their Field Data Integrator. The Field Data Integrator automatically synchronizes sample data from various field instruments, GPS, and cameras onto a 'tough' tablet using Bluetooth. Geologists enter notes directly onto the tablet using on-screen or wireless keyboards, enabling all data on samples to be collected automatically into a single source. The tablet then automatically synchronizes with a master database running Vectorwise whenever in mobile range, saving geologists time in manual data entry. GDD chose the Vectorwise database for its ability to deliver significantly faster analysis of this data on commodity hardware. Read More Log in to view content
