Data Science

Our areas of expertise

• Data analysis & statistics

  Modern production-accompanying measurement systems often generate enormous amounts of data. But which parameters can be used to check the stability of a process? Which strategies or analysis methods are required to prove or disprove a suspected correlation? Can the relevant process-related variables be determined with sufficient certainty using the recorded data? These are typical questions that frequently arise in this context, and we provide the answers.

  Measurement data is not only generated during production. In the development of new products, long series of tests often have to be analyzed, e.g., with the aim of demonstrating the superiority of a new approach. Such tests are commonplace in the pharmaceutical industry. In other industries, too, long series of measurements often mark the beginning of a new development or form the basis for evaluating a solution, e.g., when testing a prototype.

  The importance of applied statistics extends beyond the analysis of data that has already been collected. It also forms the basis for planning measurement procedures. This involves, for example, determining how large a sample must be in order to verify or refute a particular statement. Statistics also play an important role in the selection of a suitable measurement method.

  Benefit from our extensive experience in the field of data analysis and applied statistics and put this knowledge to work for you. With our help, you will be able to use your data in a results-oriented manner. We analyze your data, whether as part of a one-time analysis project or through the development and implementation of evaluation software that creates the appropriate algorithms for data analysis.

  Our services:

  • Statistical analyses and machine learning
  • Data analysis, methods, and strategies for evaluating large data sets
  • Development of algorithms for data analysis
  • Parameter studies, planning of measuring stations and measuring methods
• Algorithms & Signal Processing

  Based on existing data sets, we develop evaluation methods that give you an optimal view of your data. Modern, powerful algorithms reveal trends and correlations that help you, for example, to detect errors in production processes, identify quality problems, or develop a new, more powerful product.

  Data collected in measurement processes is the raw material from which knowledge is gained through appropriate analysis. Choosing a suitable analysis method, translating it into a powerful algorithm, and finally implementing it in software are the prerequisites for gaining relevant insights from extensive measurements.

  In addition to the pure evaluation method, a targeted evaluation of measurements often requires suitable processing of the raw measurement data. This involves processing one or more measurement signals with the aim of improving signal quality and enabling subsequent evaluation.

  We develop algorithms for your measuring station for the optimal preparation of measurement data and for data evaluation with the best utilization of the measurement effect. Our focus is on generating additional customer benefits, reducing measurement uncertainty, and increasing the robustness of the measurement.

  Our services:

  • Algorithms for analyzing large/complex data sets
  • Development of evaluation algorithms and implementation in software
  • Development of practical signal processing routines and their implementation
  • Implementation in tools for use in, for example, production, development, or quality assurance
  • Parameter studies, strategies for parameter optimization
• Modeling & Simulation

  Computer-aided simulation of complex physical and technical processes is the key to a better understanding of technical systems and the basis for their optimization and further development. This is because if a process can be replicated in a model, the effects of deviations or errors on the process result can be analyzed in the model. With the help of our data mining service, you can easily review improvement approaches and test and directly compare different optimization strategies.

  Conversely, deviations in a process that are observed in measurements can also be directly attributed to a cause of error.

  Our services:

  • Data mining
  • Modeling of complex systems
  • Physical modeling
  • Development of dynamic models using Matlab^® and Simulink^®
• MATLAB & Simulink Services

  We offer a wide range of consulting services for your MATLAB® or Simulink® project. This includes programming and model creation or analysis and optimization of existing software.

  In addition, we are happy to advise you on the use of other programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or R, as well as on switching from other programming languages to MATLAB® and vice versa.

  Our services and application examples:

  • Automation of data acquisition processes
  • Statistical analysis methods and their implementation
  • Model-based design
  • Simulation of physical systems
  • Development and control of measuring stations
  • Image and video analysis and recording
  • Development of customized programs for the automation of laboratory measurements
  • Creation of a MATLAB® app or standalone application (.exe) with MATLAB® App Designer (GUI)
  • Customization for report generation from Simulink® models
  • Takeover of partial or complete projects
• Development of measuring stations

  We advise you from the conception to the completion of customer-specific measuring stations. One of our main areas of focus is the development of optical test benches for a wide range of applications. These measuring systems can be used in R&D, prototyping, and testing. You benefit from the expertise of our optics experts and the many years of experience of our data scientists!

  Our services:

  • System design and conception (camera, lenses, lighting)
  • Selection and procurement of suitable optical components
  • Design of electronic and mechanical components and assembly by our long-standing partner company
  • Control of image and data acquisition
  • Image and data acquisition and processing with Matlab®, also available as a standalone application (.exe) on request
  • Creation of graphical user interfaces that can also be easily operated by laboratory staff

  On request, our long-standing partner company Konstuktiv can implement the mechanical design for the hardware in parallel with our development of the measuring station software. In the course of various projects, we have been able to provide our customers with complete systems within a very short time.
