The model is rarely the problem.

Getting it into production is.

A good model alone is not enough. What matters is whether it works reliably with your data, integrates into existing systems and can be used in day-to-day operations. That is where we come in.

GENERATION AND DISPATCH PLANNING

Forecast generation, load and dispatch based on your operational data, weather data and historical operating patterns. The models are continuously updated with new data and support day-to-day planning. Typical applications include generation forecasting for hydro, wind and PV, portfolio dispatch planning, and forecasting for balancing groups and energy trading.

CONDITION MONITORING AND ANOMALY DETECTION

Your assets have been generating valuable operational data for years. We use this data to model the normal behaviour of individual assets and detect deviations early. This helps identify unusual patterns in turbines, generators, transformers and pumps before they develop into larger issues. Unlike fixed thresholds, the model reflects the actual behaviour of the individual asset.

IMAGE-BASED INSPECTION

Inspection images of power lines, substations and other infrastructure can be analysed automatically. Drone, helicopter and camera images are systematically analysed and turned into structured findings. This makes large image sets easier to review and helps teams identify relevant anomalies faster.

Models that run in production

Development and operation

Data science and software engineering come from the same team. We develop the model, integrate it into your systems and look after it in day-to-day operation.

The basis is navio, our own MLOps platform. Versioning and monitoring run on it, drift is detected, and models can be rolled out down to edge hardware at the asset.

VERBUND

Planning software for hydropower plants, integrated with existing operational data and optimization systems. In 2024, the application controlled the generation of around 5,000 GWh of electricity.

Wien Energie

We developed models for Wien Energie that predict disruptions and their urgency at an early stage. The solution enables automated alerts and forecasts ranging from seven days to one month in advance.

TTTech Industrial

With TTTech Industrial, our edge deployment runs on the Nerve platform. That suits environments where models have to compute directly at the asset rather than in a data centre.

The collaboration with craftworks was open, transparent and professional. craftworks‘ experience in working with industrial applications and complex architectures provided a valuable contribution for the project. In addition, it was important to us to develop a solution which would be easy to use and support our co-workers in their everyday work.

With craftworks, it was simple and uncomplicated. After an initial conversation, we could start a project within a short amount of time. While the data scientists at craftworks supported us in drawing valuable conclusions from our data, the close collaboration together with their domain experts made it possible to have fast results within a month.

Your data stays where it belongs

Architecture and compliance

Architecture and operations are designed around your requirements. Data sovereignty, integration and regulatory requirements are considered from the start.
