Data & Analytics
We help businesses make smarter decisions by turning raw data into actionable insights. We leverage data engineering, advanced analytics and machine learning technology to address a diverse range of client challenges. A typical project may include a combination of data scientists, data engineers, business analysts, software engineers and domain experts in disciplines such as geotechnical, electrical, civil and mechanical engineering.
Our data and analytics team works closely with all other parts of VALTEC to deliver exceptional results for clients, for example:
Visualize
We create engaging interactive dashboards and data visualization tools to display averages, variations, trends, relationships, and structures
Detect
We identify people, objects, assets, features, anomalies, faults, hazards, risks, actions, and behaviors. For example, we map roads from aerial images and identify road signs and pipeline faults from video footage.
Predict
We utilize metered data from residential developments to predict critical peak loads for energy consumption. We anticipate demand, timing, events, equipment failures, and cost revenue.
Optimize
We optimize site selection, routes, schedules, operational and production processes, and maintenance. Projects include HVAC energy reduction, predictive maintenance, and production process optimization.
Automate
Automating expensive, repetitive, or hazardous tasks; consulting and manufacturing activities; and evaluations.
Create
Machine learning for designs, images, processes, strategies, and experiments. We applied machine learning-based generative design to automate the configuration of a data center. We assist clients in managing, understanding, and extracting insights from their data to enhance asset management, optimize operations, make informed planning and design decisions, and execute projects more efficiently.
Our services focus on four key areas and include:
Data management
Advising on the capabilities, processes, platforms, and architectures needed to effectively and securely manage big data. Designing and implementing processes and infrastructure for data acquisition, storage, transformation, and integration. Creating interactive dashboards and reporting tools that enable clients to understand their data and gain better insights into the performance of their assets and operations.
Asset management
Analytical models for optimizing asset management or capital projects at the portfolio or program level. Automated monitoring of asset conditions and forecasting of asset health. Utilizing machine vision to more accurately, quickly, safely, and remotely detect, geolocate, and inspect geographically dispersed assets. Predictive maintenance through machine learning to optimize maintenance scheduling, road surface evaluation, and capital expenditure decisions.
Operational improvement
Optimizing logistics, scheduling, capacity assessment, root cause analysis, and production processes with machine learning. Enhancing energy efficiency of HVAC systems, pumps, and other energy-intensive systems through machine learning. Automated event detection, activity analysis, and traffic incident detection utilizing computer vision and machine learning technologies.
Planning and design
Utilizing advanced analytics enhances infrastructure planning, transportation planning, and urban design. Employing predictive modeling to forecast or assess the likelihood of events, such as predicting critical peak loads for energy usage in residential developments, to aid infrastructure planning. Automating and augmenting design processes through generative design technology. Monitoring projects and enhancing productivity. Optimizing site selection.
Visualization and Immersive Storytelling
VALTEC brings your data to life with stunning visuals and compelling narratives. Visualization and real-time rendering build anticipation, eliminate ambiguity, clarify design features, and engage stakeholders through immersive project experiences. By collaborating with our clients, we uncover, translate, and strategically convey their project’s vision through various visual mediums, from augmented reality to motion graphics to app development. Our team transforms your designs from plans and architectural models into fit-for-purpose visual formats, such as videos, before-and-after comparisons, photomontages, 360-degree panoramic videos, aerial photography, and more. High-quality digital content breathes life into your project for a range of purposes and audiences, whether it's for stakeholder engagement or promotion.
