Why AI?
Efficient handling of limited resources and comprehensible decision-making is exceedingly important not only for our society, but also for companies. At the same time, due to rapid digitization the amount of stored data is increasing exponentially in many sectors.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods can be used to identify and generalize patterns in data. In addition, they allow to automatize and objectify complex processes in decision-making. Altogether, AI has the potential to achieve significant efficiency increases in many processes through predictions, analyses and automatization.
Services
Decision and forecast models
Machine and deep learning models achieve the highest performance in most regression and classification tasks. With a sufficient amount of data, there is great potential for significantly more reliable forecast and decision models. Our services include the full range of the Data Science life cycle:
- Initial consultations and analysis of potential
- Data acquisition and pre-processing
- Feature Engineering
- Creation of efficient data pipelines
- Development of prediction and decision models based on state-of-the-art AI methods
- Participation in integrating the solution into the existing IT system
- Implementation of Explainable AI (XAI) methods
- Ongoing maintenance and model adjustments
Data acquisition and preparation
At the start of most projects, it is necessary to collect and process data. Errors in these initial steps can have drastic effects on the progress of projects. With our experience in researching and processing environmental data, including remote sensing data and big data, we can provide a reliable and cleanly processed data basis for a smoothly progressing project.
Statistical consulting
Statistical methods provide objective insights based on data and serve as a basis for answering economic and scientific questions. We have the necessary experience as well as hardware and software capacities to be able to carry out big data evaluations.
Engineering
We have extensive experience in the field of hydrological and hydraulic modeling – from local to regional scale. Additionally, we offer the following services:
- Inspections and measurements
- Hydrological and hydraulic calculations
- Dimensioning of hydraulic structures
- Comparison of variants
- Event and risk analysis
Water footprint | EU taxonomy
Which investments or economic activities are green and environmentally sustainable? A legal clarification is given by the EU Taxonomy Regulation. According to the EU Taxonomy, an economic activity is considered sustainable if it leads to a substantial improvement of one of the six defined environmental objectives and does not negatively affect the other objectives. Our focus is mainly on the 3rd objective, the sustainable use and protection of water resources.
We offer to determine the water footprint of your organization based on scientific standards or to verify if the (planned) economic activity can be classified as sustainable according to the EU taxonomy.
Geoinformation systems (GIS)
In addition to the standard GIS work such as digitization, map creation and evaluations, we also offer to automatize workflows. This allows to perform many GIS applications significantly faster and in a standardized way.
Workshops
You and your team would like to learn more about the background of the frequently used terms “AI” or “Big Data” in an understandable way? We offer customized workshops that include theoretical and practical elements. Opportunities for in-depth discussions and, if necessary, concept development regarding the use of AI for your applications emerge thereby as well.
Research and development
Are existing methods and approaches insufficient for solving your business prolems or scientific questions? We can conduct application-oriented research and development with a focus on the interface between data science and environmental technology. Our references contain a list of our scientific publications and contributions.
Additional services
We are also a certified engineering office specialized in cultural engineering and water management and are therefore allowed to represent your projects at authorities and courts.
Especially in the case of AI services, some providers often promise a lot. We can assist you in the tendering and awarding process to avoid unpleasant surprises. Furthermore, we are able to provide in-depth expert reports in all service areas listed above.
