End-to-end Services
We provide end-to-end data engineering services for science and sustainability
ingestion (IoT, sensors, telemetry), processing (edge–cloud, queues, streaming), governance (metadata, versioning, FAIR), exposure (APIs, catalogs), and exploitation (analytics and dashboards). All operated in the cloud with Kubernetes/CI-CD, 24/7 observability, and sound security and interoperability practices
FAIR Data Platforms & Catalogs
What we do
Design and implement multi-tenant data lakes with metadata, versioning, access policies, and FAIR publication (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable).
Deliverables
architecture & deployment, catalog with search, version control, exports
(CSV/Parquet/GeoJSON), technical documentation.
Real cases
data repositories and catalogs for ECHO (soil), MINKA (biodiversity).
Real-Time Ingestion & Edge–Cloud Integration
What we do
Pipelines for sensors, buoys, ROVs, and drones, with buffering, validation, and secure cloud delivery (MQTT/HTTP/AMQP), plus edge processing when needed.
Deliverables
device connectors, queues/streams, normalization, scalable storage, ops playbooks.
Real cases
marine and oceanographic telemetry at VLIZ and ANERIS; robotics/5G-satellite in SYRENNA.
Citizen-Science
Portals
What we do
Mobile-first portals for sampling campaigns, observations, and evidence submission, with gamification, community/expert validation, and open export.
Deliverables
responsive web front-end, back-end with API, backoffice for moderation, and
activity/impact dashboards.
Real cases
MINKA (biodiversity) and LivingSoils (field trips for sampling and surveys).
Analytics & Visualization (Dashboards)
What we do
Models and dashboards to monitor environmental indicators, data quality, user activity, and
operations (time series, maps, charts).
Deliverables
dashboards (Grafana/Power BI), data marts, optimized queries, basic alerts.
Real cases
time series and maps in VLIZ/ANERIS; usage analytics in EGI Accounting; soil metrics in ECHO/NEIKER.
APIs & Interoperable Services
What we do
REST/GraphQL APIs and services compatible with standards (e.g., OGC for geospatial data) to integrate with third parties and external portals.
Deliverables
secure endpoints (auth), documentation, lightweight SDKs, integration tests
Real cases
data and metrics exposure in EGI Accounting and catalogs/portals for MINKA/LivingSoils.
Cloud Operations, Kubernetes & CI/CD
What we do
Cloud deployment and operations (Kubernetes), automation with CI/CD, observability (logs, metrics, traces), and baseline hardening.
Deliverables
manifests, pipelines, observability boards, runbooks, and backup manuals.
Real cases
continuous operations for EGI Accounting, MINKA portals, and ANERIS/VLIZ pipelines.
Data Governance & Quality
What we do
Quality rules, lineage, normalization, semantic validation, and access/retention policies; support for open licensing and standardized metadata.
Deliverables
data schemas and contracts, validators, lineage documentation, metadata templates.
Real cases
validation and FAIR-ization in ECHO/NEIKER and MINKA.
Technical Consulting for Data Projects
What we do
Technical guidance on data architecture, interoperability, and scalability; support for technical proposals and coordination with consortia.
Deliverables
roadmaps and reference designs, interoperability/standards matrices, capacity estimates.
Real cases
architecture definition and interoperability guides in HORIZON; technical coordination with VLIZ/ANERIS.
