Data is the foundation of successful digitalization and artificial intelligence. But before real added value can be created from data, one thing is needed: reliable data quality and transparency.
With the data check and the modular data platform OKTOPUS we help you to unleash the full potential of your data. We analyze your existing data landscape, evaluate the quality and integration potential of your sources and create a transparent, reliable database on this basis.
Optionally networked on top of this OKTOPUS networks your systems, cleanses and visualizes information from different sources – for well-founded decisions, more efficient processes and a stable basis for future AI applications.

In the first step, we carry out a data check together with you. We analyze your existing data sources, their quality and integration potential. The aim is to assess the usability of your data and develop specific recommendations for action in order to create a solid database. The result is a clear roadmap – from the current data landscape to a decision-ready database that serves as the foundation for digitalization, automation and AI.

For over 30 years, we have been supporting our customers along the entire algorithmic value chain – from the collection and bundling of raw data to intelligent forecasts and data-based decision support through to performance monitoring and seamless process integration.
As an interface between applied research and industrial software development, we offer our customers early access to innovative technologies while also allowing them to rely on stable, proven solutions.
Our aim is to show you the best path for your company and your specific goals, not to sell you a ready-made off-the-shelf solution. Based on our many years of experience with various open source technologies in data management and AI, we can advise you independently of any specific technology.
You are not tied to us when pursuing your goals further. We see the AI data check as a self-contained consulting service and not as a preliminary stage to a larger implementation project. The decision about any further collaboration is therefore entirely up to you.
The Data Check assesses the suitability of your data for future AI applications and ensures a reliable database.
Depending on the type and scope, we will be happy to support you in finding the right funding!
Based on the findings of the data check, OKTOPUS can be used to create your customized, modular data platform – individually tailored to your systems, processes and goals. The data check is not absolutely necessary: if you already know which data sources are to be integrated, OKTOPUS can also be implemented directly.
OKTOPUS brings order and structure to complex data landscapes: Data from a wide variety of sources – whether machines, sensors, ERP, MES or CRM systems – is brought together centrally, automatically cleansed, harmonized and logically linked, turning isolated data islands into a consistent, uniform information base that you can keep an eye on at all times via intuitive dashboards.
The platform thus creates a reliable, transparent data landscape that not only makes current key figures visible, but also reveals correlations and trends that previously remained hidden. With this clarity, companies can optimize processes in a targeted manner, make well-founded decisions and lay the foundation for automation and AI-supported applications.
Thanks to its modular structure, OKTOPUS grows with your requirements: New data sources, additional analysis modules or interfaces to existing BI tools can be flexibly integrated at any time – on-premise, in the cloud or as a hybrid solution. This makes OKTOPUS the central nervous system of your data world – reliable, scalable and future-proof.
Integration of source files, database systems and sensor data for a holistic view of your business processes
Use of the platform in the cloud, on-premise or as a hybrid solution as required – tailored to your infrastructure and security requirements
Automated cleansing, harmonization and transfer of your data into a data warehouse – the basis for reliable, data-driven decisions
Seamless integration into common BI and reporting tools such as Power BI, Tableau or Qlik for quick analysis and use of the data
OKTOPUS integrates seamlessly into your IT landscape without disrupting existing processes or creating redundant structures
Automated data processing, cleansing and notifications ensure consistently high data quality and reduce the workload of specialist departments
Business intelligence offers a wide range of options for systematically using data from production, logistics, purchasing and other areas of the company. In practice, it is clear that certain areas of application are particularly often the focus when it comes to improving processes, creating transparency and making well-founded decisions.
These areas are among the most important fields of application for business intelligence in industry and production.
Analyzing historical production and order data enables precise forecasts of future demand. This improves resource planning, reduces downtime and increases on-time delivery in manufacturing.
Comparing time series data with planned production sequences helps to identify bottlenecks at an early stage and recognize optimization potential. This allows companies to respond to disruptions before they turn into major problems.
Business intelligence enables the assessment of machine performance, availability and quality. Sources of errors and rework rates can be broken down in order to implement targeted quality improvement measures.
Integrating data from areas such as purchasing, sales or production in a central platform provides a holistic view of the company. Users get a fast, role-based overview of all relevant key figures – for example with tools such as PowerBI or Tableau.
Data-based visualizations create transparency about inventory levels, turnover rates, material availability as well as customer and supplier relationships. This helps reduce storage costs and minimize risks in the supply chain.
Breaking down production costs to unit level enables exact calculation and margin optimization. At the same time, automated, standards-compliant reports save time and provide security during audits and certifications.
Although a company stores production data centrally, it has little insight into actual process flows and their weak points.
