High-Performance AI Data Platform for Managing and Querying Massive Industrial Datasets

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine trying to find one specific needle in a mountain of different needles, where each needle is stored in a different type of box. This project builds a smart universal remote that lets you ask questions in plain English to find exactly what you need across all those boxes instantly. It connects giant supercomputers to these data piles so businesses can analyze massive amounts of information without getting bogged down by technical complexity.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies struggle to analyze massive, fragmented datasets stored across different database types. Current tools often cannot bridge the gap between raw storage and the immense power of supercomputers.

The solution

What was built

An Extreme Data Database (EDD) and an Advanced Query and Indexing System (AQIS) that uses LLMs to allow natural language queries across diverse data backends.

Who can put this to work

Automotive
enterprise
Target: Autonomous vehicle developer

If you are an autonomous vehicle developer dealing with massive sensor logs and driving data — this project developed an Extreme Data Database (EDD) that allows you to query and analyze these datasets on supercomputers to speed up AI training.

Agriculture
SME
Target: Smart viticulture technology provider

If you are a smart viticulture provider dealing with heterogeneous environmental and crop data — this project developed a unified indexing system that streamlines data ingestion and analysis for better crop yield predictions.

Healthcare
mid-size
Target: Health data analytics firm

If you are a health analytics firm dealing with social big data and patient records — this project developed a portable analytics environment that ensures FAIR data handling while enabling complex knowledge extraction.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for using this platform?

Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost model is mentioned; the project is funded by an EU contribution of EUR 4,911,425 for development.

Can this system handle industrial-scale data?

Yes, it is specifically designed for 'Extreme Data' and integrates with European pre-Exascale Supercomputers and cloud infrastructures to process data at scale.

Who owns the IP and what are the licensing terms?

Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project includes partners specialized in technology transfer to manage these aspects.

How does this integrate with existing database systems?

The system uses a unified interface called AQIS to connect with S3, iRODS, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch, ElasticSearch, Mongo, and vector or graph databases.

What is the timeline for deployment?

The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-04-30, indicating the development and validation phase is ongoing.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with a 60% industry ratio (6 out of 10 partners), including 2 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 3 universities and 1 research center, suggests the project is focused on practical application rather than pure theory, specifically targeting sectors like automotive (Valeo) and high-performance computing.
