What we do
Data is much more than just boring columns of numbers. What they contain can change the world. You can help us develop intelligent tools for data analysis. This enables our customers to design and maintain living spaces sustainably.
By working at Disy, you will help to make the world a little bit better.
Our product disy Cadenza makes it possible to analyze data visually and gain insights in this way. This allows users to carry out data driven analyses as a team and report on the results in a clear way. In projects, we support our customers in integrating disy Cadenza into their data landscape and configuring it according to their requirements. This transforms numbers into knowledge and functions as a basis for right decisions. It draws on data from our immediate surroundings and addresses socially relevant topics as the following examples show.
Assisting the police with data analysis and reporting - for more security
Security authorities such as the police and criminal investigation departments face numerous challenges daily. A good database makes investigative work much easier. The right data not only provides a clearer picture of the current situation but also supports long-term strategic analysis and planning. Where have recent break-ins occurred, and how many? Can patterns and trends in incident data be identified to improve prevention? What impact did which measures have on criminal behavior in a region or on gang crime? With our solutions for spatial data analysis and reporting, we offer security authorities the right tools to get a quick overview of the current situation.
Optimizing data flows in food monitoring - for consumer protection
Consumer protection in Germany has an important goal: we should all be protected when consuming food or using goods and services. The responsible authorities are fully occupied with this. Among other things, they regularly take samples from producers or check food in retail outlets. They also trace goods and production chains if problems occur with individual foodstuffs, for example in the event of animal epidemics and other crises.
With our software solutions, we help consumer protection authorities to set up their reporting system and organize data flows optimally.
For example, our solution makes it possible to transfer data from a federal state to the federal level. To do this, we build suitable evaluation schemes, prepare data and ensure that the applications work quickly and efficiently at the authorities and output the desired values immediately when they are needed.
The solutions we develop sometimes have exciting use cases: one of our customer projects, for example, is an overview of pesticides in food that can be viewed online by all citizens. Other applications make it possible for consumer protection authorities to track which food samples were planned or carried out and when. In this way, our software also helps to trace goods or contain animal diseases in the event of a crisis. This is because customers can retrieve data ad hoc in disy Cadenza at any time and analyze it quickly.
Analyzing environmental data and making it available in data portals -
for the sake of the environment
Climate change, environmental pollution and the displacement of nature: the challenges facing our natural habitats are huge. Environmental authorities are therefore developing strategies for their protection and at the same time ensuring comprehensive environmental monitoring. But that's not all: they also plan and evaluate specific measures.
The environmental administration constantly measures, records and uses data for this purpose often with a geographical reference. This includes improving air quality, protecting the soil, ensuring consistently good water quality and the sustainable protection of flora and fauna.
What is our role here? Together with our customers from the environmental administration, we develop state-wide infrastructures for analyzing environmental data and thus help to make better decisions for the environment. For example, our systems supply the data that serves as the foundation for all employees in the environmental administration of Baden-Württemberg . Where can which wells be drilled? How high are the air pollution levels at which locations and what does this mean for the planning of measures? With the help of disy Cadenza, these and many other decisions can be made efficiently . We also provide support in making the data available in public data portals, thereby making a contribution to environmental protection.
Calculating noise pollution with big data -
for less environmental noise
Traffic noise from road, rail or air traffic can cause serious health problems, as can industrial and commercial noise. In numerous projects, we help our customers to understand the noise situation on a large scale so that they can plan suitable mitigation measures. To this end, we develop data management solutions with which extremely large volumes of data on roads, railroad lines, traffic density, terrain, buildings or residents are brought together in databases. We then calculate and simulate noise pollution for our customers with the help of state or nationally compiled data. In this way, the German Federal Railway Authority (EBA), for example, can determine how many people, schools and hospitals for almost the entire schools and hospitals in a particular area are affected by which noise level for almost the entire German rail network German rail network - and also report this to the EU.
Providing web GIS portals -
to reduce flood risks
Elbe, Danube, Saale: every year, rivers overflow their banks. Authorities must take precautions, issue timely warnings about the danger, and repair any damage.
Our solutions help those responsible plan ahead and respond appropriately. With the right database, answering ad hoc questions becomes much easier, such as “Which businesses with hazardous substances are located in the expected flooding area and need to be notified quickly?”. Flood hazard maps for the individual federal states, which were created with the help of our software, are available online for all citizens.
IoT and FIWARE
Innovations for a sustainable water supply
Utility companies rely on the broadest possible database to ensure an optimal water supply for the population, industry and agriculture. This data comes from specialist systems on the one hand and from sensors on the other. However, this mass data is only valuable when it is combined and analyzed. Innovative software is essential for the Internet of Things (IoT) and that’s where we come in.
