Imagine getting access to a satellite for only 10 minutes at a time and with limited bandwidth, storage space, and processing power. What would you do with it?
This question was the focus of the Computer in a Room Challenge, a project started by the European Space Agency (ESA), supported by some of our colleagues.
End of June, the series of ESA’s METERON (Multi-purpose End-To-End Robotics Operations Network) experiments had its successful grand finale with ANALOG-1.
The annual company trip took place from 16 – 17 July in the medieval town of Bamberg.
The Friday started eventful with a gathering in the office to celebrate our colleague Paulo's 12 years with Solenix! Sandwiches and drinks ensured that all were well-prepared for the bus ride to Upper Franconia. After a delicious dinner in the "Kachelofen" we met our guide who gave us a glimpse in Bamberg's rich history and it's tales and sagas. The evening ended with a tour through Bamberg's nightlife with plenty of drinks and laughter.
In a new exciting venture, Solenix recently shared its strong AI experience with Wella, to help the company with its research and development work.
Specifically, the project aimed to assess the benefits and limitations of using artificial intelligence in hair R&D.
For this purpose, Solenix produced two prototypes:
Our latest contribution to EUMETSAT’s User Notification System (UNS) is now operational.
The UNS is the main communication channel used by EUMETSAT to let its users know about scheduled maintenance outages, new services, products releases and enhancements, together with unexpected anomalies.
The European Central Bank (ECB) periodically collects data from European banks for supervisory purposes. To complement the ECB’s quality assurance and assessment tasks, Solenix has participated in a project with the aim of improving the plausibility checks performed by the ECB with Machine Learning (ML).
During the project a prototype was developed. With this prototype the ECB can:
We are living in exciting times where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having more and more a key role in a wide range of applications from image/speech recognition to digital personal assistants, from health care to recommendation systems, etc. AI solutions could support decision-making, automate repetitive actions, accelerate response times, leading to greater efficiencies and performance improvements at all levels.
As a spin-off of the European Space Operations Centre’s (ESOC) innovation cup, Solenix developed a technical requirements analysis tool for the European Space Agency (ESA). This tool, the Technical Requirements Ambiguity Checker (TRAC), analyses requirements documents for the use of ambiguous wording according to pre-defined keywords. The quality of technical requirements is defined by their clarity and completeness.
We are very pleased to announce that Solenix continues supporting EUMETSAT in offering training courses to the public by extending the current Training Calendar to a full-fledged Training Management Tool.
In spring 2020, Solenix concluded a project for the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) of the European Space Agency (ESA). In this activity, our Software Engineering Division expanded WebMUST, a Web-based client to explore and display spacecraft housekeeping telemetry, with a new module to demonstrate the use of vectors derived from the stored data. This module includes the following features:
