Hi there,
In this newsletter, we invite you to join our upcoming webinar with TGW Logistics, share our most recent on-demand webinars and two success stories. Plus, we have some interesting tutorials for you.
EVENTS
Webinar: Fixing data silos in a high-speed logistics environment
On June 22nd from 3:00 - 3:45 PM CET we will host a webinar together with TGW Logistics Group.
Alexander Mann, Digital Core at TGW Logistics Group, and Jan Weber, Product Manager at Crate.io, will share why TGW Logistics moved to CrateDB for its ability to fix data silos by aggregating different data formats and easily querying this information. We will also have a German webinar on the same topic on July 12th.
SUCCESS STORIES
TGW Logistics Redefines Warehouse Intelligence
After trying multiple database systems, TGW Logistics moved to CrateDB for its ability to quickly scale, enable AI teams to ingest and query full datasets and much more!
In addition to the live webinar mentioned above you can read more about the challenges TGW Logistics was facing and what they have achieved with CrateDB in our success story. Here you will also find an interview of Alexander Mann from TGW and a white paper to download.
Real-Time Energy Grid Control Based on Big Data
Gantner Instruments relied on CrateDB to analyze large amounts of data generated as part of a project with researchers from the University of Cyprus. The goal was to find better ways to optimally manage electricity consumption and power generation in real-time and to improve the processes through machine learning. You can read more in our press release or watch the on-demand webinar we hosted together with Gantner.
