FireDash offers deep layers of analytic technology that never rest, and their smart, intuitive software free you to give the fire your full attention.

Using our real-time guidance, you’re in command and control, with every incident and firefighter accounted and closely monitored. Your time and money is better spent. Experience more power and more possibilities with FireDash.

Challenge:

Bilbao City Council's Fire Department needed a solution that could face different issues:

1. Protect Lives with Real Time Guidance.
2. Make integration with current systems easier.
3. A specifically-designed solution for firefighters.

Solution:

Galde created an Analytical platform to optimize firefighters’ interventions and tactics in incidents, by combining:

1. Galde’s Knowledge from industrial Business Intelligence (Logistics)
2. Neural Network to consider constraints
3. Time Series Modelling.

To build that, we considered Data Providers from the REACH Incubator program, a European program to boost selected startups' projects, as well as Basque Open Data sources, and Firefighters' Management System.

Then, we built a Big Data architecture that could treat the data quickly by using a time-series database (InfluxDB), and finally we displayed the information by using Galde's Dashboard Generator.

Impact:

We defined the prototype with the Bilbao City Council after having participated in the REACH Incubator program, so that we could help Bilbao's citizens with this project.

From IKERLAN, the R&D center of the Mondragón Group, we were asked to provide accelerated training in AI to the IoT + Electronics team of researchers.

Challenge

The key challenge in this project was to be able to curate content relevant for specialized PhDs, so they could grasp the fundamentals, but still find it engaging.

Solution

We built a portfolio of 10 sessions that comprised a summary of Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning techniques, as well as NLP, Computer Vision, and industry applied cases.

Impact

The IoT + Electronics team was able to better coordinate with the AI team. Nowadays, IKERLAN has centralized their focus to specialize in AI R&D applications.

The University is involved in various research projects that require the presentation of results through a web interface to manipulate the data.

Challenge

This has been the case for the SC Learning project, a Biology project related to COVID-19 deep analysis.

Solution

Galde was in charge of preparing and laying out the website for the SC Learning project, allowing interaction with genome data and relevant research results.

Impact

The website was displayed and the showcase was successfully done.

AI Saturdays (or AI6) is a global non-profit community, consisting of reaching all Intelligence education Artificial of the quality and rigor of the best universities in the world.

From the hand of Galde, Global Shapers Bilbao and Camp Tecnológico, in addition to a network of sponsors among which are comprised by SPRI, Bizkaiko Foru Aldundia and Kutxa Kultur, the AI6 community comes to Bilbao and Donostia-San Sebastian.

In this case, Galde's role has been to develop the courses' curriculum, as well as to link technical instructors and lead the courses' development.

Challenges:

In this situation, our clients are people that want to reinvent themselves and learn more about AI for multiple purposes (university students, professionals that want to test AI in their daily activity, AI professionals that want to network, etc.).

So, our main challenge has been to create certain courses' curriculum that can cater all the targets and still create the seed of a community that can be relevant for all of them.

Solution:

1. We built the curriculum that has been taught, both for Machine Learning and Deep Learning courses.
2. We have coordinated 4 editions of 15 sessions each (each session being a Saturday that lasts 4h), in different locations of San Sebastian and Bilbao.
3. We have arranged various Demo Day events to present the projects, both to companions and local authorities.

Impact:

1. More than 60 people have participated and completed the different editions in Bilbao and San Sebastian.
2. 70% of participants improved their professional situation, got better job offers, or switched their job career to AI.
3. The average rating of the program has been of 9.3/10.

Online training and courses are increasingly relevant in our society.

Challenge

However, it seems that people over 55, who may have more difficulties with the use of technologies, have nothing that fits their requirements.

Solution

We defined and built the complete architecture of the eLearning Platform, an online course platform for seniors over 55 who want to age actively and healthily.

Impact

The project ran for 3 years, until the enterprise decided to stop it until they got more traction.

The startup was created from the need to automate and digitalize patient experience healthcare field.

Challenge

Solution

In this process, Galde has been responsible for the technological architecture, in addition to coordinating different external technological developments (e.g. HiTZ Zentroa to generate language models in Spanish and Basque, or voicebots).

Impact

• Developed the public platform and its management backoffice, built in Python (Django).
• Defined predictive models for NLP systems and voicebots, together with the HiTZ Zentroa R&D center.
• Created the data infrastructure so that data processing complies with all the standards stipulated by the European GDPR regulations.
• Considering the outputs obtained from the NLP data processes and patient's medical records, we developed a GenAI pipeline.
