In the video above, Betsy Westphal from Forest Grove, describes why they chose KNIME to develop a solution for their customer, Main Roads Western Australia. With 500 million records of historical data, and a database growing at a rate of around 400,000 new records daily, Main Roads WA needed a nimble data process to integrate, clean, and transform data in real time. They wanted to improve the integrity of their data to enable more informed decision-making and improve the safety and efficiency of Western Australia’s roadways
Forest Grove collaborated with Main Roads WA to provide an automated analytics solution that produces critical insight to support the successful operation of the Smart Freeway system. Main Roads WA uses KNIME as the analytics engine of choice to coordinate thousands of data points from different sources in real time. Data integrity has improved for the company, resulting in better decision-making.
