Fujitsu Belgium supports the Agoria Solar Team with data analytics
Fujitsu EMEIA
Fujitsu is a major partner in the Belgian team, supporting the students with data analytics. The car produces a vast amount of data during the tests and during competition. Correct use of these data becomes more important, even in car races. Chances are that the winning team will be the one who makes best use of the data and adapts the race strategy to the running circumstances.
Co-creation workshop
Fujitsu has the experience and the power as a multinational company offering tech startups faster access to real market opportunities and harnessing the creativity of an array of quality-tested disruptive technology providers to help drive digital transformation. Before the race started, Fujitsu and the Agoria Solar Team organized a co-creation workshop where 2 use cases were identified:
- How to improve the orientation of the solar cells on the car?
- How to make the best use of electricity to improve the battery autonomy?
The team will work on these 2 topics, together with Fujitsu. They will make use of Fujitsu’s Digital Annealer. This platform is inspired by quantum computing and works very fast and effiecient. The solution is designed to solve large-scale combinatorial optimization problems which are unsolvable using today’s classical computers. And as speed is very important in a car race …
Fujitsu offers a range of automotive mobility solutions. In the automotive sector the problems are reasonably clear: there is an immense amount of data being generated, which is expected to dramatically explode with the arrival of the autonomous cars. That’s why it’s key to be clever about how we capture, store, and analyze data, and how we deploy new ways to analyze it and then extract relevant information. That’s where the Digital Annealer comes in once again, defining what has to be done with all the raw data.
Data drive the automotive sector. But the next days, data are driving the Agoria Solar Team.
Wishing them a lot of success!
