Introduction to EUROGATE’s Data Challenge
EUROGATE, Europe’s leading independent container terminal operator, manages thousands of freight containers daily, generating massive amounts of data. Their operations demand seamless data flows and efficient management of information from various sources, including IoT devices attached to container handling equipment.
The Need for Modern Data Architecture
Traditional centralized data systems weren’t meeting EUROGATE’s evolving needs for:
- Real-time insights and scalability
- Domain-oriented data ownership
- Self-service data access
- Streamlined governance
Amazon DataZone Implementation
The solution focused on two key use cases:
1. Machine Learning for IoT Digital Twin
- Integration of real-time CHE data through Amazon Kinesis
- Daily ETL processes using AWS Glue
- Seamless access for data science teams via Amazon SageMaker
2. Business Intelligence Enhancement
- Centralized data platform using Amazon Redshift
- Streamlined Tableau integration
- Hybrid data mesh architecture implementation
Key Benefits Achieved
The implementation delivered significant improvements:
- 15x faster data asset onboarding
- Successfully integrated 500+ data assets
- Enhanced data discovery and sharing
- Improved analytics capabilities
Future Vision
EUROGATE plans to expand Amazon DataZone’s role as their central data management platform, incorporating more data sources and advancing their digital transformation journey.
