  Lutron RadioRA ML SAAS

  PROBLEM: In-office work has grown more inconsistent due to remote work. We want to determine if lights should or should not be active and act on the prediction.

  SOLUTION: Use Amazon SageMaker to deliver a model to turn lights on or off depending on facility usage at a given time and in a given room.

  TECH STACK: Amazon SageMaker, AWS IoT Core, AWS S3, AWS Glue

  Anomaly Detection with IoT Data

  PROBLEM: Our partner is a transportation & logistics company. They rely on their trucks to be consistently up and running in order for critical deliveries to be made. IoT Sensor data can glitch, causing preventative maintenance plans to shift and trucks to get unnecessary maintenance.

  SOLUTION: Our team established an automated pipeline to allow for the training of an Isolation Forest model in order to detect incorrect odometer data being brought in. These data points are relayed to subject matter experts who can then update the incorrect data, allowing for preventative maintenance plans to be corrected quicker. This has resulted in hours saved as well as less unnecessary maintenance on trucks and a cost savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

  Prudential Life SageMaker Tour

  PROBLEM: There was demand in the midwest IT community to have easy entry points into getting started with Machine Learning. We wanted to support AWS's goal to make AI/ML more accessible.

  SOLUTION: First we put together a real-world solution regarding insurance risk. Next we invited our Data Scientists and ML Engineers to AI/ML & IT conferences to teach simple ML entry points using the most common enterprise use cases of tabular and time series data. For validation, we showed how the results stacked up against human data scientists.

  TECH STACK: AWS SageMaker Canvas, AutoPilot, and StudioLab
