Core features

Superb Data Kraken can be seamlessly integrated into existing tools, environments, and backend systems.

Goal: Efficiently consolidate all relevant data sources – internal, external, or public.

  • Connects sensors, metering systems, ERP, GIS, or cloud data within one platform
  • Over 600 verified connectors and open APIs (REST, MQTT, OPC-UA, SFTP)
  • Unified data flow across local, hybrid, or cloud environments
  • Automatic detection, categorisation, and logging of new data sources
  • Secure import of sensitive data through role-based access control
  • Supports continuous data acquisition (streaming) and batch processes

Benefit: A clean, consistent data pool as the foundation for governance, analytics, and operational control.

Goal: Create data transparency and reveal relationships at a glance.

  • Interactive queries and drill-downs across sites, networks, and assets
  • Combines internal and external sources – e.g., energy consumption, weather, or traffic data
  • Visualisations in tables, maps, and charts
  • Early identification of deviations, bottlenecks, or patterns
  • Support for custom queries and filtering logic
  • Export functions for reports, audits, and management presentations

Benefit: Data becomes understandable and actionable – not just collected.

Goal: Turn raw data into reliable information models.

  • Standardised validation of all incoming datasets
  • Harmonisation of different formats and classifications
  • Automatic plausibility checks with definable thresholds
  • Traceable history of each transformation (“data lineage”)
  • Support for rule-based data modelling and normalisation
  • Preparation of data for AI models, simulations, and automation

Benefit: Transparent, validated data structures – reliable for operational and regulatory purposes.

Goal: Make data understandable – for every target group.

  • Support for leading tools: Grafana, Apache Superset, OpenSearch Dashboards
  • Creation of interactive dashboards, reports, and maps
  • Customisable for roles and needs (e.g., engineering, controlling, management)
  • Live updates and drill-down functions for detailed analysis
  • Integration into existing reporting tools or control rooms
  • Alerts and notifications when thresholds are exceeded

Benefit: All relevant KPIs at a glance – intuitive, up to date, and fact-based.

Goal: Operation and scaling without internal IT effort.

  • Fully managed cloud environment – on request also on-premise
  • Automatic maintenance, updates, monitoring, and security patching
  • High availability with redundancies and continuous performance monitoring
  • GDPR-compliant operation with data sovereignty retained by the customer
  • Certified according to BSI IT-Grundschutz, ISO 27001, TISAX
  • Encrypted storage and access control with audit logs

Benefit: Stable, secure, and maintenance-free operation – including future-proofing and compliance.

Goal: The platform adapts to your organisation – not the other way around.

  • Flexible alignment with industry-specific processes and data models
  • Custom workflows, dashboards, and interfaces
  • Integration of customer-owned tools or frontends via plugin system
  • White-label options for public authorities or partner organisations
  • Extendable through Python-, SQL-, or REST-based modules
  • Supported by an experienced SDK team with 15 years of data management expertise

Benefit: A tailored solution that exactly reflects your requirements – open, robust, and future-proof.

The best data model

With the support of efs and their data platform service Superb Data Kraken, we were able to process induction loop time series data according to internationally established standards within the SAVeNoW research project, and, based on this, develop intuitive real-time traffic dashboards for interested citizens. Even after the project’s completion, the colleagues at efs continue to support us in a straightforward and highly competent manner.

Traffic analysis on the next level thanks to SDK

To make the data usable for the project partners and the citizens of Ingolstadt, it is processed and made available on the internet via a standardised web interface, the OGC SensorThings API. For this purpose, the Chair of Geoinformatics (TUM), in collaboration with TechHub by efs, has assembled an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) application stack. The data and services are currently being transferred to the cloud data platform SDK (Superb Data Kraken) to ensure long-term and stable accessibility.
