The Big Data Engine (BDE) is the underlying software infrastructure of PIXEL fitting the most demanding data needs of all stakeholders in the maritime industry, modular and flexible by plug’n’play FIWARE data collection agents, and ready for 3rd party integration through REST API and integration with Port Community Systems. It was built in a lean product development process with decision-makers of small, medium and large ports to fit the data challenges of most European ports.
Result description
FIWARE data collection agents to plugin heterogeneous real-time stream data sources into the Big Data engine, based on Elasticsearch and Apache Kafka, sourced over REST APIs, and served with an advanced model manager that can describe and manage different models and predictive algorithms with different inputs and implementation approaches.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Fully functional stable technology.
The result has been tested in relevant (non-operational environments) in 4 European ports within PIXEL installations.
Based on tiers (free, freemium, premium, gold) and with different deployment approaches (cloud, SaaS, hybrid, on-premises).
Based on open source technologies and custom developments.
It is being already tested in 4 maritime ports. The replication difficulty lies on the data acquisition options. However, the business model includes tools and specific features (e.g., training, consultancy) for covering those.
The modularity on the architecture allows easy additions, scalable growth of hardware and software and exploring new technologies to build on.
