Case Study: The Green Village accelerates sustainable innovation with SURF’s data platform

The Green Village unifies data from 3 core services with SURF

The Green Village, a living lab at TU Delft where new sustainable technologies are tested in a realistic environment, faced the challenge of efficiently managing and administering the large amounts of IoT and research data generated by its various projects. They engaged vendor SURF to design and develop an innovative IT solution to collect, monitor, and provide real-time visibility of this data for their researchers and partners.

SURF implemented The Green Village Data Platform, a stable and scalable solution built on Apache Kafka, InfluxDB, and Grafana. This platform integrates data into a uniform format, enables real-time sharing and visualization, and uses SURF's SRAM system for secure access. The result is an engine for innovation that facilitates valuable new collaborations, makes research data directly applicable for companies, and has become a standard for data analysis in sustainable innovation.
