Williams Racing is delighted to
announce a new Official Supplier, KX, a global leader in real-time streaming
analytics.
The agreement will see KX implement a total analytics solution, combining
real-time analytics, a time-series database, complex event processing,
machine learning and data visualisation tools in one platform. This will
significantly enhance the analytical capabilities of Williams Racing,
supporting the continuous development and improvement of the FW43B on track
and wider operational performance.
Whether on the track, in the garage or at the factory, the ability to
capture and analyse data in real-time is a critical requirement for Formula
One teams. The KX platform gives Williams Racing a single point of access to
all data regardless of system, format and location. Designed to be highly
scalable, it will simultaneously reduce data capture and reporting times
while increasing analytical performance.
Built on kdb+ – the world’s fastest time-series database – the KX platform
excels at enabling the near instantaneous analysis of real-time and historic
data. It is expected to deliver significant efficiency and utilization
benefits right across the team – from maximising regulation wind tunnel
testing time to reducing labour intensive tasks.
Tim Hunt, Commercial and Marketing Director for Williams Racing, said: “KX
share a similar passion to Williams, one of ambition and success. As we
continue to progress as a team, we are delighted to announce this
partnership with KX, casting a spotlight on real-time streaming analytics.
The agreement will see the team continue to develop both on and off the
track by improving our analytical capabilities. We look forward to working
with KX throughout the 2021 season and beyond.”
Seamus Keating, CEO of KX, added: “Williams Racing is one of Formula One’s
most iconic names and we’re delighted to be working with them at the
beginning of a new chapter in their history. Like racing cars, KX is built
for speed and efficiency. From our early days working with financial
institutions to solve complex data challenges at ultra-low latency, we have
since expanded into other industries where the need for the real-time
capture and analysis of data is a critical differentiator. Motorsports is
known as an industry where milliseconds can make all the difference and we
are excited to see what we can achieve together.” |
