O DRAKOVI S TĚŽKÝM CHVOSTEM
Byl jednou jeden drak s těžkým chvostem, který po generace sužoval obyvatele Kamenistánu – žral jim ovce. Občané i král věděli, že s drakem nic
Solving real-world problems with joy for science
Mathematics as a language
Spoken languages are from nature ambiguous. Mathematics is by contrast extremely clear and exact. Preceding solution with mathematical interpretation can so truly help with understanding the problem’s essence.
Domain knowledge
The best algorithms and advanced methods are useless unless we have experts’ knowledge in a given field. Hence, close collaboration with our clients and a wide variety of external experts helps us to stay on top of the things.
Bayesian thinking
As uncertainty has major influence on our behaviour we want to measure it precisely. The best tool for it are Bayesian methods. Only this approach enable us to combine our existing knowledge with available data and make optimal decisions.
Data and Machine Learning
Human minds are unbelievably efficient machines. Yet we are not able to process huge amounts of all the available data and find their hidden patterns. Fortunately, this is exactly where the latest machine learning algorithms excel.

In Abradatas, coming up with working and elegant ideas is the most rewarding experience.

Case study:
AUTOMATIC BESS POWER MANAGEMENT
Problem
It is hard to manage power in big Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and use it for instance for peak shaving. One has to be aware of the weather, development of electricity prices and state of the transmission grid.
Idea
Using advanced Bayesian forecasting methods (AI) based on information about the grid, weather and prices combined with smart decision making would allow us to automatically manage power in BESS, maximizing the revenue of the energy trader/user of BESS.
Our solution
We developed a communication software and power management forecasting+decision algorithms for 1 MWh (once biggest) BESS belonging to Solar Global Service in Prakšice, Czechia.
Case study:
Education Evaluation
Problem
The educational system in the Czech Republic hasn’t really changed much for a long time. Thanks to old practises students are provided with little motivation to learn and schools still have very few means to teach effectively.
Idea
Education depends mostly on the teachers who have nor incentives nor the time to collect feedback from students. Therefore they have only small awareness of what suits their students the best.
Our solution
In cooperation with experts, we designed a questionnaire for students, then gathered answers from schools and analyze them. Finally, we provide schools with data and interactively present the results to the principal, teachers and students on Evaluace výuky web app.
Case study:
immag box
Problem
One of the important measures of yield in experimental agriculture is so-called TGW (Weight of Thousand Grains – HTS in Czech ). Manual counting is expensive, time-consuming and imprecise, but still widely used.
Idea
Using computer vision approach allows us to compute not only TGW but also other features of grain – height, width, grain damage. It is also significantly faster.
Our solution
In cooperation with IMMAG Solutions we implemented a precise computer vision algorithm for a simple camera in a controlled environment called IMMAG Box . It is able to count grains with a deviation of up to 2 % from the ground truth.
Precision medicine
Together with SriKaalika, we are developing a methodology for a) data acquisition and storage conserving data privacy b) analytical methods for better diagnostics and treatment testing.
Trading Assistance for Solar Global Energy
We designed an algorithm and created a tool for the prediction of solar energy production. We also implemented a Bayesian decision-making system to support traders’ decisions.
Cheaper solutions for autonomous car parks
We developed an algorithm based on Convolutional Neural Networks
that counts arriving and departing cars.
KORONAVIRUS V ČESKÉ REPUBLICE – MATEMATICKÉ MODELOVÁNÍ
Aktuálně probíhající epidemie koronaviru je dosud největší výzvou naší generace. Lidé zodpovědní za rozhodování na všech úrovních, od městské samosprávy po vládu, jsou povinni dělat
Abradatas designed original digital image processing application that allowed us to develop an innovative approach for analysis of multiple grain features in agricultural research.
