Onica, a Rackspace Technology Company, and PipeSearch, a Global Tubular Supply Chain Platform
December 02 2020 - 11:05AM
Onica, a Rackspace Technology™ (NASDAQ: RXT) company, Premier
Consulting Partner in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network
(APN) and audited AWS Managed Service Provider, today announced it
has brought expanded data modernization and machine learning
capabilities to PipeSearch, a U.S.-based software company that
connects and supports the global pipe industry. Rackspace
Technology aided PipeSearch’s efforts to revolutionize the pipe
industry with a modern supply chain solution.
The global tubular supply chain is powered by silos of
information living in multiple multi-national organizations. Even
within a single company, inventory information is stored in many
places, in various formats. To better understand what is on the
ground at any time, PipeSearch needed to standardized inventory
data and be able to ingest it in various formats and at scale. To
fill this gap, PipeSearch needed a skilled, experienced partner
that could understand the necessary machine learning requirements
to create an innovative solution.
PipeSearch selected Onica to together build a machine learning
model that would identify and normalize specific attributes and
descriptors for different inventory items, streamlining inventory
identification from its previously unstructured state. In one week,
the machine learning model achieved over 80% results confidence and
helped PipeSearch expand its platform capabilities, providing
customers a better understanding of market options for steel pipe
beyond the mills.
“The Onica team was incredibly collaborative and the company’s
expertise in machine learning and data analytics helped us simplify
the difficult problem of normalizing non-standard raw inventory
data,” said Briggs Thompson, co-founder of PipeSearch. “Using a
combination of an agile approach with sprints and common tools,
Onica helped us stay on track and delivered a successful
solution.”
The Onica team leveraged their expertise to design a data flow
plan and extract data to be fed into a searchable database and
provide normalized descriptions, allowing easy access to customers.
The solution also allowed the team to identify data it was unsure
about, which was then used to retrain the model, further
strengthening results.
“We are proud to work with PipeSearch to expand their platform
capabilities and create a solution with a transformative impact on
the global pipe industry,” said Tolga Tarhan, CTO, Rackspace
Technology. “The project is truly a testament to the impact of
machine learning services, such as Amazon SageMaker. We look
forward to seeing PipeSearch customers continue to achieve time and
cost savings through the platform.”
