Real-world impact across science and engineering — Seven use cases transforming streaming data into action
Seven Science Use Cases
StreamCI empowers researchers, educators, and innovators across diverse domains. Explore how our AI-ready platform transforms streaming sensor data into actionable insights.
Precision Audiology
Untreated hearing loss impacts 15% of U.S. adults, with staggering global costs. StreamCI powers XPANDR, a cross-species auditory data resource integrating animal models and human studies. It enables real-time, individualized auditory profiles for better diagnostics and treatment.
Building Energy Analytics
Buildings account for 40% of U.S. energy use. StreamCI enables real-time analytics from HVAC sensors, weather data, and grid signals. Using reinforcement learning, it powers smart controls to optimize energy use, improve comfort, and reduce carbon emissions.
Plant Health & Crop Management
Agriculture demands timely, precise data. Partnering with Purdue's LeafSpec handheld hyperspectral scanner, StreamCI helps farmers and researchers analyze nitrogen levels, predict stress factors, and improve yields. Machine learning pipelines transform raw field data into actionable insights.
Digital Twins for Manufacturing
StreamCI integrates diverse machine data (spindle load, axis positions, sensors) to create real-time digital twins of manufacturing processes. These twins enable anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and optimization, tested on Purdue's Smart Manufacturing testbeds.
Pavement Condition Monitoring
Over 40% of U.S. roads are in poor condition. StreamCI supports AI-enabled, low-cost pavement monitoring systems using vehicle-mounted sensors. It processes multimodal data (2D/3D images, vibrations, GPS) to detect defects and deliver actionable dashboards for road maintenance.
Wildlife Corridors
Wildlife corridors face pressure from urbanization and agriculture. StreamCI integrates acoustic monitoring and camera trap data, simplifying provenance issues and accelerating biodiversity analysis. Outputs inform conservation strategies and policy decisions.
Environmental Sensing & Training
StreamCI powers environmental sensor networks monitoring air and water quality. Beyond research, it provides educational modules for ecology students and workforce training, bridging the gap between modern sensor technologies and real-world adoption.
