The animal observation and welfare project developed by ASUI at the Granja Cero Carbón, located in Iriépal, Guadalajara, has been nominated for «The Splunkie Awards», annual awards given by Splunk, the leading real-time data analysis platform.
The awards recognize the most innovative, creative, and impactful use of their data platform, a tool designed to collect, monitor, index and analyze large volumes of data and transform raw information into useful information. The awards ceremony will take place within the framework of Splunk’s major annual user conference, to be held from September 14 to 17 in the American city of Denver, Colorado.
The application was accepted in the Visionary Award category and, subsequently, the Splunk team, which belongs to Cisco, considered that the initiative also fit into the Change Agent Award category, intended for initiatives with a positive social or environmental impact.
