Project Summary

BIX Tech designed and implemented a centralized analytical data platform for a milk analysis laboratory using ClickHouse and a medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architecture. The vendor set up ingestion pipelines, applied data modeling and transformation best practices, and delivered a documented, production-ready analytical layer that powers dashboards. The new platform improved data freshness and query performance while eliminating manual nightly full refreshes.

Key Challenges

Consolidate data scattered across ERP and laboratory analysis systems into a single, reliable source.
Build a centralized analytical data platform on ClickHouse using a layered (medallion) architecture.
Establish solid data engineering practices for ingestion, transformation, and data governance.
Enable a governed analytical layer capable of reliably feeding dashboards and reports.
Reduce dependency on manual data extraction and give the internal team autonomy to run consistent analyses.

Project Deliverables

Production-ready ClickHouse data lake with bronze/silver/gold layers
Data ingestion pipelines from ERP and laboratory analysis equipment
Data modeling and transformation including partitioning and deduplication
Documented schema and engineering conventions
Knowledge transfer enabling the internal team to operate and extend the platform

Project Solution

BIX Tech designed and implemented a centralized analytical data platform on ClickHouse using a medallion architecture. The engagement included setting up reliable data ingestion from ERP and laboratory equipment into a bronze layer, defining transformation and modeling practices (partitioning, deduplication, data quality handling), and building a curated analytical gold layer for reporting. They established engineering conventions, documented schemas, and provided knowledge transfer so the client's team could operate and extend the platform. The team used tools like Airflow for orchestration and collaborated within the client's Azure DevOps and Teams environments.

Project Outcome

Data freshness improved from 3 hours to 15 minutes.
Eliminated nightly full-refresh reprocessing.
Platform now synchronizes roughly 30,000 rows every 15 minutes with high reliability.
Querying and consuming data is around 100x faster than the previous setup.
Strong project management and consistent communication with daily standups and weekly status meetings.
