Distalmotion and Talan Switzerland: a collaboration for a high-performance Data Platform
In an ever-evolving environment driven by technological innovation, Distalmotion, a renowned player in the surgical robotics industry, has embarked on an ambitious digital transformation journey by harnessing the full potential of data.
With its surgical robot, Dexter, which has been performing clinical procedures since 2021, the company aimed to modernise its processes with a high-performance data platform. Our experts at Talan Switzerland were chosen to take on this strategic challenge.
The client's challenges
Distalmotion faced significant challenges related to data utilisation and analysis. The company had three key objectives:
Enhancing process quality to ensure optimal performance.
Strengthening operational efficiency by facilitating access to key data.
Preparing the company for future data-driven initiatives to secure a competitive advantage.
Our approach: expertise & achievements
We adopted a structured and agile approach, leading to the deployment of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) in three key stages:
Identifying business use cases to align the solution with real needs.
Designing the technological architecture of the platform.
Developing and deploying the MVP on a modern, scalable infrastructure.
Our expertise in Microsoft Azure and Databricks enabled us to build a robust and scalable platform tailored to the client’s requirements.
The results: before & after
Before our intervention, Distalmotion faced major obstacles: siloed data, lack of reliability, and limited accessibility. Thanks to our solution, the company now benefits from:
Optimised monitoring of production processes.
Reduced processing times, thanks to faster and more accurate analyses.
Improved decision-making, based on reliable and actionable data.
For instance, the new platform enables better process quality management and paves the way for advanced data analytics initiatives.
A differentiating approach
We supported Distalmotion by adopting a collaborative and agile approach, combining tailored coaching with innovative methodology. Our key strengths include:
Cutting-edge technological expertise, particularly in Microsoft Azure and Databricks.
Co-development with internal teams, ensuring adoption and ownership of solutions.
A multidisciplinary team, offering both strategic and operational insights.
A team of experts dedicated to the project
Our team, led by Morgan Moison (Data Architect & Project Lead), comprised highly skilled professionals, including:
Laurent Martineau, a certified Databricks Data Engineer.
Charlotte Laguillaumy, a Data Analyst specialising in business data interpretation.
Key takeaways
This project highlights Talan Switzerland’s ability to act as a trusted partner in the deployment of Modern Data Platforms. Thanks to our three-phase methodology and recognised expertise, we delivered tangible and measurable results.
What's next?
Building on the trusted relationship established with Distalmotion, we are now a preferred partner for their future data initiatives. Several projects are already under discussion, including:
Expanding the platform to other departments.
Developing a Self-Service Analytics system, enhancing team autonomy in data utilisation.
Together, we are shaping the future of data at Distalmotion, with a vision focused on innovation and performance.
