Hakusan developed a mobile application connected to a network of seismometers that feeds data into SAP HANA for rapid analysis. The system processes large volumes of sensor data to determine building safety within minutes of an earthquake. Government agencies and first responders receive actionable reports on structural integrity to prioritize rescue and evacuation decisions.
