InterpreData

InterpreData is an Australian-based Data Analytical start-up with a patented software platform, TraceBase, which automates the analysis of test data, turning it into information in a very cost-effective and efficient manner.

TraceBase removes the subjectivity and selectivity of a manual process by using the power of machine learning to provide results in minutes or hours, compared to days or weeks, in a scalable, repeatable and affordable manner. Testing creates a large volume of data, there is obviously a need for an automated analytical process capable of real-time processing of these very large datasets, TraceBase has this capability yet is also able to process small sample sets and integrate them into existing systems or databases.

We are gaining traction in many sectors having had a successful Proof of concept on traceability with Australian Pork Ltd (APL) using elemental fingerprinting and tracking back to individual farms. On the DNA front, we have been awarded two Australian Federal Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) Traceability Grants and a Global Innovation Linkage grant to work on the prevention of illegal logging of timber in partnership with the University of Adelaide’s Advanced DNA, Identification and Forensic Facility (ADIFF). We are using a combination of DNA, Elemental fingerprinting and Satellite Imagery technologies to be able to provide irrefutable provenance, species identification and full traceability throughout the timber supply chain around the world. We are currently expanding this capability by working with the Cherry, Coffee and Tomato Industries here in Australia

TraceBase has been extensively tested with output data from a range of other instruments such as ICP-MS, ICP-OES, NIR, GC and LC-MS as well as Image analysis such as GIS, Satellite imagery, and Camera traps.
