Optimization projects in GLAM institutions

We help museums to optimize their storages to reduce costs and improve efficient operations using intelligent algorithms.

Optimization services for painting storage

/user/pages/02.glam-projects/02._calloutGlam/Process.jpg

We assist GLAM institutions in the world to optimize their storage using intelligent algorithms.

  • Our service provides several benefits such as:
    • Speed up the process of mounting paintings on rack walls.
    • Lower the costs associated with labor and operations during disassembly, transport, and relocation.
    • Our algorithm provides, error-free results, ensuring the museum can fully trust the optimized arrangement of their objects.

As part of our optimization service, we review the museum's database to identify inconsistencies between images and dimensions, highlight missing or incomplete information, and ensure data consistency.

Birmingham Museum, UK

We worked closely with the Birmingham Museum conservation team to optimize approximately 2,100 paintings in various storage rooms during the museum refurbishment.

In the optimization parameters, we included structural restrictions on certain walls and "locked" others, as only one side was accessible.

The ability to rotate certain paintings opened up further optimization opportunities.

Tirol Landenmusseum, Austria

The Tirol Museum built new facilities outside Innsbruck to store, conserve, and research artworks. They enlisted our help to organize approximately 3,300 paintings in the new storage facility, requiring classification by epoch, region, and artist.

The optimization process used genetic algorithms from the Laga library, automating the documentation process. This project established new standards in museum storage optimization.
