Connected devices and the subsequent birth of the Internet of Things (IoT) have provided businesses a veritable treasure trove of data to mine, understand, and reapply to their own processes. And thus, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) was born. Most enterprises today have only scratched the surface of what their connected device data can […]

On August 4, 1997, Skynet came online to control the weapons arsenal of the United States with a mandate of “safeguarding the world.” Skynet started to learn at a geometric rate and became self-aware at 2:14am on August 29, 1997. Humans saw the artificial intelligence (AI) as a threat and attempted to shut it down. […]

Edge computing has many beenefits; it means faster response times, increased reliability and security. A lot has been said about how the Internet of Things ( IoT ) is revolutionizing the manufacturing world. Many studies have already predicted more than 50 billion devices will be connected by 2020. It is also expected over 1.44 billion data […]

Over the past 10 years we’ve watched cloud computing come of age as more and more companies send their data to the cloud for processing, storage, and management rather than keeping that data on a local server or Edge gateway. The benefits of cloud computing are vast, however there is another key development on the […]

In my earlier article, we talked about the usage of machine learning algorithms in autonomous cars. Obviously, the process of training algorithms for autonomous cars, learning and implementation of machine learning is not without a huge set of challenges. Challenges in autonomous vehicle training: In this article we will talk about the challenges in training data […]

Data generated by manufacturing or process operations, especially time series data, is very rich in information that can provide actionable insights on the current and future health of the production systems and the products they create. As companies start to digitize their industrial operations, they are learning that they are rich in operational data but poor in the […]

The compelling nature of today’s highly-polished BI and advanced visualizations inflates the credibility of conclusions that appear to be supported by big data analyses. After all, if we can manage to collect and properly condition volumes of data, in varied forms, at a rapid pace, in the face of uncertainty, then the end result must […]
