“Digital Transformation” used to be really focused on collecting industrial data from our manufacturing equipment and processes. And getting the data used to be the problem we needed to solve. However, with technologies such as smart networking and protocol standardisations, new wireless and inductive technologies, enhanced computing power, IP cameras and computer vision, Robots and Drones and more, the challenge isn’t really in getting digital data from analog or disconnected equipment.

In todays world, though, manufacturing companies spend a large amout of their users time searching and navigating separated silos of digital data across multiple source systems, formats, structures and data types, as they try to solve use cases within Maintenance, Operations, Production Optimisation, AI/ML, and more. And this challenge becomes even bigger as they try to scale solutions across equipment and plants.
