The Centre of Excellence is like a global SWAT team of industry experts , serving SAP colleagues in the field , with knowledge transfer .
Andy points out that IIoT networks generate mountains of data and warns that powerful 5G technology – with its huge data capabilities – can “ make people lazy , and so they end up throwing tons of information around just because they can ”.
He adds : “ The trouble is that when you scale-up this approach to enterprise level you soon end up with 50 million data points that flood the network , making it inefficient .
Andy adds that a danger is that businesses who fall into this trap then end up “ chucking more technology at the problem ”, where really what they should be doing is “ coming back to fundamentals ”.
Andy says the secret to working with big data , like that generated by IIot networks , is “ to always be looking out for exceptions ”.
He adds : “ Think of a temperature gauge on a piece of equipment that is feeding back data . As long as everything is running okay , the equipment will always be roughly the same temperature .
“ You don ’ t need to keep feeding back data about that piece of equipment . The only data you want to capture is if something changes – for example , if the thermostat fails .”
Andy adds : “ IIoT devices are creating data 24 / 7 , so the idea is to discard most of it and look for the exception - the piece of data that shows a machine is overheating , or out of calibration . With data , less is usually more .” miningdigital . com 115
