HMI-SCADA: The Democratization of Data

Data is everywhere–and exists in staggering quantities! What we need more of are ways to make sense of that data so we actually can do something useful with it.

Data analytics, as this eBook will demonstrate, is about creating context and visibility for data. It also can unite teams across a common purpose by showing everyone how each part of a manufacturing team aligns with the others. For example, putting data in the hands of line operators enables them to improve understanding of their jobs, track performance, and leverage the tools needed to make decisions based on the best information on hand.

If we can inform without overwhelming, we can create a world in which data is not just useful but empowering.
