In our industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data problem series, we’ve arrived at the tricky issue of misidentified data in remote monitoring systems. Misidentified data is high-quality, complete, and on time. However, the identity of the asset it represents in the remote monitoring system has been mislabeled. As a result, the misidentified data is highly … Read more
Another data issue in our series of Industrial IoT data problems is that of Latent Data. High latency is limiting productivity for industrial companies across the globe. Simply put, latent data is data that doesn’t show up quickly enough to have value. Or, at the very least, its value is diminished. Even if sensors and … Read more
Continuing with our data problem blog series, we tackle the topic of incomplete data, another challenge many businesses face when considering digital technologies like SCADA systems to improve their business processes. Incomplete data is distinct from the problem of missing data. Missing data is information that companies don’t collect because it’s either unavailable or too … Read more
