Cloud Data Platforms in Manufacturing

White Paper

This white paper is dedicated to the specific requirements of cloud data platforms and the associated applications for companies in the mechanical engineering sector. In addition to specific use cases, the correct implementation and application of cloud data platforms are also highlighted.

Hardly any other area produces new hype and buzzwords as reliably as the digital transformation of industry. However, two particular terms have long since outgrown the buzzword stage, are no longer dependent on the hype surrounding them and are already shaping everyday working life in industrial companies. We are talking about “data platforms” and “cloud”.

 

While most people can now relate to the term cloud computing, the situation is sometimes different when it comes to data platforms. Mechanical engineering companies in particular are becoming increasingly data-driven and need to be able to rely on the right platform for everything from storage to analysis. And having a cloud solution does not mean that it can be used optimally. To do this, it is important to comply with basic requirements, which the white paper addresses in detail.

 

The topic of sustainability is currently an additional challenge that the mechanical engineering industry has to face with ESG reports, among other things. A specific use case is discussed in the white paper. Above all, however, it is crucial for users to set up their cloud data platform correctly. After all, neither resources nor nerves should be wasted here. The right approach to prevent this from happening is discussed in detail.
