Hello my name is Reinhard Mayr, I am
product manager from COPA-DATA. I have been working for the company for
fifteen years now
and my is major jobs are strategic product planning
and working together on the R&D projects with our strategic partners.
Big Data for COPA-DATA means
on a larger scale it's a lot about communication, exchanging data of
various types between
different business applications, between different platforms.
So it a lot about contribution, networking, bringing data out of
different sources
all together and if I break that down a little bit to what our technology can do
we can collect data from production processes from industries
out of various areas like food and beverage, energy and infrastructure
and pre-process that data and
communicated it with other platforms for example ERP systems
or any planning systems.
COPA-DATA as such is not building Big Data applications
but we are contributing as I said
as a kind of communication interface between two different
platforms and we help generating data, harmonizing data for its different
platforms.
So what we see is that today there is a lot more data generated
out of various sources, in the public sector, in the private sector and of
course also
in the production processes and the big challenge for all this projects is bringing
these different data types and data sources together to make out of that
data
good and valid information for better decision making. The second challenge I
see
is that in the challenge between
IT and production they have different goals. The IT is very much focused on
securitiy, is very much focused on
on maintenance, reliability and
the production processes they have to run in real time, there is
a lot of data generated and they have to be up for 24 hours a day
and the big challenge for all this solutions is bringing
these two different goals or targets or mindsets together for one
big data application solution.
My name is Johannes Petrowisch
partner account manager at COPA-DATA and I am responsible for strategic partnerships
and the COPA-DATA Partner Community.
Now would like to give an example how COPA-DATA can actually contribute to
big data applications and smart cities.
What we see here on the screen is a a map of the city and its surrounding area.
In the city a lot of data is coming together, no matter if it's public
transportation,
energy distribution, water, wastewater management what so ever.
If we have a closer look at the screen you will recognize the wind parks along
the area
on and offshore, each wind park generating a lot of data
for example in real time like wind direction and wind speed.
If we combine this real time data such as for example wind direction, wind speed
with the local traffic management system
it will help the city itself significantly to reduce problems on the
roads
by for example reducing and lowering the speed limits on the roads or even closing bridges.
Many experts already talk about machine generated data
being a new currency for enterprises. So what does this specifically mean for
private businesses?
In the future if a company especially in manufacturing environment want to stay
competitive in the world of
industry 4.0 it needs to get more out of the data it is creating.
Important aspects to consider here are machine-to-machine communication,
connectivity, user experience
and security. What does it mean for the public sector?
As 70 % percent of the world's population will live in cities in 2050
it will be crucial for public sector to
take advantage and take the right decisions of real-time and high quality
data.
Only with a great IT infrastructure this will be possible
to stay efficient, to stay sustainable
and to make cities a great place for living.
Besides the technical requirements there is still one very important aspect to
consider when talking about big data
which is user experience. One of the biggest challenges will be to have
flexible staff that can cope with the changing requirements
and cope with the tremendous amount of data
having everything under control like a conductor if you want so.
So, intuitive and ergonomic software will help to increase flexibility
and user experience, making perhaps person the most important factor
in the world of tomorrow.
