Data-Driven services: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important production data?
- Data that can improve productivity and quality
- Data that can support continuous improvements
- Data that can detect critical quality issues, indications leading to downtime or extensive reworking
Manufacturers have always tried to collect valuable production data by timing jobs and visual inspections. Today we can rely on smart integrated devices to produce information automatically and support data collection.
However, it's essential to utilize production data correctly to improve overall productivity and quality.
What are the benefits for me of using a Cloud-based solution for data analysis?
ALTURE®, our data-driven service, is a cloud-based solution. We have chosen the cloud for three main reasons.
- To embrace the best algorithms and well-trained machine learning
- To eliminate the limitation of computing power
- To enable remote resolution of issues
In addition, having data on the cloud will minimize additional work for the customers’ IT Departments. Modern cloud providers ensure data stay close to the customers, supporting low latency and national data legislation.
Should I be concerned about cybersecurity when using your data-driven services?
No, but you need to be sure to meet your IT requirements.
We strive for security and strictly follow industry security standards, such as SOC-2 and ISO27001.
We use MS Azure as a data center, providing a high-security level. For us, it is crucial that the customer’s IT department approves our setup and feels trust that we manage the information. Therefore, we only use reliable connectivity technologies endorsed by many customers' IT professionals.
The customer only shares relevant information for optimizing the production processes and maintenance of the tools. Any data outside this scope is filtered before it is sent to the cloud service.
While using ALTURE®, our customers have full control of access. Users log in with their company account, ensuring their company's authentication requirements are met and making it user-friendly.
