Data Structuring/ Normalization and Validation the Hidden Key to Unified Information Solution!!!

For the last 2 weeks I have been on the road, sorry just did not get to updating blog, but a constant discussion topic that keeps coming up. “How to truly build a Unified Information system that allows a view across their industrial/ production assets, and the ability to compare, and understand current state, capacity and performance quickly and easily.”

How Pre Context/ Pre Normalizing vs Traditional Post Context DATA/ INFORMATION is critical to Operational Empowerment

Over the last couple weeks I have ranted on about what is happening that makes this Operational Empowerment Revolution not a nice to have but a necessary in today’s changing/ rotating workforce.  Then I sit in a room and listen to people about “just put a historian in and capture the data we will use it latter to tune the plant”. Yet in the next breadth the comment and vision of operational execution/ excellence with procedures and MES like execution is discussed. I feel cold in the seat, as the vision is correct, the passion is there, but the immediate execution will put them down a path to constrain their ability to go to vision.
