Big data is the term that describes a high volume of data, both structured and unstructured, promising to automate processes through the consolidation and analysis of information. However, it is not the amount of data available that matters, but what organizations do with it. It can be analyzed to obtain insights that lead to better decisions and strategic business actions.
According to the 2016 World Economic Forum, the world will lose countless jobs over the next three years, primarily in the areas of administrative functions and industries. It is estimated that by 2030 in Brazil, 15.7 million people will be affected by automation. Big data analytics, for example, has impacted several sectors of the economy, associated with technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, and has changed the decision-making process of companies allowing new analyzes and better decisions. More than that, it has changed even the innovation process, because today there is a greater knowledge of data, whether from the point of view of collection, storage or processing.
For Bruno Jorge, Coordinator of Industry 4.0, from the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI), big data is important for ABDI in two ways. The first is because it is a transversal technology that has impacted sectors such as manufacturing, health, agriculture and logistics. “For this reason, we have been following the development of technology and especially its application with its costs and benefits. Another opportunity is the use of big data to generate new analysis and intelligence for innovation and competitiveness policies”, explains the Industry 4.0 Coordinator.
Big data will directly influence the industry, a first application would be in the monitoring of assets such as machines and equipment. “With these machines connected, various data are generated that can be analyzed and subsidize processes such as predictive maintenance. Another application is in the supply chain, that is, as the industry is connected with its production chain, it becomes possible to reduce inventories and have a more optimized production process”, concludes Bruno.
About ABDI
The Brazilian Agency for Industrial Development (ABDI) emerged at the time of resumption of public policies to encourage industry, in 2004, and legitimized itself as an articulating body for the various actors involved in the implementation of Brazilian industrial policy. In more than a decade of activity, under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MDIC), ABDI is the federal government's intelligence agency for the productive sector and offers the industry complete structure for the construction of business agendas. sectoral actions and advances in the institutional, regulatory and innovation environment in Brazil, through the production of conjunctural, strategic and technological studies.
