The manufacturing industry is experiencing a transformation known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, driven by technologies like IoT, AI, and big data analytics. This shift emphasizes the critical role of data in driving innovation, improving efficiency, and maintaining profitability. Key types of data collected include production efficiency, supply chain management, predictive maintenance, and quality control, which, when analyzed effectively, optimize operations and reduce costs. However, many manufacturers struggle to leverage this data fully due to challenges in data availability, protection, and collaboration. Secure data collaboration platforms, such as those offered by Duality Technologies, address these issues by enabling manufacturers to adopt AI models, monetize data, and integrate additional data sources while safeguarding sensitive information and intellectual property. This approach allows manufacturers to harness their data's potential, drive innovation, and maintain a competitive edge in the digital landscape.
