Data Contextualization

What is Data Contextualization?

Industrial Data Contextualization (ALT: Industrial Data Contextualization) refers to the process of integrating and enhancing data within industry and manufacturing, contriving more accessible and meaningful data across various operational layers. This involves the use of a Unified Namespace which allows individuals at all organizational levels to interact seamlessly with data, while mutually understanding its implications without needing specialized training. The data contextualization process not only simplifies access to data, but also enhances data value and utility by embedding it with contextual metadata to tailor insights of specific operational scenarios. This vastly improves decision-making and predictive analytics, offering a comprehensive and actionable view of operational data which is essential for optimizing performance and reliability in industry and manufacturing.
