Strategic Data Management
The growing need for companies to manage surging volumes of structured and unstructured data is continuing to propel
enterprise use of open-source Apache Hadoop software. But instead of replacing existing technologies, Hadoop appears to
be working alongside conventional relational database management systems (RDBMS).
Hadoop is designed to help
companies manage and
process petabytes of data. The
technology’s appeal lies in its
ability to break up very large
data sets into smaller data
blocks that are then distributed
across a cluster of commodity
hardware for faster processing.
Apache Hadoop is an open-
source software framework
for storage and large scale
processing of data-sets
on clusters of commodity
hardware. Hadoop is an
Apache top-level project being
built and used by a global
community of contributors and
users. It is licensed under the
Apache License 2.0.
Apache Hadoop framework has
following modules:
• Hadoop Common - contains
libraries and utilities needed by
other Hadoop modules
• Hadoop Distributed File
System (HDFS) - a distributed
file-system that stores data
on commodity machines,
providing very high aggregate
bandwidth across the cluster.
• Hadoop YARN - a resource-
management platform
responsible for managing
compute resources in clusters
and using them for scheduling
of users’ applications.
• Hadoop MapReduce - a
programming model for large
scale data processing.
Hadoop’s integral part of
Hadoop File System and
MapReduce, which has been
well designed to handle huge
volumes of data across a
large number of nodes. At a
high level, Hadoop leverages
parallel processing across many
commodity servers to respond
to client applications. The key
difference is, rather than only
looking at parallel computing,
it looks at parallelizing the data
access.
(Above picture shows Hadoop
Ecosystem and cluster details)
This all sounds great, but in
reality Hadoop is designed for
large files, not large quantities
of small files, so if you have
millions of 50 Kb documents,
that is not Hadoop’s sweet
spot.
What Big Data really is ?
While the volumes of data are
growing by leaps and bounds
from many sources, such as
social media, location data,
loyalty information, operations
and supply chain, the type of
information is also an issue.
It may be structured, semi-
structured or unstructured.
Making sense of and gaining
knowledge from this data
to achieve a competitive
advantage should be the
driving goal. So if you have Big
Data and need to search and
sort through the bulk of that
data, then Hadoop may serve
your purpose. If the majority of
the data is structured or even
unstructured but you are able
to add structured meta-data
describing the unstructured
portion and you want to
run standard reports on the
structured portion or retrieve
individual unstructured elements
then standard databases may
suit your needs. If you have
structured, semi-structured, or
unstructured with structured
meta-data, and want to run
complex analyses on the data,
to predict or ask questions
outside of the standard reports,
questions which cannot be
prepared in advance (i.e. the
types of queries most valuable to
real Business Intelligence), then
you probably need a column-
based data store.”In two-thirds
of the cases, companies are using
Hadoop for advanced analytics
and for types of analysis that
they were not doing before”.
The technology is much less
likely to be used for analyzing
conventional structured data
such as transaction data,
customer information and
call records, where traditional
RDBMS tools still appear
to have an edge. Despite
Hadoop’s early promise, the
study said, enterprises that use
it still face challenges related
to issues such as security,
clustering and a shortage of
people with Hadoop skills.
During rearrange of acronym
from EDW to DWE, standing
for “data warehouse
environment,” meaning multi-
platform DW.
From the single-platform EDW
to the multi-platform DWE. A
consequence of the workload-
centric approach is a trend
away from the single-platform
monolith of the enterprise
data warehouse (EDW) toward
a physically distributed data
warehouse environment
(DWE). A modern DWE consists
of multiple platform types,
ranging from the traditional
warehouse (which includes
data marts and ODSs) to new
platforms like DW appliances,
columnar DBMSs, noSQL
databases, MapReduce tools,
Hadoop Ecosystems
and HDFS.
In other words, users’
portfolios of tools for BI/
DW and related disciplines
are diversifying aggressively.
The multi-platform approach
adds more complexity to the
DW environment while BI/DW
environments have always
managed complex technology
stacks successfully. The
upside is that users love the
high performance and solid
information outcomes which
they get from workload-tuned
platforms.
As user organizations
dive deeper into big data
analytics, many users
dependsheavily on SQL-
based ad hoc queries as their
primary method for data
exploration and discovery
analytics (sometimes called
investigative analytics). At
the same time, the same
organizations are adopting or
considering Hadoop as their
primary storage platform for
big data. SQL-based analytics
and Hadoop are good choices
in isolation, but bringing them
together has a catch where
Hadoop’s support for queries
is minimal at the moment.
An emerging best practice,
among Data Warehouse
professionals with Hadoop
experience is to manage
diverse big data in HDFS, but
process it and moves the
results (via ETL or other data
integration media) to RDBMSs
(elsewhere in the Data
Warehouse architecture) that
are more conducive to SQL-
based analytics. HDFS serves as
a massive data staging area. A
similar best practice is to use an
RDBMS as a front-end to HDFS
data; this way, data is moved
via queries (whether ad hoc or
standardized), not via ETL jobs.
HDFS serves as a large, diverse
operational data store.
A straightforward solution is
to use a specialized analytic
database management
system (ADBMS) to query
big data in Hadoop and
elsewhere. This way, you get
the rich features and query
optimization capabilities of a
mature ADBMS, along with the
massive data store of Hadoop.
Also compared to Hadoop, an
ADBMS is far more conducive
to the iterative approach to
query development that most
business analysts and data
scientists demand for true
investigative analytics.

LOGISTICS
If there was an area of the economy primed for the use of big data, it’s the travel industry. Big data … offers the poten-
tial for a vast shift for all travel companies, empowering them to enhance both the business and experience of travel.While
big data is a big, complex challenge for many organizations, it is one of the key factors driving the evolution of the travel
industry today and for the foreseeable future. Airlines, hotels, cruise companies, travel management, railways and travel
agencies have an opportunity to improve their business and the customer experience by effectively handling the big data at
their fingertips. It is not easy to collect, identify and analyze all of the bits of disparate data types that comprise big data.
But ignoring big data—is not an option for any travel and transportation industry which wants to remain competitive.
”At the Big Data Crossroads: turning towards a smarter, efficient and effective travel experience.”
Rapid changes and technology
options are making customers
smart shoppers with a
variety of choices via various
channels – phone, web, kiosk,
counter, 3rd-party agency.
They are also becoming more
demanding in the quality and
variety of services available as
a result of rewards systems or
loyalty programs. For travel &
transportation organizations to
capitalize on these and other
challenges in the industry, they
need ways to collect, manage
and analyze a tremendous
volume, variety and velocity
of data. Organizations who
can tackle the big data
challenges will differentiate
from competitors, gain market
share and increase revenue and
profits with innovative new
services.
Travel and transportation
companies are facing many
of the same challenges and
opportunities as other business
segments in terms of managing
risk, enhancing the customer
experience, and ensuring
operational excellence. The
need to balance cost, product/
service quality/safety, and
customer service is endemic
to all businesses.But for travel
and transportation companies,
it is particularly important
because these businesses are
undergoing a fundamental
shift. For these “service”
businesses, the importance
of quality and customer
satisfaction has never been in
question, but they are seeing a
change from “product-related
services” to “information-
related services.”
Smarter transportation
always results in operational
efficiency, improved end-to-end
customer experiences, reduced
fuel consumption and increased
flexibility. Logistics companies
are already working hard to use
sensor data in trucks to optimize
the routing and decrease fuel
consumption. American Travel
Company US Xpress has installed
1.000 sensors in each truck to
monitor where the trucks drive,
how fast it drives, how often it
breaks, when maintenance is
required and even the capabilities
of the driver. But there are
many more opportunities for
the transportation industry
instead of just saving on fuel.
Sensors in railways,trucks,
buses, taxies, cabs, school buses,
tourist buses, city cabs, ships or
airplanes can also give real-time
information about how these
are performing, how fast it is
going and how long it is standing.
With all this data, combined
with sensors that monitor
the health of the engine and
equipment, errors can be
predicted and maintenance
can be prepared without
losing to much time. It is even
possible to automatically
book maintenance at the
service location that requires
the least downtime for the
transportation companies.
While the engineer instantly
knows what the problem is
and how it can be solved. If
transportation usage has not
been optimized, a company
can lose a lot of money. With
sensor data it will get to know
where all trucks are at any
moment off- time, what their
inventory is as well as their
destination. This information
can help the transportation
company to optimize their fleet

beneficial to multiple
functional areas such as
call center, operations,

important is rapid insight,

business to address customer
problems or respond to the
opportunities far more quickly
than previously possible.
The design, development,
and deployment of Big Data
analytical capabilities should
be seen from the outset as an
enterprise wide undertaking
even as nascent initiatives
incubate across different
functions within the business.
The design objectives of an
enterprise wide approach
to Big Data analytics should
include:
o Cross-functional program
governance.
o Alignment of insights
from all sources of Big Data
— consumers, customers,
partners, and suppliers.
o Integrate data to the point
of decision making — leverage
data from wherever it resides.
o Delivering insights within the
decision management context
of the roles they inform —
that is, task aligned and just in
time —and the style in which
and the speed at which the
decisions are made
While the volumes of data are

transition, another prerequisite
to becoming an information-
driven business is to establish
specific set of data science
skills which includes mastering
both a wide spectrum of
analytical proceduresand
having a comprehensive
understanding of the business.
Companies must take new
technologicalapproaches
to explore information..
Disruptive paradigms of data
processingsuch as in-memory
databases and eventually
consistent computing models
promise to solve large-scale
dataanalytics problems at an
economically feasible cost.
A transportation company
already owns a lot of
information. Most of their
data must be refined; only
then can it be transformed
into business value. With Big
Dataanalytics, companies can
achieve the attitude, skillset
and technology required to
become a data refinery and
create additional value from
their information assets.
When companies adopt Big
Data as part of their business
strategy, the first question to
surface is usually whattype
of value Big Data will drive?
Will it contribute to the top or
bottom line, or will there be a
non-financial driver?
In this case, data is used
to make better decisions,
to optimize resource
consumption, and to
improveprocess quality
and performance. It’s what
automated data processing
has always provided, but
with an enhanced set of
capabilities. The second
dimensionis customer
experience; typical aims are
to increase customer loyalty,
perform precise customer
segmentation, and optimize
customer service. Including
the vast data resources of
the public Internet, Big Data
propels CRMtechniques to
the next evolutionary stage.
It also enables new business
models to complement
revenue streams from existing
products, and to create
additional revenue from
entirely new (data) products.
Successfully harnessing big
data can help achieve following
critical objectives for travel &
transportation transformation:
Increasing demands of
customers to have their freight
delivered as fast and cheap
as possible, transportation
companies face a challenge
which can be luckily tackled
with big data.
Maximizing availability of
assets, inventory in hand with
infrastructure.
Enhancing services to
increase revenue and manage
capacity.
Dramatically improve
the end-to-end customer
experience.
Reduction on environmental
impact and increase safety.
Operational efficiency with

Many cities around the world
are experimenting with smart
and intelligent transportation
systems which will eventually
reduce pollution and increase
road safety.Big Data analytics
are essential, helping to
produce an integrated view

ITs Evolution in the
Manufacturing Industry
The manufacturing industry is an integral part of every national economy. Jobs, technology, and
regional trading indexes follow the high and lows of this important industry. Many IT and manufacturing
organizations are paying close attention to this sector, specifically, how manufacturers remain optimistic
about their financial prospects, how they find ways to capitalize on opportunities, or adjust expenses to
compensate for missing projected outcomes. Successes can be found everywhere across
industries, sizes, and regions.
For instance, some companies
lead to product innovation
curve while others are prime
examples of productivity,
sustainability, and quality.
Common to their efforts
has been the use of data
and information systems.
From managing resources
to operational process, and
other business activities,
manufacturers are immersed
in continuous improvement
closed loops that help
companies adapt business
capabilities to top priorities,
sharpen strategy, and stay
competitive.
Our research indicates that
leveraging information
technology to improve the way
they work is closely related
to top performance. In fact,
when we examine what makes
manufacturers breakaway
from their competitors, From
Deming to Lean, Six Sigma,
and Operational Excellence,
and from Business Intelligence
to Big Data, the Best-in-Class
are more likely to use these
technologies to update
business processes and feed
data back into operations as
new best practices emerge.
Manufacturing costs are
controlled and minimized
when there is no latency
between material flow and
information flow. Especially,
in the practice of demand-
based manufacturing, wherein
the vendors that supply
accessories to OEMs are based
on JIT (just-in-time) or in-line
sequencing methodologies, it
is absolutely imperative that a
good information technology
infrastructure is put in place.
The main goal of this IT
infrastructure is to enable
zero latency within and
between business processes
that have stakeholders that
are distributed across the
organization. A good IT
infrastructure in the process
industry is absolutely necessary
for not violating regulatory
or safety norms, to improve
performance and quality via
real-time process monitoring,
and finally, improve reliability
via appropriate maintenance,
driven by up-to-date
information on equipment
status. A good IT information
infrastructure in manufacturing
has five levels.
The lowest level is the ‘control
systems layer’ which directly
controls the equipment used
for producing the product.
At this level, the information
gathered is control data and
the output signal achieved from
the said device/equipment for a
certain input and controller. The
second level is the ‘supervisory
control layer,’ wherein,

“As a very large amount of
information is generated
during the manufacturing
process of a product;
involving design,
prototyping, its testing
and final production,
modern tools involving
the use of Information
Technology have become
highly important. Making
information available in
real time, and receiving
feedback from and of
a system are vital to
manufacturers, especially
to those involved in product
innovation. This is precisely
where IT contributes
greatly to the sector.
Additionally, the use of IT in
manufacturing has resulted
in reduction of wastage,
positively affecting
company’s bottom lines
and environmental impact.
The development and
implementation of new
information technology
based systems to meet the
goals of a manufacturing
organization will be
essential for the growth
and competitiveness
of manufacturing
organizations in the 21st
century.”

are installed for exercising
supervisory control and
acquisition of process data and
information.
The third layer is that of the
manufacturing execution
systems – a ‘production
management functional
layer’ encompassing product
life cycle management
(including computer-aided
design), management of all
production operations such
as scheduling of production,
dispatch of production orders,
data collection on production
orders, production reporting
and analysis, tracking materials
and genealogy, etc.
The fourth layer is the ‘plant
to enterprise connection layer’
wherein the business processes
of the plant are connected to
the business processes of the
enterprise. The connection is
established by a business rules
engine that establishes the
link between plant systems
and enterprise systems for
information sharing, analysis
and reporting. The final layer
is the ‘enterprise application
layer’ which has all of the
enterprise level applications
such as ERP, enterprise asset
management, supply chain
management, customer
relations management, etc.
A good infrastructure will
seamlessly tie in one layer with
the other so that all of the
layers are interconnected in
real time.
The technologies that are
used for various applications
include, but are not limited
to, state-of-the-art in Web
2.0, database programming,
service-oriented architecture,
systems and network analysis,
wireless communication,
enterprise mobility, design,
and application of new
technologies in the domain
areas of artificial intelligence,
operations research, global
optimization, theory of
constraints, simulated
annealing, stochastic predictive
modelling and so on. Real-time
and non-real-time operating
systems are used, based on
the mission-criticality of the
operations.
For instance, maintenance is a
function that not only concerns
the maintenance organization
within the company but has
an impact on production (via
the need for availability),
inventory (for spares),
purchasing (for procurement
of spares, tools), finance (for
budgeting, asset replenishment,
replacement, etc.), logistics (for
scheduling, dispatching and
executing maintenance work
orders), corporate executive
management (business
strategy for ensuring lower
manufacturing cost, and/or
increasing reliability in order to
get better return on production
assets) and so on.
This concept of achieving a
unified synthesis of existing
business processes, knowledge,
data, etc., within the company,
which are buried in disparate
applications, divisions and
departments using a zero
latency infrastructure is now
called ‘enabling a real-time
enterprise.’ By using the real-
time enterprise infrastructure,
a manufacturing organization
can assist its management and
labor to maximize performance
efficiency, manufacturing
effectiveness, quality, reliability,
and thereby increase the
competitive advantage leading
to better market share and
better return to shareholders.
Recent news about job gains
or lack and manufacturing
sector growth remind us that
there are numerous ways to
achieve success. Some people
focus on the potential of micro
regions around the world.
Others believe in continuous
improvement cycles that
encourage companies to thrive
in tough conditions and with
fewer resources. Technology is
buzzing with activity describing
how mobility, cloud computing,
and Big Data are shaping
efficiency. Manufacturing
organizations like to connect
success with customer needs.
They tend to focus on innovation
to bring better products and
services to the market. Others
pay attention to strengthening
Supply Chain Management
– which is becoming part of
manufacturing inefficiencies
and risks.
Labor, capital, materials,
and assets represent key
areas for keeping companies
in business in the long run,
so manufacturers continue
positioning resources
management at the top of
their priorities. Opportunities
to succeed are everywhere
and the common denominator
is quality. Most companies
rightfully describe quality as
their competitive advantage.
Manufacturer executives
tend to use quality to manage
intangible assets such as
brand and reputation. These
arguments imply that quality
is not fixed in time or assigned
to a product, a supplier, or a
single company initiative. It
represents how the dynamic
force of quality influences all
operational tactics, enables
learning new things; accelerate
opportunities, or how
companies bounce back from
failure.
Quality principles explain that
growth doesn’t depend on
a best practice; it is how you
adapt and respond to the
specific situation. Good quality
as a common denominator
makes company leaders aware
of change including new risky
situations, new customer
needs, new competitors,
and new priorities as well
as the chances for success
measured in terms of customer
satisfaction.
Review finds that margin
growth (60%) and organic
revenue growth (43%)
are the top two goals for
manufacturers in 2014.

growing pains. No longer can

IT in manufacturing is
the most vital tool in
21st century. It enable
manufacturers to virtually

IT help manufacturers
to enable the transfer,

also facilitates mailing
services, telephone and

The Internet traffic is
increasing day by day and

Globalization.
IT has connected the
world in its web of
opportunities and has
made manufacturers’ life
more exciting and easier
like never before.
more efficient in managing
front and back-office processes.
Today’s manufacturers are also
required to be increasingly
innovative and more agile in
decision-making to stay ahead
of competitors, and provide
greater value to customers. In
many cases, it is no longer safe
to provide the same products
to the same customers
without change. Therefore,
manufacturers must enable
collaboration and access to
greater amounts of data. It has
been found that Enterprise
Resource Planning should
enable manufacturers to
accomplish these goals.
There is no argument against
the power of data as fuel for
organizational transformation.
Manufacturing companies
want operational visibility
to anticipate risks and close
performance gaps. They also
want a greater understanding
of users to direct innovation
efforts, operational incentives
to increase competitive
capabilities, and opportunities
for partnerships to grow.
Data is of paramount
importance to support those
and other decisions that help
manufacturers gain quality,
improvements, and efficiencies.
What a difference a decade
makes. Fresh from their MBA
school degrees and “measure
to improve” as motto,
manufacturing executives
from the early 1990s used
spreadsheets to manage by
numbers.
Later on, Business Intelligence
tools were used to analyze
metrics, define controls,
and create performance
dashboards. The internet
amplified the data explosion.
Social media expanded the
data structures by adding
pictures, text messages, likes,
preferences, and behaviors
to define personas for users
of internet technology. Cloud
computing has also expanded
data storage, processing, and
sharing options. More recently,
advances in mobility allow for
quick access to information.
The difference is that
manufacturing organizations
understand that everyone
can benefit from using data
to support decisions that help
improve the way they work.
Today’s game changing insight
is data in the right form at
the right time and in the right
hands. This requires that
manufacturing organizations
must reach for opportunities
to bring manufacturing data to
the forefront. Users need help
to make sense of data in order
to prepare plans, execute, and
measure effectiveness. Data,
facts, and insight complement
intellect and expertise which
increases the decision-making
ability at all levels of the
organization. When managed
effectively, manufacturing
data can help companies grow
and support the vision for
a knowledgeable and more
effective organization.
When the strategy is to
improve, tactics turns into
data trails and information
management. Primarily,
we want to collect the
thoughts and insights of the
manufacturing community
about Big Data as a driver
for improvements, but also
to understand opportunities
that are materializing in this
sector. During the study we
will connect with users via
a questionnaire and 1-on-
1 interviews. Additionally,
we look at how users adapt
technology solutions to fit
their needs. Another reason
for participating is personal
development. People want
to know how to use data
effectively. Conversations
quickly evolve to their vision

“For any industry, there is
a need for IT solutions –
to have better planning/

Others want access to more
and different knowledge.
There is increasing interest
in behaviors, events, and
actions. Culture is always
factor. Solutions – Business
intelligence tools, analytics
embedded in enterprise
systems, or homegrown
solutions can help transform
data into knowledge and value.
Users have plenty of options:
Enterprise solutions from SAP
and production software from
Apriso can be architected to
take control of operational
data across all facilities, and
all countries. Preventive,
defensive, and triage activities
can be supported by a
combination of Microsoft and
Honeywell solutions for both
plant and enterprise users.
Visualization and analysis from
Product based companies can
help manufacturers identify
what they don’t know about
warranty or asset reliability.
Applications to manage specific
quality tests from Viewpoint
Systems can connect R&D and
system engineers with the data
that they need to characterize
product degradation.
Manufacturers are in the
interesting position of being
in control of massive amounts
of data and being driven to do
their job better. Perhaps you’re
already familiar with how Big
Data is helping companies map
customers and opportunities,
customize products, or
increase user experience.
While this is important, we
want to also look into how
manufacturing intelligence
(MI) can be used to arm
ordinary people with facts and
operational knowledge, so they
can take extraordinary actions
that lead to productivity gains.

must be made as towhether a
particular bit of data deserves
to be captured, and whether it
has relevancewhen combined
with other data. For example,
the face of a known criminal
amongthousands of images
might trigger a “stop”; a
pattern of credit fraud might set
offwarnings; and indications of
growing customer churn might
inspire a coupon offer.Anytime
there is an important anomaly in
the data, it needs to be pointed
out beforethe data is stored
so that real-time action can
be taken. By its very nature,
network traffic is Big Data. In
just one slice of the network—
the mobilenetwork—there are
6 billion mobile subscriptions
in the world, and every day, 10
billion textmessages are sent.

2) The sheer volume of
Big Data overwhelms the
normal data warehouse. For
example,Facebook reports
that its users register 2.7 billion
likes and comments per day.
For many, this magnitude of
data is intimidating: they can’t
keep up with it, much less sort
it,analyze it, and extract value
from it.
SMEs Empowerment through Big Data Analytics
Big Data comes with big challenges. Today, as data transcends into the ever-expanding
realm of Big Data, a growing community of expertsis beginning to agree. They see in
Big Data the same transformative, wealth-creating power. The problem today is that the
ever-increasingdeluge of information—terabytes to petabytes to Exabytes—threatens to
swamp us in a gusher of unfiltered, unstructured, unprocessed, and seemingly unmanageable
information. As things stand now, the data ecosystem is highly fragmented. Between those
who create data and those who could potentially extract value from it sits a labyrinth
fraught withcomplexity, disparity, and miscommunication.If analytics are to be the new
“refinery,” some of that fragmentation will need to be addressed with greater connectivity,
trust, and efficiency.
3) All of that data can be
challenging to manage when
flooding in at a velocity
that, formany players, far
outpaces their processing
ability. In order for Big Data
to be a game changer, it
needs to be analyzed at a rate
that matches the blistering
speed at whichinformation
enters data warehouses.
In microseconds, decisions

1Anniversary
True Nature of Big Data, in
seeking better-informed
decision making, many
organizations are running data
warehouses and employing
traditional data analytics—
to reduce churn, bolster
campaigneffectiveness, and
counter fraud, to name a
few applications. Big Data
represents arevolutionary step
forward from traditional data
analysis, characterized by its
three mainelements: variety,
volume, and velocity.
1) The variety of data comes
in two flavors: structured
and unstructured. Structured
dataenters a data warehouse
already tagged and is easily
sorted. The vast majority
of today’s data, however,
is unstructured, and fed by
sources such as Facebook,
Twitter,and video content. It’s
random, difficult to analyze,
and enormous.

Big Data can also change how
we interact with businesses.
Moment to moment,
consumers’interactions with
the world around them create
an often-ignored by-product:
massiveamounts of personal
data. These include searches
on weather, price comparisons,
purchases, and thousands of
other daily choices and actions.
By analyzing the datagenerated
by all of this activity, Big Data
offers an opportunity to
revolutionize the wayconsumers
and sellers interact.
Some businesses are already
moving to take action. Here are
a few examples:
1) Wal-Mart’s inventory
management implemented
radio frequency identification
(RFID)technology to connect
real-time information between
suppliers and its Retail Link
datawarehouse. In the process,
it reduced out-of-stocks by an
estimated 16 percent.
2) FedEx achieved real-time
visibility with shipping and
consumer data across more
than46,000 distribution and
supply chain locations.
Integration of its clinical and
cost data led to the discovery
of Vioxx’s adverse effectsand
subsequent withdrawal of
the drug from the market.
Consequently, Big Data has
already become top of mind
among CIOs.
1. Revenue Assurance.
Integrating intra-company
data could hone identification
andprevent fraud before
it occurs. Fraud-intensive
industries such as healthcare
would particularly benefit.
2. Risk Mitigation. Every day,
networks carry petabytes
of critical information for
enterprises, governments, and
consumers, opening an ever-
increasing risk ofintrusions and
security attacks. Data federation
across wider geographic and
networkfootprints would enable
identification of suspicious
patterns while signaling the
needfor immediate action.
3. Customer Lifecycle. Businesses
can zero in on instances of
customer frustrationand offer
an immediate response, thereby
improving the consumer
experience and lessening churn.
Any service-based industry
that values its customer
relationshipswould benefit.
4. Market Execution. Big Data
enables better market services
through analytics, creating
improved opportunities for
cross-selling and up-selling.
Banking and Internet commerce
stand out as potential
beneficiaries.
5. Product Innovation. Consumer
input is critical in product
development, and today many
companies are already clamoring
to know more about the likes
and dislikes oftheir customers.
Integrating noncompany
sources of data such as social-
networkfeeds would provide
a more holistic view of how
consumers feel about a product,
potentially revealing the need
for a new product before it is
imagined or on thedrawing
board.
SMEs are beginning to see big
data as something more than
just an enterprise trend. Some
are starting to realize that they
can identify trends, patterns
and gain competitive advantage
by harnessing the power of
growing data volumes. But he
cautions that before rushing to
implement a big data solution,
small businesses need to take
a step back and remember that
bigger is not necessarily better.
SMEs need to keep a sharp eye
on cost and execution and take
stock of their needs before

establishing a data strategy.
Smaller data sets from CRM
platforms, social media or email
marketing programmes can still
provide much-needed insight
to help businesses understand
customer behavior patterns and
showcase trends. The key is to
find the appropriate vehicle to
visualize and present this data
in a way that reveals overlooked
opportunities and actionable
insights. This is what could
make big data, assuming you
can still call it big data, viable
to deploy for SME businesses.
Instead of a bank-breaking big
data solution, small businesses
should focus their efforts and
dive deep into a few business-
critical sets of data – such as
sales in a specific sector, or
performance metrics during
peak versus low seasons. This
strategy will provide quicker and
better results than companies
that try to take on too much.
Little data can yield big results
for many departments of small
businesses, for everyone from
the sales department to the
executive director.
SMEs should be looking at big
data. Interest in big data has
reached new heights for many
SMEs as they attempt to capture
information and glean insights
from ongoing conversations on
social channels and the ‘digital
dust’ consumers leave when
browsing the web, shopping
online, listening to music in the
cloud and using smartphone
applications. Like many other
businesses, SMEs need to glean
a better understanding of often
volatile consumer behavior to
know what they want before
consumers do themselves.
The problem is that many SMEs
lack big data expertise, are the
technologies to achieve these
goals are available and more
affordable than most small
businesses expect, especially
when factoring in the losses
from a lack of investment in a
world where competitors are.
What’s required are the smarts
– knowing which questions to
ask of the data and how the
organization can best use what
it finds.
SMEs that have decided against
big data projects or are still
hesitant imagine the major
inhibitors to be not enough
staff with expertise and the
expected cost of big data
initiatives.Nevertheless, business
managers need to grasp the
nettle.
We generally don’t need
mountains of data to gain
insight from it: we simply need
to be asking the right questions,
and smaller companies are
just as capable of asking
intelligent questions as bigger
companies. Whether it be for
big data or little data. Many
SMEs are already running big
data technology within their
enterprise without even thinking
about it as such, with MongoDB
or another NoSQL database.
MongoDB is already running
in many businesses because
of its ease of use and dynamic
schema, so SMEs that want
to get started with a big data
project need not invest heavily
in learning new technologies.
Even Hadoop, which is complex,
is likely to have its complexity
hidden in the near future with
applications that SMEs will use,
pointing to companies such as
Datameer, MetaMarkets and
Infochimps.
Big data advisors
Channel partners can play a
significant role in the promotion
and implementation of big data
technologies.By integrating a
vendor’s solution with other
sector-specific tools, the channel
can cater to the individual
needs of an SME customer
and eliminate the need for
multiple expensive solutions.
The channel plays an important
role in being able to aggregate
and manage data from many
different sources, coming from
a combination of cloud and
on-premise applications. Their
knowledge of a vertical or
market segment will provide a
huge value-add for customers.
SMEs can make great use of
big data if it includes drilling
down to the machine data layer:
Monitoring and understanding
machine data can enable
companies to identify and
resolve IT and security issues
with an accuracy and immediacy
not previously possible.There’s
a really key role that the channel
can play in helping companies
of all sizes, SMEs included,
to understand that using
big data – particularly at the
machine data level – can have a
profound effect on operational
intelligence.Massively improved
IT systems management, rapid
response to security threats
and streamlined compliance
processes that channel partners
can leverage with SMEs as
easyto- understand, quick-win
scenarios.Channel partners can
play a huge role in delivering
big data to the SME market, as
they can offer bespoke vertical
solutions – such as retail, Telco
or utilities-specific know-
how or applications.Further,
channel partners interact with
customers on a daily basis and
understand their requirements
better than vendors. They can
also add training and services to
differentiate their offering. Most
partners are missing a trick with
the SME market at the moment.
For now, most channel partners
seem more tuned to enterprise
needs, which can assume more
control of big data technologies
such as Hadoop because of their
inherently larger staff. But this
overlooks a huge opportunity in
the SME market, where the bulk
of the world’s companies are,
and where most of the world’s
data is too. The channel partners
which can tap this market will
win big in big data.
By giving SMEs access to
financing that brings these
technologies within their reach
in an affordable way, big data/
analytics capability is making
its way to smaller companies
quickly. It’s a trend that’s
only going to grow for small
businesses. If those SMEs
collaborate with a channel
partner, they can take advantage
of some of the most effective
methods to gain necessary data
insight, while gaining a deep
level of industry expertise.
LEADER SPEAK
“In General, the trend for Small
& Medium Enterprise is very
encouraging in India, but being
competitive in the changing
scenario is the prime factor to get
to the top. They should always
try to reduce manufacturing costs
along with quality systems, which
can help them in terms of efficient
pricing & quality product.
Also, proper marketing planning
will give an edge to the small &
medium enterprises since they got
limited marketing budget, wants
maximum returns out of it and
also they may not have marketing
expertise. Marketing Plan should
always be linked with business goals
& objectives.
Expertise, Innovation & Networking
will fix the success of the SME in
this competitive market.”
Jyoti MIshra
Executive, Nord India
“Today supply chains are big, complex and global. Keeping them humming is an enormous challenge.
We think the world is entering the era of small, simple and local supply chains, powered by a new
generation of manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, intelligent assembly robotics and
open-source hardware – also known as the Software Defined Supply Chain”.
Rapid Prototyping and Additive Manufacturing
with Big Data Analytics
Prototyping is used to
evaluate and test the
design, ergonomics, safety,
functionality and other aspects
of a device. Choosing the right
prototyping process can enable
companies to notice design
errors and other issues that
could later cause significant
problems, thereby saving both
money and time.
Conventional prototyping
methods such as machining,
injection moulding and soft
tooling can provide high-quality
and highly accurate prototypes.
However, these processes can
be time-consuming, expensive
and complicated.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping for Direct
Digital Manufacturing deals
with various aspects of joining
materials to form parts. Additive
Manufacturing (AM) is an
automated technique for direct
conversion of 3D CAD data into
physical objects using a variety of
approaches. Manufacturers have
been using these technologies
in order to reduce development
cycle times and get their
products to the market quicker,
more cost effectively, and
with added value due to the
incorporation of customizable
features. Realizing the
potential of Additive
Manufacturing applications,
a large number of processes
have been developed allowing
the use of various materials
ranging from plastics to metals
for product development.
Rapid prototyping methods
have dramatically changed
the landscape, allowing for
a prototype to be made in
as little as one day.In some
circumstances, the same
methods can be used to make
the final product, further
speeding up the production
process by means of additive
manufacturing.
Rapid prototyping methods
The most common types of
rapid prototyping methods
are additive technologies,
meaning that the model is built
by adding material layer by
layer. By contrast, subtractive
prototyping methods create a
and drilling.A rapid prototype
originates with a computer
model. Typically, this model
is fabricated using computer-
aided design (CAD). In some
cases, where the final product
will be custom-made. A
prototyping machine reads the
computer data and slices it into
different layers. The machine
then builds the prototype by
adding material layer by layer.
Additive Manufacturing
Additive Manufacturing
enables the fast, flexible and
cost-efficient production of
parts directly from 3D CAD
data – a technology that helps
you to perform your tasks in an
innovative way.
Additive Manufacturing refers
to a process by which digital 3D
design data is used to build up
a component in layers by

to get better availability and
better throughput, or you can
go further to the optimization
side. Big data can also be
used to compare one plant to
another on the equipment-to-
equipment level.
If you have 50 to 200 plants,
you want to see the best
practices across all of the
plants. You can see what
aspects of the equipment
breaks down the most. The big
data gives you temperature,
pressure, and maintenance
records. You can see shop
floor notes that offer insight
into why some equipment
is breaking. When you’re
producing a lot of data, you
can use that data to get your
efficiency up and your defects
down.
Big data, along with complex
analytics that can help to
better monitor and analyze
parts during the laser sintering
process. Perhaps most
importantly, the technology
will be able to monitor any
temperature abnormalities
that could structurally impact,
compromise the nozzle during
Additive Manufacturing.
Companies estimated that the
big-data-enabled “in-process”
inspection could increase
production speeds by 25
percent, while cutting down on
inspection after the building
process is complete by that
same 25 percent.

Functional Principle
The system starts by applying
a thin layer of the powder
material to the building
platform. A powerful laser
beam then fuses the powder
at exactly the points defined
by the computer-generated
component design data. The
platform is then lowered
and another layer of powder
is applied. Once again the
material is fused so as to
bond with the layer below
at the predefined points.
Depending on the material
used, components can
be manufactured using
stereolithography, laser
sintering or 3D printing.

But instead of replacing existing technologies, Hadoop appears to be working alongside conventional relational database management systems (RDBMS). Hadoop is designed to help companies manage and process petabytes of data. The technology’s appeal lies in its ability to break up very large data sets into smaller data blocks that are then distributed across a cluster of commodity hardware for faster processing. Apache Hadoop is an open- source software framework for storage and large scale processing of data-sets on clusters of commodity hardware. Hadoop is an Apache top-level project being built and used by a global community of contributors and users. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Apache Hadoop framework has following modules: • Hadoop Common - contains libraries and utilities needed by other Hadoop modules • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) - a distributed file-system that stores data on commodity machines, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. • Hadoop YARN - a resource- management platform responsible for managing compute resources in clusters and using them for scheduling of users’ applications. • Hadoop MapReduce - a programming model for large scale data processing. Hadoop’s integral part of Hadoop File System and MapReduce, which has been well designed to handle huge volumes of data across a large number of nodes. At a high level, Hadoop leverages parallel processing across many commodity servers to respond to client applications. The key difference is, rather than only looking at parallel computing, it looks at parallelizing the data access. (Above picture shows Hadoop Ecosystem and cluster details) This all sounds great, but in reality Hadoop is designed for large files, not large quantities of small files, so if you have millions of 50 Kb documents, that is not Hadoop’s sweet spot. What Big Data really is ? While the volumes of data are growing by leaps and bounds from many sources, such as social media, location data, loyalty information, operations and supply chain, the type of information is also an issue. It may be structured, semi- structured or unstructured. Making sense of and gaining knowledge from this data to achieve a competitive advantage should be the driving goal. So if you have Big Data and need to search and sort through the bulk of that data, then Hadoop may serve your purpose. If the majority of the data is structured or even unstructured but you are able to add structured meta-data describing the unstructured portion and you want to run standard reports on the structured portion or retrieve individual unstructured elements then standard databases may suit your needs. If you have structured, semi-structured, or unstructured with structured meta-data, and want to run complex analyses on the data, to predict or ask questions outside of the standard reports, questions which cannot be prepared in advance (i.e. the types of queries most valuable to real Business Intelligence), then you probably need a column- based data store.”In two-thirds of the cases, companies are using Hadoop for advanced analytics and for types of analysis that they were not doing before”. The technology is much less likely to be used for analyzing conventional structured data such as transaction data, customer information and call records, where traditional RDBMS tools still appear to have an edge. Despite Hadoop’s early promise, the study said, enterprises that use it still face challenges related to issues such as security, clustering and a shortage of people with Hadoop skills. During rearrange of acronym from EDW to DWE, standing for “data warehouse environment,” meaning multi- platform DW. From the single-platform EDW to the multi-platform DWE. A consequence of the workload- centric approach is a trend away from the single-platform monolith of the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) toward a physically distributed data warehouse environment (DWE). A modern DWE consists of multiple platform types, ranging from the traditional warehouse (which includes data marts and ODSs) to new platforms like DW appliances, columnar DBMSs, noSQL databases, MapReduce tools, Hadoop Ecosystems and HDFS. In other words, users’ portfolios of tools for BI/ DW and related disciplines are diversifying aggressively. The multi-platform approach adds more complexity to the DW environment while BI/DW environments have always managed complex technology stacks successfully. The upside is that users love the high performance and solid information outcomes which they get from workload-tuned platforms. As user organizations dive deeper into big data analytics, many users dependsheavily on SQL- based ad hoc queries as their primary method for data exploration and discovery analytics (sometimes called investigative analytics). At the same time, the same organizations are adopting or considering Hadoop as their primary storage platform for big data. SQL-based analytics and Hadoop are good choices in isolation, but bringing them together has a catch where Hadoop’s support for queries is minimal at the moment. An emerging best practice, among Data Warehouse professionals with Hadoop experience is to manage diverse big data in HDFS, but process it and moves the results (via ETL or other data integration media) to RDBMSs (elsewhere in the Data Warehouse architecture) that are more conducive to SQL- based analytics. HDFS serves as a massive data staging area. A similar best practice is to use an RDBMS as a front-end to HDFS data; this way, data is moved via queries (whether ad hoc or standardized), not via ETL jobs. HDFS serves as a large, diverse operational data store. A straightforward solution is to use a specialized analytic database management system (ADBMS) to query big data in Hadoop and elsewhere. This way, you get the rich features and query optimization capabilities of a mature ADBMS, along with the massive data store of Hadoop. Also compared to Hadoop, an ADBMS is far more conducive to the iterative approach to query development that most business analysts and data scientists demand for true investigative analytics.

Big data … offers the poten- tial for a vast shift for all travel companies, empowering them to enhance both the business and experience of travel.While big data is a big, complex challenge for many organizations, it is one of the key factors driving the evolution of the travel industry today and for the foreseeable future. Airlines, hotels, cruise companies, travel management, railways and travel agencies have an opportunity to improve their business and the customer experience by effectively handling the big data at their fingertips. It is not easy to collect, identify and analyze all of the bits of disparate data types that comprise big data. But ignoring big data—is not an option for any travel and transportation industry which wants to remain competitive. ”At the Big Data Crossroads: turning towards a smarter, efficient and effective travel experience.” Rapid changes and technology options are making customers smart shoppers with a variety of choices via various channels – phone, web, kiosk, counter, 3rd-party agency. They are also becoming more demanding in the quality and variety of services available as a result of rewards systems or loyalty programs. For travel & transportation organizations to capitalize on these and other challenges in the industry, they need ways to collect, manage and analyze a tremendous volume, variety and velocity of data. Organizations who can tackle the big data challenges will differentiate from competitors, gain market share and increase revenue and profits with innovative new services. Travel and transportation companies are facing many of the same challenges and opportunities as other business segments in terms of managing risk, enhancing the customer experience, and ensuring operational excellence. The need to balance cost, product/ service quality/safety, and customer service is endemic to all businesses.But for travel and transportation companies, it is particularly important because these businesses are undergoing a fundamental shift. For these “service” businesses, the importance of quality and customer satisfaction has never been in question, but they are seeing a change from “product-related services” to “information- related services.” Smarter transportation always results in operational efficiency, improved end-to-end customer experiences, reduced fuel consumption and increased flexibility. Logistics companies are already working hard to use sensor data in trucks to optimize the routing and decrease fuel consumption. American Travel Company US Xpress has installed 1.000 sensors in each truck to monitor where the trucks drive, how fast it drives, how often it breaks, when maintenance is required and even the capabilities of the driver. But there are many more opportunities for the transportation industry instead of just saving on fuel. Sensors in railways,trucks, buses, taxies, cabs, school buses, tourist buses, city cabs, ships or airplanes can also give real-time information about how these are performing, how fast it is going and how long it is standing. With all this data, combined with sensors that monitor the health of the engine and equipment, errors can be predicted and maintenance can be prepared without losing to much time. It is even possible to automatically book maintenance at the service location that requires the least downtime for the transportation companies. While the engineer instantly knows what the problem is and how it can be solved. If transportation usage has not been optimized, a company can lose a lot of money. With sensor data it will get to know where all trucks are at any moment off- time, what their inventory is as well as their destination. This information can help the transportation company to optimize their fleet Examples of Data Collection system for Transportation and Travel companies. Data collection from different sources to separate databases is a challenge. and increase efficiency. Data Analytics for Transportation system. It is important to know the exact inventory at all times, especially if last minute changes is needed to be made. When all products contain sensors which can be tracked in real time. Analytic insight can be beneficial to multiple functional areas such as call center, operations, marketing and sales. Most important is rapid insight, enables these parts of the business to address customer problems or respond to the opportunities far more quickly than previously possible. The design, development, and deployment of Big Data analytical capabilities should be seen from the outset as an enterprise wide undertaking even as nascent initiatives incubate across different functions within the business. The design objectives of an enterprise wide approach to Big Data analytics should include: o Cross-functional program governance. o Alignment of insights from all sources of Big Data — consumers, customers, partners, and suppliers. o Integrate data to the point of decision making — leverage data from wherever it resides. o Delivering insights within the decision management context of the roles they inform — that is, task aligned and just in time —and the style in which and the speed at which the decisions are made While the volumes of data are growing by leaps and bounds from many sources, such as social media, location data, loyalty information, operations and supply chain, the type of information is also an issue. It may be structured, semi- structured or unstructured. Making sense of and gaining knowledge from this data to achieve a competitive advantage should be the driving goal. So if you have Big Data and need to search and sort through the bulk of that data, then Hadoop may serve your purpose. If the majority of the data is structured or even unstructured but you are able to add structured meta-data describing the unstructured portion and you want to run standard reports on the structured portion or retrieve individual unstructured elements then standard databases may suit your needs.

Companies must take new technologicalapproaches to explore information.. Disruptive paradigms of data processingsuch as in-memory databases and eventually consistent computing models promise to solve large-scale dataanalytics problems at an economically feasible cost. A transportation company already owns a lot of information. Most of their data must be refined; only then can it be transformed into business value. With Big Dataanalytics, companies can achieve the attitude, skillset and technology required to become a data refinery and create additional value from their information assets. When companies adopt Big Data as part of their business strategy, the first question to surface is usually whattype of value Big Data will drive? Will it contribute to the top or bottom line, or will there be a non-financial driver? In this case, data is used to make better decisions, to optimize resource consumption, and to improveprocess quality and performance. It’s what automated data processing has always provided, but with an enhanced set of capabilities. The second dimensionis customer experience; typical aims are to increase customer loyalty, perform precise customer segmentation, and optimize customer service. Including the vast data resources of the public Internet, Big Data propels CRMtechniques to the next evolutionary stage. It also enables new business models to complement revenue streams from existing products, and to create additional revenue from entirely new (data) products. Successfully harnessing big data can help achieve following critical objectives for travel & transportation transformation: Increasing demands of customers to have their freight delivered as fast and cheap as possible, transportation companies face a challenge which can be luckily tackled with big data. Maximizing availability of assets, inventory in hand with infrastructure. Enhancing services to increase revenue and manage capacity. Dramatically improve the end-to-end customer experience. Reduction on environmental impact and increase safety. Operational efficiency with Real-time route optimization. Predictive network and capacity planning Strategic network planning Operational capacity planning Many cities around the world are experimenting with smart and intelligent transportation systems which will eventually reduce pollution and increase road safety.Big Data analytics are essential, helping to produce an integrated view of customer interactions and operational performance to ensure sender and recipient satisfaction. Conclusion is that in immediate future we all will be seeing amajor revolution in this area due to Big Data Analytics. The author Rajesh Angadi completed his BE, MBA, PMP and is Hadoop Certified.

Jobs, technology, and regional trading indexes follow the high and lows of this important industry. Many IT and manufacturing organizations are paying close attention to this sector, specifically, how manufacturers remain optimistic about their financial prospects, how they find ways to capitalize on opportunities, or adjust expenses to compensate for missing projected outcomes. Successes can be found everywhere across industries, sizes, and regions. For instance, some companies lead to product innovation curve while others are prime examples of productivity, sustainability, and quality. Common to their efforts has been the use of data and information systems. From managing resources to operational process, and other business activities, manufacturers are immersed in continuous improvement closed loops that help companies adapt business capabilities to top priorities, sharpen strategy, and stay competitive. Our research indicates that leveraging information technology to improve the way they work is closely related to top performance. In fact, when we examine what makes manufacturers breakaway from their competitors, From Deming to Lean, Six Sigma, and Operational Excellence, and from Business Intelligence to Big Data, the Best-in-Class are more likely to use these technologies to update business processes and feed data back into operations as new best practices emerge. Manufacturing costs are controlled and minimized when there is no latency between material flow and information flow. Especially, in the practice of demand- based manufacturing, wherein the vendors that supply accessories to OEMs are based on JIT (just-in-time) or in-line sequencing methodologies, it is absolutely imperative that a good information technology infrastructure is put in place. The main goal of this IT infrastructure is to enable zero latency within and between business processes that have stakeholders that are distributed across the organization. A good IT infrastructure in the process industry is absolutely necessary for not violating regulatory or safety norms, to improve performance and quality via real-time process monitoring, and finally, improve reliability via appropriate maintenance, driven by up-to-date information on equipment status. A good IT information infrastructure in manufacturing has five levels. The lowest level is the ‘control systems layer’ which directly controls the equipment used for producing the product. At this level, the information gathered is control data and the output signal achieved from the said device/equipment for a certain input and controller. The second level is the ‘supervisory control layer,’ wherein, ‘Supervisory Controllers and Data Acquisition systems’ (SCADAs), VSAT(Very Small Aperture Terminal), VCON( Rajesh Angadi Vrushal Phadnis Director, Losma India Pvt. Ltd www.losma.in “As a very large amount of information is generated during the manufacturing process of a product; involving design, prototyping, its testing and final production, modern tools involving the use of Information Technology have become highly important. Making information available in real time, and receiving feedback from and of a system are vital to manufacturers, especially to those involved in product innovation. This is precisely where IT contributes greatly to the sector. Additionally, the use of IT in manufacturing has resulted in reduction of wastage, positively affecting company’s bottom lines and environmental impact. The development and implementation of new information technology based systems to meet the goals of a manufacturing organization will be essential for the growth and competitiveness of manufacturing organizations in the 21st century.” IT IN MANUFACTURING

The third layer is that of the manufacturing execution systems – a ‘production management functional layer’ encompassing product life cycle management (including computer-aided design), management of all production operations such as scheduling of production, dispatch of production orders, data collection on production orders, production reporting and analysis, tracking materials and genealogy, etc. The fourth layer is the ‘plant to enterprise connection layer’ wherein the business processes of the plant are connected to the business processes of the enterprise. The connection is established by a business rules engine that establishes the link between plant systems and enterprise systems for information sharing, analysis and reporting. The final layer is the ‘enterprise application layer’ which has all of the enterprise level applications such as ERP, enterprise asset management, supply chain management, customer relations management, etc. A good infrastructure will seamlessly tie in one layer with the other so that all of the layers are interconnected in real time. The technologies that are used for various applications include, but are not limited to, state-of-the-art in Web 2.0, database programming, service-oriented architecture, systems and network analysis, wireless communication, enterprise mobility, design, and application of new technologies in the domain areas of artificial intelligence, operations research, global optimization, theory of constraints, simulated annealing, stochastic predictive modelling and so on. Real-time and non-real-time operating systems are used, based on the mission-criticality of the operations. For instance, maintenance is a function that not only concerns the maintenance organization within the company but has an impact on production (via the need for availability), inventory (for spares), purchasing (for procurement of spares, tools), finance (for budgeting, asset replenishment, replacement, etc.), logistics (for scheduling, dispatching and executing maintenance work orders), corporate executive management (business strategy for ensuring lower manufacturing cost, and/or increasing reliability in order to get better return on production assets) and so on. This concept of achieving a unified synthesis of existing business processes, knowledge, data, etc., within the company, which are buried in disparate applications, divisions and departments using a zero latency infrastructure is now called ‘enabling a real-time enterprise.’ By using the real- time enterprise infrastructure, a manufacturing organization can assist its management and labor to maximize performance efficiency, manufacturing effectiveness, quality, reliability, and thereby increase the competitive advantage leading to better market share and better return to shareholders. Recent news about job gains or lack and manufacturing sector growth remind us that there are numerous ways to achieve success. Some people focus on the potential of micro regions around the world. Others believe in continuous improvement cycles that encourage companies to thrive in tough conditions and with fewer resources. Technology is buzzing with activity describing how mobility, cloud computing, and Big Data are shaping efficiency. Manufacturing organizations like to connect success with customer needs. They tend to focus on innovation to bring better products and services to the market. Others pay attention to strengthening Supply Chain Management – which is becoming part of manufacturing inefficiencies and risks. Labor, capital, materials, and assets represent key areas for keeping companies in business in the long run, so manufacturers continue positioning resources management at the top of their priorities. Opportunities to succeed are everywhere and the common denominator is quality. Most companies rightfully describe quality as their competitive advantage. Manufacturer executives tend to use quality to manage intangible assets such as brand and reputation. These arguments imply that quality is not fixed in time or assigned to a product, a supplier, or a single company initiative. It represents how the dynamic force of quality influences all operational tactics, enables learning new things; accelerate opportunities, or how companies bounce back from failure. Quality principles explain that growth doesn’t depend on a best practice; it is how you adapt and respond to the specific situation. Good quality as a common denominator makes company leaders aware of change including new risky situations, new customer needs, new competitors, and new priorities as well as the chances for success measured in terms of customer satisfaction. Review finds that margin growth (60%) and organic revenue growth (43%) are the top two goals for manufacturers in 2014. But with growth comes growing pains. No longer can manufacturers only be content with maintaining standards organization-wide, while being Shaker Tekwani CEO, Spectrum Cable-Tech www.spectrumcables.com IT in manufacturing is the most vital tool in 21st century. It enable manufacturers to virtually proto type plant layouts , optimize raw materials usage and asses relevant factors prior to investing in plant redesigns or new factories. IT help manufacturers to enable the transfer, storing and processing of data, knowledge and information while at the same time controlling the hardware machinery and also facilitates mailing services, telephone and FAX Networks. The Internet traffic is increasing day by day and manufacturing companies have got the opportunity of Globalization. IT has connected the world in its web of opportunities and has made manufacturers’ life more exciting and easier like never before. more efficient in managing front and back-office processes. Today’s manufacturers are also required to be increasingly innovative and more agile in decision-making to stay ahead of competitors, and provide greater value to customers. In many cases, it is no longer safe to provide the same products to the same customers without change. Therefore, manufacturers must enable collaboration and access to greater amounts of data. It has been found that Enterprise Resource Planning should enable manufacturers to accomplish these goals. There is no argument against the power of data as fuel for organizational transformation. Manufacturing companies want operational visibility to anticipate risks and close performance gaps. They also want a greater understanding of users to direct innovation efforts, operational incentives to increase competitive capabilities, and opportunities for partnerships to grow. Data is of paramount importance to support those and other decisions that help manufacturers gain quality, improvements, and efficiencies. What a difference a decade makes. Fresh from their MBA school degrees and “measure to improve” as motto, manufacturing executives from the early 1990s used spreadsheets to manage by numbers. Later on, Business Intelligence tools were used to analyze metrics, define controls, and create performance dashboards. The internet amplified the data explosion. Social media expanded the data structures by adding pictures, text messages, likes, preferences, and behaviors to define personas for users of internet technology. Cloud computing has also expanded data storage, processing, and sharing options. More recently, advances in mobility allow for quick access to information. The difference is that manufacturing organizations understand that everyone can benefit from using data to support decisions that help improve the way they work. Today’s game changing insight is data in the right form at the right time and in the right hands. This requires that manufacturing organizations must reach for opportunities to bring manufacturing data to the forefront. Users need help to make sense of data in order to prepare plans, execute, and measure effectiveness. Data, facts, and insight complement intellect and expertise which increases the decision-making ability at all levels of the organization. When managed effectively, manufacturing data can help companies grow and support the vision for a knowledgeable and more effective organization. When the strategy is to improve, tactics turns into data trails and information management. Primarily, we want to collect the thoughts and insights of the manufacturing community about Big Data as a driver for improvements, but also to understand opportunities that are materializing in this sector. During the study we will connect with users via a questionnaire and 1-on- 1 interviews. Additionally, we look at how users adapt technology solutions to fit their needs. Another reason for participating is personal development. People want to know how to use data effectively. Conversations quickly evolve to their vision on how Big Data can help them improve. For example, some people expect Big Data to create a bigger and better picture. U Rajagopalan CEO, Toshikcon ABS www.toshikcon.com “For any industry, there is a need for IT solutions – to have better planning/ monitoring tools; to perform repeated jobs/ operation in easy way; for simple & cost-effective communication; etc. In particular, IT solutions improve the productivity in industries, in various levels. This provides instantaneous operation status update; warning signals through SMS etc. to operators. Current process trends; comparison with previous/ standard one; pre-warning signals; breakdown alerts; spares management, supervisory controls; data acquisition & backup to supervisors / mid level management; and MIS reports & web updates on sales, production, performance etc. to top management.” Others want access to more and different knowledge. There is increasing interest in behaviors, events, and actions. Culture is always factor. Solutions – Business intelligence tools, analytics embedded in enterprise systems, or homegrown solutions can help transform data into knowledge and value. Users have plenty of options: Enterprise solutions from SAP and production software from Apriso can be architected to take control of operational data across all facilities, and all countries. Preventive, defensive, and triage activities can be supported by a combination of Microsoft and Honeywell solutions for both plant and enterprise users. Visualization and analysis from Product based companies can help manufacturers identify what they don’t know about warranty or asset reliability. Applications to manage specific quality tests from Viewpoint Systems can connect R&D and system engineers with the data that they need to characterize product degradation. Manufacturers are in the interesting position of being in control of massive amounts of data and being driven to do their job better. Perhaps you’re already familiar with how Big Data is helping companies map customers and opportunities, customize products, or increase user experience. While this is important, we want to also look into how manufacturing intelligence (MI) can be used to arm ordinary people with facts and operational knowledge, so they can take extraordinary actions that lead to productivity gains.

For example, the face of a known criminal amongthousands of images might trigger a “stop”; a pattern of credit fraud might set offwarnings; and indications of growing customer churn might inspire a coupon offer.Anytime there is an important anomaly in the data, it needs to be pointed out beforethe data is stored so that real-time action can be taken. By its very nature, network traffic is Big Data. In just one slice of the network— the mobilenetwork—there are 6 billion mobile subscriptions in the world, and every day, 10 billion textmessages are sent. Making Big Data Business- 2) The sheer volume of Big Data overwhelms the normal data warehouse. For example,Facebook reports that its users register 2.7 billion likes and comments per day. For many, this magnitude of data is intimidating: they can’t keep up with it, much less sort it,analyze it, and extract value from it. SMEs Empowerment through Big Data Analytics Big Data comes with big challenges. Today, as data transcends into the ever-expanding realm of Big Data, a growing community of expertsis beginning to agree. They see in Big Data the same transformative, wealth-creating power. The problem today is that the ever-increasingdeluge of information—terabytes to petabytes to Exabytes—threatens to swamp us in a gusher of unfiltered, unstructured, unprocessed, and seemingly unmanageable information. As things stand now, the data ecosystem is highly fragmented. Between those who create data and those who could potentially extract value from it sits a labyrinth fraught withcomplexity, disparity, and miscommunication.If analytics are to be the new “refinery,” some of that fragmentation will need to be addressed with greater connectivity, trust, and efficiency. 3) All of that data can be challenging to manage when flooding in at a velocity that, formany players, far outpaces their processing ability. In order for Big Data to be a game changer, it needs to be analyzed at a rate that matches the blistering speed at whichinformation enters data warehouses. In microseconds, decisions Rajesh Angadi 1Anniversary True Nature of Big Data, in seeking better-informed decision making, many organizations are running data warehouses and employing traditional data analytics— to reduce churn, bolster campaigneffectiveness, and counter fraud, to name a few applications. Big Data represents arevolutionary step forward from traditional data analysis, characterized by its three mainelements: variety, volume, and velocity. 1) The variety of data comes in two flavors: structured and unstructured. Structured dataenters a data warehouse already tagged and is easily sorted. The vast majority of today’s data, however, is unstructured, and fed by sources such as Facebook, Twitter,and video content. It’s random, difficult to analyze, and enormous.

Friendly Big Data can also change how we interact with businesses. Moment to moment, consumers’interactions with the world around them create an often-ignored by-product: massiveamounts of personal data. These include searches on weather, price comparisons, purchases, and thousands of other daily choices and actions. By analyzing the datagenerated by all of this activity, Big Data offers an opportunity to revolutionize the wayconsumers and sellers interact. Some businesses are already moving to take action. Here are a few examples: 1) Wal-Mart’s inventory management implemented radio frequency identification (RFID)technology to connect real-time information between suppliers and its Retail Link datawarehouse. In the process, it reduced out-of-stocks by an estimated 16 percent. 2) FedEx achieved real-time visibility with shipping and consumer data across more than46,000 distribution and supply chain locations. Integration of its clinical and cost data led to the discovery of Vioxx’s adverse effectsand subsequent withdrawal of the drug from the market. Consequently, Big Data has already become top of mind among CIOs. 1. Revenue Assurance. Integrating intra-company data could hone identification andprevent fraud before it occurs. Fraud-intensive industries such as healthcare would particularly benefit. 2. Risk Mitigation. Every day, networks carry petabytes of critical information for enterprises, governments, and consumers, opening an ever- increasing risk ofintrusions and security attacks. Data federation across wider geographic and networkfootprints would enable identification of suspicious patterns while signaling the needfor immediate action. 3. Customer Lifecycle. Businesses can zero in on instances of customer frustrationand offer an immediate response, thereby improving the consumer experience and lessening churn. Any service-based industry that values its customer relationshipswould benefit. 4. Market Execution. Big Data enables better market services through analytics, creating improved opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling. Banking and Internet commerce stand out as potential beneficiaries. 5. Product Innovation. Consumer input is critical in product development, and today many companies are already clamoring to know more about the likes and dislikes oftheir customers. Integrating noncompany sources of data such as social- networkfeeds would provide a more holistic view of how consumers feel about a product, potentially revealing the need for a new product before it is imagined or on thedrawing board. SMEs are beginning to see big data as something more than just an enterprise trend. Some are starting to realize that they can identify trends, patterns and gain competitive advantage by harnessing the power of growing data volumes. But he cautions that before rushing to implement a big data solution, small businesses need to take a step back and remember that bigger is not necessarily better.

Smaller data sets from CRM platforms, social media or email marketing programmes can still provide much-needed insight to help businesses understand customer behavior patterns and showcase trends. The key is to find the appropriate vehicle to visualize and present this data in a way that reveals overlooked opportunities and actionable insights. This is what could make big data, assuming you can still call it big data, viable to deploy for SME businesses. Instead of a bank-breaking big data solution, small businesses should focus their efforts and dive deep into a few business- critical sets of data – such as sales in a specific sector, or performance metrics during peak versus low seasons. This strategy will provide quicker and better results than companies that try to take on too much. Little data can yield big results for many departments of small businesses, for everyone from the sales department to the executive director. SMEs should be looking at big data. Interest in big data has reached new heights for many SMEs as they attempt to capture information and glean insights from ongoing conversations on social channels and the ‘digital dust’ consumers leave when browsing the web, shopping online, listening to music in the cloud and using smartphone applications. Like many other businesses, SMEs need to glean a better understanding of often volatile consumer behavior to know what they want before consumers do themselves. The problem is that many SMEs lack big data expertise, are the technologies to achieve these goals are available and more affordable than most small businesses expect, especially when factoring in the losses from a lack of investment in a world where competitors are. What’s required are the smarts – knowing which questions to ask of the data and how the organization can best use what it finds. SMEs that have decided against big data projects or are still hesitant imagine the major inhibitors to be not enough staff with expertise and the expected cost of big data initiatives.Nevertheless, business managers need to grasp the nettle. We generally don’t need mountains of data to gain insight from it: we simply need to be asking the right questions, and smaller companies are just as capable of asking intelligent questions as bigger companies. Whether it be for big data or little data. Many SMEs are already running big data technology within their enterprise without even thinking about it as such, with MongoDB or another NoSQL database. MongoDB is already running in many businesses because of its ease of use and dynamic schema, so SMEs that want to get started with a big data project need not invest heavily in learning new technologies. Even Hadoop, which is complex, is likely to have its complexity hidden in the near future with applications that SMEs will use, pointing to companies such as Datameer, MetaMarkets and Infochimps. Big data advisors Channel partners can play a significant role in the promotion and implementation of big data technologies.By integrating a vendor’s solution with other sector-specific tools, the channel can cater to the individual needs of an SME customer and eliminate the need for multiple expensive solutions. The channel plays an important role in being able to aggregate and manage data from many different sources, coming from a combination of cloud and on-premise applications. Their knowledge of a vertical or market segment will provide a huge value-add for customers. SMEs can make great use of big data if it includes drilling down to the machine data layer: Monitoring and understanding machine data can enable companies to identify and resolve IT and security issues with an accuracy and immediacy not previously possible.There’s a really key role that the channel can play in helping companies of all sizes, SMEs included, to understand that using big data – particularly at the machine data level – can have a profound effect on operational intelligence.Massively improved IT systems management, rapid response to security threats and streamlined compliance processes that channel partners can leverage with SMEs as easyto- understand, quick-win scenarios.Channel partners can play a huge role in delivering big data to the SME market, as they can offer bespoke vertical solutions – such as retail, Telco or utilities-specific know- how or applications.Further, channel partners interact with customers on a daily basis and understand their requirements better than vendors. They can also add training and services to differentiate their offering. Most partners are missing a trick with the SME market at the moment. For now, most channel partners seem more tuned to enterprise needs, which can assume more control of big data technologies such as Hadoop because of their inherently larger staff. But this overlooks a huge opportunity in the SME market, where the bulk of the world’s companies are, and where most of the world’s data is too. The channel partners which can tap this market will win big in big data. By giving SMEs access to financing that brings these technologies within their reach in an affordable way, big data/ analytics capability is making its way to smaller companies quickly. It’s a trend that’s only going to grow for small businesses. If those SMEs collaborate with a channel partner, they can take advantage of some of the most effective methods to gain necessary data insight, while gaining a deep level of industry expertise. LEADER SPEAK “In General, the trend for Small & Medium Enterprise is very encouraging in India, but being competitive in the changing scenario is the prime factor to get to the top. They should always try to reduce manufacturing costs along with quality systems, which can help them in terms of efficient pricing & quality product. Also, proper marketing planning will give an edge to the small & medium enterprises since they got limited marketing budget, wants maximum returns out of it and also they may not have marketing expertise. Marketing Plan should always be linked with business goals & objectives. Expertise, Innovation & Networking will fix the success of the SME in this competitive market.” Jyoti MIshra Executive, Nord India “Today supply chains are big, complex and global. Keeping them humming is an enormous challenge. We think the world is entering the era of small, simple and local supply chains, powered by a new generation of manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, intelligent assembly robotics and open-source hardware – also known as the Software Defined Supply Chain”. Rapid Prototyping and Additive Manufacturing with Big Data Analytics Prototyping is used to evaluate and test the design, ergonomics, safety, functionality and other aspects of a device. Choosing the right prototyping process can enable companies to notice design errors and other issues that could later cause significant problems, thereby saving both money and time. Conventional prototyping methods such as machining, injection moulding and soft tooling can provide high-quality and highly accurate prototypes. However, these processes can be time-consuming, expensive and complicated. Rapid Prototyping Rapid Prototyping for Direct Digital Manufacturing deals with various aspects of joining materials to form parts. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an automated technique for direct conversion of 3D CAD data into physical objects using a variety of approaches. Manufacturers have been using these technologies in order to reduce development cycle times and get their products to the market quicker, more cost effectively, and with added value due to the incorporation of customizable features. Realizing the potential of Additive Manufacturing applications, a large number of processes have been developed allowing the use of various materials ranging from plastics to metals for product development. Rapid prototyping methods have dramatically changed the landscape, allowing for a prototype to be made in as little as one day.In some circumstances, the same methods can be used to make the final product, further speeding up the production process by means of additive manufacturing. Rapid prototyping methods The most common types of rapid prototyping methods are additive technologies, meaning that the model is built by adding material layer by layer. By contrast, subtractive prototyping methods create a and drilling.A rapid prototype originates with a computer model. Typically, this model is fabricated using computer- aided design (CAD). In some cases, where the final product will be custom-made. A prototyping machine reads the computer data and slices it into different layers. The machine then builds the prototype by adding material layer by layer. Additive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing enables the fast, flexible and cost-efficient production of parts directly from 3D CAD data – a technology that helps you to perform your tasks in an innovative way.

The term “3D printing” is increasingly used as a synonym for Additive Manufacturing. However, the latter is more accurate in that it describes a professional production technique which is clearly distinguished from conventional methods of material removal. Instead of milling a workpiece from solid block, for example, Additive Manufacturing builds up components layer by layer using materials which are available in fine powder form. A range of different metals, plastics and composite materials may be used.

The technology is of interest where a new approach to design and manufacturing is required so as to come up with solutions. It enables a design-driven manufacturing process - where design determines production and not the other way around. Additive Manufacturing allows for highly complex structures which can still be extremely light and stable. It provides a high degree of design freedom, the optimization and integration of functional features, the manufacture of small batch sizes at reasonable unit costs and a high degree of product customization even in serial production. - Binder jetting: a liquid bonding agent is selectively deposited to join powder materials. - Powder Bed Fusion: Thermal energy selectively fumes regions of a power bed. - Vat Photo polymerization: Liquid photo polymer in a VAT is selectively cured by light activated polymerization. Short lamination sheets of material are bonded to form an object. – Directed Energy Depositions: Focused thermal energy is used to fuse materials by melting as the materials are being deposited. – Material setting droplets of build materials are selectively deposited. – Material Extrusion: Material is selectively dispensed through a nozzle or orifice. to get better availability and better throughput, or you can go further to the optimization side. Big data can also be used to compare one plant to another on the equipment-to- equipment level. If you have 50 to 200 plants, you want to see the best practices across all of the plants. You can see what aspects of the equipment breaks down the most. The big data gives you temperature, pressure, and maintenance records. You can see shop floor notes that offer insight into why some equipment is breaking. When you’re producing a lot of data, you can use that data to get your efficiency up and your defects down. Big data, along with complex analytics that can help to better monitor and analyze parts during the laser sintering process. Perhaps most importantly, the technology will be able to monitor any temperature abnormalities that could structurally impact, compromise the nozzle during Additive Manufacturing. Companies estimated that the big-data-enabled “in-process” inspection could increase production speeds by 25 percent, while cutting down on inspection after the building process is complete by that same 25 percent.

Functional Principle The system starts by applying a thin layer of the powder material to the building platform. A powerful laser beam then fuses the powder at exactly the points defined by the computer-generated component design data. The platform is then lowered and another layer of powder is applied. Once again the material is fused so as to bond with the layer below at the predefined points. Depending on the material used, components can be manufactured using stereolithography, laser sintering or 3D printing.
