Knowledge is Power

Scientia potentia est – Knowledge is Power. An ancient phrase that still applies perfectly in today’s Business World.

Running any business effectively comes down to making the correct decisions at the right moment. It sounds simple enough, but there’s a catch – in order to make the correct decisions at the right time, you need to gather and process a vast amount of information, or data. In many cases, gathering and processing this data has been either too time-consuming or right down impossible, leaving decision-makers to rely on assumptions, intuition, and previous experience. Luckily, with the rapid development of IoT and other cutting-edge technologies, these challenges are quickly becoming worries of the past.

Track Anything – the sky is not the limit

With the sophisticated technologies and tools available nowadays, it has become possible to gather data from basically anything you can imagine – people, machinery, equipment, processes, products, services, vehicles, weather conditions, etc. You could say only the sky is the limit, but that wouldn’t necessarily be true – Bluugo has a solution currently in action, which predicts the arrival time of planes based on various data sources and sophisticated Machine Learning algorithms. Our unique Digital Platform Tracking Cloud™ allows us to track anything.

Why is Data so important?

In today’s business world, Digitalization and Intelligent Solutions have become a necessity for most companies in order to stay competitive – and they all revolve around data. Without data to fuel these solutions, they are little more than empty shells that fail to produce any value. So, the core of Digitalization and Intelligent Solutions for any business is to collect data, which can then be transformed into a valuable format. The sooner you start collecting data, the faster you can implement new solutions which create added value for your company.

From Raw Data to Valuable Information

Even though modern technology has made gathering data easy, it doesn’t mean you should track everything you possibly can. Many companies learned this the hard way a few years back, when Big Data was a popular buzz word. If you start blindly gathering data from every possible source without a clear plan on what to do with it, you will quickly end up with massive amounts of raw data and no possible way of utilizing its full value.

The key to success is to create a clear plan on what kind of data could be used to create added value for your company. In some cases, the best solution might consist of only a few RFID-readers that allow certain daily processes to be automized for example. In other cases, it might be millions of lines of data from numerous IoT-enabled devices, which can be crunched into comprehensible format with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms. Both examples have equally great potential to streamline business processes – the key is to figure out what kind of solution suits your business case the best.

Everything you need under a single platform

In order to collect valuable data from your processes and efficiently implement new Intelligent solutions and technologies, expertise from multiple different areas is required – Technology, Software, Hardware, Integrations and a deep understanding of the business process itself.
