<\/figure>\n\nMind the gap: The gap between data and its use<\/h2>\n\n
The central theme of the conference was the slogan “Mind the gap.<\/em>” Through it, Mattias Stenberg, CEO of Octave, highlighted the discrepancy between the volume of data available and its actual utilization. According to data presented at the conference, as much as 86% of data remains unconnected, lacking context, and without practical application. <\/p>\n\n Today, companies collect a vast amount of information regarding equipment, malfunctions, and service interventions. However, if this data remains siloed across different systems, its full potential goes unrealized. In the field of maintenance, connecting this data is crucial; it facilitates better planning of service interventions, enables the assessment of equipment condition, and supports decision-making based on real-world information. <\/p>\n\n Another major theme of the conference is closely related to this: artificial intelligence. Its potential in the industrial sector is significant, yet its actual value depends on the quality of the data and the context in which it is applied. After all, even the most advanced technology cannot replace a solid data foundation and well-structured processes. <\/p>\n\n Octave Live OnTour showcased all four of Octave\u2019s product areas\u2014Design, Build, Operate, and Protect\u2014which cover the individual stages of an asset\u2019s lifecycle, from design through to operation and protection.<\/p>\n\n For R\u00f3bert Hajduk, however, the conference was not just about technology. A significant part consisted of personal meetings with experts from the EAM community, including Jochen Rei\u00df, Vice President for the EMIA region at Octave, as well as representatives from partner companies Aomation, Spectades, and Mell. <\/p>\n\n The discussions focused on practical experience, shared challenges, and opportunities for collaboration. It is precisely this exchange of insights with people addressing similar issues across different countries and companies that provides value which presentations alone cannot replicate. <\/p>\n\n The atmosphere of the event itself was also a powerful experience. “Being at a conference with\u2014by my estimate\u20142,000 people is incredible. During the opening speech by Octave\u2019s CEO, I felt like I was in a movie scene where Steve Jobs introduces a new MP3 player. The staging, music, video, and lighting\u2014everything was meticulously thought out,” says R\u00f3bert Hajduk, describing his impressions. <\/p>\n\n Konferencia priniesla mno\u017estvo nov\u00fdch poznatkov, no dve my\u0161lienky vystihuj\u00fa jej hlavn\u00e9 posolstvo: ani n\u00e1ro\u010dn\u00e1 prev\u00e1dzka nemus\u00ed vy\u017eadova\u0165 komplikovan\u00e9 syst\u00e9my a samotn\u00e9 d\u00e1ta maj\u00fa hodnotu a\u017e vtedy, ke\u010f ich dok\u00e1\u017eeme prepoji\u0165 a prakticky vyu\u017ei\u0165.<\/p>\n\n Pre n\u00e1s v INSEKO je \u00fa\u010das\u0165 na podujatiach, ako je Octave Live OnTour, pr\u00edle\u017eitos\u0165ou sledova\u0165 v\u00fdvoj v oblasti EAM, zdie\u013ea\u0165 sk\u00fasenosti s medzin\u00e1rodnou odbornou komunitou a prin\u00e1\u0161a\u0165 nov\u00e9 poznatky do pr\u00e1ce s klientmi.<\/p>\n\n Because the goal of digitalization is not to make things more complex. Rather, it is to help businesses manage assets and maintenance more simply, more efficiently, and with better information. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A particle accelerator, millions of assets, and standard system settings.
