Build Better 2022: Whose Data is it Anyway?
Speakers: Dave Trail (Arch Systems), Rajeev Bhalla (Clip Automation), and Carl Hung (Season Group)
Moderators: Philip Stoten (SCOOP) and Terry Arbaugh (SEACOMP)
The manufacturing process generates a lot of valuable data, a lot of it latent and untapped. Design data, product data, process data, worker data, product telemetry, return data… Everyone in the process can benefit from this data, but who gets to decide who does? The answer really matters.
Data transparency may feel like a radical shift in an industry that has traditionally not shared data between suppliers, EMS providers, and brands. But manufacturing data is the fuel that powers the optimizations of the smart manufacturing ecosystem. Every stakeholder in the ecosystem should contribute to capturing that data and have the ability to derive insights and value from it.
In this discussion co-hosted by Fast Company writer and SCOOP founder Philip Stoten and VP of Sales and Marketing at SEACOMP Terry Arbaugh, the panel will explore the ownership of data, best practices for sharing data today, and the mutual value that can be achieved by the judicious collection and open sharing of operational and process data.
