Engineering teams possess an underutilized goldmine in today’s fast-paced industrial landscape: their data. From sensor readings and vibration logs to video, sound, and test metadata, engineering data holds critical insights that can accelerate innovation, reduce costs, and safeguard operations against failure. Yet, a significant portion of engineering time is wasted merely searching for, organizing and wrangling data to make it usable.

The 5 Things Engineering Teams Should Be Doing Right Now to Utilize AI & ML Technologies
Listen to our blog:
According to a recent survey, 47% of companies today consider AI/ML as a top priority in 2024. Yet, according to Harvard Business Review “cross-industry studies show, on average, less than half of an organization's structured data is actively used in making decisions—and less than 1% of its unstructured data is analyzed or even used at all.” 1
This statistic should concern R&D or Engineering decision-makers. Companies are drowning in data, and very few companies can leverage their data because they are stuck trying to find, access, and connect various data sources. So first ask yourself these three questions:

Accelerating AI & ML Analysis with TTI’s Data Cleansing Technology
The importance of data preparation has grown exponentially with the rise of AI. Data comes in many forms and formats, including homegrown applications, SQL databases, files, sensors, video, and physics-driven analog data. Traditionally, data cleansing is defined as detecting and correcting (or removing) corrupt or inaccurate records from a dataset, table, or database. The data challenge presented is identifying the data's incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate, or irrelevant parts and then replacing, modifying, or deleting the dirty or coarse data.

Reducing Technical debt and increasing the Value of Data
Please make sure to sign up for this exclusive summit in Novi, MI!
Since our company's inception, we have had the privilege of engaging with a diverse range of customers, all grappling with a common challenge-the management of their data. Whether a small business or a large enterprise, the issue of technical debt, a result of short-term thinking about data, is a consistent theme. Technical debt, in this context, refers to the cost that accumulates when short-term solutions are implemented to address immediate needs, leading to a complex, inefficient, and duplicate data infrastructure over time.
This technical debt spawns from a patchwork of applying technologies one by one, reacting to a current need. A prime example is when companies opt for a do-it-yourself plan because they don't have to engage procurement or IT and currently have resources available. Aside from the expanding technical debt, this strategy ignores the ongoing service support issues that cost 10x what an off-the-shelf product when looking at the total cost of ownership. I have observed extreme examples of this behavior at companies that have been around for many years. The decision to patch things and solve a short-term pain is very tempting. Leaders convince themselves they can do it cheaper and better because it is custom-built for them versus the pain of trying to convince stakeholders to procure a product.
It's clear that addressing and reducing technical debt is not a simple task. It requires a structured methodology for identifying, justifying, and funding new projects. This funding is not just about acquiring technology; it's about generating the emotional momentum needed to overcome the inertia that has built up over many years in replacing outdated technology.

Are You “Digital Transformation-Ready”?
So, your customers are committed to a Digital Transformation (DT) journey. How does this affect the engineering organization? Engineering executives expect integrating digital technology into all aspects of the business will deliver great value. They expect DT to fundamentally change and improve business operations. As part of the DT journey, engineering teams want to unify and update systems, organizations, and processes to support next-generation product development cycles. Their engineering tools requirements, infrastructure ,and processes will be viewed through this lens. Are your offerings ready to support your customers’ DT projects with scalable, digital enterprise-ready architecture and capabilities?

Is Machine Learning a Battery Test Engineer's New Best Friend?
Existing testing approaches are time consuming taking several months to run 1000s of tests on 100s of samples. The tests are destructive meaning the batteries tested are not usable when testing is complete. Data collected from testing is only valid for the batch of batteries testes (i.e., they are tied to battery chemistry). As battery consumption increases, the length of time to test batteries becomes critical. If supplies are depleted before testing is completed, the testing results are worthless.

Revolutionizing Agriculture: John Deere's Tech-Driven Vision for Feeding the Future
This year, at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) show in Las Vegas, I had the pleasure of seeing a great presentation from John May, the CEO at John Deere. It was impressive how they have focused on using technology to solve problems for their consumers of heavy equipment.
Harvard Business Review[i] reported that cross-industry studies show, on average, less than half of an organization's structured data is actively used in making decisions—and less than 1% of its unstructured data is analyzed or even used at all.
