MADRID, 22. (Portaltic/EP)
The private technology center ITI presented WISEPHERE, a platform that turns company data into strategic information, aimed at any type of manufacturing sector to help them harness the potential of their data.
Between 60 percent and 73 percent of data is not used, and only 32 percent of companies are considered capable of working with it and extracting value from it, according to the results of the INDDIS project, which focused on designing, establishing and laying the foundations for the development of a new WISEPHERE infrastructure .
This platform was presented this Thursday as part of the ‘How to extract value from your data’ conference organized by ITI in collaboration with the Department of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism of the Generalitat Valenciana.
In it, the director of ITI, Laura Olcina, pointed out that “the company’s data in itself has no value” and that therefore it must be “worked on” in order to “turn it into quality information and the basis of new and increasingly personalized products services”.
However, harnessing and sharing data presents challenges, as explained by Alicante Water Transformation director Antonio Sánchez Zaplana. “Ownership, that is, who owns the data and the legitimacy to use it; quality; governance; and time sustainability,” he detailed.
WISEPHERE was born with the aim of helping companies in any type of manufacturing sector to maximize the potential of their data while responding to major challenges. In this regard, they pointed out that it provides specialized tools for data management and quality, in order to improve and optimize information management in this business environment.
And from a technical perspective, it stands out as a scalable technology set based on open software, which can be easily implemented in modern computing environments.
GIDITEK – Grupo Gimeno’s Lead Data Scientist, Federico Piñuela, explained that the platform helps them “deal with challenges such as data source integration, quality, consistency and governance, scalability, security and analytics, and value extraction.”
For his part, the head of Tejidos Royo Systems, Joaquín León, emphasized that “sometimes companies store data without a specific purpose and without researching the value”, but he assured that this solution “was crucial for drawing conclusions” in society.
Technology companies such as Ahora, Disid, Giditek, Lãberit, Multiscan, Nunsys, Prodevelop and S2 Grupo collaborated with ITI in the development of this tool; and industrial companies such as Aguas de Alicante, Balearia, Facsa, Hidraqua, Obremo, Tejidos Royo and Vectalia.
WISEPHERE was funded by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism, under the INDDIS project “Data spaces as a lever of innovation for the industry of the Community of Valencia” (CONV23/DGINN/16).
