The motto of the manufacturing industry is moving toward a metrics-based sector, which can improve decision-making based on the data-driven use of statistics.
- With the concept of Industry 4.0 influencing production establishments in the manufacturing industry, the amount of data produced from the manufacturing industry has snowballed, as they have been able to create data from each process point, varying from temperature, pressure, humidity, stress, strain, and quality, among numerous others.
- There are several applications in the semiconductors, consumer electronics, and the automotive industry, where manufacturers have to monitor numerous variables to ensure the quality of end products. Big Data analytics has emerged as an effective solution to traditional methods.
- As most small and medium manufacturing industries are more concentrated on hardware equipment and lack expertise in software solutions, they are outsourcing these Big Data analytic solutions. Outsourcing software services are further reducing their expenditure. Outsourcing other software services, such as field service management and ERP, is expected to boost managed services during the forecast period.
