Energy
In the energy sector, intelligent applications include IoT data pipelines using sensor data. Real-time
capture and analysis of this data, with machine learning model scoring, provides helpful downtime
mitigation and savings for global companies. Shell describes its advanced analytics for sensor
collection on its website:
Digital sensors installed in our operations around the world—from production fields to
manufacturing complexes—produce a constant flow of data which we analyze to improve processes
and take better business decisions.
The technology can optimize the performance of plants by predicting when maintenance will be
needed, to avoid unplanned downtime and lost productivity.
More than 5,000 machines globally connect to the system, which is thought to have saved more
than 3.5 million barrels in lost production since its introduction.
Media
Perhaps no transformation is more visible in media than the shift from broadcast and cable
television to real-time streaming. This change drives media companies to seek end user analytics
and advertising opportunities tied to streaming, and key intelligent applications to drive revenue.
This technology race led Disney to acquire a majority stake in BAMTech. Disney said the following
in a news release:
The media landscape is increasingly defined by direct relationships between content creators and
consumers, and our control of BAMTech’s full array of innovative technology will give us the
power to forge those connections, along with the flexibility to quickly adapt to shifts in the market.
