Lantek to analyze data’s journey in the metal cutting industry at Blechexpo 2019

With a presentation titled “Data’s Journey in the Sheet Metal Industry,” Javier Román, Product Manager at Lantek, will explore the importance of data in this industry, analyzing the different data sources, ways to process data, and how data can be used in decision-making and industrial automation processes.

"The importance of measuring the quality of the data, their validity, consistency, representativeness, uniqueness, and complexity, with a specific Data Quality Report is fundamental in data governance and essential for companies that want to digitally transform and optimize processes based on data intelligence. The human factor also plays a fundamental role when guaranteeing data quality. In fact, a new figure is emerging: the Chief Data Officer (CDO), who is responsible for all things related to this kind of data," explained Javier Román, Product Manager at Lantek.

The presentation will take place on Wednesday, November 6 at 2:20 p.m. in the trade fair’s Exhibitor Forum, Hall 9, stand 9310.

Also, the fair is not only a trading platform, but also a place for information and communication in the field of research, education, and trades, where a complete overview of this sector and its supply chain is provided. Within this framework, Lantek will make the latest developments included in its advanced manufacturing cloud platform, Lantek 360, available to the attendees, placing special emphasis on the Lantek Analytics, Control Panel, iQuoting and MetalShop solutions.
