Mitigating Branch Office Risks with SD-WAN

whitePaper | July 10, 2020

There’s no arguing that preventing failures and accidents is critical for industry. Unexpected incidents can grind operations to a halt for extended periods of time and necessitate expensive repairs. Just 12 hours of downtime for an oil production platform could cost six to eight million dollars in lost production opportunity alone. A single day of grounding for a plane costs roughly four to five million dollars. Because of these disruptions, industrial sectors are always on the lookout for newer, better maintenance methods, and the approach on everyone’s lips right now is predictive maintenance. While everyone agrees on the name, there is less consensus on what it means or how to implement it. But to truly unlock the potential of predictive maintenance, it needs to be paired with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

When people hear AI they often think about sentient robots and magic boxes. AI today is much more mundane and simple—but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. Another misconception is that high-profile research projects can be applied directly to any business situation. AI done right can create extreme return on investments (ROIs)—for instance through automation or precise prediction. But it does take thought, time and proper implementation. We have seen that success and value generated by AI projects is increased when there is a grounded understanding and expectation of what the technology can deliver from the C-suite down.

Robotics, automation, Internet of Things (IoT), and data are not new in manufacturing. Manufacturing is one of the most data-rich and first industries piloting artificial intelligence at the edge. It’s been estimated, however, that about 95% of all industrial data goes unused. The reason? Legacy equipment and operational systems that tend to be proprietary and siloed are incapable of communicating with each other.

Over the last four decades, the information technology industry has grown from about $50 billion globally in 1980 to more than $4 trillion. During this time, the IT industry has experienced the transition from mainframe computing to minicomputers, to personal computing, to internet computing, and to handheld computing.

The health and vibrancy of our national economy depends on the health and vibrancy of our organizations. How an organization is staffed is a key driver of its health. Yet only one in three executives rates his or her company as “very effective” at reducing unsuccessful hiring decisions (Bravery et al., 2019). Thus, industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists help organizations thrive by choosing the right talent for the right job at the right time, using the most accurate, cost effective, and fair tools available (Ployhart, Schmitt, & Tippins, 2017).

Data science is Vectra AI’s north star. We have always believed that data science and AI, if used properly, can transform our fight against cyberattacks and give an edge to defenders. However, not all AI is the same.
