Welcome to Data Week

It’s “data week” on The Engineer – which means that over the next few days (29thApril – 3rd May) we’ll be taking a look at what our increasingly data rich world actually means for engineering and manufacturing firms.

Never have there been so many different ways to collect, transmit and analyse data

Whether it’s driving advances in healthcare; providing the backbone for more efficient and streamlined manufacturing operations; or enabling vehicles to operate without drivers; data – and our rapidly evolving ability to interact with it - is at the heart of the technological change that is reshaping our world.

Over the course of this week, we will be looking at some of technologies that are driving this change; hearing from sectors and organisations at the forefront of the data revolution and examining what a smart approach to data actually looks like in practical terms.

As well as the hardware and technology we will examine for instance the way in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing data analytics; the potential of Blockchain to change the way the data is stored and shared, and the expected impact of 5G promises on data management and transfer speeds.
