SUMMARY:Predictive Analytics Delivering Real Value—A Practitioner’s Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDespite the hard data and statistics involved\, predictive analytics can be elusive to organizations who want to take their operations to the next level. Most companies find they don’t know where to begin. \nBut once mastered\, analytics can be a useful tool to create real value for both equipment suppliers and their customers. Howden\, a leader in air and gas engineering solutions\, developed their own program for predictive analytics—producing demonstrable benefits across the value chain. \nGrab a (virtual) seat with Billy Milligan\, Howden Solutions Development Lead\, Howden\, and Matt Hardman\, Senior Director\, AI & Translators\, PTC\, as they discuss the Howden Data Driven Advantage (DDA) program.
