From Data to Decisions: Closing the Technology Loop in Industry
Check out the webinar organized by Apave on October 29, 2026
In this webinar, we’ll address four of the main challenges involved in incorporating technology into industrial environments: from correctly identifying the problem we want to solve to ensuring that the data we generate is relevant, reliable, and structured; including choosing the right technology and the often-underestimated challenge of moving from a pilot project to day-to-day reality.
We’ll discuss artificial intelligence, computer vision, data, hardware, and new technological architectures, but also something even more important: how to ensure that all these elements work together and are truly aligned with the needs of production, occupational health and safety, operations, and the business.
We’ll discuss the four major challenges the industry faces when incorporating technology into its processes.
Challenge 1: Identifying the problem:
- First the problem, then the technology
- More data and technology ≠ more value
- Start with the need, not the solution.
Challenge 2: The Data
- Is it relevant, reliable, and consistent?
- Structured data vs. scattered information.
- Turn data into information we can use.
Challenge 3: Technology. Is it a solution, or part of the problem?
- Choosing the right technology for each problem.
- Cost and complexity: hardware, software, AI, infrastructure...
- The question isn’t whether to use AI
4th Challenge: Deployment
- Taking a solution from the lab to everyday industrial use.
- Integration, scalability, and maintenance.
- Turning technology into a tool that enables action and decision-making.
