Digital disruption in the cable industry

Home Digital disruption in the cable industry Digital disruption in the cable industry: for a more sustainable electrification journey Digital and data innovation 06 September 2024 7 min The world of electricity is about to undergo an unprecedented digital transformation similar to what industry has achieved by digitizing all its processes and supply chain in the great wave of Industry 4.0. Traditional approaches, rooted in linear models of production, distribution, and operations like grid monitoring, are increasingly inadequate to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving world. These outdated methods fall short in addressing the growing complexities and challenges of modern electrification. The future of energy management lies in data-driven, real-time monitoring solutions. Nexans is poised to lead this transformation with cutting-edge technology that enhances grid efficiency, reduces downtime, and generates significant cost savings for utilities. Today, investing in power network monitoring is not just a smart move—it’s essential for the future of energy. The major challenges of the energy transition are linked to the electrification of the growing demand for electricity, but it will be absolutely impossible to renew and modernize all power grids for reasons of resources, copper , aluminum and expertise. It is therefore imperative to […]

Are you ready for data hyperaggregation?

The idea of integrating data gathered from multiple sources is hardly new, but interest in digital transformation and AI is pushing enterprises to tackle it again. Credit: irina d’elena / Shutterstock Data hyperaggregation collects, integrates, and processes large volumes of data from multiple sources. This method can pull data from cloud platforms and on-premises systems to create a unified and comprehensive data set. The goal is to enhance data visibility, thus improving decision-making, analytics, and operational efficiency. As organizations push the boundaries of digital transformation , understanding and leveraging data hyperaggregation could be the key to unlocking unprecedented business value. Data hyperaggregation strives to create a seamless data ecosystem that works harmoniously with the organization’s objectives. It is emerging as a pivotal trend because data plus data visibility equals better decisions, and better decisions equal business value. Who woulda thunk? Pretty much anyone working in enterprise IT. Using abstraction The backbone of effective data hyperaggregation lies in the infrastructure and technologies supporting it, better known as the middleware. Cloud platforms are tailored to manage and process immense data volumes. I’ve spoken about this in my rants about cloud complexity and cloud complexity management . Abstraction is one of the […]
