Make accurate and fast design decisions with data analytics

摘要

Data analytics presents design engineers with complete and accurate data to enable new designs to get to market faster. In an engineering firm, it is a common understanding that the design engineers' main task is to design the best product and be the first to market. This means working with shorter design cycles and reducing the number of redesigns. The design engineer also will have to deal with engineering resource shortages and budget constraints. One of the greatest challenges design engineers face is making informed design decisions. This is due to lack of complete and accurate data. The task requires an enormous data-collection and data-analysis effort to gain confidence that the design meets the passing guidelines set by the industry or the company's own standard for release to production. In some cases, it involves an entire team of engineers and managers from multiple sites.
