Guide to Industrial Analytics: Solving Data Science Problems for Manufacturing and the Internet of Things Paperback - 2022

Data Science, predictive analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and the more general approaches to modelling, simulating and visualizing industrial systems have often been considered topics only for research labs and academic departments. This book debunks the mystique around applied data science and shows readers, using tutorial-style explanations and real-life case studies, how practitioners can develop their own understanding of performance to achieve tangible business improvements.

Topics and features:

• Describes hands-on application of data-science techniques to solve problems in manufacturing and the IIoT
• Presents relevant case study examples that make use of commonly available (and often free) software to solve real-world problems
• Enables readers to rapidly acquire a practical understanding of essential modelling and analytics skills for system-oriented problem solving
• Includes a schedule to organize content for semester-based university delivery, and end-of-chapter exercises to reinforce learning
