OMAC Launches Data Governance Initiative to Create Guidelines for Segmenting, Sharing, and Securing Industrial Data

As cloud-based analytics and digital transformation evolve, creating the foundation of the “data-driven” world, manufacturing organizations are scrambling to implement suitable data governance policies. OMAC’s latest initiative, led by ei3’s Mark Fondl, aims to establish a framework and guidelines to protect precious proprietary information while enabling secure data sharing for efficiently solving problems, mining insights, and capturing the highest value from data-supported capabilities.

The workgroup will elaborate on the following topics to help organizations boost employee collaboration and productivity and support continuous innovation through practical data-sharing approaches.

• Categorizing types of data and methods of segmentation
• Identifying the sources of data
• Clustering data usage – from control and optimization to service and support
• Understanding data ownership and constraints – especially concerning the use of insights arising from the data
• Architecting data hierarchy for distribution
• Reviewing security regulations concerning the transfer and storage
