When embarking on the journey of scientific discovery and innovation, it's crucial to trust yourself and go beyond the status quo. Outside of facts and figures, raw data is the ultimate source of truth. No matter how big or small, an accurate measurement or validation could bring you one step closer to a potentially life-changing breakthrough.

Raw data may contain the ultimate truth. An accurate measurement, big or small, can lead to breakthroughs. A few examples: 1. Temperature Sensors: Instant readings - Volume: Continuous monitoring - Sampling Rate: High - Accuracy: ±0.1°C - Prevents overheating, ensures optimal operation 2. Air Quality Sensors: Real-time data - Volume: Extensive coverage - Sampling Rate: High - Accuracy: ±5% - Improves public health, aids urban planning 3. Seismic Sensors: Immediate detection - Volume: Large datasets - Sampling Rate: Very high - Accuracy: ±0.01 magnitude - Enhances disaster preparedness and response 4. Blood Glucose Monitors: Seconds - Accuracy: ±10% - Better diabetes management, prevents complications 5. Power Grid Measurements (SCADA, PMUs): Real-time monitoring - Volume: High data flow - Sampling Rate: High - Accuracy: ±0.1% - Ensures efficient, stable and reliable electricity distribution If you measure it, value it, and integrate it into your operations and planning, you are likely to model and manage it better. Ps. Our 3 “M”s since 1982: Measurement, Modelling, and Management… applied to hundreds of challenges and projects 🙏🏼
