Data Analytics

Bring Data to Life Through Data Analytics

Smart sensors are only beneficial when their data are analysed and transferred into meaningful insights that support decision making. 

Sensors, by their very nature, detect and measure the world around us, allowing preemptive and predictive responses in a vast range of settings. 

Sensors are already part of our daily lives, found in even the most basic technology in our homes, offices and cars. They are the driving force of the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and Smart Cities. Sensors will drive the automation, AI and robotics that will revolutionise the way we grow food, generate energy and make things with the enormous data they collect. 

How we use this data and ensure it informs valuable decision-making together with other big-data sources is therefore a key challenge to industry and government. 

The power of sensory data can only be revealed with a proper level of data analytics together with data from other heterogenous channels, such as business transactions and individual activity data. With analytics such as cleaning, association, correlation and causal inferences, end users can then be presented with meaningful insights that can be applied to real-world situations. 

Data analytics is complex and full of specific domain knowledge. The NSSN provides access to world-class expertise and technology from leading universities across NSW & ACT to provide government and industry partners an enduring competitive advantage.

Working with the NSSN simplifies the process of engaging with universities by creating a single point-of-contact for the leading research-intensive universities in NSW & ACT. 

The NSSN, through its regular meetups and Data Working Group, not only incubates projects with partners such as Sydney Water but also helps organisations to find the best way to collaborate with academia to tackle their data challenges within an achievable budget.
