How insight engines can support the manufacturing sector According to Eustace , insight engines can improve data governance and regulatory compliance for manufacturing organisations . “ They give you the ability to look at very large sets of information and pick out specific pieces of information from those datasets ,” explains Eustace . “ As an example , if you are designing something for manufacturing and you ' re looking for approval from a regulator before you put that piece of equipment into production , it might need to go through regulatory approval .
“ So , for instance , if you ' re working in the nuclear industry , you would need to go through health and safety approvals . One of the things that insight engines can do is to look at the regulatory frameworks at some of the key things : topics , words and phrases that have been mentioned in the regulation . You can look for those same pieces of information in your regulatory submissions and then highlight where there are things that are missing from real submissions .
“ I ' m at the regulators ' point of view . I ' ve got quite a problem navigating the regulatory framework for manufacturers who want to come into the UK at the moment , because you ' ve got to go to different places to get that information . It ' s a lot to consume .
“ As a manufacturer who wants to come to the UK and invest over here , understanding what the regulation is that applies to you specifically in the goods that you want to manufacture here could be quite challenging .”
Intelligent insights can eliminate potential risks Eustace knows that another more generic example to look at is modern privacy .
