We have entered the “second machine age.” The first machine age began with the industrial revolution, which was driven primarily by technology innovation. The ability to generate massive amounts of mechanical power made humans more productive. Where the steam engine started the industrial revolution, the second machine age has taken
With all the technology advancements and innovative trends driving Industry 4.0 right now, you might expect geeky topics like the Internet of Things (IoT) or artificial intelligence (AI) to be the hottest topics of discussion among industry leaders. Instead, many leaders are still more focused on workplace culture. And here’s
Todo se basa en una sencilla teoría económica: cuando los precios de los productos aumentan, la gente no está dispuesta a pagarlos y, en consecuencia, la demanda se va a pique; evidentemente, sucede el efecto contrario cuando se reducen. No obstante, el mecanismo que se activa al modificar dicho valor
In August 2017, Britta Gross spoke about General Motors’ perspective on bringing electric vehicles (and their derivatives) to market. Her point of view reaffirmed GM's research on consumer awareness of electric vehicles (only 60 percent) and consumer adoption concerns with this emerging technology. She also revealed the portfolio of cars
Sábado por la tarde. Un aficionado al futbol visita la tienda de conveniencia más cercana para comprar todo lo necesario para disfrutar el partido de su equipo favorito: botanas, comida, bebidas. Recorre los pasillos, pero no encuentra todo lo que quiere. Pregunta al dependiente; éste le responde que algunos de
La medida en que las organizaciones se beneficien de la Inteligencia Artificial, machine learning y la analítica dependerá de sus necesidades y la aplicación que puedan tener para hacerlas más rentables, ágiles y competitivas. La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha estado presente en nuestras vidas más tiempo del que creemos. Está
Remember the military computer Joshua from the 1983 Matthew Broderick movie WarGames? Joshua learned how to “play a game” by competing against other computers, got confused about reality, and nearly started WWIII. As depicted in that movie, Joshua isn’t all that different from Google’s DeepMind, which became a superhuman chess

Esta amalgama de innovaciones le da a las empresas, de todas las industrias, la oportunidad de llevar a cabo las percepciones que obtienen de sus datos a una
If you think machine learning will replace demand planners, then don’t read this post. If you think machine learning will automate and unleash the power of insights allowing demand planners to drive more value and growth, then this article is a must read.
Let’s lay down some fundamentals. In business you want to achieve the highest revenues with the best margins and the lowest costs. More specifically, in manufacturing, you want your products to be the highest quality (relative to specification) when you make the item. And you want it shipped to the
La inteligencia artificial (IA) es un avance tecnológico que sigue creciendo y que se perfila como una metodología para agilizar todo tipo de procesos, ayudando a la recopilación y el reconocimiento de datos y a la predicción de comportamientos hasta convertirse en una solución a necesidades inmediatas. Por eso se
Wherever there is uncertainty there has got to be judgment, and wherever there is judgment there is an opportunity for human fallibility. Donald Redelmeirer, physician-researcher Recently, I read a fascinating book titled The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Mind by Michael Lewis (W.W. Norton & Company, 2017). Lewis
For the last two years, I’ve spent time listening to and brainstorming with automakers, their suppliers and other technology companies about how to monetize connected vehicle data. This involves: Data that’s offloaded from a roving vehicle fleet (cars, trains, semi-trucks, farm tractors, you name it!). Data coming from driving-related mobile apps used
Han transcurrido varios años desde que el e-commerce llegó a los sitios web y conquistó el mercado de compras en línea, pero nada de esto fue posible por el marketing, la parte estratégica para vender productos para las personas que desconfiaban del internet, tal vez porque la costumbre controlaba los
Some people might think it's an urban legend that SAS gives its employees free M&M's. Well, I'm here to tell you it's true! Every Wednesday at the Cary headquarters, a bucket of M&M's shows up in each of the break rooms. I'm only half-kidding in my suspicion that this is
I recently read an interesting article about petroleum coke (petcoke). A lot of it is produced in the US, and lately a lot of it is consumed (burned) in India ... contributing to air pollution there. The article mentioned some numbers in the text, but the data was really begging to
In my previous post, I described a new options to control the widths of the caps for Whiskers, Error and Limit bars. This topic could have been titled "Little things go a long way", as such details really make for a good graph. In a similar manner, another detail issue
The SG procedures and GTL statements do a lot of work for us to display the data using the specified statements. This includes setting many details such as arrow heads, line patterns etc, including caps. Often, such details have a fixed design according to what seems reasonable for most use
Künstliche Intelligenz (KI), maschinelles Lernen (ML) und Analytics erleben zurzeit einen wahren Boom. Geht es nach den Anbietern, gelangen Produktionsabteilungen mithilfe von Industrie 4.0 und Digitalisierung in ein neues, goldenes Zeitalter, in dem Maschinen „selbstlernend“ für Qualitätsverbesserungen und Kostenreduktion sorgen. Doch anfänglichem Enthusiasmus und ersten positiven Erkenntnissen folgt meist Ernüchterung,
Information Dashboards were the hot topic a few years ago, but the hype seems to have died down lately. A good dashboard is still a very useful way to summarize, analyze, and share data - so I thought I'd re-visit the topic, and try to improve an old dashboard. Did
In the previous post, I discussed creating a 2D grid of spark lines by Year and Claim Type. This graph was presented in the SESUG conference held last week on SAS campus in the paper ""Methods for creating Sparklines using SAS" by Rick Andrews. This grid of sparklines was actually the
The 25th annual SESUG conference was held at in the SAS campus this week. I had the opportunity to meet and chat with many users and attend many excellent presentations. I will write about those that stood out (graphically) in my view. One excellent presentation was on "Methods for creating
„… Internet, Internet, ich hör‘ hier immer Internet. Sag’n Se‘ ma‘, ganz richtig ist das nicht!“ Der Service-Manager errötet nach seinem Rap. Lenin schwankt zwischen Belustigung und bolschewistischem Ingrimm: Stellt der Rote Rapper seine Erfolge im Internet of Things infrage? Der Rapper fährt fort: „Denn diese Daten, die Sie verbraten,
Once in a while you run into a pesky situation that is hard to overcome without resorting to major surgery. Such a situation occurs when you have a stacked bar chart with a discrete legend positioned vertically on the side of the graph. A simple example is shown below. title
Plot statements included in the graph definition can contribute to the legend(s). This can happen automatically, or can be customized using the KEYLEGEND statement. For plot statements that are classified by a group variable, all of the unique group values are displayed in the legend, along with their graphical representation
Last year, a user asked about creating a "Turnip Plot" as used in this study of Caesarian Section Rates. Primarily, this is similar to a histogram on the y-axis for each unique value on the y-axis. A marker is drawn for each occurrence, starting from the center. Back then, I
The previous post on Multiple Blank Categories showed how to include multiple blank categories on the axis. But, given the purpose for this was to separate different segments in the data, I also included ideas on how to segmented a discrete axis using reference lines or Block Plot. A similar idea
Off and on, users have expressed the need to include multiple blank categories on a discrete axis. Often, this is desirable to separate groups of bars (or categories) in a graph due to some difference their definition. Such a case was discussed in this blog article on using non breaking
