On the Ragged Edge of a Revolution, Paper360º March/April 2018

There is a significant opportunity for improving quality and economic performance in paper manufacturing through application of Big Data analysis. Obstacles are being over-come, but improvements in complementary analytical tools are still needed and are in development. Through these tools, mills can reap significant benefits.

The term Big Data was first documented in a 1997 paper by NASA to describe data-sets that were large enough to tax the capacity of main-frame machine memory, local disk space, and remote disk space. More recently, Big Data has become an all-encompassing term for stored real-time data too large and complex to process with manual data management tools or traditional processing methods.
