The term "continuous intelligence" is particularly at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data and smart data as well as Industry and Factory 4.0. Continuous intelligence describes the ability of computer systems to continuously process and analyse large amounts of data in real time and immediately derive useful decisions from it.
In contrast to traditional analyses, which are based on older data, continuous intelligence is about taking current events and information directly into account. This ensures that companies can react faster and better to changes.
An illustrative example is a modern production line: sensors constantly measure temperature, speed or material quality. A system with continuous intelligence analyses this data without pause and detects any impending faults at an early stage. Production can then be adjusted immediately, even before a problem actually occurs.
This minimises downtime and reduces costs. Continuous intelligence therefore gives companies a clear competitive advantage because they can act faster and make better decisions.
