MD 143 You CAN collect TOO MUCH time series data!!! with Jim Gavigan
This week’s guest I had stumbled upon in my endless scrolling through linked in. The title of this person’s article was ‘Rant – you can collect too much data. As someone in AI and IIoT is could have not disagreed more with this person, until I watched his video, and now, I changed my mind!
This week I welcome the Timeseries Data Storyteller, Jim Gavigan to the show to discuss all things data, how to store it, what to do with it, and what not to do with it.
