In this segment, the speaker discusses strategic decisions around data retention granularity—whether to capture data every 6 seconds, 1 second, or 1 minute—and the implications for the manufacturing data architecture. They emphasize reliance on the IT team to evaluate these choices and to determine the necessity of moving data storage to the cloud. The speaker highlights that the organization is approaching the creation of a data lake, which will enable large‑scale analytics, modeling, and advanced insights. Consequently, they argue that migrating to cloud‑based storage is an urgent priority to support the massive datasets required for future models.

we're kind of making decisions on how much data we're keeping, right? And if we want to keep a piece of data every 6 seconds or every 1 second or just every minute. So, I am, I'm relying on my IT team to say, okay, you want to do this, then we need to do this from a data architecture and whether or not to go in the cloud, you know, all those types of decisions. But I think that, I think we're tracking towards starting to keep some information in the cloud because we, we're on the cusp of creating the data lake that's needed and the, the types of analytics like getting into modeling and things like this and considering really, really large sets of data in order to power these models. We're gonna, we're gonna have to go there sooner rather than later.
