Advanced Course on Data Collection, Protection, and Analysis

The course delves into the entire data lifecycle in industrial and distributed contexts: from collection via IoT devices, to protection through anonymization techniques, and finally to data analysis to extract value and support decision-making processes. The focus is technical and operational, with real-world examples and applications, aiming to provide solid skills for effectively, securely, and practically managing field data, without delving into regulatory or cybersecurity aspects. The course has a strong component of customization based on client needs.
