Due various benefits associated with big data, it can be applied to business to better optimize, as
- Seismic Data Processing – Seismic data processing using low cost massive parallel processing platform
- Steel Plant Factory Optimization – Optimization of the steel manufacturing factory performance in areas of predictive maintenance, implementation of value engineering and environment management
- Retail Recommender for Consumers – A solution to provide personalized & category-wise recommendations based on learning
- Clinical Trials Analytics – Enhance the understanding of clinical data and also to improve healthcare using faster prediction and analysis
- Pricing – Organizations could vary their price if they had enough information on each user to know how much they might pay. To a certain degree, this happens in online retail with airlines targeting previous browsers, and some stores, changing prices depending on which physical store the customer is nearest.
- Weather – Companies can use sensors to map atmospheric readings. Mobile handsets such as the Samsun S4, contain a barometer, hygrometer (humidity), ambient thermometer and lightmeter. The prospect of millions of personal weather stations feeding into one machine that will average out readings is exciting, and one that has the potential to improve forecasting.
- Infectious diseases – Data from local climate and temperature helps to find correlations with how infectious disease spreads. This analysis is used to predict the location of future outbreaks.
