Trends for your factory with Google Data Search
You probably already know the importance of data and how it helps you to improve decision making in your factory. But where can you find it?
With Google Data Search, you can access the data you need and find a new way to develop your business. Let's get started!
What is Google Data Search?
Google has become the most widely used search engine in the world. Thanks to this platform, it is estimated that 81.000 searches are performed every second.
However, many times this search can be complicated and the result obtained may not be the ideal one. And this, in a business like a factory, where you have to constantly find new ways to optimise resources and boost productivity, is essential.
Google Data Search offers a complementary service to the famous search engine. It is a search engine that makes it easy to find data shared on the internet free of charge for your use. A very useful function for all those people who are looking for accurate and detailed information.
What are its main functions?
Google Data Search can be key for a factory looking for new strategies. With this tool, you will be able to:
-
Adapt your searches, having the opportunity to perform them in a simple way, for example, by using keywords.
-
Obtain complementary information, such as summaries, descriptions, previews, graphs, tables or analysis of data sources.
-
Filter the results, for example, by topics, formats or dates to have the opportunity to get the results you need.
-
Learn about new data, through suggestions of previous searches or current trends that interest users.
-
Sharing with the team, since, being public, it allows other people to view them and, in addition, to integrate with other Google tools.
Google Data Search is a search engine that allows you to find valuable data shared on the internet for free.
How can a factory use it?
Use of Google Data Search is very similar to the traditional Google search engine. If you have a factory or you work there and you want to know how to use it, we show you step by step how to do it:
-
Open Google Data Search in your browser: go to the search engine's website to start using it. You don't need a Google account, as anyone can access this tool, but keep in mind that having one allows you to adjust your searches according to your needs.
-
Use the search bar: type in the terms you want to get data on. Use keywords such as 'manufacturing machinery', 'energy cost reduction' or the product you are working on in your SME.
-
See the results: click and Google Data Search gives you a list of data based on the keyword you used. For each one, you will see a title, a description of the content, the date it was updated and the format in which it is found.
-
Filter according to your needs: use the top bar of the website to refine your search to suit your needs. You can choose, among other options, the date of update, the download format, the theme or the provider.
-
Download the datasets you need: once you have found the information, you can save it to your device in the format you prefer. You can also share it with others in your team.
Google Data Search is mainly recommended as a tool to find new trends that help you to innovate and explore new ways to develop your factory. Thanks to the different styles of data search for a factory, it is highly interesting to optimise the operational process, for example, with information about the energy consumption of machines, their environmental impact or their maintenance. With all this, you can improve decision making based on real data and information.
