Nominal's Data Platform Aims to Close the Hardware-Software Engineering Gap
By
SEDaily
The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
The article discusses how hardware engineering lags behind software engineering in terms of tooling, feedback loops, and infrastructure for observability and data management. It introduces Nominal, a data platform designed to bridge this gap by managing the hardware data supply chain end-to-end, from sensor data ingestion to real-time monitoring and post-test analysis.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledSoftware engineering has developed powerful tools for observability, data management, and continuous testing, but hardware engineering has largely not kept pace.
The feedback loops, tooling, and infrastructure that software engineers take for granted simply do not exist in most hardware programs.
Nominal is a data platform built to help hardware organizations move at the same speed as software teams.
It manages the hardware data supply chain end to end, from ingesting high-frequency sensor data off physical assets to enabling real-time control room monitoring, post-test analysis.
