What Is Data Cleaning, Why Is It Important and How Does Sealenic Do It ?

In the rapidly evolving shipping industry, data is the new currency. However, the challenge often lies in the quality of this data. As Sealenic develops dedicated data pipelines to tackle the messy data problem, the company emphasizes the critical role of data cleaning, harmonizing, and enrichment as foundational elements for successfully leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The Importance of Data Quality

The concept of "garbage in, garbage out" (GIGO) serves as a stark reminder that AI can only produce meaningful insights if it has access to high-quality data. Poor-quality data can lead to misleading results, ultimately hindering decision-making processes. Here's how Sealenic addresses this fundamental issue:

• Data Cleaning: Shipping companies often rely on data that is incomplete or erroneous. Sealenic implements rigorous cleaning processes to eliminate inaccuracies, ensuring that the data used for AI applications is reliable.
• Data Harmonization: Given the diverse sources of data in the shipping industry, harmonization is essential. Sealenic standardizes and normalizes data formats, making it easier to analyze and draw insights from across different platforms.
• Data Enrichment: To enhance the value of existing data, Sealenic integrates additional information that contextualizes raw data. This enrichment adds depth to the analyses that AI performs, leading to more informed decisions.

Unlocking AI's Potential in Shipping

With foundational data practices in place, the potential of AI in shipping becomes tangible. By utilizing clean, harmonized, and enriched data, Sealenic provides shipping companies with the tools they need to:
