How the Swiss LCDM Hub ensures optimal data quality

Digital transformation requires companies to optimise their data management in order to safeguard their market position. Good data validation is critically important in this respect. Yet, many companies struggle with outdated, incomplete or inconsistent information, isolated systems and high integration costs. bbv’s Swiss LCDM Hub offers a complete solution in this context: It simplifies data management, minimises the integration effort involved and enables effective management and harmonisation of data throughout its entire life cycle.

What is the Swiss LCDM Hub?

The Swiss LCDM Hub acts as a central data hub that enables the integration, transformation and organisation of data (structured data, files, models and links) from various sources and systems unidirectionally and/or bidirectionally. It is characterised by innovative functions, such as a low-code configuration layer, an integrated Quality Control Centre (QCC) and flexible customisation options. It also helps companies to maximise data quality. One way this is achieved is by being able to define at any time which system is the lead or master system and which systems consume information.

The platform is versatile – from connecting machines/devices with ERP systems to integrating Internet-of-Things (IoT) data through to comprehensive data migration projects. The Swiss LCDM Hub supports companies on their path to digital transformation and offers a forward-looking approach to data management and customised data processing.

Efficient data integration for seamless processes

Effective data integration is critically important for the success of modern companies. The Swiss LCDM Hub provides a robust platform that enables direct connection and unidirectional and/or bidirectional orchestration of information from different systems. Processes operate more smoothly as a result and the underlying data remains consistent across all applications – a distinct advantage in an increasingly interconnected world.

How does data integration work with the Swiss LCDM Hub?

The platform acts as a central data processing point where data is integrated, processed and distributed. In this context it ensures that:

1. Data formats are converted to create compatibility between systems.
2. The latest information can be accessed at all times thanks to synchronisation of all systems.
3. Data flows are kept free of errors due to validation and cleanup.
4. The data quality in all systems complies with the defined standards.

Potential areas for data integrations

• Integration of machines with ERP systems: Direct transfer of production data from machine controllers to ERP systems enables precise planning, monitoring and evaluation of production in real time.
• Integration of medical devices with HIS/PIS: In healthcare settings, patient data can be automatically transferred from medical devices to hospital and patient information systems, thus significantly increasing safety in patient care.
• Integration of IoT with building automation: Energy consumption and climate control can be optimised by consolidating data from IoT sensors and making it available to building automation systems, both reducing costs and encouraging sustainability.
• Data migration between systems: The Swiss LCDM Hub offers comprehensive support for demanding data migration projects, such as those required when consolidating systems following company acquisitions. The data is cleansed, transformed and seamlessly integrated.

Easy to use – even without in-depth IT knowledge

An innovative feature of the Swiss LCDM Hub is the low-code configuration layer. This gives in-house staff the opportunity to develop interfaces and manage data flows even if they do not have extensive programming knowledge.

What this means for your company:

• Departments can independently make adjustments, reducing the workload on IT departments.
• Changes to interfaces or new systems can be implemented quickly and easily.
• The platform can be integrated without difficulty into existing IT environments.

This type of usability accelerates implementation and increases acceptance among users.

High data quality thanks to integrated Quality Control Centre

Data quality forms the basis for informed decisions and targeted processes. The Quality Control Centre of the Swiss LCDM Hub plays a major role in quality assurance in this respect:

• Partly automated or automatic validation and cleanup: Errors are detected and corrected early on.
• Visualisation of the data flow: Transparent processes make it easier to monitor data connections and conversions.
• Seamless documentation: The QCC records all changes and versions and stores them in a user-friendly manner.

The platform therefore supports companies in meeting compliance requirements and ensuring the accuracy of their data.

High transparency thanks to integrated data warehouse and BI reporting

Data quality forms the basis for informed decisions and targeted processes. It is important in this context to be able to visualise the data quality KPIs at all times and to drill down into the statistical data over the course of time.

Customised data processing

The Swiss LCDM Hub offers customised data processing, with users being able to adapt the level of detail to suit their individual needs. This allows unnecessary data flows to be avoided. In addition, the available resources can be strategically focused on relevant information.

Marketing and sales teams benefit from the seamless integration of CRM and PIM systems, while IT departments can provide data for specific applications. This flexibility creates clear structures that increase efficiency and simplify decision making – a decisive advantage for data-driven companies.

Proven in practice: How the Swiss LCDM Hub makes the difference

The success of the Swiss LCDM Hub is reflected in its versatility, efficiency and effectiveness in different industries. From the manufacturing industry to healthcare, the platform helps to optimise data processes, reduce costs and ensure optimal data quality.

Our best practice from healthcare – the Insel Gruppe (Bern)

The Insel Gruppe, a leading healthcare network in Switzerland, faced the challenge of transferring planning data from various sources to the company’s target systems. The Swiss LCDM Hub made it possible to efficiently manage these complex data flows.

• Simplified data transfer: Planning data was automatically transferred to the operational facility management system (FM) and hospital information systems (HIS).
• Faster startup: By streamlining data flows, it was possible to get new buildings up and running much faster, thus significantly reducing the overall project time.
• Improved data quality: Use of the integrated Quality Control Centre ensured that all data was consistent and free of errors.

This example shows how the Swiss LCDM Hub not only simplifies data integration, but also noticeably improves efficiency in complex construction and operational projects.
