INTRODUCTION 

Big data is booming in every sector of the industry. Companies and organizations are switching to data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data from traditional methods. At present, big data has wide applications. The reason why companies are using big data is that big data gives informative content to them by analyzing the huge sets of the data. All the firms are investing their money in the applications of big data for recognizing the hidden patterns, market trends, unknown correlations, customer preferences, etc.

APPLICATIONS OF THE BIG DATA

Here are some applications of big data in different sectors of the industry. They are listed below-->

• Big data in healthcare
• Big data in manufacturing
• Big data in entertainment and media
• Big data in IoT (Internet of Things)
• Big data in government
• Weather forecasting

BIG DATA IN HEALTHCARE

The data which is generated in the healthcare sector is very vital. In the earlier times, the healthcare sector didn't use the big data because not much tools were available at that time for storing and managing the big data. But now this sector is improving itself with the help of big data. This sector is majorly said to be working on the prescriptive analysis. In the prescriptive analysis, the current situations are kept in mind and based on that future decisions are made.

Moreover, researchers are processing the big data so that they can find out what treatment would be more effective for which patients, recognizing patterns which occur due to the side effects of the drugs, etc. The best example of this would be an MRI. If we use the pictures of MRI scanning in a more zoom view then a single picture of MRI scan would cover the space of a hard disk. Though, this picture would be worth it.

BIG DATA IN MANUFACTURING

The big data is effective also in the manufacturing sector. This sector works on predictive analysis. In the predictive analysis, it is predicted that what could happen in the future based on the current situations. Following are the advantages of using big data in the manufacturing sector-->

• Increases quality of product
• It tells about the outputs. 
• It increases energy efficiency
