论文摘要
数字技术的多功能性依赖于代表和操纵算法选择的物理过程，对象或域中质量的能力。在组织上真正的数字表示形式是那些仅仅能力实际上被编织到日常工作实践的能力。从经验上讲，我们借鉴了一项为期四年的石油和天然气生产案例研究。我们的案例为物联网（IoT）的可视化和数据驱动的预测提供了生动的例证，这些预测是为了数字化的工业过程和制造业企业而努力的特征。我们通过确定和讨论三种机制来做出贡献，通过这些机制，数字表示在组织上成为真实的机制：（i）降低降噪（策略和启发式方法，从噪声中滤除信号的策略和启发式），（ii）物质束缚（将数字表示形式扎根于相应的物理测量）和（iii）三角剖分（在缺乏直接相应的数字代表性的情况下，相对于其他数字代表性的情况下）。
The versatility of digital technologies relies on a capacity to represent and subsequently manipulate algorithmically selected physical processes, objects or qualities in a domain. Organizationally real digital representations are those that, beyond the mere capacity to, actually get woven into everyday work practices. Empirically, we draw on a four-year case study of offshore oil and gas production. Our case provides a vivid illustration of Internet of Things (IoT) based visualizations and data driven predictions characteristic for efforts of digitally transforming industrial process and manufacturing enterprises. We contribute by identifying and discussing three mechanisms through which digital representations become organizationally real: (i) noise reduction (the strategies and heuristics to filter out signal from noise), (ii) material tethering (grounding the digital representations to a corresponding physical measurement) and (iii) triangulating (in the absence of a direct correspondence, corroborating digital representations relative to other representations).
