Our enterprise hardware company seeks to enhance its data infrastructure to support real-time analytics for predictive maintenance. The aim is to reduce equipment downtime by leveraging cutting-edge data engineering solutions, enabling proactive issue identification and resolution. This project will integrate event streaming and data mesh technologies to provide our engineering teams with timely insights and improved operational efficiency.

📋Project Details

As a leader in the Hardware & Electronics industry, we are committed to maintaining our competitive edge through innovation and operational excellence. Our current challenge lies in optimizing equipment uptime across our manufacturing facilities. Presently, equipment failures result in costly production halts, impacting our bottom line and customer satisfaction. We aim to address this by building a robust real-time data infrastructure that facilitates predictive maintenance through proactive monitoring and analysis. Key technologies will include Apache Kafka for event streaming, Apache Spark for batch and streaming analytics, and Airflow for orchestrating workflows. The data infrastructure will be designed to support a data mesh architecture, ensuring autonomy and scalability across various teams. Our data will be stored and analyzed using Snowflake and BigQuery, with dbt and Databricks providing transformation and data science capabilities, respectively. This project will create a resilient system that reduces downtime, increases equipment lifespan, and ultimately delivers cost savings and enhanced productivity.
