Databricks for manufacturing, in 78 seconds
A plant keeps last week in five systems and gets five answers. In a minute and a quarter, this shows how we bring the ERP, the line historian, the quality lab and the maintenance log together on Databricks, so Monday's question has one number and the plant manager can ask for it in plain English. If your plant gets five answers too, one of our senior engineers will walk through your systems with you.
The plant and its figures are illustrative. Captions are on by default.

Land it once, in one lakehouse

See it before it stops the line
Problems show up earlier, too. A drive whose load has been climbing for days is on a chart well before it stops the line.
