Case Study: SanDisk achieves improved production quality, reduced drive errors, and predictive failure detection with Cloudera Enterprise

SanDisk Maximizes Production Quality with Machine Learning and Analytics Powered by Cloudera Enterprise

SanDisk, a global leader in flash storage, faced rapidly growing volumes of manufacturing and sensor data spread across relational databases, NoSQL stores, and spreadsheets, making it difficult to ensure consistent product quality, detect errors, and predict failures across its production pipeline.

By deploying Cloudera Enterprise as a unified, secure enterprise data hub, SanDisk consolidated data from design through assembly and applied tools like Impala, Apache Spark, and Hive plus Cloudera Navigator and Apache Sentry for security and governance. The platform enabled end-to-end analytics and machine learning at scale, allowing SanDisk to reduce drive errors, predict failures, and make real-time manufacturing improvements that boost product reliability and performance.
