Case Study: Aarbakke achieves smarter factory operations with Cognite Data Fusion

Aarbakke cuts tool assemblies 60% with Cognite

Aarbakke, a leading global machining company, faced the challenge of operational data silos between its OT and IT systems, which hindered its Smart Factory initiative. To optimize operations and maintenance, the company partnered with Cognite and leveraged its Cognite Data Fusion® product to break down these barriers and unify data from various sources like CNC machines, welding robots, and its ERP system.

Using Cognite Data Fusion®, Cognite created a comprehensive and reusable data foundation for Aarbakke. This solution enabled the rapid scaling of over 15 use cases across asset management and quality, reducing rollout time from six months to one. The measurable results were significant, including $6 million in annual value, a 60% reduction in tool assemblies, and a 20-30% reduction in service costs.
