Case Study: Festo achieves real-time self-service analytics and energy visibility with Denodo Technologies

Data Virtualization Powers the Data Revolution at Festo

Festo, a global leader in automation technology and technical education, needed to speed its digital transformation by optimizing operational efficiency, automating manufacturing, and delivering on-demand data products to business consumers. The company faced fragmented data silos (data warehouse, machine and streaming sources, etc.), heavy dependence on IT for reporting, and a requirement to give shop-floor teams instant visibility into energy usage to drive efficiency.

Festo’s Big Data team built a Big Data Analytics Framework using the Denodo Platform to virtualize data across on‑premises and cloud sources, streaming feeds and machine data, creating a unified access layer with business-focused virtual views. The solution eliminated data replication, enabled self-service dashboards and real-time energy KPI visualizations for shop-floor teams, reduced IT workload, sped up integration of new sources, and delivered faster, more informed decision-making and measurable energy-saving improvements.
