Case Study: 3M achieves efficiency and cost savings with Microsoft Azure SQL Edge

3M manufacturing plant uses data analytics to increase efficiency and cost savings with Azure SQL Edge

3M, a manufacturing company, wanted to improve efficiency and reduce costs by using data analytics for predictive maintenance in its plant operations. The challenge was to identify equipment issues before they occurred and make processes easier and faster as Industry 4.0 approaches, using Microsoft Azure SQL Edge.

Microsoft Azure implemented Azure SQL Edge to help 3M enable predictive maintenance and improve interoperability across systems. The result was faster, simpler operations that helped 3M save money, time, and effort while increasing efficiency and supporting cost savings.
