Case Study: Bridgestone Corporation achieves safer, more efficient tire management with Microsoft Corporation Azure

Bridgestone enhances safe, efficient mobility with Tirematics using Microsoft Azure

BridgeStone, a global leader in tire technology, needed a smarter way to detect early tire issues and reduce the time and errors involved in manual inspections. It turned to Microsoft Corporation and its Azure cloud services to power Tirematics, a digital solution that monitors tire pressure and temperature in real time and sends alerts when abnormalities are detected.

Microsoft Corporation helped BridgeStone re-architect Tirematics on Azure using services like Azure IoT Hub, Azure Data Lake Store, Azure Stream Analytics, and Azure Event Hubs. The result was faster maintenance response, lower inspection workload, and fewer tire-related operating issues; the solution also scaled globally and was operating in 20 countries as of January 2019, including successful field tests with Hato Bus in Japan.
