Case Study: Colfax enhances product value with Microsoft Corporation and Azure IoT

PTC ThingWorx helps Colfax enhance the value of its products with Azure IoT

Colfax, a global industrial technology company, needed to accelerate its digital transformation and expand its IIoT capabilities for its ESAB and Howden businesses. After initially building a proprietary platform, Colfax turned to Microsoft Corporation, using Azure IoT alongside PTC ThingWorx, Azure Cosmos DB, and SQL Server to create a more scalable and secure solution.

Microsoft Corporation helped Colfax rapidly build, customize, and connect IoT applications that deliver bidirectional communication, global scalability, and richer operational insights. The implementation improved productivity through ESAB’s WeldCloud and CutCloud analytics and helped Howden customers spot irregularities before failures, reducing the risk of costly downtime that can reach $1 million to $5 million per hour.
