Case Study: Rolls-Royce achieves millions in cost avoidance with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Rolls-Royce innovates with Power Platform to drive efficiencies

Rolls-Royce, the UK-based aerospace and power systems company, was looking to improve productivity and cut costs across its design, build, and operate functions as part of a broader digital transformation. Using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing capabilities, the company aimed to modernize engine design, production, and maintenance with AI and cloud technologies.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 helped Rolls-Royce implement AI- and machine learning-driven solutions for design optimization, turbine blade inspection, and engine health monitoring. The results included a 30% increase in machine usage, faster fault resolution from days to near real time, and detection/prevention of about 400 unplanned maintenance events each year, saving millions in repair costs and reducing scrap.
