Solution	TietoEVRY helped Wienerberger and Pipelife to implement a full digitalization strategy, transferring the company's vision of 'all relevant data available online all the time' and creating 'Digital Twins'. This solution allowed connections to hundreds of data points to be established, transmitting thousands of signals per second to a central data hub in an Azure-based cloud environment. Azure functionalities were used to ingest, store, analyze, and visualize the data streams. User group-specific access was enabled, providing customized views for different roles, allowing them to work with specific information relevant to them. This solution not only provided complete data transparency but also laid the foundation for further efficiency gains. Read More Log in to view content
