107 MANU FAC TUR I NG & R E SOUR C E S “The increased focus of the manufacturing community on being more productive and resilient is no surprise. The pandemic altered the way the industry functioned. The manufacturing industry has been rather quick in embracing nextgeneration solutions and products in its quest for sustainability. At Grazitti, we have seen the industry focus on the adoption of cloud infrastructure with enterprise Microsoft products including Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 among others. Our large portfolio of Microsoft services and products has been helping the manufacturing community with performance optimisation, migration, integration, customisation and more. Additionally, our products, in sync with the vision of the factory of the future, enable manufacturers to achieve operational excellence by addressing typical and complex challenges in administration, engineering, integration and beyond.” “The increased global focus on environmental stewardship (energy transition) and Covid-19 exponentially accelerated the requirements for digital transformation in the world of manufacturing. Despite this, it is estimated that globally, less than one per cent of collected data for process-critical assets is being used to make decisions supporting a greener operation. To address this, Howden is building a suite of solutions that enable the collection, transformation and linking of asset data and original equipment manufacturer expertise into an analytics-based service for process-critical assets that supports our customers with actionable insights into a more efficient and sustainable operation of their vital assets. These solutions leverage the full stack of Microsoft tools available in the cloud, from connectivity of the asset, Azure IoT Analytics Hub, Dynamics 365 for Remote Assistance supported by HoloLens 2, to integration with other IoT applications, such as PTC ThingWorx and others.” Anoop Sanduja Senior Technical Manager, Microsoft Practice, Grazitti Interactive Maria Wilson Global Leader of Digital Growth, Howden
