Michelin needed a better way to modernize their operations by accessing real-time inventory data to remove these blockers across their entire supply chain. This is why they chose Apache Kafka®, the de facto standard for data streaming, for their new event-driven architecture and partnered with Confluent.
Kai Waehner, Global Field CTO at Confluent, shares the basics on use cases from Confluent customers in the manufacturing industry. Learn why so many global manufacturers leverage data streaming for OT and IT data to achieve end-to-end visibility into their OEM supply chains.
To drive innovation, BMW turned to Confluent for a scalable, real-time data streaming platform to manage its vast IoT data estate from manufacturing and R&D, alleviating the burden of self-managing Apache Kafka to enable seamless, real-time access for operational and development teams.
“Confluent plays an integral role in accelerating our journey to becoming a data-first and digital business…We use Confluent Cloud as an essential piece of our data infrastructure to unlock data and stream it in real time.”
“With Confluent, we have a data streaming platform that’s been quick to set up, where configuration is automated, and with zero maintenance tasks so we can focus on processing logic.”
Although Siemens first addressed its need for real-time data with open source Apache Kafka, the team knew they needed Confluent to take their strategy to the next level. “We had this Siemens cloud-first strategy, which we needed to take into consideration… We did a total cost of ownership analysis, and the result was that the Confluent Cloud had the best cost-benefit ratio for us.”
"Engaging Confluent gave us the peace of mind that comes with minimizing downtime and knowing that our Kafka systems are in the hands of one of the industry’s leading data-in-motion experts."
