PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloudera, Inc.
(NYSE: CLDR), the modern platform for machine learning and
analytics, optimized for the cloud, announced that Cargotec Oyj
(NASDAQ Helsinki: CGCBV), a leading provider of cargo and load
handling solutions, is using Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub to power
its Internet of Things (IoT) offering to enable predictive
maintenance and develop insightful, data-driven services. Cloudera,
together with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), built a cloud-based
IoT-as-a-Service platform that will usher in a new era of digital
connectivity for the company's cargo handling operations and enable
operational excellence using machine learning.
Cargotec offers solutions and services through various
businesses in the areas of cargo and load handling that ensure its
customers continuous, reliable and sustainable performance.
Operating in more than 100 countries, and with sales of
3.5 billion EUR in 2016, the company
and its subsidiaries have delivered half a million loader cranes to
customers. They have also moved every fourth container in the world
with terminal and port operation solutions, and offered engineering
solutions and services for half of the world's ships to make
transport by sea safe and reliable.
The IoT-as-a-Service solution uses machine learning to derive
insights from streams of data across the thousands of cargo
handling equipment and machinery to enable remote monitoring and
predictive maintenance. Using data, cargo handling operation is
improved, maintenance becomes predictive and anomalies are detected
in real-time. This empowers Cargotec to increase their competitive
edge by offering new types of intelligent services and solutions
with embedded artificial intelligence to customers. Once collected
and cross-utilized, enriched data will be used for driving and
boosting new types of ecosystems by exposing the data through API's
in a robust and controlled way to leverage data assets in new
contexts.
"It is our goal to be a leader in intelligent cargo handling by
2020," said Soili Mäkinen, chief information officer at Cargotec.
"With our scalable IoT platform, we can offer our customers
data-based insights that many of these industrial companies have
never seen before. We use IoT data and machine learning to help
customers recognize how their cargo handling equipment are
performing in different weather conditions, understand how usage
relates to failure rates, and even detect anomalies in transport
systems."
To support Cargotec's IoT goals, Cloudera, together with TCS,
built a cloud-based, sensor data analytics framework that helps
collect, store, analyze and correlate sensor data streams with data
from internal, external and third-party data sources. The advanced
analytics and machine learning platform, based on the flagship
product Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub, will ingest data from
equipment and fleet management, pull in weather patterns and
forecasts, and contrast geography — to perform key analysis for
remote monitoring, predictive equipment maintenance and anomaly
detection, all in real-time.
"We are pleased to enable Cargotec with the Digital
Reimagination™of its business processes and build a strong data
backbone through our solutions and IP," said Dinanath Kholkar,
global head of analytics and insights at TCS. "Our solution allows
for real time sensor data acquisition to establish diagnostics and
facilitate predictive maintenance. The established big data
backbone is scalable, robust and cost effective, and will empower
agility in data driven strategies and business growth."
With Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub, Cargotec derives fuel
efficiency and route optimization which end users like ports or
ships can purchase to improve their operational efficiencies. This
creates new revenue models for Cargotec and keeps its focus on
being an intelligent cargo handling solution. Additionally, the
Cargotec data science team uses Cloudera Data Science Workbench, a
collaborative hub and integrated development environment capable of
running Python, R or Scala with support for Apache Spark to build
machine learning solutions.
"The IoT solution will enable Cargotec, its partners and
customers, to conceptualize entirely new ways of doing business
while increasing operational efficiencies and driving incremental
revenue," said David Pieterse,
general manager, EMEA at Cloudera. "A key factor in developing the
IoT into this type of business tool is employing open source
technologies and machine learning analytics because it offers a
flexible and diverse solution for the variety of data types coming
from manufacturing and cargo equipment."
