Kathleen Mitford onstage at Hannover
Messe in June operations on Azure AI . We had over 24 different partners showcasing their technology built on the Microsoft stack at our booth . Let me tell you what gets me excited about them , starting with manufacturing data solutions in Fabric .
In this space , we ’ ve been talking about digital transformation and digital thread for years , but it ’ s oftentimes felt a little out of reach for our customers to achieve . And why is that ? Because in manufacturing you have IT data and you have OT data . The IT data is typically managed by those who sit in an office space , and the OT data originates from the factory floor . What manufacturing data solutions in Fabric allows you to do is to create the data context for all of your different data , no matter where it is , which is critical to be able to make sense of it .
And that ’ s where our Copilot templates come in . Let ’ s say I ’ m a frontline worker on the factory floor . A machine goes down , I see an error code and I don ’ t know how to address it . I can use the Copilot template to discover the steps to address the error of the particular machine or asset , without having to look through manuals and lots of different data . Another reason why I get so excited
