Gerdau, Brazil's largest steel producer, consolidated a complex homegrown open-source data ecosystem onto the Databricks Data + AI Platform, using Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and Unity Catalog to enable real-time processing for digital twin simulations of production lines. The move cut data processing time from 1.5 hours to 12 minutes, delivered a 40% cost reduction for data processing and 80% faster development of streaming solutions, and enabled new AI applications including predictive maintenance, image and text classification, and an LLM-based upskilling assistant for employees.
