Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Reckitt's marketing teams had long relied on fragmented systems and traditional, manual workflows; marketers could spend weeks combining data from multiple sources even for routine tasks like media analysis or brand performance reports, leaving little time to adapt to market changes and focus on innovation. Reckitt needed a unified platform to handle both structured and unstructured data across multiple functions while ensuring scalability and governance.
The solution
Building on their existing use of Databricks for data warehousing and structured data, Reckitt extended the platform to power its GenAI ambitions, building an AI system called the Insight Engine that unifies consumer research, product reviews and social listening signals. At the core of the architecture is Databricks Model Serving, giving real-time access to multiple LLMs including OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 and Google's Gemini tailored to different business needs. AI Search, a retrieval-augmented generation component, retrieves relevant information from structured and unstructured sources to power the Insight Engine, while Agent Bricks AI Gateway provides integrated governance so AI outputs remain reliable and safe while scaling.
Reported business value
Reckitt's marketing teams achieved a 40% improvement in task execution and a 40-60% reduction in time to develop campaign concepts, including 60% faster concept development and 30% faster ad adaptation and localization. Marketing teams can now analyze data in days instead of weeks, and hundreds of marketers were using the AI tools across the organization by the end of 2025.

Sight Machine's AI scheduling agent cuts a beverage manufacturer's non-value-added production time 75%
Sight Machine integrated OptiMind, a small language model from Microsoft Research, through Microsoft Foundry to build an AI-driven scheduling agent for a major beverage manufacturer that had been replanning production schedules 10-15 times per week through manual meetings. OptiMind converts scheduling problems described in natural language, combined with real-time plant data on line speeds, changeover times, and ramp-up durations, into Mixed-Integer Programming optimization models, automatically regenerating an optimized schedule when floor conditions change. The system cut non-value-added production time by 75%, improved overall plant productivity by more than 10%, reduced changeover-related downtime by nearly 80%, cut ramp-up delays by nearly 60%, and reduced clean-in-place sanitation downtime by almost 90%, eliminating hours of manual planning work each week without adding production infrastructure.

So nutzt Krones digitale Zwillinge und KI in der Produktion
Krones, working with technology-ecosystem partners Ansys (part of Synopsys), Cadfem, Microsoft Azure, Nvidia (Omniverse/OpenUSD) and SoftServe, developed 'Agentic Digital Twins' that combine physically exact real-time simulation with AI agents capable of judgment and decision-making for beverage production lines. Simulation runs that previously took three to four hours now complete in under five minutes; the AI agents test scenarios and settings, optimize workflows, and transfer the best solutions to real equipment. The digital twin was used in developing Krones' new 'Ingeniq' line concept, presented at Drinktec 2025. Compute-intensive simulations run on Microsoft Azure using Nvidia's accelerated computing platform.
