Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Industrial companies need AI that works in their actual operating environments: engineers can't type into a chatbot when they're wearing gloves, offshore wind farms need systems that work without signal, and manufacturing plants require solutions that speak the language of their 40-year-old machinery, where one mistake prolongs a power outage, shuts down a production line, or costs millions in wasted inventory.
The solution
IFS Nexus Black built Resolve, an AI assistant on Claude, that uses Claude's multimodal capabilities to analyze equipment images, correlate sensor readings and connect patterns across visual inspections and operational data; the Model Context Protocol connects legacy industrial systems that are traditionally hard to integrate, Skills by Claude manages decades of industrial documentation, and Anthropic's Agent SDK powers agentic workflows that coordinate diagnostics, parts ordering and final verification.
Reported business value
Resolve resolves faults in assets at a plant, site or in the field 25% faster, and utilities cut unnecessary stock by 20% through predictive maintenance and smart sourcing; at a William Grant & Sons distillery, moving from 38% reactive repairs to predicting failures early has slashed downtime and boosted output, with the team estimating £8.4 million a year in savings at that single site once in business-as-usual mode.

HP crafts marketing campaigns that resonate with customers using Databricks and Uniphore
HP centralized first-party customer data on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and connected it to Uniphore's HybridCompute for federated query pushdown, cutting campaign setup from 2 weeks to 2 hours and processing 400 million records in seconds.
Building a safer and more sustainable world
Novade, a construction management software company, partnered with Databricks to modernize its analytics and ML infrastructure, moving from a homegrown Apache Airflow stack to the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and MLflow. The move reduced total cost of ownership by 60% and supported a 100% increase in new clients, while enabling ML models for predicting incident risk affecting worker safety and project delivery schedules.
SafeGraph optimizes geospatial data processing with Databricks and Delta Sharing
SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.
Transforming Weather Forecasting with Lakeflow Jobs
AccuWeather migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Databricks and Lakeflow Jobs, working with Datadog for observability, to unify diverse weather data formats and orchestrate 4,500+ weekly jobs. Lakeflow Jobs coordinates the ingestion of multiple weather models, triggers machine learning processes that weight and blend different forecasts, and manages complex job dependencies for reinforcement training workflows used in AccuWeather's proprietary forecasting engine. AccuWeather reports 3x faster dataset development (three months to one month per dataset), a 50% reduction in unactionable alerts, and 50% cost savings on serverless job usage.
