Overview
LG Electronics built its Intellytics Customer 360 (IC360) platform on Databricks with Delta Lake and Databricks SQL to unify customer purchasing data via ID pinning, cutting data unification processing time from 10 hours to 3 hours (70% reduction) and total data system costs by 50%.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
LG struggled to understand the meaning of database tables scattered across individual business department systems, and schema updates interrupted users; the complex process of matching and linking individual customer data records ("customer data ID pinning") was difficult, and an external CDP could not handle more than about 10 simultaneous queries, causing failures that prevented LG's Intellytics Customer 360 (IC360) platform from launching.
The solution
LG Electronics introduced the Databricks Data + AI Platform, using Delta Lake for ACID transactions and unified streaming/batch processing, automated cluster management with a software development kit to add, remove and stop thousands of API-based jobs, a private link to block external access to the control plane, and Databricks SQL for high-performance queries on large datasets.
Reported business value
By using Databricks, the time to pin and process customer data was reduced from 10 hours to three hours, a 70% improvement, data logic processing costs dropped 30% from more efficient compute consumption, and flexible peak/off-peak operation delivered up to a 50% reduction in total data system management and compute costs.

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.
