PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloudera,
Inc. (NYSE: CLDR), the modern platform for machine learning
and analytics, optimized for the cloud, announced that Komatsu, a
leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, has implemented a
cloud-based Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) analytics platform
powered by Cloudera Enterprise and Microsoft Azure. The platform
enables Komatsu teams to help mining customers around the world
continuously monitor the performance of some of the largest
equipment used in surface and underground mining, increase asset
utilization and productivity, and deliver essential resources
including energy and industrial minerals for the global
economy.
Komatsu's JoySmart Solutions is an IIoT-based service that helps
customers optimize machine performance using machine data and
analytics. The JoySmart platform ingests, stores and processes a
wide variety of data collected from mining equipment operating
around the globe, often at very remote locations in harsh
conditions. Types of equipment monitored includes longwall mining
systems, electric rope shovels, continuous miners and wheel
loaders. Their data includes time-series metrics — machine
pressures, temperatures, currents, etc. — alarm and event data, and
other information from third party systems. A single machine can
have hundreds to multiple thousand data metrics and generate
30,000-50,000 unique time-stamped records per minute.
"With increasing customer demand and more connected machines, we
were looking at data growth reaching 30 terabytes per month. Our
former environment limited our ability to scale, grow and
innovate," said Anthony Reid, senior
manager of analytics at Komatsu. "With Cloudera's modern platform,
we use advanced data analytics and machine learning to power our
IIoT success. We now provide customers with better recommendations
on machine utilization and deliver services faster. In one example,
we were able to make recommendations for a large coal mining
company that enabled them to double the daily utilization of their
Joy longwall system."
"By deploying Cloudera Enterprise on Microsoft Azure, our teams
make the invisible visible, gaining valuable insights to help
customers optimize productivity and mining efficiencies. Cloudera
delivered the fast performance, data security and customer support
that allowed our teams to access machine data analytics and
collaborate with different user groups across the world," said
Reid.
Komatsu data scientists can now build and deploy machine
learning models faster to understand equipment operation, provide
better insights for customers and ultimately influence future
mining equipment design. Utilizing components such as Apache Kudu
and Apache Spark, Komatsu can drive real-time processing, machine
learning, and analytics on all of their IoT data, including data in
motion and data at rest.
"Komatsu required a modern data platform that not only delivers
next-generation machine learning and advanced analytics
capabilities in the cloud, but is also scalable to increases in
their customers' equipment utilization and productivity," said
Dave Shuman, IoT and manufacturing
industry leader at Cloudera. "With Cloudera, Komatsu can now use
the vast amounts of data to help its mining customers manage
increasing pressure to be environmentally smarter and more
productive at a lower operation cost."
