Porsche Carrera Cup Brasil gets real-time data boost with Microsoft AI

Dener Motorsport, responsible for the Porsche Carrera Cup Brasil, uses Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence to stream race-car telemetry to engineers in real time for predictive maintenance. The solution combines Synapse Real-Time Analytics, Data Activator, EventStreams, and Eventhouse to ingest sensor data from engines, gearboxes, suspension, and brakes, replacing a process that previously required manual post-race downloads. The team worked with Microsoft, partner Blueshift, and Ituran MOB to build an IoT-enabled architecture for race-car data capture and monitoring.

  • Getting and analyzing race-car data was laborious and could take hours, and only after the race was over.
  • Engineers needed to identify sensor anomalies quickly to prevent incidents and avoid expensive corrective maintenance during events.
  • Dener Motorsport began working with Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence in July 2023.
  • The solution uses Synapse Real-Time Analytics for streaming analysis and Data Activator to monitor and trigger actions in real time.
  • Engineers ingest data from each car every second with EventStreams, analyze it with Eventhouse, and distribute it to team managers and race participants.
  • Dener worked with Microsoft, partner Blueshift, and Ituran MOB to develop the requirements and process the telemetry through an IoT device plugged into the cars via CAN bus cables.
  • Engineers can access data in real time during races.
  • The process that previously took between 30 minutes and two hours is now available while racing.
  • The team can detect most issues before they cascade into serious problems.
  • The architecture creates a core foundation for future engineering capabilities and potential fan-engagement use cases.
Architecture

Telematics from Porsche race cars is captured by an IoT device connected to CAN bus cables, streamed into Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, analyzed with Synapse Real-Time Analytics and Eventhouse, and acted on through Data Activator and EventStreams.
