Claritus Consulting streamlines factory operations through unified cloud ecosystem
Claritus Consulting, a Microsoft Gold Partner, implemented smart manufacturing solutions for clients by leveraging Microsoft Cloud capabilities. Most factories suffer from fragmented OT and IT systems, causing data silos and lack of real-time visibility. The unified ecosystem integrated MES, ERP, PLCs, sensors, and quality systems for real-time operational insight. Azure IoT and Digital Twins enabled predictive maintenance and anomaly detection to reduce unplanned downtime and repair costs. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain and AI-driven forecasting supported resilient supply chains and responsive production. Microsoft Fabric and Power BI facilitated data-driven decision-making and supply chain agility. Power Platform enabled workflow automation and accelerated innovation cycles.

Showing 3 of 4
- 1Predictive maintenance for factory equipment
- 2Unified operational data for smart manufacturing
- 3Real-time supply chain optimization with AI
- Factories operated with fragmented OT and IT systems and siloed data.
- Operational visibility only reached the machine or line level, not system-wide.
- Decisions relied on legacy dashboards that were not real-time.
- Maintenance was reactive, resulting in unplanned downtime and increased costs.
- Supply chain volatility made it hard to optimize planning and inventory.
- Innovation cycles were slow, limited by legacy infrastructure.
- Designed secure, scalable architectures for the Microsoft Cloud ecosystem.
- Integrated MES, PLCs, ERP, edge devices, and sensors using Azure IoT and Digital Twins.
- Migrated legacy systems to modern, cloud-ready setups.
- Deployed predictive maintenance and anomaly detection models with Azure AI and Machine Learning.
- Created real-time Power BI and Fabric dashboards to provide transparency.
- Automated workflows with Power Platform to optimize performance and innovation.
- Improved productivity and reliability by unifying operations data.
- Reduced unplanned downtime via predictive maintenance.
- Accelerated supply chain optimization and agile response to disruptions.
- Enhanced transparency and operational visibility with real-time analytics.
- Enabled faster innovation cycles and time-to-value.
Architecture
The solution integrates OT and IT systems (MES, PLCs, ERP, sensors, edge devices) into a cohesive Microsoft Cloud architecture. Azure IoT and Digital Twins collect data from assets and machines; predictive models run in Azure AI and Machine Learning; dashboards are built with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI; automation and workflow orchestration are handled via Power Platform.
