Fonterra improves manufacturing resilience through edge-to-cloud analytics

Fonterra, in collaboration with Rockwell Automation and Microsoft, modernized its manufacturing operations by integrating IT and OT data systems using edge-to-cloud digital solutions. The approach leverages cloud-native frameworks on Microsoft Azure and FactoryTalk InnovationSuite to unify operational data from sensors, equipment, and plants. Edge AI models train and process data locally, with insights securely transmitted to Azure cloud for enterprise-scale analytics and reporting. This allows Fonterra to monitor and analyze equipment and site-level data across multiple plants, driving operational efficiency, productivity, and secure, real-time decision-making on a company-wide scale. The platform's security is strengthened by Zero Trust principles, ensuring data confidentiality and integrity throughout the workflows.
