“At Lennox International, we have 1000’s of devices streaming data
back into our IoT environment. With Azure Databricks, we moved from
60% accuracy to 94% accuracy on detecting equipment failures. Using
Azure Databricks has opened the flood gates to all kinds of new use
cases and innovations. In our previous process, 15 devices, which
created 2 million records, took 6 hours to process. With Azure
Databricks, we are able to process 25,000 devices – 10 billion records –
in under 14 minutes.”
Lennox International is a global leader in the heating, air
conditioning, and refrigeration markets.
