Manufacturing

Today’s Manufacturers face several foundational challenges preventing AI success:

  • Disconnected engineering, ERP, MES, quality, and production systems
  • Legacy infrastructure and technical debt
  • Limited visibility across plants and operations
  • Data silos preventing AI and analytics adoption
  • Lack of an AI-ready platform foundation

Key Use Cases

Migrate to a Governed Azure Platform to Enable AI-Driven R&D:

re-platform CAD/PLM/ simulation onto an Azure landing zone

Extend the Cloud Platform to the Plant Floor to Enable Physical AI:

Azure IoT + Microsoft Fabric connecting MES/SCADA/IoT

Deploy a Secure Identity & Access Platform to Enable AI-Powered Worker Guidance:

Microsoft Entra ID + Azure security services.

Teton Cloud Case Study: Manufacturing

Client Problem:

A leading global automotive technology manufacturer wanted to leverage AI to take people-driven costs out of its business, but its applications ran on an aging estate across 22+ global sites, including 17 manufacturing locations. When a Microsoft EA renewal, a flat CapEx mandate, and rising Broadcom/VMware licensing costs converged, leadership used the moment to assess the estate and build a foundation for AI.

SOLUTION

Teton Cloud scanned the client’s full digital estate, mapping roughly 108 applications and replacing a 4-5 year old inventory. The team quantified the financial and security case for Azure, mapped where 100+ AI agents could cut manual work, and is now modernizing the estate and building the first AI agent proof-of-concepts.

IMPACT

The organization turned a licensing renewal into an AI readiness roadmap, with a plan to modernize while keeping latency-sensitive manufacturing workloads on-premises. With that roadmap in motion, the company is on the path to 100+ AI agents that automate manual processes and drive business efficiencies.

RESULTS
  • ~108 applications mapped across 22+ global sites
  • 100+ AI agents targeted, with the first proof-of-concepts underway
  • ~68% potential reduction in annual run costs, from $2.9M to $919K
  • ~300 powered-down and zombie servers flagged for immediate decommission
  • Security and governance gaps identified, including a 3.6/10 landing zone score vs. Microsoft CAF
