Auto manufacturer BMW is deploying its Big Data & Analytics technology to optimize products, repairs and maintenance, says IBM. The analyses include product and development data as well as warranty, diagnostics, and repair information that is gathered and evaluated worldwide.
The IBM SPSS predictive analytics software helps to combine and analyze data from, for instance, numerous test drives of prototypes, an average of 15,000 faults recorded by vehicles, and details from recent workshop reports. Approximately 250 of these analytics applications are available, enabling more than 500 users from BMW to perform their own analyses.
