Bring the cloud to your factory floor
Streamline your operations and increase your efficiency by running Azure services at the edge from the factory floor, in the cloud, or in on-premises environments—without needing to connect to the internet.
Get immediate intelligence
Help ensure quality control and prevent product damage by monitoring for defects in real time directly on the production line with the intelligence, security, scale, and performance of Azure.
Reduce manufacturing app costs
Lower the costs of intelligent manufacturing app development and moving massive industrial data volumes to the cloud. Also, alleviate network traffic by processing data right on the factory floor.
Accelerate in-store and online retail innovation
Reimagine retail by maximizing on-shelf availability and reducing shrinkage by extending Azure capabilities to the environment of your choice.
Create unforgettable experiences
Increase customer satisfaction by using intelligent data to run your business more efficiently. Get deeper insights into footfall, dwell time, and promotional placements at your physical stores.
Maximize on-shelf availability
