REDMOND (Alliance News) - US technology giant Microsoft Corp and UK-based engineer Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC announced they are collaborating to bring new capabilities to Rolls-Royce customers.
Rolls-Royce will integrate Microsoft Azure IoT Suite and Cortana Intelligence Suite into its service solutions to expand its digital capabilities to support the current and next generation of Rolls-Royce intelligent engines.
With this collaboration, engine management will move beyond the current levels of proactive monitoring of engine health and inflight performance.
Through a greater understanding of flight operations excellence, fuel usage and maintenance planning, Rolls-Royce's airline customers will be able to better retain asset value throughout an engine's life cycle, reduce flight disruptions and potentially save millions of dollars per year.
