Rolls-Royce uses AI turbine blade inspection and engine health monitoring to prevent 400 maintenance events a year

Rolls-Royce uses Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing, Azure Databricks, and generative AI across engine design, turbine production, and engine health monitoring. Its 'Signature Analyzer' AI/machine learning system inspects turbine blade cooling holes (previously about 2 million inspected manually per month), using machine vibration analysis and generative AI to optimize defect detection, boosting machine utilization 30% and accelerating fault resolution from days to near real time. AI-powered engine health monitoring tracks more than 10,000 engine parameters and detects and prevents around 400 unplanned maintenance events a year, saving millions in repair costs.

BAYADA Builds a Unified, AI-Ready Platform for Compassionate Care

BAYADA Home Health Care is consolidating three separate legacy data platforms (multiple practice management systems, an on-prem ODS, and Snowflake) and 65+ enterprise data sources into a single Databricks Lakehouse under its Data Modernization program, using medallion tiers, Lakeflow Jobs, Asset Bundles, and Unity Catalog governance. As part of the migration, BAYADA uses an LLM-powered code converter and Databricks Assistant to automate SQL and stored-procedure translation, and applies a machine learning-based data mastering accelerator to create golden Client, Payor, Candidate, and Referrer records. BAYADA reports roughly 30% better workload performance and cost efficiency versus its prior Snowflake environment, and is laying a governed foundation for AI agents supporting payroll validation, compliance monitoring, and operational insights, separately from its roadmap for AI-assisted chart review and risk prediction.

Turning 700T Customer Signals into Media Intelligence

MiQ, a global programmatic media partner, built Sigma, an advertising platform on the Databricks Data + AI Platform, to unify more than 700 trillion fragmented customer signals across watching, browsing and buying activity into a single governed intelligence layer. Data flows through a medallion architecture on Delta Lake with Unity Catalog governance, and Databricks SQL serves dashboards, Genie Spaces and agent queries. MiQ built a Planning Agent using two Genie spaces (unified consumer signals and historical campaign data) plus Vector Search to translate natural-language audience descriptions into activation segments, letting non-technical marketers go from audience discovery to media plan recommendations in minutes instead of days. Sigma has powered over 40,000 campaigns for more than 2,300 advertisers since launch, with campaigns returning 2.2x the ROI of standard programmatic campaigns; campaign planning and analysis that once took 6+ hours now takes roughly 5 minutes, and AI-assisted optimization workflows cut storage needs by 50%.

From Data Chaos to a Trust Score for Every Table

Databricks' own internal Data Platform team rebuilt data governance across its internal lakehouse of more than 100,000 tables spanning engineering, go-to-market, HR, finance and product telemetry, using Unity Catalog to move from inconsistent, team-by-team access patterns to automatic, measurable governance. The team built a universal classification model tagging every table by sensitivity and domain, an internal system called Fortress enforcing purpose-bound, time-limited access via Unity Catalog's security APIs, and a continuous Data Governance Score (0-100) per dataset covering documentation, reliability and governance, propagated automatically through data lineage. The resulting governance layer now underpins AI agents used across every function at Databricks, from engineering to finance to facilities, letting teams check a dataset's governance score before using it to train a model instead of running manual reviews.

Independer cuts feature delivery 50% with Lakebase

Independer, the largest independent comparison platform in the Netherlands, used Databricks Lakebase to eliminate the export bottleneck between its Customer 360 data platform (built on Databricks and Unity Catalog) and the production APIs serving its website, customer service tools, and internal analytics. Because customer data had been fragmented across legacy on-premises systems, engineers previously had to write export scripts and load a separate SQL Server instance before building new features. By synchronizing gold tables directly with consuming services via Lakebase (built on PostgreSQL), Independer cut development work for new Customer 360 features by 50% and is now building GenAI agent proof-of-concepts that store state in Lakebase.
