As technology grows in sophistication, so do Disney attractions, often generating huge volumes of data daily. The challenge is how best to use that data – to anticipate maintenance needs, optimize guest experiences through enhanced operational efficiency and lower costs. 

Data-Driven Insights 
Different Disney attractions use different electromechanical, industry control, and drive systems. These include tens of thousands of IIoT sensors whose data outputs need to be consumed and analyzed, all in the same place. Any new solution has to offer an open ecosystem, which makes the Hitachi Vantara Industrial IoT portfolio a perfect fit.

Lumada Helps Disney Deliver Great Guest Experiences
The team at Disney relies on Hitachi’s Lumada for IoT, data management, and analytics. Its potential to provide high-value operational insights in real time, along with the flexibility and openness of the platform were all deciding factors. With Lumada, they can address needs before operations are impacted, facilitate maintenance, and ensure that attractions are running efficiently.

“Working with Hitachi Vantara and its portfolio of technologies, we’re able to incorporate new solutions that will not only work for us today, but also grow with us tomorrow as we continue to deliver amazing experiences and adventures for our guests,” said Michael Tschanz , Director of Technology and Analysis, Design and Engineering, Disney Parks Experiences and Products.
