Hitachi Vantara Forms Strategic Alliance With Disney Parks
Hitachi Vantara said it has formed a strategic alliance with Disney Parks, Experiences and Products that will give Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California access to the company's industrial IoT solutions to improve operational efficiency.
The company said Disney will rely on Hitachi Vantara's Lumada data management, analytics and IoT software to collect and analyze data to derive real-time insight on how their parks work, using solutions like predictive analytics and digital twins to help Disney optimize operations.
Hitachi Vantara's solutions have already been deployed across the Toy Story Land attractions Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania and Alien Swirling Saucers at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
"Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort have delighted their guests with one-of-a-kind experiences for decades," Brian Householder, CEO of Hitachi Vantara, said in a statement. "We are thrilled to work with Disney to provide intelligent, data-driven solutions that allow Disney to continue its legacy of delivering immersive experiences with increased operational efficiency."
