Nutanix Partners with Hardis Group

Nutanix, Inc., a leader in enterprise cloud computing, has announced a partnership with Hardis Group, a consulting, digital services and software publishing company, to deliver Vision Insights powered by Xi IoT, an innovative solution to manage supply chain operations efficiency. 

In a new survey of 2,650 IT decision-makers around the world by Vanson Bourne, commissioned by Nutanix, IoT and edge computing ranked highest among other high-impact technologies and trends as having a 'significant impact' overall on respondents' businesses. In addition, AI and IoT will have a strong impact on supply chain management operations and according to Gartner 'by 2023, at least 50 per cent of large global companies will be using AI, advanced analytics and IoT in supply chain operations.'

Satyam Vaghani, Senior Vice President and General Manager of AI and IoT at Nutanix said, "historically, warehouse and supply chain managers have had to rely on manual processes to track warehouse logistics. With our joint solution, we're helping customers improve the logistics performance in their factories, including upstream and downstream of their production lines, from the moment their components and raw materials arrive on-site, to storage and shipment of finished products. Customers can now seamlessly track and control routine processes through automation and IoT to improve efficiency, traceability and safety. This partnership will bring better management of customer's logistics flows by leveraging AI, advanced analytics and IoT to improve supply chain operations."

Available now, Vision Insights powered by Xi IoT is a supply chain optimisation solution comprised of Hardis Group Vision Insights software running as a container on the Nutanix Xi IoT platform. This solution will help companies harness the potential of cognitive services (image and voice recognition), IoT, edge computing, and machine learning technologies to dramatically improve efficiency, traceability, and safety of logistics and supply chain operations in warehouses, factories and distribution centres.

By bringing this new solution to market with Hardis Group as part of its new Vision Insights and IoT Insights programs, Nutanix helps its customers address common supply chain operations challenges such as efficiency, traceability and safety. 

By partnering with Nutanix's Xi IoT platform, Hardis Group was able to focus on the business logic behind their Vision Insights program, and dramatically decrease the time to develop the application, go-to-market, onboard and prove ROI to its customers, as well as drastically improve IoT security, app debuggability and manageability.

Nicolas Odet, CEO of Hardis Group added, "when we started developing this solution in the cloud, we quickly realised we needed a partner who was able to operationalise this at industrial scale at the edge. Nutanix and its Xi IoT platform was the right partner to assist us in doing so. By working with Nutanix, we were able to drastically reduce the time this innovative solution was brought to market for our customers and help them accelerate their supply chain and digital transformation. We're excited to continue working with Nutanix to scale and deploy these solutions worldwide."
