Johnson Controls and Microsoft Announce Global Collaboration
Companies launch integration between OpenBlue digital twin and Azure digital twins
CORK, Ireland, and REDMOND, Wash. — Johnson Controls and Microsoft Corp. announced a global collaboration. The companies launched an integration between OpenBlue digital twin and Azure digital twins.
“Our partnership with Microsoft is a vital ingredient in our innovation strategy, as the company shares our vision of using technology to transform the environments where people live, work, learn, and play,” said Mike Ellis, vice president and chief digital and customer officer at Johnson Controls. “Digital twins are playing an increasingly important role in the design, construction, and ongoing operation of healthy buildings and spaces, and can be particularly valuable when analyzing large datasets and predicting patterns and trends to tell our customers things they don’t yet know. Our OpenBlue digital platform, closely connected with Microsoft’s platform and workplace technologies, represents an unbeatable opportunity to help our customers make shared spaces safer, more agile, and more sustainable.”
