KION Group is using the vastly improved analytic capabilities made possible by Dremio across a wide range of operations — including product analyses, warranty cases, and merchandise management data — after initially identifying 30 operational use cases.
KION Group, Europe’s largest manufacturer of forklift and warehouse trucks, has deployed the Dremio data lakehouse solution to extract actionable intelligence from vast, siloed data sets, and to accelerate decision making.
KION Group employees can now interrogate more than 200 million data records to receive responses to queries in just three seconds, compared to the 30 minutes the task would have taken prior to Dremio going live.

With real-time data, problems and their causes are identified in a timely manner.
KION Group has more than 1.7 million forklift trucks and warehouse trucks in use at customers across over 100 countries on six continents.
