Techfab Industries transformed its manufacturing operations from fragmented data and delayed reporting into a connected, data-driven and AI-ready operating model using Microsoft Cloud.
Key outcome:
Decision time reduced from ~1 week → ~2 days
The Challenge:
Manufacturing complexity was slowing critical decisions
- Techfab faced multiple operational bottlenecks:
- Project and RFP information coming from multiple portals in semi-structured formats
- Heavy reliance on Excel, email, and manual consolidation
- No single view of key decision data
- Approval workflows dependent on email
- Limited visibility across teams and locations
Result: Delayed decisions, reduced agility and slower response to opportunities
The Solution:
Manufacturing Digital Nervous System (MDNS)
TechGyan implemented a Microsoft-powered MDNS framework to connect data, workflows and decision-making.
Key Components:
- Microsoft Fabric → Unified data across sources
- Power BI → Real-time dashboards and visibility
- Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint) → Structured workflows
- Azure → Scalable and resilient infrastructure
- Microsoft Copilot → AI-assisted insights
- Security Stack (Defender, Entra, Purview) → Governance and protection
What Changed
- Disconnected data → single source of truth
- Email-driven coordination → structured workflows
- Static reporting → real-time dashboards
- Manual analysis → AI-supported insights
BUSINESS IMPACT: Measurable results delivered
