A Pirelli-supported team smashed the outright circuit lap record at the Australian GT Championship at Winton. “We’re very happy with the pace of the Pirelli,” Maranello Motorsport engineer Pat Cahill commented post-event. “Jonny Reid hadn’t driven on the Pirelli before, and he was impressed with the pace and consistency of the tire.”
Let’s take it to the highest level: FORMULA ONE racing have the fastest on Earth – cars with speeds up to 220 mph with frequent hairpin turns, often on slick tracks. Milan-based Pirelli – exclusive tire supplier to FORMULA ONE racing through 2013 – uses TIBCO technology to circulate essential, real-time race data to FORMULA ONE Management (FOM) and FORMULA ONE teams.
Pirelli Decides to Speed Things Up With TIBCO Technology
With TIBCO, Pirelli became faster and more accurate in collecting, sorting, analyzing, and reporting key performance indicators (KPIs). Data processes that once consumed 90 days, now through integration, take just 30 minutes to generate the latest KPIs on business units and individual products. With these real-time indicators now readily available enterprise-wide, decision makers not only see Pirelli more clearly – they manage it more skillfully.
Pirelli’s reliance on TIBCO’s real-time data backbone doesn’t stop at the FORMULA ONE circuit; it extends to the marketplace, where competitive pressures are equally intense. In the case of Pirelli, “21st-century efficiencies” mean integrating a global network of some 10,000 distributors and retailers. Every time Pirelli integrates a distributor into the system, the company boosts profitable growth.
TIBCO integration made Pirelli more profitable by balancing inventories to ensure that each time a customer enters a store, the right tires are in stock – no more, no less. With TIBCO-powered integration, Pirelli gathers optimized results on the race track, generates new profit, and optimizes work processes and information flow to reduce total costs of ownership for its distributors.
