Alfa Laval collaborates with Microsoft to develop innovative, sustainable and digital service tools

Alfa Laval has signed a global collaboration agreement with Microsoft to develop a suite of innovative digital tools for facilitating service and maintenance of Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers. By using data intelligence and AI, the services will enable customers to assess the need for service through digital interaction Alfa Laval.

The tools combine Alfa Laval’s extensive service know-how with Microsoft’s software, data and AI expertise and will enable customers to make self-assessments to determine if and what services are needed.
