In the IoT world at Toyota, data is abundant – but turning it into actionable value requires more than just storage and pipelines. This session explores the journey of designing and delivering a data lakehouse that meets technical requirements and drives meaningful outcomes for data consumers. Learn how to pilot quickly, pivot intelligently, and perform consistently by aligning architecture with real consumer needs. We’ll discuss how to avoid building for technology’s sake and instead focus on solutions that deliver insights, enable decisions, and scale with purpose. Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing platform, this session offers practical guidance on building the right thing – and building it right.

Takeaways

• Deliver Business Value: How a well-architected IoT lakehouse unlocks real-time insights, reduces silos, and drives measurable outcomes
• KDD is Critical: Key Decision Document (KDD) documentation is essential for stakeholder alignment, accelerated development, and long-term governance
• Close the Feedback Loop: How continuous iteration and user feedback refine architecture, improve data quality, and adapt to evolving needs
• Use Your Own Data: Embrace a “dogfooding” mindset – using your own IoT data to test, validate, and improve your Lakehouse before scaling
