Solution Story
Integration of Dynatrace
For over four years, Skoda Auto has been using the Dynatrace observability platform, gradually connecting both internal and external applications utilized by their customers and suppliers. Currently, five applications are connected, with four running in the cloud and one on-premises. The applications and the entire IT ecosystem of the automaker require a range of innovative technologies for smooth operation, both online and offline, on-premises, and in the cloud. This necessitates the adaptation of their monitoring and observability.
Among the most interesting applications monitored by Dynatrace at Skoda Auto are:
- The employee portal Skoda Space, built on Linux
- The manufacturing application Magic Eye, which uses neural networks to monitor the wear and tear of the production line for parts/bodies
- An offline solution for dealers that monitors user response times when using tablets
