Palantir Technologies Inc. and WesTrac announced a partnership to deploy Palantir Foundry across WesTrac's servicing and rebuild operations centres in Perth, Western Australia. The agreement further expands Palantir's work in the Australian industrial sector, adding to its long-term flagship partnership with Rio Tinto. Palantir's Foundry operating system, designed to leverage data for better decision-making across organizations of all sizes, will be used to drive digital transformation and help improve performance at WesTrac workshops, including by reducing work order delays and increasing work order velocity.

WesTrac and Palantir first began collaboration in 2021, and the current formal agreement will eventually expand to include WesTrac workshops in New South Wales. The use of Palantir's technology will help improve visibility of scheduled work, expand WesTrac's digital twin, improve data discovery across multiple data sources and scale solutions to be delivered across multiple WesTrac workshops. Foundry allows for the integration of siloed data sources into a common operating picture and bridges the full spectrum of data operations.

At WesTrac, the technology will for example allow it to anticipate workshop bottlenecks, improve labour allocation, and provide possible solutions or recommendations.
