Why R&D Data Belongs in the Lakehouse - and Why Agents Need It There
Cellcentric moves R&D data into a lakehouse to enable AI agents to access it
Cellcentric, a Daimler Truck and Volvo Group joint venture, is adopting Databricks lakehouse architecture to centralize R&D data for AI agent access. The piece is a vendor case study arguing that agentic workflows require structured, centralized data platforms rather than siloed R&D repositories. This is a practitioner-level engineering pattern relevant to enterprise AI adoption but not a major industry signal.
