The dependence on connectivity and the fear of outages appear to be the most common reasons for this slow adoption of cloud technology in and around factories. The use cases where cloud technology is used the right show however real benefits!
Especially the ability to offload heavy workloads that run in the background to a cloud environment offers significant cost and energy reductions, and a very important decrease of upfront investments and IT maintenance costs. Machine Learning adds another layer of cloudcomputing possibilities that allows Manufacturing to learn and improve with unprecedented pace and impact. These examples show that Industrial Cloud is feasible and create valuable improvements. With AWS Cloud WAN, AWS ups the ante even further by creating a fully manageable and secure integration platform for network and AWS building blocks.
AWS re:Invent 2021 provided several examples of use cases where Digital Transformation drives process improvements and waste reduction in Manufacturing and Industrial environments. Learn more with these AWS use cases for Manufacturing and Industrial Cloud, and the interviews with Jan Metzner, AWS Specialist Solutions Architect Manufacturing.
AWS Manufacturing and Industrial Cloud
AWS offers a growing portfolio of cloudcomputing solutions for manufacturing and industrial environments. With the right choices and mindset, Industrial Cloud is feasible without trying to solve factory challenges with office solutions.
