Introduction Keeping wind turbines operational also means keeping them well maintained. One of the steps in maintenance is regular visual inspection. Wind farm operation and maintenance companies started to utilize drones with attached cameras to perform visual inspections. According to a recent study, drone-based inspection reduces costs by up to 70% and decreases revenue lost […]

Historians have traced our practice of using the wind to power machines all the way back to first-century Alexandria. Since then, windmills have been helping people all over the world to get work done—from grinding corn and flour to pumping water. And we’ve been using wind turbines for generating electricity for over 130 years. Just […]

To remain competitive, industrial customers need to digitally transform to maximize productivity and asset availability, and to lower costs. To do this, these companies aim to liberate data from legacy operational technology (OT) systems and leverage new tools in the cloud—like machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)—to glean new insights from their data. With […]

This is part 2 of our blog series on transforming production operations. Part 1 of this series on our anchor customer bpx energy implementation can be found here. The global energy industry is undergoing a fundamental transition to net-zero energy systems and sustainable practices. Simultaneously, upstream energy companies are high-grading their portfolios and optimizing performance […]

Customers in the energy industry spend millions of hours collaborating internally and across the organization with external partners such as Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors over the life of a capital project. The key pain points faced by customers include collating comments, inefficient routing of information, ineffective search, traceability, and auditability. AWS has developed […]

AWS Industrial Insights Welcome to AWS Industrial Insights. In every episode, we interview visionary leaders from industrial companies to share their insights on technology, innovation, and leadership. This podcast is for industrial business leaders who are looking to make data-driven decisions and learn from those who’ve experienced similar challenges.

At long last, the ability to innovate subsurface workflows, eliminate data silos, and dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of subsurface teams is becoming a reality. Enabling novel analytical approaches that reduce workload friction requires standardizing data in ways that have never been done before. The Mercury Release of the OSDU™ Data Platform is the […]

Introduction This blog explains Authentication and Authorization, and how it enables users to use the OSDU Entitlements API to authorize the Service/Data access to the OSDU Platform. Together, these steps enable users to securely access their subsurface data in their AWS implementation of OSDU™ Data Platform environment. This is the third blog post in a […]

Utility companies depend on enormous amounts of data to keep the lights on for their customers. But collecting, transcribing, storing, sharing, and analyzing information from a large service area is a challenge, especially when the teams who gather and use that data are dispersed across a wide geographic area. Whether they’re conducting vegetation management, pole […]

Overview There’s a global race underway to bring machine learning (ML) techniques to knowledge workers across every industry that extracts insights from data. Oil and gas is no exception. Many exploration and production (E&P) operators and service companies are exploring the technology to help illuminate patterns in seismic data where fuzzy pattern recognition is at […]
