In modern manufacturing, the ability to quickly access critical information and use the expertise of experienced operators is essential for maintaining high productivity and quality, as well as minimizing costly machine downtime. However, as skilled workers retire or move on and the workforce landscape changes, manufacturers often face the challenge of preserving institutional knowledge and […]

Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are set to transform the landscape of product transparency, regulatory compliance, and supply chain sustainability—yet organizations face challenges integrating data, verifying information, and adapting to evolving rules. In this post, we explore how we see AWS customers address the topic of DPPs and the role agentic AI plays in automating and […]

Smart product manufacturers are at a critical transformation point. With Gartner predicting that 80% of AI models will be industry-specific by 2027, and their recent analysis showing that AI-enabling cloud services are the future of cloud infrastructure, companies can no longer rely solely on traditional hardware sales to maintain competitive advantage. The shift toward digital […]

For most manufacturers today, quality control of manufactured products often relies on workers manually visually inspecting the product(s), introducing inconsistency and increasing labor costs. Automated machine learning (ML) and computer vision (CV) solutions require extensive training data as well as continuous fine-tuning, which creates adoption barriers especially for small and medium-sized manufacturers. This blog post […]

AI has the potential to transform every supply chain process. While existing technologies such as predictive analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning (ML) have improved supply chain efficiency and visibility, organizations still face significant challenges. Today’s supply chain practitioners must navigate complex scenarios ranging from geo-political tensions to natural disasters, while managing data […]
