“We really need to kick the carbon habit and stop making our energy from burning things. Climate change is also really important. You can wreck one rainforest then move, drain one area of resources and move onto another, but climate change is global.” —Sir David Attenborough Greenhouse gases that are already present in the atmosphere […]

Manufacturing companies continue to digitally transform their operations by analyzing terabytes of data from their connected industrial equipment on the shopfloor with the ultimate goal of creating smarter, safer, and more efficient factories. At re:Invent 2023, AWS launched the preview availability of the AWS IoT SiteWise Edge on Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace. Now, customers can […]

In today’s complex industrial landscape, manufacturers are under immense pressure to reduce energy costs, meet stringent environmental regulations, improve production performance, and optimize operations at scale. Despite increased investments in digital transformation initiatives to achieve these goals, manufacturers face significant challenges in scaling solutions from pilots to production across different use cases, production lines, and […]

Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools are critical for designing silicon chips. In the cloud, pay-per-use mechanisms are the norm, but this traditionally isn’t the case for EDA licensing which can limit organizations’ ability to scale EDA on AWS. Synopsys Cloud Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) with FlexEDA is a groundbreaking solution that addresses this need. […]

Assembling complex products with speed and precision is critical, yet extremely challenging, for contract manufacturers. While these companies play an integral role in the manufacturing value chain across industries from electronics to healthcare, their assemblers face disconnected data and tight deadlines that lead to delays and costly errors. But what if assemblers could instantly access […]
