ORIS is a digital material platform running on AWS that enables road professionals and road authorities to make data-driven decisions for more sustainable roads. ORIS insights can help reduce the carbon emissions of road construction by up to 50%, so that more communities can benefit from new roadways at a lower environmental cost. The platform […]

Digital twins are used across the whole manufacturing lifecycle, from designing and planning to monitoring facilities. A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical object. It uses real-time data to simulate the behavior of the object. Digital twins can replicate many real-world items, from single pieces of equipment in a factory to full […]

Contributed by Authors: Lidia Fonseca, Chief Digital and Technology Officer of Pfizer, and Dan Sheeran, General Manager of Healthcare and Life Sciences at AWS. Pfizer applies its scientific expertise and global resources to bring vaccines and therapies to people that extend and significantly improve their lives. Last year, Pfizer treated 1.3 billion patients – that’s […]

Factory or intralogistics automation, which can include assembly stations, sortation stations, robots, and conveyors, are programmed and operated by their respective native controllers or programmable logic controllers (PLCs). These controllers execute programs to control physical equipment to accomplish a task—for example, painting a car with the specified color or sorting an item by its barcode […]

When was the last time you thought about how the power stays on? Probably not since you lost power in a storm. We take it for granted that the electricity and natural gas will flow. In today’s world, electricity and gas are a core foundation of the economy and of society, making energy one of […]

In the rapidly evolving field of IoT in manufacturing and transportation domains, machine learning features create significant value. By utilizing machine learning at the edge, manufacturers can gather insights faster, identify trends, identify patterns, and detect anomalies, all resulting in enhanced security and safety and cost savings. Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service that […]

Data is the key enabler to digital transformation. Retailers combine data to get a single view of customers to build better experiences and reduce acquisition costs, financial institutions use data to manage risks and personalize offerings, and manufacturers connect to data in production systems to lower unit costs or reduce quality issues. Across all those […]

Manufacturing semiconductor devices using advanced nodes have many challenges, but perhaps none is more directly linked to the company’s profitability and competitive position than yield. Yield improvements directly reduce the cost of manufacturing a single die while also helping the company amortize the development costs across more dies. There are great commercial products helping customers […]

Introduction With the successful use of cloud computing in the IT space (analytics, simulation and workflow management), companies in highly regulated industries, such as railways, increasingly look at also migrating their OT systems (control systems, real-time monitoring, and transaction management) into the cloud. The main motivations for this are to achieve high availability and redundancy […]

Introduction Semiconductor chips have become an indispensable part of our lives with the advancements driven by technologies like 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning (ML). Semiconductor chips power a broad range of devices, including consumer devices, automobiles, smart cities and homes, data centers, and more. The increased demand for […]
