AWS for Industries

Grid simulations power various applications in the utility engineering value chain, from planning to operations. Driven by decarbonization, decentralization and digitization goals, utilities need these model-based simulations to be more detailed, accurate and faster than ever, while leveraging an increasing number of high-resolution grid measurements. This blog introduces some of the challenges associated with data-informed, […]

Replique, a venture of chemical company BASF’s business incubator Chemovator, uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide a fully encrypted digital inventory solution for on-demand manufacturing and shipping of spare parts. Comprising the whole process, Replique’s turnkey solution provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) the benefits of cost reduction, unlimited global availability of spare parts, and […]

In this blog post, we experiment with the Bitcoin Blockchain on AWS and demonstrate how to set up a Bitcoin Node on AWS that can be used to send and receive bitcoin from an external wallet. Before we start with the technical setup, let’s go over the potential of this technology. The history and opportunity […]

A guest blog by Tim McLaughlin, CEO of GoTab Inc. If the COVID-19 pandemic has proven anything, it is that the hospitality industry has to embrace technology to move forward, especially during challenging times. As restaurant, bar, brewery, winery, and entertainment venue operators discovered 2 years ago, operations can be severely disrupted by external factors […]

DISH Network is deploying the first stand-alone, cloud-native, autonomous 5G network. The company envisions a complete cloud-native 5G network with all its functions, except minimal components of the Radio Access Network (RAN), running in the cloud with fully automated network deployment and operations. In this blog post, we describe DISH’s approach to building a scalable […]

Near-real-time 3D simulation has become an essential tool in the development of robots and autonomous vehicles. As an augmentation to real-world testing, simulation helps developers to test the sensing capability and behavior of their systems against a wider range of potential real-world scenarios. To test with confidence, developers and scientists want to generate the widest […]

A highlight of my chosen profession is the opportunity to exchange experiences, perspectives, observations, and ideas with colleagues who are equally as passionate about the restaurant and food service industry. One such recent opportunity saw me join Joe Jensen, Vice President of the Internet of Things (IoT) Group and General Manager of Retail, Banking, Hospitality, […]

Introduction Workbench testing is a key step in the manufacturing of semiconductor chips. Testing consists of sending electrical signals to semiconductor devices and comparing output signals to expected values. It is essential to ensure that the produced devices work according to specifications. Workbench testing is also time consuming and costly, so we do not want […]

The high cost of grid failure When electricity goes out, our life activities stop. When this happens, utilities have the responsibility to quickly triage the situation, then formulate and carry out a response while customers are inconvenienced. Danger rises and costs pile up. Keeping the power on is not a simple task without multiple core […]

Today, AWS for Genomics announces the addition of miniWDL as a workflow engine in Amazon Genomics CLI, an open source tool that makes it easier to run genomics workflows at-scale by automating the deployment of workflow engines and compute clusters. MiniWDL is a lightweight engine for running Workflow Definition Language (WDL) based workflows developed by […]
