ArcelorMittal on Monday said it has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to automate its global operations through the US tech major's cloud and AI capabilities. The collaboration brings AWS cloud and AI capabilities directly to ArcelorMittal's manufacturing processes, providing opportunities for further optimisation and improvement of safety, asset reliability and energy efficiency. The company will converge some of its operational technology and information technology on AWS infrastructure, designed for security and scale, extending cloud and AI to the edge of its production environments. Using AWS services across industrial IoT, real-time sensor data and machine learning, the company will deploy AI at the point of production, enabling predictive maintenance, computer-vision quality control, process optimisation and digital twins of its physical assets and production lines. AWS will also design and deliver a comprehensive education programme for ArcelorMittal's global workforce.
