ArcelorMittal has announced a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate industrial automation and digital transformation across its global operations through cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and edge technologies. ArcelorMittal will integrate AWS cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities into its manufacturing processes to improve safety, asset reliability and energy efficiency, and plans to migrate parts of its operational technology and information technology systems onto AWS infrastructure. Using AWS technologies for industrial internet of things (IoT), real-time sensor monitoring and machine learning, ArcelorMittal intends to deploy AI-driven applications including predictive maintenance systems, computer-vision technologies for quality control, process optimization tools and digital twin solutions. Additionally, Amazon has entered into a multi-year supply framework agreement with ArcelorMittal covering structural steel deliveries in Europe and the UK, under which ArcelorMittal will supply lower-carbon XCarb® steel for Amazon operational facilities and AWS data centers. The companies stated that the agreement supports Amazon’s target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
