Manufacturers are adopting cloud solutions such as digital twins to gain new insights with existing data, improve collaboration, increase automation, gain detailed insights to reduce CO2 emissions, and increase efficiencies across product design. Learn how aPriori’s Manufacturing Insights Platform hosted on AWS provides an end-to-end digital twin solution empowering manufacturers to unlock and identify new opportunities rapidly for innovation, growth, cost savings, and sustainability.

One of the most rigorous activities in the aviation industry is the aircraft’s operational maintenance. It’s a complex analytical task that’s often performed manually. Learn how Capgemini developed a solution called Lifecycle Optimization for Aerospace which aims to accelerate adoption of circular economy practices within the aviation industry. Built on AWS, it analyzes parts documentation and inspection processes, allowing optimization of its lifecycle by turning unstructured usage data into digital assets.

TCS Mobility Suite Smart Validation powered by AWS enables sustainable, end-to-end simulation-based validation for automated driving systems. IT allows for testing of autonomous vehicles in a low-cost, risk-free manner while helping improve the quality of the software as well as accelerating time to market. Smart Validation is able to remove billions of redundant test cases, reducing them to hundreds and saving computational resources and prioritizing the testing of edge cases.

As the world grows, concerns over pollution and climate change are forcing businesses to redesign how they produce and use energy. A notable approach for achieving this objective is through informing end users of their power usage patterns. Learn how IBM’s anomaly detection solution for energy and utilities helps companies increase energy efficiency leveraging a personalized AI paradigm and to calculate ESG metrics related to energy consumption.

Totogi is an AWS Partner that provides a Charging-as-a-Service platform that benefits from deployment on AWS and helps customers reduce the electricity used for their online charging system. In this post, we’ll compare the Totogi charging platform’s energy and carbon-emissions efficiency to traditional charging platforms, and investigate architectural patterns that telcos and other businesses can replicate to reduce their carbon footprint.

The global shift towards clean energy has led to increased demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. This, in turn, has put the spotlight on the environmental and social impact of battery production and procurement. Amplo Global developed an artificial intelligence-led platform leveraging AWS to provide an end-to-end traceability in the production of EV batteries through ESG risk assessment capability. The platform enables businesses to create a transparent and resilient supply chain less prone to disruption.

Snowflake aspires to be a leader in environmental sustainability, and its goal is to provide the best data cloud with the lowest carbon footprint on the planet. Learn how Snowflake reduced its carbon emissions footprint and improved performance efficiency by transitioning virtual warehouses to AWS Graviton-based instance types. This enabled Snowflake to reduce the carbon intensity of workloads, so it can meet customer demand sustainably even as compute requirements continue to grow.

Organizations realize they will need to understand their carbon footprint across the whole supply chain of their products and services to improve energy efficiency. This post introduces you to the Contino Sustainability Dashboard, a new open-source tool that helps customers visualize and identify opportunities to make decisions that will optimize the efficiency of their resource utilization and the overall carbon footprint within their AWS environment.

IBM and Amazon are both signatories of The Climate Pledge, a commitment to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040—10 years ahead of The Paris Agreement.
