Factories have used robots to drive operational efficiency since the 1990s, but the real revolution is just beginning. Today’s new breed of devices connect to the cloud, to their operators, and to one another, using powerful machine-learning
The “Industrial Edge”
enables a new paradigm for how things are made—the smart factory
When performance is paramount, companies want cloud services on-site. But managing a proprietary on-premises system is both expensive and inefficient, due to the frequent upgrade cycle and custom, one-off software solutions. The AWS Outposts Family is a fully managed solution that delivers AWS infrastructure and services to virtually any on-premises or edge location, using the same AWS software, control plane, and management tools your teams are already familiar with.
Data generated by modern factories is
often worth as much as the products they make. Running all operations within the four walls of the factory using AWS Outposts and Private 5G networks means data is processed on-site and never leaves the premises. Plus, services such as AWS Systems Manager and AWS IoT Device Defender build in security from the ground up, at the very edges of the network.
Built-in security
Bringing the cloud
inside your walls
Many modern applications, including customer analytics, Industrial IoT, and VR, are designed around continuous connection and low latency, but not every business has room for an on-premises system, especially in major metropolitan areas. More than 15 cities in North America—and a growing number around the world—are now home to AWS Local Zones, a type of cloud infrastructure that puts the power of AWS close to a metro area, enabling everything from latency for cloud migrations to low-latency remote workstations.
Meeting users
where they are
Many industrial operations now rely
on autonomous robots that move about the factory floor. With real-time AI- and ML-boosted route planning and traffic control, these AGV robots can move as quickly as 10 feet per second while passing less than an
inch apart. Achieving this safely requires extreme low-latency communications, with each robot checking in as many as 10 times per second over 5G, and lightning-fast on-site processing on AWS Outposts.
Robotic fleet coordination
Telecom and cloud computing are becoming increasingly intertwined: the former provides the connectivity while the latter brings the data services, storage, and tools. AWS Wavelength goes one step further, bringing AWS services directly to 5G networks, enabling low latency for people on
the go. This enables emerging applications for anything from autonomous vehicles to high-speed gaming.

Five ways hybrid cloud and edge computing can help your company
Moving the cloud closer to your data and customers has never been simpler, thanks to an ever-growing array of hybrid cloud and edge services. They allow businesses to easily outsource their tech infrastructure while keeping incredible, low-latency compute performance and complying with data-residency requirements. Here are five ways AWS hybrid cloud and edge computing are redefining what it means to be a 21st-century company.
With versatile hybrid cloud and edge solutions, businesses can now access the cloud from anywhere, giving them the flexibility they need to compete, innovate, and transform
Smart devices across retail, shipping, and manufacturing generate a wealth of potentially useful data, but it takes intelligent IoT infrastructure to make sense of it. AWS’s wide array of interconnected IoT services maximizes the usefulness of these resources, as data from thousands of sources—from temperature and location data to maintenance alerts and machine vision—is gathered, processed, and analyzed in the cloud, adding actionable intelligence to the entire enterprise.
Getting smarter with IoT
For places where internet connectivity is unreliable or impossible—deserts, rainforests, cruise ships—AWS developed the Snow Family. This rugged suite of services ranges from a five-pound device that fits in a backpack to a datacenter on wheels that is housed in a shipping container and hauled by a semi-truck. Now you can get powerful compute and storage, backed up by AWS’s encryption, management, and monitoring literally anywhere in the world—from the bottom of the ocean to the vastness of space.
