One of the biggest barriers in the software-defined product journey is the transition to new ways of working. But consumer demand for software-defined products means companies in disparate industries, such as manufacturing, telco, and healthcare, have to make the decision to shift left. In the latest episode, hear how gen AI can make the evolution to DevSecOps easier by boosting overall productivity, providing task automation, and generating entirely new code. We also highlight new gen AI demo features available from AWS Technology Partner Wind River and AWS. You can get first-hand experience with the new features at the AWS Prototyping and Innovation Lab in Santa Clara.

In manufacturing, every plant is unique, which is why there’s no universal solution to solve the data silo problem that’s blocking smart manufacturing initiatives. But there is a new path to Industry 4.0. AWS manufacturing customers are seeing success enterprise-wide with Industrial Data Fabric (IDF) solutions that are tailored to meet specific environments. IDF solutions address ingesting, storing, and contextualizing disparate datasets to provide needed insights. Listen to the podcast and learn how Industrial Data Fabric can be the mechanism to deploy an enterprise-wide data strategy and lay a foundation to leverage generative artificial intelligence.

Autonomous mobility continues to expand its relevance beyond the automotive industry into other verticals, like agriculture and mining, because autonomously managing devices can enhance people's safety, boost efficiency, and reduce costs. Today, the requirements for delivering autonomous mobility are better understood, but challenges persist and evolve, such as increasing data volume, toolchain complexity, and pressures related to cost and time-to-market. In this episode, Ashika Schroll, Autonomous Mobility Partner Strategy Lead, shares best practices and the latest solutions that are helping customers realize their autonomous vision.

Chemical manufacturers are facing new challenges and costs associated with energy prices, supply chain issues, and sustainability regulations. Digitizing operations and migrating applications to the cloud are helping chemical manufacturers solve these challenges. For example, digitizing operations provides actionable data insights into energy consumption, allowing manufacturers to reduce usage and or select more renewable sources. It also creates new process efficiencies as data becomes centralized and readily available. And customers are getting these benefits while saving 20% in IT costs, on average. Listen to the podcast and learn how AWS is helping chemical manufacturers get new visibility and control over their environment, while providing a foundation for strategic innovation.

The latest connected mobility use cases are helping auto companies realize value and achieve business goals in new ways. Safety and convenience use cases are still top priorities for companies and consumers, and technology is fueling new capabilities, such as maintaining a 360 degree view of a parked vehicle. What’s more, emerging use cases, supported by artificial intelligence, will shape the purchasing experience and general vehicle operations. Meanwhile, the underlying foundation for better, more relevant offerings is data, which means developing and maintaining a data strategy is critical. Listen to the podcast to hear about connected mobility trends, best practice strategies, and purpose-built solutions for accelerating delivery.

By digitizing operations with a manufacturing execution system (MES), organizations can save costs while gaining new visibility into processes and KPIs. According to Aberdeen Strategy and Research, implementing an MES offers 2X total cost per unit improvement and a 6% increase in overall equipment effectiveness. What’s more, a cloud-based MES can further reduce costs, by lowering deployment and maintenance overhead. Listen to the podcast to hear from Darpan Parikh, Head of Composable Operations Solutions, and Magnus Akesson, Head of Manufacturing Solutions. They share specific MES best practices for any manufacturing organization, whether interested in deploying an MES for the first time or seeking to modernize an existing system. Watch a recording of a virtual customer meeting with Darpan Parikh to dive deeper into the most relevant and emerging patterns.

The automotive industry is rapidly changing the way it has conducted business for more than a hundred years. Safety, meeting regulatory requirements, and a commitment to generating consumer excitement remain top priorities. But achieving those goals in the context of a connected, autonomous, shared, and electric future demands new ways of working. AWS for Automotive is dedicated to enabling what’s next in the auto industry with solutions that help organizations gain new capabilities across 8 strategic workloads. Listen to AWS Automotive Solutions Director Bill Foy describe how data and software-defined are poised to empower automotive companies with new insights, agility, and revenue streams.

Listen to the podcast to learn how LactApp implemented an AWS video streaming solution, which helped them gain 4,500 new paid users in less than a year, and increased downloads by +22%.

The process of ingesting, storing, and processing video files, and associated metadata, is a top media and entertainment use case. It’s also a consideration for any organization that wants to introduce video into its products or workflows. Video requires significant storage capacity, while organizing archives and having the ability to restore needed assets, for everyday and future needs, adds further complexity. To meet these requirements, customers like UKTV are leveraging AWS Solution, Media2Cloud. After a 3-week migration of 3-4 petabytes of data, UKTV found the benefits were immediate. In this episode, hear how UKTV deployed Media2Cloud and gained business agility, improved developer productivity, while also saving 40% on costs.

Having a clear vision about the IoT solution needed to keep clean water flowing for millions of people was a big step forward for non-profit, charity:water. Of course, the execution turned out to be challenging. Charity:water first tried collaborating with leading IoT sensor manufacturers to get existing technology tailored to its specific use case, which is monitoring hand pump functionality in real-time, across remote communities. When that didn’t work, charity:water had the gumption to try to develop the solution themselves. But the org faced frustration and stalls before finding the right partner. With AWS Partner Twisthink, charity:water found a true collaborator that recognized its core business is a vital mission.Together, they developed an IoT sensor built on AWS that allows real-time monitoring of remote wells around the world, slashing repair time by years. Listen to the podcast to hear about the development process and learn about the IoT roadmap to reshape the approach to meeting the global clean water crisis. Check out the solution and contribute.
