Amazon Web Services will power the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud, which will connect all machines, plants and systems in the group’s global facilities, including subsidiary brands such as Audi and Porsche. Longer term, the Volkswagen Group could also integrate its global supply chain of more than 1,500 suppliers and partner companies, which have 30,000 different locations. Negotiations with major industrial companies interested in migrating to the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud are already in progress, the companies said.
The automaker’s aim is to standardize and network all production-level machinery, equipment and systems, which currently operate with IT differences. The Volkswagen Industrial Cloud aims to standardize and simplify data exchange between systems and plants, helping VW to optimize operations by anticipating and avoiding bottlenecks.
Volkswagen and Amazon Web Services will have about 220 specialists working on the project in several German cities as well as in a future joint Industrial Cloud Innovation Center in Berlin. They aim to put the Industrial Cloud and its first functions into operation by the end of 2019.
