FRANKFURT — Volkswagen Group said it has teamed up with Amazon Web Services to link up and integrate the data from 122 global plants, machines and systems, as a way to improve its production systems and processes.
Amazon will help Volkswagen connect its plants and supply chain with over 30,000 locations and 1,500 suppliers using a data platform known as the “Volkswagen Industrial Cloud,” the company said in a joint press release with Amazon.
The cloud platform could be made available to other automakers and specific negotiations with major industrial companies interested in migrating to the Volkswagen Industrial Cloud are already underway, VW and Amazon said.
