Under the agreement, ArcelorMittal will integrate AWS cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence capabilities into its production processes to enhance asset security, reliability, and energy efficiency. The company plans to migrate some of its operational technologies and information technology systems to the AWS infrastructure, extending cloud applications directly into production environments.
Artificial intelligence applications to support steel production operations
Using AWS technologies for the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), real-time sensor monitoring and machine learning, ArcelorMittal intends to deploy a range of artificial intelligence-based applications in its production facilities. These include predictive maintenance systems designed to improve equipment reliability, computer vision technologies for quality control, process optimization tools, and digital twin solutions for production assets and production lines.
According to the company, these technologies are expected to increase operational productivity while supporting more efficient steel production processes.
Amazon signs low carbon steel supply agreement
In addition to the technology partnership, Amazon has entered into a multi-year supply framework agreement with ArcelorMittal that supplies metal structures to Europe and the UK. Under the agreement, ArcelorMittal will supply XCarb® low carbon steel to Amazon's manufacturing facilities and AWS data centers.
The companies said the agreement supports Amazon's goal of achieving zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2040 and reflects a shared commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from construction activities through the use of low-emission steel products.
