Knorr-Bremse focuses on three core areas when using AWS:
-
Establishing an AI operating model: AWS enables Knorr-Bremse to develop, operate and scale new products and solutions in much shorter time frames. AI agents increase productivity in the supply chain, engineering and production.
-
Building autonomous industrial solutions: Developing new business models through data monetization and data-based service offerings.
-
Establishing an AI-friendly organizational culture: Systematically empowering around 4,000 employees to use AI technologies to modernize the way they work. Training platforms and AI tools to promote innovation and agility in all areas of the company.
An initial pilot project in India highlights the potential: AI agents support software development for brake control systems with automated quality checks – with expected productivity increases of up to 30 per cent.
