Global provider of HVAC, refrigeration, fire,
security, and building automation technologies will rely on AWS to
streamline operations, increase pace of innovation, and deliver on
potential of more sustainable, more intelligent buildings
Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company
(NASDAQ: AMZN), announced that Carrier, a leader in heating,
ventilating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, fire, security, and
building automation technologies, has chosen AWS as its preferred
cloud provider. Carrier is moving up to 70 percent of its 4,000
servers and 996 applications away from legacy servers and databases
to AWS, reducing IT infrastructure costs while also positioning the
company to innovate and deliver more products and services to its
customers around the world. In addition, Carrier will use AWS data
warehouse, analytics, and machine learning (ML) services to
identify efficiencies in its manufacturing processes and supply
chains, and AWS Internet of Things (IoT) services to underpin a new
line of intelligent, networked products and services for the home,
workplace, and refrigerated logistics chain. Carrier, part of
United Technologies (NYSE: UTX), expects to become a standalone
public company in the first half of 2020 and plans to leverage AWS
to drive its digital transformation and lead the next era of growth
and expansion in the industry.
Carrier plans to build its data lake on Amazon Simple Storage
Service (Amazon S3) and use AWS ML services to query and gain
insights from real-time and historical data recorded across its
manufacturing and supply chain lines. The gains in forecasting and
efficiency derived from those insights will enable Carrier to more
quickly develop new offerings and bring innovations to its
customers. In addition, Carrier will use AWS’s IoT services, such
as AWS IoT Core, IoT Analytics, and IoT Events, to connect its
products into intelligent systems, and AWS’s ML and artificial
intelligence services to allow those systems to learn from users’
habits and adjust automatically to improve efficiency without
sacrificing performance. For instance, a smart climate control
system that processes data from linked sensors throughout an office
tower could be used to identify occupancy patterns over different
times and days of the week and then modulate temperature, humidity,
and ventilation to provide a comfortable environment more aligned
with demand. Moving forward, Carrier will build on AWS to deliver
new software services that give customers the ability to monitor,
optimize, report on, and forecast the performance and utilization
of their IoT devices.
“At Carrier, we are pushing to drive more innovation and
connectivity to make buildings more sustainable, efficient, and
comfortable,” said Bobby George, Vice President and Chief Digital
Officer at Carrier. “Carrier’s work with AWS is an integral part of
our digital transformation, and AWS is the hyperscale platform on
which we expect to turn connected product and ecosystem data into
opportunities for segment growth, new market channels, and improved
customer experiences.”
“For more than a century, Carrier products and services have
shaped the indoor environments in which people around the world
live and work,” said Mike Clayville, Vice President, Worldwide
Commercial Sales at AWS, Inc. “With AWS’s unmatched set of cloud
services, Carrier is positioned to leap ahead in its vision of
transforming itself for the digital age, putting data to work to
provide better customer experiences, and delivering agility that
will enable it to remain a global leader in building
technologies.”
