Samsung Heavy Industries
selects AWS as its preferred
cloud provider
/////////////////////////////
A
mazon Web Services (AWS) has
announced that Samsung Heavy
Industries selected AWS as its
preferred cloud provider to support its digital
transformation. Samsung Heavy Industries
is turning to AWS’ expansive infrastructure,
unmatched performance, scalability and
industry-leading services to gain competitive
advantage in the smart shipping industry.
Samsung Heavy Industries leaves the
heavy lifting of its infrastructure to AWS
so that its team can rapidly innovate on its
autonomous shipping platform, a system
that enables self-piloting of large container
ships, LNG carriers and floating production

systems. Samsung Heavy Industries will
continue to expand its smart shipping
capabilities using the breadth and depth of
AWS services, including Machine Learning,
augmented reality and virtual reality,
analytics, databases, compute and storage.
Samsung Heavy Industries’ next-
generation smart shipping systems on
AWS leverage a wide variety of services to
create integrated systems for all vessel-
related data collected from land to sea.
AWS enabled Samsung Heavy Industries to
build a Big Data analytics ship navigation
system using Amazon Redshift which
improves after-market customer service for
ship owners. Samsung Heavy Industries
also leverages AWS Machine Learning
services, including Amazon Polly and
Amazon Lex, to provide real-time alerts to
its customers about the condition of their
ships and will use Amazon Sumerian to
create a virtual replica of the ship cockpit
for land-based training and simulations. In
addition, by using AWS, Samsung Heavy
Industries was able to build an information
security management system to respond to
cyberthreats and is able to provide a highly
scalable, secure environment for smart ship
technology development. n
