ArcelorMittal has announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). They will work together to fasten automation in factories using cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and edge technology.
AWS technology will be used in ArcelorMittal’s manufacturing process. This will aid improve safety, machine reliability, as well as energy efficiency. The company will integrate some of its industrial systems as well as IT systems on AWS cloud infrastructure, which is secure and can manage large scale operations. They will use real-time data, sensors, along with machine learning to advance production. This includes predicting machine failures, checking product quality using cameras, improving processes, as well as making digital copies of factories to test and improve operations.
AWS will also offer training programs to aid ArcelorMittal employees learn as well as use these new digital tools.
In addition, Amazon and ArcelorMittal have a long-term agreement to supply steel in Europe and the UK. ArcelorMittal will provide low-carbon steel for Amazon buildings and AWS data centres. This supports Amazon’s goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. The partnership aims to reduce carbon emissions in construction.
According to Coherent Market Insights, the Industrial Automation Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2026 to 2033. Currently, the market is at USD 261.23 Bn in 2026 and is expected to be around USD 455.26 Bn by 2033. The key trend in the industrial automation market has been increasing investments by manufacturers in adoption of advanced robotics and IoT based technologies to drive productivity and operational efficiency. Adoption of AI and machine learning in automation has also been growing globally. Enhanced data analytics capabilities and advance robotics solutions help industries to optimize process management.
Tanuja Randery, Managing Director and Vice President, EMEA, AWS, said: “ArcelorMittal is rethinking how steelmaking works, from predictive maintenance on furnaces and other industrial installations, to AI-driven energy optimisation. By bringing AI to the point of production, they are creating new ways of running safer, more efficient operations across steelmaking sites in 14 countries. We are delighted to work with customers who think at this level, and AWS is proud to support ArcelorMittal’s ambition with cloud, edge, and AI technology built for industrial scale.”
Nik Puri, Group CIO & CISO at ArcelorMittal, said “The next frontier of digital transformation for steel is on the plant floor. With AWS, we are bringing cloud and AI directly to the point of production, connecting our assets and building plants that sense, learn and optimise in real time. By converging our operational and information technology on a single secure platform, we are moving to digitally enabled operations: safer for our people, more reliable in output, and more sustainable by design. This is how we industrialise AI at scale across the steelmaking value chain.”
