Mitsubishi, AWS team for power analytics

Mitsubishi Electric has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to collaborate in data centre and cloud services businesses.

Mitsubishi Electric will work on the development of AI platforms for integration into its Serendie digital platform and use AWS educational programmes to develop personnel.

Mitsubishi Electric currently offers power systems for data centres, including air conditioning systems, monitoring and control systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and power distribution systems. With AWS’s data analytics and AI technologies, these can support more energy savings and more stable operation. Mitsubishi Electric will also develop new energy management methods, such as air conditioning control based on heat load prediction with AWS as well as energy management systems.

“We are pleased to start the consideration of strategic collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric to advance digital transformation initiatives. Together, we can help enterprise customers operate more efficiently by developing AI applications that will streamline processes and enable faster, data-driven decision-making,” said Greg Pearson, Vice President, AWS Global Sales, Amazon Web Services.

Satoshi Takeda, Executive Officer, CDO (Responsible for DX, Vice President, Business Innovation) at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, said, “Our collaboration with AWS will further enhance and accelerate the provision of data-utilization solutions via the Serendie digital platform, increasing our business competitiveness in the digital domain. We look forward to our continued work to maximize synergies and efficiencies with AWS to address urgent global issues, including decarbonization, for a more sustainable world.”
