Thule Case
Thule recognized the need to deepen their AWS adoption, with a particular focus on digitizing manual processes and scaling their implementation.
Challenges:
Thule felt the urge to push further in certain areas maximizing their use of AWS
With a certain focus on digitalizing various manual processes, implementing them at scale, with an end goal of setting up more connected machinery
Staying on their path of using licenses, based on-prem, and databases to collect data for industry 4.0 purposes was a dead end
Our Cloud Solutions:
Building and expanding on top of their established AWS services
A Proof of Cloud Concept (PoCC), was set up as a playground to start testing out and expand ideas
By using the AWS cloud, physical servers on-site were limited to a minimum and in this case only used as Edge computers
Streamlining the processes, and setting up the Infor M3 ERP system as a master and starting point.
Connecting the setup to the on-prem “not previously connected” device, which receives data information back while the process is ongoing.
“Kiviks Musteri was an early adopter of running the complete M3 ERP system as a SaaS solution in the AWS Cloud. In our joint venture, we set up a Kiviks Musteri Cloud Base in AWS, creating a solution fit for a growing organisation.s”
