Mitsubishi Electric and AWS: A Strategic Collaboration for Digital Transformation

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate in data center and cloud services businesses. This strategic partnership aims to strengthen data utilization solutions through Mitsubishi Electric's Serendie digital platform and contribute to a sustainable society by reducing the carbon footprint of data centers. The collaboration will leverage AWS's extensive technologies and insights in cloud computing and generative AI to accelerate and expand Mitsubishi Electric's initiatives in digital transformation.

Mitsubishi Electric is transforming its business model to create new value by combining data and expertise accumulated over many decades into new businesses built on the Serendie digital platform. The consideration of strategic collaboration with AWS will accelerate and expand these initiatives by quickly realizing innovative data utilization solutions and modernizing internal IT infrastructures. Mitsubishi Electric will work on the development of AI platforms for integration into Serendie, use AI to streamline business processes and decision-making across the organization, and use AWS educational programs to develop personnel well-versed in digital transformation (DX) and innovative approaches.

Through these initiatives, Mitsubishi Electric expects to promote the development of platforms equipped with multiple AI-agent orchestration, a technology that supports process optimization in digital manufacturing. Additionally, more robust data-driven insights will advance the development of smart-building solutions that balance energy savings with productivity and comfort, modernizing building operations and providing added value services to tenants.

Furthermore, Mitsubishi Electric currently offers products and solutions for data centers, including air conditioning systems, monitoring and control systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and power distribution systems. With AWS's data analytics and AI technologies, these solutions will support more energy savings and more stable operations of data centers. Mitsubishi Electric will also develop new energy management methods, such as air conditioning control based on heat load prediction. Mitsubishi Electric and AWS will continue to innovate in areas such as energy management systems that will contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of data centers, a growing challenge as the use of generative AI increases.

Greg Pearson, Vice President, AWS Global Sales, Amazon Web Services, Inc. said, "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."

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."



In conclusion, the strategic collaboration between Mitsubishi Electric and AWS is set to revolutionize the digital domain by leveraging AI and cloud computing technologies. This partnership will not only strengthen data utilization solutions but also contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing the carbon footprint of data centers. As both companies continue to innovate and maximize synergies, they are poised to address urgent global issues and create new value for their customers and stakeholders.
