INTELLIGENT OPERATIONS |
Wiwynn Corporation , a cloud IT infrastructure provider of high-quality computing and storage products , plus rack solutions for data centres , announced it has selected Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) Outposts to expand its smart manufacturing global footprint . AWS Outposts is a family of fully managed solutions delivering AWS infrastructure and AWS services to on-premises and Edge locations for a truly consistent hybrid experience . By leveraging AWS Outposts and extensive AWS global cloud infrastructure , Wiwynn achieved rapid , cost-effective , flexible , low-latency , resilient and secure global deployments , accelerating its vision of expanding smart factories worldwide .
In the past , deploying the manufacturing automation and warehouse management system of a new factory typically took 10 weeks in total , including hardware installation , resources provisioning and access point ( AP ) deployment . With AWS Outposts , Wiwynn was able to seamlessly integrate data residing across AWS Regions and factory locations , and remotely configure system parameters . This reduced the deployment time of manufacturing automation and warehouse management systems for its new Malaysia factory by 90 % to just one week .
At the AP deployment stage , AWS Outposts helped Wiwynn reduce the deployment time of the new factory management system from two weeks to two hours . All in all , the adoption of AWS Outposts helped Wiwynn deliver production environments 10 months ahead of schedule .
Leveraging the unified management interface of AWS Outposts , Wiwynn also

simplified administration overheads , requiring just one-eighth of the original manpower for IT system management ; therefore , it significantly freed up the workforce ’ s time for strategic work .
Additionally , with the centralised management AWS Outposts provided for Wiwynn ’ s factories across the globe , Wiwynn reduced its operational and manpower costs of managing data centres and IT systems .
With AWS Outposts available in various countries and territories across the globe , Wiwynn was able to take advantage of fully managed cloud infrastructure on-premises and rapidly scale smart manufacturing wherever its new factories need to operate . This allowed Wiwynn to more rapidly adapt to market changes or new business requirements . AWS Outposts supports scalability by allowing flexible expansion of compute , storage and networking resources

for on-premises infrastructure , while seamlessly integrating with AWS Regions for additional capacity and services to quickly adapt to market changes or new business requirements .
In addition , by leveraging AWS Outposts , Wiwynn was able to keep network latencies between on-site equipment and its manufacturing and warehouse management systems under five milliseconds for latency-sensitive workloads . AWS Outposts also provided a robust Disaster Recovery solution with AWS Backup and AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery ( AWS DRS ), enabling Wiwynn to back up and replicate its critical workloads to a selected AWS Region or other Outposts .
In the event of hardware , network , or site failure , factory traffic can be seamlessly transferred to the AWS Region or other Outposts , ensuring Business Continuity and minimising operational disruptions . �
