Cloud Technology

Cloud Infrastructure for Metals Manufacturing

Your shop floor generates data every day. Inspection results, production runs, mill certificate scans, inventory movements. Most of it sits in spreadsheets, in email threads, or in a server room nobody updates.

Cloud platforms, primarily Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), change what you can do with that data. They are where the processing happens when GoSmarter reads your mill certificates, where GoSmarter stores your data securely, and where your team can access live production reports from any device.

For metals manufacturers, cloud technology is not about replacing your ERP. It is about connecting the systems you already have. Your ERP does not talk to your quality system. Your quality system does not talk to your inventory tool. Cloud-based middleware and application programming interfaces (APIs) can close those gaps. No custom development project costing six months and a small fortune.

Posts in this section cover:

  • Microsoft Azure and AWS fundamentals for manufacturers
  • Cloud storage and security for mill certificates and production records
  • Connecting ERP systems to cloud-based AI tools
  • Cost management: so you are not paying for compute you are not using

Cloud infrastructure is not glamorous. But it is what makes everything else work.
