QAD | Redzone and AWS will help manufacturers modernize faster, increase productivity, and reduce total cost of ownership, while ensuring the security and scalability required for industrial operations.
“The real breakthrough in manufacturing AI isn’t technology — it’s accessibility,” says Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO of QAD | Redzone. “With AWS, we’re making Agentic AI practical for every manufacturer, not just the largest ones. Champion AI helps the mid-market move faster, increase productivity, and lower total cost of ownership, all while empowering people on the frontline.”
Key takeaways:
· Built on AWS and leveraging AI and analytics capabilities, including Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Amazon SageMaker, Champion AI delivers intelligent automation, predictive insights, and real-time decision support directly into manufacturing workflows.
· Through this collaboration, manufacturers gain accelerated time to value; higher productivity; lower TCO; improved cyber resilience; and continuous innovation.
“The key to moving agentic AI from proof of concept to production is the ability to incorporate your unique data into workflows,” says Matt Garman, CEO of AWS. “Our partnership with QAD makes this a reality by enabling agentic AI that mid-market manufacturers can securely integrate with their data. Using AWS and Champion AI, our mutual customers can drive productivity gains, innovate faster, and compete globally.”
