Innovating Across Industries
AWS Customer Use Cases
A machine vision HIPAA-compliant solution synchronizes data in real-time between multiple camera systems and includes a workflow which correctly detects events by evaluating the video stream and categorizing each image as inside or outside the body. This solution provides real-time, remote access to critical surgical information.
A petrochemical company was filling its tanks too often and making unnecessary trips when they were still 75% full, resulting in costly excess labor. Rackspace Technology implemented an loT + Al and machine learning solution to monitor fill levels, predict supply depletion, and prioritize delivery routes and schedules, while ensuring tank levels never fell below 10%. This resulted in cutting operational costs in half, while keeping 100% customer satisfaction.
A manufacturer wanted to predict when their equipment was failing so they could order replacements parts before the system failed. This helped the company maintain lean inventory as well as a streamlined supply chain, lower staff count and the ability to notify customers in advance when a part needed to be replaced.
Using virtual reality technology, Rackspace Technology created new agent training on how to conduct insurance appraisals remotely, without traveling to the field. The virtual training system walks new agents through a comprehensive set of scenarios with a trainer evaluating how well each trainee does and giving feedback on missing knowledge.
A major online retailer needed to optimize packaging options and predict potential shipping damage factors. Rackspace Technology developed a machine learning model to predict transportation cost savings associated with changing packaging types for products in the retailer's catalog. Using returned item data, Rackspace Technology developed a predictive model to determine which product combinations likely result in damage when packaged together.
A global customer service corporation needed an automated conversational interface on its website that could interact with customers naturally and answered questions around products and services. Rackspace Technology leveraged AWS Lex to develop a chatbot that learned from customer interactions and progressively increased its capabilities through analytics using data on customer sentiments.
“Working with Rackspace Technology has allowed us to stay on top of the available technologies. They have supported our project in a way that reinforces our mission to build one of the most reliable IoT and automated approaches to stormwater management.”
