AWS Partner Adastra Supports KWS in Generative AI Adoption Using Amazon Bedrock
KWSAmazon BedrockKWS, a global seed producer, uses Amazon Bedrock and generative AI to boost research speed and efficiency, supported by Adastra, an AWS Partner. Access to Amazon Bedrock's large language models gives KWS flexibility to prototype and test generative AI use cases without the cost of setting up its own large IT infrastructure, according to Bjørn Øst Hansen, KWS's senior research lead for knowledge discovery.
Overview
KWS, a global seed producer, uses Amazon Bedrock and generative AI to boost research speed and efficiency, supported by Adastra, an AWS Partner. Access to Amazon Bedrock's large language models gives KWS flexibility to prototype and test generative AI use cases without the cost of setting up its own large IT infrastructure, according to Bjørn Øst Hansen, KWS's senior research lead for knowledge discovery.
The challenge
KWS's work developing new seeds for farmers is a research-intensive business, and exploring large language models for generative AI use cases can require the cost and effort of setting up significant IT infrastructure.
The solution
With scale and security in the AWS Cloud, and support from Adastra, an AWS Partner, KWS explores generative AI use cases using Amazon Bedrock, giving it access to state-of-the-art large language models with the flexibility to prototype and test without the cost of setting up its own large IT infrastructure.
Reported business value
Access to Amazon Bedrock's large language models gives KWS the flexibility to prototype and test generative AI use cases without the cost of setting up its own large IT infrastructure, allowing it to scale research in a way it couldn't otherwise.

Bayer uses generative AI and machine learning to speed crop breeding and agronomy
Bayer uses AI and data science across its agriculture business. Its precision breeding platform, combining machine learning and digital twin technology, has cut a breeding cycle from five to six years down to four months. Bayer trained a large language model called E.L.Y. on internal agronomy data to answer farm management questions, and uses AI models to guide planting density and irrigation decisions on its own seed-production fields, increasing field productivity by over 30%; it also offers AI-powered seed scripts and planting-density recommendations to growers through its FieldView digital farming platform, which manages more than 220 million acres in over 20 countries.
