Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
As part of its commitment to achieving zero fatal traffic accidents by 2030, Subaru needed to accelerate AI-driven image recognition for its next-generation EyeSight driver assist system, requiring greater computing power for its AI development environment to speed model training and inferencing.
The solution
Subaru selected HPE Cray XD670 servers, featuring direct liquid cooling and powered by eight NVIDIA H200 GPUs, to orchestrate its image recognition technology and AI, accelerating the optimization of AI algorithms, model training and inferencing for the next-generation EyeSight driver assist system. SUBARU Lab, established in December 2020, collects video data from driving on roads around the world and uses it to optimize AI algorithms and train inference models that run on the HPE Cray XD670 servers. Subaru also selected HPE Tech Care Service for expert support.
Reported business value
The energy-efficient HPE Cray XD670 delivers twice the performance compared to Subaru's existing system, giving an on-premises environment that maximizes GPU resource use and is expected to speed the development of Subaru's AI models. HPE Cray XD670 achieved top rankings in the MLPerf Inference v5.0 benchmarks.

Martur Fompak International Boosts Throughput and Efficiency with Intelligent Robotics Enabled by Joule and Embodied AI
Martur Fompak International, a global automotive seating and interior systems manufacturer, deployed an autonomous intralogistics model using SAP's Joule solution and embodied AI capabilities, partnering with UK-based robotics company Humanoid. Built on SAP S/4HANA and SAP Extended Warehouse Management, the system gives humanoid robots and autonomous mobile robots real-time knowledge of tasks, storage locations, sequencing and production priorities, letting them identify, transport and deliver materials to the production line while continuously confirming actions back into SAP systems. The company has 400 daily production line feeds with 100% SAP software-driven decision making. Early results show increased throughput and fewer errors, with a future target of up to five times greater work efficiency for mass production. Martur Fompak International was named sole winner in the AI Excellence category at the 2026 SAP Innovation Awards.
