B-Hive Tech Review | By Stephen Breen, Lead Architect, ZeroMission
This week, Stephen dives into one of the most exciting breakthroughs at the intersection of AI and science: IBM and NASA’s Surya, an AI-powered digital twin of the Sun.
Trained on nine years of solar data, Surya can predict solar flares with 16% greater accuracy, deliver up to two hours’ advance warning, and continuously learn from multiple missions. But the real story isn’t just about astronomy, it’s about the future of AI + digital twins for complex systems.
In this episode, Stephen unpacks why Surya is more than a space-science achievement. It’s a blueprint for resilience that every industry, from energy to mobility to supply chains, can learn from. And crucially, what it means for EV fleets and logistics.
Tune in to hear how lessons from Surya translate into transport operations:
- Predictive maintenance that prevents failures before they cascade
- Smarter load balancing at depots to avoid bottlenecks
- Real-time scenario modelling for adaptive fleet operations
The Sun may be 150 million kilometres away, but its digital twin is sparking ideas much closer to home. If AI can help us forecast solar storms, it can just as powerfully help us future-proof the fleets and infrastructure that keep our world moving.
