en.Wedoany.com Reported - Google Cloud, in collaboration with Randstad Digital, has deployed an intelligent AI agent named Forze Mirate for the renowned student racing team Forze Hydrogen Racing, addressing knowledge transfer challenges in its high-turnover engineering environment. Built on Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise and Gemini models, the solution aims to ensure efficient continuity of technical expertise.
Forze Hydrogen Racing faces a 100% annual personnel turnover, onboarding 50 to 60 new student engineers each year who must immediately take over complex engineering projects. Over 18 years, the team's technical knowledge base—including specifications, CAD drawings, telemetry data, and operating guidelines—has become scattered across thousands of documents on multiple platforms, resulting in steep learning curves for new members, excessive reliance on veteran teammates, and significant time spent on repetitive questions.
To address this pain point, digital and AI talent services provider Randstad Digital developed Forze Mirate. Built on Google Cloud's secure infrastructure, this AI agent consolidates fragmented historical data into an accessible conversational solution, delivering real-time, actionable insights.
"The challenges Forze Hydrogen Racing faces annually are a microcosm of what many enterprises encounter: talent turnover leading to the loss of critical institutional knowledge," said Peter Kouwen, Director of Randstad Digital Netherlands. "By combining Randstad Digital's talent expertise with Google Cloud's generative AI, we are not just handling data issues but empowering talent at its root. The true value is unlocked when AI acts as a digital mentor, enhancing employee capabilities and allowing engineers to focus on complex innovation rather than searching for scattered information and historical files."
Leveraging Google Cloud's AI technology stack, Forze Mirate enables engineers to query 18 years of engineering history using natural language, receiving contextual, role-specific answers with citations from original documents and insights from veteran teammates. The platform also processes visual information; for example, engineers can upload photos of complex wiring and instantly obtain relevant technical specifications and safety instructions.
Since deploying the solution, Forze Hydrogen Racing has achieved efficiency gains: the time for new engineers to reach productive capacity has been reduced by up to two-thirds; unnecessary reliance on veteran teammates and chief engineers has decreased by 80%, while coordination with teammates who have entered the professional field has become easier; and institutional knowledge retention has improved by 50%, ensuring engineering breakthroughs are not lost across generations.
"Forze Mirate demonstrates how agentic AI can seamlessly integrate into workflows to drive tangible business outcomes," said Joost Smit, Head of Google Cloud Benelux. "By building on Gemini Enterprise, Randstad Digital has created a highly secure, fact-based solution that transforms complex, scattered data into actionable intelligence."
Google Cloud provides an AI technology stack, including AI infrastructure, Gemini models, data management capabilities, multi-cloud security solutions, developer tools, and agents and applications, enabling organizations to transform their businesses for the agentic era. Customers from over 200 countries and regions trust Google Cloud as their technology partner. Randstad Digital, a specialized division of Randstad focused on IT and technology, serves as a digital and AI talent partner, supporting clients in their digital transformation. Its services combine IT expertise with a global network of over 25,000 digital specialists, offering technology consulting, managed projects, on-demand team augmentation, and talent services.
Forze Hydrogen Racing is a student-led team that designs, builds, and drives hydrogen-electric race cars. Founded in 2007 at Delft University of Technology, the team focuses on education, innovation, and sustainability. Since its inception, it has built nine hydrogen fuel cell race cars, with over 500 students contributing to its success.
