Google Cloud announced an exciting collaboration with Randstad Digital to deploy an advanced agentic AI solution. Named Forze Mirate, this advanced AI agent serves Forze Hydrogen Racing. This student motorsport team builds cutting-edge, hydrogen-powered race cars. The new tool directly addresses critical knowledge transfer challenges within high-turnover engineering environments.
The Forze Hydrogen Racing team experiences a massive 100% workforce turnover every single year. The group onboards 50 to 60 new student engineers annually. Before this launch, more than 18 years of technical data sat siloed across thousands of documents. Randstad Digital built Forze Mirate natively on secure Google Cloud infrastructure to solve this issue.
Transforming Engineering Onboarding Efficiency
“What Forze Hydrogen Racing faces on an annual basis is a concentrated version of a challenge many enterprises face: the loss of critical institutional knowledge when talent turns over. By combining Randstad Digital’s talent expertise with Google Cloud’s generative AI, we aren’t just solving a data problem; we are also fundamentally empowering human talent. AI’s true value is unlocked when it operates as a digital mentor that augments the workforce, allowing engineers to focus on complex innovation rather than searching for scattered information and historic files,” said Peter Kouwen, Director, Randstad Digital, The Netherlands.
This innovative solution utilizes Gemini Enterprise and Gemini models. Engineers can easily query 18 years of engineering history using natural language. Additionally, the platform successfully processes visual context. Users can upload photos of complex wiring to receive instant technical specifications.
The deployment of Forze Mirate delivered massive efficiency gains for the racing team. The tool reduced time-to-productivity for incoming engineers by up to three times. Furthermore, the platform reduced unnecessary reliance on alumni and lead engineers by 80%. It also improved institutional knowledge retention by 50%.
“Forze Mirate is a testament to how agentic AI can seamlessly integrate into the flow of work to drive tangible business outcomes. By building on Gemini Enterprise, Randstad Digital has created a highly secure, grounded solution that translates complex, siloed data into actionable intelligence. It is a blueprint for how organizations can future-proof their human capital,” said Joost Smit, Head of Google Cloud, Benelux.
This successful project provides a clear blueprint for future industrial applications. It proves how modern generative tools secure historical data safely.
