Preventing Machine Breakdowns: How Physical AI Predicts Equipment Problems

Physical AI: Intelligence that acts in the real world Physical AI differs from traditional AI by directly interacting with and manipulating the physical world. While traditional AI processes data and generates text on screens, Physical AI enables robots, self-driving cars, and smart systems to perceive, understand, and act in real multi-dimensional environments. The key difference: […]

Building a scalable IoT system for connected air purifiers on AWS IoT: Blueair (a Unilever company)

Introduction Our homes contain everything from dust, cooking fumes, and chemicals released from paint, furniture, and cleaning agents. Add to that polluted outdoor air making its way into our homes through ventilation, and you’ve got a cocktail of toxins floating around between your four walls. Clean air has proven positive health benefits. It can provide […]

Unlocking the Power of Edge Intelligence with AWS

Unlocking the Power of Edge Intelligence with AWS

Empowering Smarter Decisions at the Edge In today’s data-driven world, businesses must deliver insights faster, enhance customer experiences, and improve efficiency. Traditional data processing often falls short of meeting real-time decision-making needs. In a manufacturing plant, sensor data can detect machine deterioration, but traditional cloud-based data analysis may not generate insights fast enough to prevent […]

How to digitize and automate vehicle assembly inspection process with voice-enabled AWS services

Introduction Today, most automotive manufacturers depend on workers to manually inspect defects during their vehicle assembly process. Quality inspectors record the defects and corrective actions through a paper checklist, which moves with the vehicle. This checklist is digitized only at the end of the day through a bulk scanning and upload process. The current inspection […]

Synthetic IoT Security Data using Amazon Bedrock

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), security is paramount. One critical example that underscores this challenge is the prevalence of insecure network devices with open SSH ports, a top security threat as per the non-profit foundation Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP). Such vulnerabilities can allow unauthorized control over IoT […]

Connected utility solutions for water and gas metering with AWS IoT

Introduction Water meters are present at almost every location that consumes water, such as residential houses or large-scale production plants. Avoiding water loss is increasingly important as water shortages are more frequent across all continents. Due to an aging infrastructure, 30% of water flowing through pipes is lost to leaks (AWS announces 6 new projects […]

Emerging Architecture Patterns for Integrating IoT and generative AI on AWS

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) devices have gained significant relevance in consumers’ lives. These include mobile phones, wearables, connected vehicles, smart homes, smart factories and other connected devices. Such devices, coupled with various sensing and networking mechanisms and now advanced computing capabilities, have opened up the potential to automate and make real-time decisions based […]

Improved Utility Asset Management and Maintenance using AWS IoT and GenAI Technologies

Average worldwide household electricity use is expected to rise about 75% between 2021 and 2050 (ExxonMobil Report, 2024) . Electric Vehicles (EV) adoption is expected to drive 38% of the domestic electricity demand increase by 2035 (Ross Pomeroy – RealClear Science). In addition, Distributed Resources (DER) deployments, such as solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems, will increase […]

Optimize industrial operations through predictive maintenance using Amazon Monitron, AWS IoT TwinMaker, and Amazon Bedrock

Introduction Smart buildings and factories have hundreds or thousands of sensors continuously collecting operational data and system health information. These buildings increase efficiency and lower operating costs because the monitoring and data collected allow operations to shift from an “unplanned failures” to predictive maintenance approach. Operations managers and technicians in industrial environments (such as manufacturing […]

Querying industrial assets using natural language with AWS IoT SiteWise and Agents for Amazon Bedrock

Introduction Generative AI-powered chatbots are driving productivity gains across industries by providing instant access to information from diverse data sources, accelerating decision-making, and reducing response times. In fast-paced industrial environments, process engineers, reliability experts, and maintenance personnel require quick access to accurate, real-time operational data to make informed decisions and maintain optimal performance. However, querying […]
