Introduction Industrial digital transformation is driving changes to the Operational Technology (OT) landscape, making it more connected to the internet and IT systems and solutions. With OT/IT convergence, OT environments are leveraging more IT solutions to improve productivity and efficiency of production operations. Industrial customers can use AWS edge and cloud services to securely access […]

Introduction In today’s market, business success often lies in the ability to glean accurate insights and prediction. However, floor engineers and analysts have a hard time getting the information at the right instance to make an informed decision when there is a failure during operations. To make it easy to detect and respond to events […]

Customers use AWS IoT Events detector models to describe equipment states and the events that affect these states. A detector model in AWS IoT Events contains expressions written in the AWS IoT Events expression language. An expression can have one of four primitive data types: integer, string, decimal, or Boolean. By checking your expressions for correct […]

Organizations with large numbers of assets need to monitor their physical and operational health, in order to detect issues and act upon them. This post covers the use case of a fictitious industrial organization AcmeDrone that uses drone devices to inspect assets periodically such as infrastructure components like valves, oil/gas pipelines or power transmission lines, […]

A key trend we observe with industrial IoT projects is that new industrial equipment come with out-of-the-box cloud connectivity and allow near real-time processing of sensor data. This makes it possible to immediately generate KPIs allowing to monitor those equipment closely and to optimize their performance. However, a lot of industrial IoT data is still […]

Introduction The Alarms feature in AWS IoT SiteWise allows you to set up, visualize, and manage rule-based alerts for devices, equipment, and processes. You can receive alerts via SMS or email in near-real time when equipment data breaches thresholds, allowing operations teams to take timely actions to reduce unplanned equipment downtime. AWS IoT SiteWise Alarms […]

AWS IoT Events is a managed service that makes it easy to detect and respond to events from IoT devices. The detector model in AWS IoT Events monitors equipment for events and triggers actions. Finding issues with the detector model before its use is crucial. This blog introduces a troubleshooting feature to find issues with your detector model without using it.

Organizations with large numbers of IoT devices need efficient solutions to track events occurring across multiple devices, in order to identify operational issues and act upon them. This post covers the use case of a fictitious organization AcmeTracker that offers services to track the geolocation of a wide suite of assets (such as vehicles), by […]

AWS IoT customers manage a large number of industrial assets which send sensor data to the cloud. The smooth operation of these assets is critical to the productivity of their plants, since any equipment breakdown can lead to unexpected downtime and require expensive recovery maintenance. The ability to predict such failures and respond to them […]
