Industrial Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) guide with AWS IoT SiteWise

Introduction Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is the standard for measuring manufacturing productivity. It encompasses three factors: quality, performance, and availability. Therefore, a score of 100% OEE would mean a manufacturing system is producing only good parts, as fast as possible and with no stop time; in other words, a perfectly utilized production line. OEE provides […]

Automate application deployment to IoT devices using AWS IoT Device Management

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is trending towards devices that are compatible with the latest standards, interfaces, and protocols. To remain competitive, device manufacturers have to release new features, perform system updates, and deploy security patches in a timely manner. Software applications have long been using automated continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines […]

Ingesting enriched IoT data into Amazon S3 using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose

Introduction When sending data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices to a data lake, you may need to enrich the device data payload with additional metadata in the cloud for further data processing and visualization. There are multiple reasons this data might not exist in the device payload, such as minimizing the device payload in […]

Manage IoT device state anywhere using AWS IoT Device Shadow service and AWS IoT Greengrass

Introduction Internet of Things (IoT) developers often need to implement a robust mechanism for managing IoT device state either locally or remotely. A typical example is a smart home radiator, an IoT device where you can use the built-in control panel to adjust the temperature (device state), or trigger temperature adjustment messages remotely from a […]
