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 […]

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 […]

Introduction Edge2Web, an AWS partner, recently announced the general availability of Edge2Web Power Tools (EPT). This is a no-code, Software as a Service (SaaS) offering that helps to derive insights from industrial data stored in AWS IoT SiteWise. With EPT, organizations can better utilize AWS IoT SiteWise by allowing plant engineers, data analysts, and other […]

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 […]

With over 395 million workers worldwide sustaining non-fatal injuries yearly, companies are increasingly recognizing the need to adopt integrated, proactive safety measures. They seek to provide safer work environments overall, reduce risk of accidents and injuries across the site, and improve employee well-being. Traditional siloed approaches have led to key insights being missed due to […]

Introduction Connected vehicle platforms enable fleet operators to get near real-time data on vehicle location, usage, and status. Having this data readily available helps fleet operators manage their fleets more efficiently, reduce operational costs, improve driver performance, and reduce vehicle downtime. Connected vehicle platforms also provide an opportunity for vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) to offer their […]

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close new customer access to AWS IoT Analytics, effective July 25, 2024. AWS IoT Analytics existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. AWS continues to invest in security, availability, and performance improvements for AWS IoT Analytics, but we do not plan to introduce […]

Introduction As the need for real-time information gains momentum in the industry, so does the need for ubiquitous connectivity. Use cases, such as asset tracking, connected operations, and safety need reliable and continuous connectivity. Traditional solutions that rely on cellular connectivity can be expensive, higher power consuming, inflexible and can lower customer profitability due to […]

Introduction Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network. It aims to provide fast, affordable connectivity to communities around the world that are unserved or underserved by traditional internet and communications options. The network will also have the performance, capacity, and flexibility to serve a wide range of enterprise, telecommunications, and government […]
