Introduction If you operate secure private networks—such as an assembly line’s operational technology (OT) network at a factory or government agency­—and intend to connect your devices to AWS, then you need to use X.509 client certificates for authenticating requests to AWS services—all while staying within the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). In this post, we will demonstrate how […]

The new metric export feature of AWS IoT Device Defender provides a convenient and cost-effective way for you to export the device metrics from AWS IoT Device Defender to your data lake. With metric export capability, you can now export metrics with a simple configuration change without needing to make any changes to your device firmware. This blog gives an overview of how to configure this capability for new as well as existing workloads.

Introduction As edge computing continues to gain traction in various industries, organizations are often looking for ways to efficiently analyze, optimize, and troubleshoot edge applications for better performance and reliability. In this blog post, we will demonstrate how to use AWS IoT Greengrass and AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to implement tracing and observability methods that […]

Introduction If you are using or planning to use AWS IoT Core to manage your fleet of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and wondering how to search for and discover a particular device or a set of devices based on their identities and capabilities, then using attributes for AWS IoT thing types is one of […]

Introduction This blog post represents the second entry in a series on using Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) with AWS IoT SiteWise. In this post, we will do a deep dive on how to calculate OEE using AWS IoT SiteWise native capabilities to collect, store, transform, and display calculations as an end-to-end solution. We will look […]

Introduction The new disconnected duration metric in AWS IoT Device Defender now provides AWS IoT Device Defender Detect customers the ability to monitor Internet of Things (IoT) device connectivity status and duration of disconnection. Until now, customers had to rely on custom self-managed solutions, using AWS Lambda or Amazon CloudWatch, and Connect/Disconnect event messages from […]

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 […]

Introduction AWS IoT SiteWise is a managed service that helps customers collect, store, organize and monitor data from their industrial equipment at scale. Customers often need to bring their historical equipment measurement data from existing systems such as data historians and time series databases into AWS IoT SiteWise for ensuring data continuity, training artificial intelligence […]

Introduction Performing machine learning inference on edge devices using models trained in the cloud has become a popular use case in Internet of Things (IoT) as it brings the benefits of low latency, scalability, and cost savings. When deploying models to edge devices with limited compute and memory, developers have the challenge to manually tune […]
