Technical and marketing teams working on internet of things (IoT) programs, sooner or later, manage a project that requires data flow between a fleet of devices and the cloud. This data is critical because marketing wants to provide more features to the users, business teams require data driven decisions, and technical teams work to optimize […]

AWS IoT Core is a managed service that helps you to securely connect billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the AWS cloud. The AWS IoT rules engine is a component of AWS IoT Core and provides SQL-like capabilities to filter, transform, and decode your IoT device data. You can use AWS IoT rules […]

Large-scale IoT fleet migrations to the cloud represent one of the most complex technical transformations that organizations face today. While the benefits of cloud migration are clear, the path to successful implementation requires careful planning and execution. In a previous blog post we elaborated on key reasons to migrate to AWS IoT Core. In this […]

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 […]

Efficient baggage tracking systems are indispensable in the aviation industry and help to provide timely and intact delivery of passengers’ belongings. Baggage handling and tracking errors can trigger a chain of complications, from flight delays and missed connections to lost luggage and dissatisfied customers.

Introduction The National Fire Protection Association records over one million fires each year. These fires rank as one of the top threats to urban safety in the United States. Currently, fire departments largely rely on traditional fire detection systems composed of in-home smoke detectors, fire call boxes, and public notification (calls) to receive their alerts. […]

AWS IoT Device Management’s location indexing and geoquery feature allows you to search for devices based on their last reported location. You can list devices that are located within a specific geographic area, perform a proximity search relative to a reference location, implement targeted over-the-air (OTA) updates, derive location-specific device performance insights, and identify devices that are no longer in a desired geographic boundary. In this blog, you will learn how to get started with indexing location data and using geoqueries to support your day-to-day IoT fleet management operations.
