Calculating Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) with AWS IoT SiteWise
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 […]
Design considerations for cost-effective video surveillance platforms with AWS IoT for Smart Homes
Introduction Designing and developing a cost-efficient, cloud-connected video platform for surveillance cameras and smart home devices require developers to architect and integrate a streaming service capable of ingesting, storing, and processing unstructured media data at scale. The infrastructure behind such a platform needs to handle large volumes of predicated data load along with the flexibility […]
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 […]
Building machine learning pipelines with Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Introduction Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) makes it easy to securely stream video from connected devices to AWS for analytics, machine learning (ML), playback, and other processing. KVS automatically provisions and elastically scales all the infrastructure needed to ingest streaming video data from millions of devices. It durably stores, encrypts, and indexes video data in […]
Improving building operational performance with Cognizant 1Facility and AWS IoT TwinMaker
Post also written by Shardul Pradhan and Ramesh Yechangunja from Cognizant Introduction Recent market conditions have stressed the commercial building management market due to the increased cost of construction, reduced occupancy, and increased cost of labor to monitor and maintain buildings. This is fueling the need for smarter and safer buildings. According to research from […]
Introducing AWS IoT TwinMaker
The “twin” concept is not new and actually dates back to the early days of the space program. The Apollo 13 mission in the 1960s is an early use-case example of using twins. Following the explosion of an oxygen tank in the service module, the damaged spacecraft was far beyond any situation envisioned during the […]
Find runtime errors in AWS IoT Events detector models using type checking
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 […]
