Integrating AWS IoT SiteWise and Fleet Hub with IAM Identity Center and Okta

Introduction Many organizations are using an external identity provider to manage user identities. With an identity provider (IdP), you can manage your user identities outside of AWS and give these external user identities permissions to use AWS resources in your AWS accounts. External identity providers (IdP), such as Okta Universal Directory, can integrate with AWS […]

Detect Cryptocurrency Mining Threats on Edge Devices using AWS IoT

Introduction Machine learning (ML) at the edge requires powerful edge requires powerful edge devices with a unique set of requirements. The availability, safety, and security requirements for the edge differ from cloud since they are located at the customer site, outside the data center, and interface directly with operational technology (OT) and the internet. Since […]

How to use your own data source in AWS IoT TwinMaker

Introduction AWS IoT TwinMaker makes it easier for developers to create digital twins of real-world systems such as buildings and factories with the ability to use existing data from multiple sources. AWS IoT TwinMaker uses a connector-based architecture that you can connect data from your own data source to AWS IoT TwinMaker without needing to […]

Developing a Remote Job Monitoring Application at the edge using AWS IoT Greengrass (part 1)

Introduction Many modern industrial operations require extensive monitoring and real-time decision making for efficiency and safety reasons. To reduce the unexpected network interruption and delay in IoT data processing, edge computing becomes a desirable option for real-time IoT data processing and monitoring. Edge computing is a system of micro computing/storage devices that are installed at […]

Developing a Remote Job Monitoring Application at the edge using AWS IoT Greengrass (part 2)

Introduction In this second-series blog post, we will continue to showcase a user interface (UI) application at the edge with AWS IoT Greengrass V2, a jointly developed solution by AWS Partner, TensorIoT, and AWS Professional Services. This UI application at the edge contains multiple custom AWS IoT Greengrass V2 components to achieve flexible IoT data […]

Building an EV Battery Monitoring solution with AWS IoT FleetWise (Part 2)

Introduction Automakers, fleet operators, and automotive suppliers are recognizing the potential of vehicle data to transform their business models and optimize their operations. However, implementing data-driven use cases is often challenging. Proprietary vehicle data formats, high costs of data ingestion and implementation complexity can slow down innovation. AWS IoT FleetWise is a service that makes […]

Implementing time-critical cloud-to-device IoT message patterns on AWS IoT Core

Introduction Widely adopted Internet of Things (IoT) communication standards for device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device are typically asynchronous, enabling event-driven patterns to ensure resilience, cost savings, and failure tolerance. However, customers across industries need to enable synchronous communication patterns to ensure time-critical logic in their edge devices. Automotive manufacturers, for example, want their connected vehicles to be […]

Create insights by contextualizing industrial equipment data using AWS IoT SiteWise (Part 2)

Introduction In the first part of this blog series Create insights by contextualizing industrial equipment data using AWS IoT SiteWise (Part 1) we focused on asset modelling and real-time analytics in AWS IoT SiteWise. We created a dashboard in AWS IoT SiteWise Monitor to get a real-time overview of our furnace heating cycles. But we […]

AWS IoT SiteWise Monitor

Create insights by contextualizing industrial equipment data using AWS IoT SiteWise (Part 1)

Introduction More and more customers in the manufacturing industry want to collect data from machines and robots located in different facilities into a centralized AWS cloud-based IoT data lake. But the data produced by industrial equipment is often raw data points like temperature and pressure time series. Feeding those raw data streams directly into your […]
