Creating and deploying a custom AWS IoT SiteWise MQTT connector with AWS IoT Greengrass
Efficiency, uptime, and the minimizing of costs are three of the most important pillars of a successful industrial operation. Understanding the operating state of equipment, overall efficiency of a piece of equipment, or a whole production line – as well as how these affect costs and revenue across multiple sites – requires a complete view […]
How to store data with AWS IoT SiteWise Edge in many locations
Introduction In this post, we discuss how AWS IoT SiteWise and AWS IoT SiteWise Edge can be used to store data not only in the AWS IoT SiteWise data store but also in many other locations. By default data is stored in the AWS IoT SiteWise data store on AWS. Customers told us that they […]
Ingesting and managing data from industrial equipment with AWS IoT SiteWise
AWS IoT SiteWise is a managed service that simplifies collecting, organizing, and analyzing industrial equipment data at scale. With AWS IoT SiteWise, customers can gather data reliably from multiple facilities, structure it, and make it accessible and understandable without developing additional software. With equipment data stored in AWS IoT SiteWise, customers can assess the performance […]
How to manage IoT device certificate rotation using AWS IoT
Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming business operations and customer experiences across a variety of industries. This unlimited opportunity enables business transformation, but if not implemented correctly, it also brings security, risk, and privacy concerns, compromising your data and brand. In industrial facilities, OT (Operational Technology) environments are leveraging more IT solutions to improve […]
How to detect anomalies in device metrics and improve your security posture using AWS IoT Device Defender custom metrics
Introduction IoT applications and devices can be diverse and are used across industries such as utilities, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and consumer electronics. With the exponential growth of IoT devices and the increasing threat landscape, it also means that IoT security needs to be accounted for and designed into the solution from the ground up. AWS […]
How to remote access devices from a web browser using secure tunneling
Using firewalls is a common way to protect and secure access to IoT devices. Yet, it’s challenging to access and manage devices deployed at remote sites, behind firewalls that block all inbound traffic. Troubleshooting devices can involve sending technicians onsite to connect to those devices. This increases the complexity and the cost of device management. […]

Part 1 of the blog shows: How to create an asset simulator with AWS IoT SiteWise; How to create data pipeline to integrate Amazon Lookout for Equipment with AWS […]
Strengthening Operational Insights for Industrial Assets with AWS IoT AIML Solution (part 1)
Customers that manage and maintain industrial assets strive to keep them functioning as efficiently as possible, which they can do by monitoring and analyzing the health of their assets. Plant operators measure efficiency with key performance indicators (KPIs) like overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) or mean time before failure (MTBF) and act to improve these metrics […]
How to implement zero trust IoT solutions with AWS IoT
Introduction Zero trust is often misunderstood. It’s not a product but a security model and associated set of architectural principles and patterns. One of the main challenges customers face is determining how zero-trust principles can be applied to Internet of Things (IoT) and how to get started with incorporating zero trust with Amazon Web Services […]
Ingesting Data from S3 by Using BatchPutMessage, AWS Lambda, and Amazon Kinesis
AWS IoT Analytics is a fully managed service that you can use to query and generate insights about your IoT data. You might want to use AWS IoT Analytics on data that is not being sent to the AWS IoT Core message broker. By using the AWS IoT Analytics BatchPutMessage API, you can ingest data directly into […]
