Streamlining agriculture operations with serverless anomaly detection using AWS IoT

Introduction Honeybees live in swarms of tens of thousands, gathering nectar. In this process, they carry pollen from one flowering plant to another, pollinating them. ” Close to 75 percent of the world’s crops producing fruits and seeds for human use depend, at least in part, on pollinators[1]. ” As well as being one of nature’s key pollinators, bees transform […]

Connected vehicles telemetry – Processing Protobuf messages with AWS IoT Core

Introduction In connect vehicles applications, telemetry data is usually very extensive, containing structure and unstructured data. To send data over to the Cloud you can use Protocol Buffers (Protobuf – binary format). Protobuf provides the application with an efficient yet well structured compressing mechanism. The built-in protocol documentation makes data serialization and deserialization more manageable […]

Monitor and visualise building occupancy with AWS IoT Core, Amazon QuickSight and Raspberry Pi
