With the introduction of the AWS IoT Greengrass Image Classification connector at this year’s re:Invent, it has become easier than ever to use image classification at the edge through AWS IoT Greengrass. Because it is software that lives on a local device, AWS IoT Greengrass makes it possible to analyze data closer to the source […]

Our oil and gas customer wanted to deploy AWS IoT Analytics to help them:  Better understand their assets in the field (for example, pumps, generators, valve assemblies, and so on).  Derive actionable insights from their data.  Build a predictive maintenance solution to help reduce their costs. By using IoT Analytics, our customer can: Pre-process the […]

Today Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the beta of Amazon FreeRTOS BLE, a feature that makes it possible for embedded developers to securely connect Amazon FreeRTOS devices that use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to AWS IoT through Android or iOS devices. BLE support in Amazon FreeRTOS lets developers create new applications for devices that need […]

AWS IoT Device Tester is now available. AWS IoT Device Tester is a Windows/Linux/macOS test automation application that enables silicon vendors and OEMs to easily perform qualification testing to determine if their devices can run Amazon FreeRTOS or AWS IoT Greengrass and interoperate with AWS IoT services. AWS IoT Device Tester produces a test report that serves […]

AWS IoT Greengrass allows you to bring local compute, messaging, data caching, sync, and ML inference capabilities to edge devices. Our newest release introduces features that simplify the deployment of Lambda functions to Greengrass, provide more flexibility so you can deploy Greengrass to new environments, and add easy-to-use security capabilities. Starting today, you can use […]

When managing Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it can be challenging to maintain or improve device functionality through upgrades to device software and configuration. The complexity is due to a number of factors: the number of devices, multiple versions of the devices, different software versions based on device attributes and state, inability to discover and […]

In this blog post, we introduce the AWS IoT Camera Connector Quick Start, a solution created by APN Premier Consulting Partner Onica. The AWS IoT Camera Connector Quick Start automates the connection and simplifies the management of thousands of cameras through AWS IoT Core and enables video streaming to Amazon Kinesis Video Streams for storage, playback, […]

AWS re:Invent 2018 is almost here! As you plan your agenda, we don’t want you to miss any IoT sessions. This year we have a lot of great technical content about our IoT services as well as use case specific sessions for industrial and the connected home – over 100 breakout sessions, hands-on workshops, deep-dive […]

Overview In an earlier blog post about IoT Analytics, we discussed how AWS IoT Analytics enables you to collect, visualize, process, query and store large amounts of time series data generated from your connected devices. In this blog post, I will show how you can use your custom application to interact with AWS IoT Analytics. […]

For many IoT use-cases, sensors only ever need to transmit infrequent and low bit-rate data. These sensors may communicate over large distances and have battery lives spanning in years, which means they are replaced infrequently. A couple of common use-cases would be in Smart Cities (eg. Parking or Waste sensors) and Agriculture (eg. Soil Monitoring […]
