Introduction Internet of Things (IoT) developers often need to implement a robust mechanism for managing IoT device state either locally or remotely. A typical example is a smart home radiator, an IoT device where you can use the built-in control panel to adjust the temperature (device state), or trigger temperature adjustment messages remotely from a […]

Post by Angela Wang and Tanner McRae, Senior Engineers on the AWS Solutions Architecture R&D and Innovation team This post is the third in a series on how to build and deploy a custom object detection model to the edge using Amazon SageMaker and AWS IoT Greengrass. In the previous 2 parts of the series, we walked […]

Introduction In this post, we will be discussing how to manage Docker container lifecycle using an AWS IoT Greengrass custom component. There are five phases in a Docker container lifecycle: create, run, pause/unpause, stop, and kill. The custom component interacts with the Docker Engine via the Docker SDK for Python to manage processes based on […]

U.S. prescription medications costs are approaching $500 billion a year and growing up to 7% annually, according to a House Ways and Means Committee report. In this market, billions of dollars in unused medicines are still wasted annually due to traditional packaging that usually contains more pills or tablets than those prescribed by physicians. Automated pill […]

Introduction Industrial digital transformation can increase competitiveness and optimize processes and profitability through the use of big data, IoT, machine-to-machine communication, and machine learning. Continuous digitalization and progressive interconnectivity of the production environment is important to capturing value from industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions. While this new and expanding “physical meets digital” connectivity enables great rewards, […]

Introduction Edge computing, also known as fog computing and mobile computing, is a computing model that brings processing and data closer to the customer. By moving data closer to the customer, organizations need to review, and possibly expand, their security controls to ensure that their data is protected. In this blog I want focus on […]

Are you seeking ways to get an immersive 3D view of your systems and operations to optimize efficiency, increase production, and improve performance? Perhaps you are generating all the data you need from various on-premise systems, but are unsure how to gain access to this information in a living virtual representation. In this blog post, […]

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 […]

Introduction Whether you are just starting with your Internet of Things (IoT) journey, or already have millions of connected IoT devices, you might be looking for ways to maximize the value extracted from your IoT data. IoT devices data can contain a wealth of information within its reported telemetry data, metadata, state, and commands and […]
