Collecting vehicle data more efficiently with AWS IoT FleetWise

Today, we think of connected vehicles as an advanced class of vehicle with internet connectivity. However, we will soon refer to these simply as vehicles, since by 2030, over 95 percent of new vehicles sold globally will be connected to the internet, up from about 50 percent today.¹ Greater vehicle connectivity gives automakers opportunities to […]

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 […]

AWS IoT Greengrass now supports the Windows operating system

Introduction Microsoft Windows is a common operating system for devices used in industrial automation. Customers using AWS IoT Greengrass have been restricted to Linux based devices until now. Today we are excited to announce native Windows support for AWS IoT Greengrass v2. This will allow customers to leverage AWS IoT Greengrass on their Windows based […]

Introduction You may be starting on your IoT journey, or have thousands of devices connected already. Maybe you just built an IoT business application, and want to deploy it to your fleet. You’re looking for a way to build functionality to control, update, monitor, or secure your IoT devices. To guide you through this process […]

Find runtime errors in AWS IoT Events detector models using type checking

Customers use AWS IoT Events detector models to describe equipment states and the events that affect these states. A detector model in AWS IoT Events contains expressions written in the AWS IoT Events expression language. An expression can have one of four primitive data types: integer, string, decimal, or Boolean. By checking your expressions for correct […]

How QuantumCrayon is developing the next generation of technologists in South Africa with AWS IoT EduKit

QuantumCrayon recently ran two educational programs, one with 30 high school students in Gqeberha and another with 75 high school students in Soshanguve. Both of these programs included a curriculum focused on IoT development. As part of the hands-on learning component, students prototyped and demonstrated solutions to tackle challenges in the local minibus taxi industry.

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