Imply Polaris, a managed version of Apache Druid, provides a solution to unlock real-time insights from IoT telemetry data. This blog post explores how to leverage AWS IoT Core and Imply Polaris to build a real-time monitoring and analytics application. It provides a step-by-step guide to connect devices, route data, and visualize insights.

Connecting IoT devices securely to the cloud can be complex, but AWS IoT ExpressLink simplifies this by providing connectivity modules with built-in security from AWS Partners. Cardinal Peak used these modules to accelerate IoT product prototyping, avoiding hardware redesigns, simplifying firmware, using pre-installed certificates, streamlining manufacturing, and enabling efficient cloud onboarding. Overall, AWS IoT ExpressLink helped Cardinal Peak save over 6 months of engineering time.

In today’s industrial landscape, smart manufacturing is pivotal for sustainability and efficiency gains. However, organizations face challenges in gathering and consolidating data from multiple, often outdated sources on the manufacturing floor. LTIMindtree’s AWS-powered Digital Command Center (DCC) solution addresses this by enabling data acquisition, management, real-time KPI monitoring, and analytics-driven insights.

Cellular IoT offers reliable, low-power, wide-area connectivity and its rapid growth is driven by increasing connected device demand across industries. Producing IoT devices at scale requires months of preparation, and Semtech’s AirVantage Device Control leverages hardware roots of trust to enable zero-touch provisioning, seamlessly binding devices to AWS IoT Core. This lowers manufacturing costs through single global SKUs, improves security, and accelerates time-to-market by eliminating provisioning customization.

In the transportation and logistics industry, navigating large vehicles comes with challenges like bridge heights, travel restrictions, and compliance. A previous AWS blog explored efficient truck routing using Amazon Location Service and HERE Technologies. This new post explores the HERE Explore Truck map styles to help visualize routes in real-time. By combining this style with Amazon Location Service, companies can leverage safe, efficient, and compliant routing for improved fleet operations.

Women’s sports have lacked access to data analytics geared towards enhancing their performance. AWS and KINEXON collaborated to develop player tracking technology tailored for women, with key innovations including personalized load management plans based on an athlete’s cycle. This helps establish meaningful performance thresholds derived from data, and build a supportive community to advance equality through sports technology specifically designed for women.

Industrial IoT adoption is increasing the connectivity of operational technology to IT systems, necessitating better visibility into assets. Claroty Edge on AWS Snowcone enables asset discovery to build an accurate inventory and identify vulnerabilities. Combined with Claroty xDome, this provides comprehensive IT/OT asset management and vulnerability insights. xDome integrates with AWS Security Hub to simplify deploying asset visibility and enable organizations to defend and secure their connected environments.
