How to digitize and automate vehicle assembly inspection process with voice-enabled AWS services
Introduction Today, most automotive manufacturers depend on workers to manually inspect defects during their vehicle assembly process. Quality inspectors record the defects and corrective actions through a paper checklist, which moves with the vehicle. This checklist is digitized only at the end of the day through a bulk scanning and upload process. The current inspection […]
Reliable Airline Baggage Tracking Solution using AWS IoT and Amazon MSK
Efficient baggage tracking systems are indispensable in the aviation industry and help to provide timely and intact delivery of passengers’ belongings. Baggage handling and tracking errors can trigger a chain of complications, from flight delays and missed connections to lost luggage and dissatisfied customers. Such disruptions tarnish the airline’s reputation and can result in significant […]

How to get started with the new AWS IoT Core Device Location service
Introduction The new AWS IoT Core Device Location feature allows Internet of Things (IoT) devices to retrieve and report their current location without relying on Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware. Devices and clients connected to AWS IoT Core can now use cloud-assisted Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS), WiFi scan, cellular triangulation, and reverse IP lookup techniques […]
Implementing time-critical cloud-to-device IoT message patterns on AWS IoT Core
Introduction Widely adopted Internet of Things (IoT) communication standards for device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device are typically asynchronous, enabling event-driven patterns to ensure resilience, cost savings, and failure tolerance. However, customers across industries need to enable synchronous communication patterns to ensure time-critical logic in their edge devices. Automotive manufacturers, for example, want their connected vehicles to be […]
How to convert and compress OBJ models to GLTF for use with AWS IoT TwinMaker
