Introduction When implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) workload, companies are faced with multiple options when it comes to choosing a platform. From building it entirely from scratch, including your own device hardware, all the way to purchasing preconfigured hardware and just connecting to a completely Software as a service (SaaS) IoT platform. The goal […]

Introduction One of the major barriers to Industrial IoT (IIoT) adoption is integrating modern IIoT solutions in brownfield environments with legacy components and systems. These legacy industrial components and systems could be 20, 30, 40 years old and are less capable of supporting modern security standards. Physically connecting legacy industrial systems to the cloud can be […]

Introduction Industrial customers in manufacturing, oil and gas, energy, and utilities industries commonly use Windows-based industrial devices and infrastructure. The recent release of AWS IoT SiteWise Edge for Windows, enables these customers to rapidly deploy and connect AWS IoT industrial facilities to AWS. Customers will be able to install AWS IoT SiteWise Edge natively on […]

Introduction  We are pleased to introduce the latest version of AWS Well-Architected IoT Lens. IoT projects can be complex due to a combination of many factors, including devices, software, use case scenarios, environments, processing patterns, network connectivity technologies, communication protocols, security issues, technical risks, compliance requirements and standards. The AWS Well-Architected IoT Lens provides simple […]

Introduction With the increasing proliferation of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems and cloud services for innovation and digital transformation, government agencies and industrial customers are faced with protecting an expanding attack surface. The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards were written before IIoT technologies were common but provide a strong basis for securing these environments. […]

Introduction to Protocol Buffers Protocol Buffers, or Protobuf, provide a platform-neutral approach for serializing structured data. Protobuf is similar to JSON, except it is smaller, faster, and is capable of automatically generating bindings in your preferred programming language. AWS IoT Core is a managed service that lets you connect billions of IoT devices and route […]

The shift from fossil fuels to electric powered vehicles is a key component of government and commercial commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It is projected that the United States alone will require a national network of at least 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers by 2030 to support the projected number of EVs on […]

Introduction Organizations install hundreds of Internet Protocol (IP) cameras to increase security by surveilling indoor and outdoor spaces. This is a common need for manufacturing plant floors across industries such as automotive, commercial, Oil & Gas, public safety, and agri-tech. Companies connect cameras to the cloud to create a centralized view of their siloed data […]

Introduction A benefit of Internet of things (IoT) technology is the ability to connect your devices to the cloud and easily access them from around the world. While this benefit has unlocked many opportunities, it has also has created a major challenge of keeping devices updated. Managing and maintaining a fleet of IoT devices spread […]

AWS IoT Core is a fully managed service that lets you connect billions of IoT devices and route trillions of messages to AWS services without managing infrastructure. One of the key features of AWS IoT Core is Rules Engine. With Rules Engine, you can send data from your IoT devices to other services in AWS. […]
