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 […]

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT), security is paramount. One critical example that underscores this challenge is the prevalence of insecure network devices with open SSH ports, a top security threat as per the non-profit foundation Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP). Such vulnerabilities can allow unauthorized control over IoT […]

Introduction Water meters are present at almost every location that consumes water, such as residential houses or large-scale production plants. Avoiding water loss is increasingly important as water shortages are more frequent across all continents. Due to an aging infrastructure, 30% of water flowing through pipes is lost to leaks (AWS announces 6 new projects […]

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) devices have gained significant relevance in consumers’ lives. These include mobile phones, wearables, connected vehicles, smart homes, smart factories and other connected devices. Such devices, coupled with various sensing and networking mechanisms and now advanced computing capabilities, have opened up the potential to automate and make real-time decisions based […]

Average worldwide household electricity use is expected to rise about 75% between 2021 and 2050 (ExxonMobil Report, 2024) . Electric Vehicles (EV) adoption is expected to drive 38% of the domestic electricity demand increase by 2035 (Ross Pomeroy – RealClear Science). In addition, Distributed Resources (DER) deployments, such as solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) systems, will increase […]

Introduction Smart buildings and factories have hundreds or thousands of sensors continuously collecting operational data and system health information. These buildings increase efficiency and lower operating costs because the monitoring and data collected allow operations to shift from an “unplanned failures” to predictive maintenance approach. Operations managers and technicians in industrial environments (such as manufacturing […]

Introduction Generative AI-powered chatbots are driving productivity gains across industries by providing instant access to information from diverse data sources, accelerating decision-making, and reducing response times. In fast-paced industrial environments, process engineers, reliability experts, and maintenance personnel require quick access to accurate, real-time operational data to make informed decisions and maintain optimal performance. However, querying […]

Introduction Building an IoT device for an edge Computer Vision and Machine Learning (CVML) solution can be a challenging undertaking. You need to compose your device software, ingest video and images, train your models, deploy them to the edge, and manage your device fleet remotely. This all needs to be performed at scale, and often […]

Introduction McKinsey research shows that a remarkable 70% of top tech executives are investing in digital twins, highlighting the growing momentum for this technology. Their goal is to achieve more agile and resilient operations, as digital twins offer a wide range of applications, from remote control and monitoring to complex system simulations, enabling a new […]

Although mostly invisible, embedded systems are ubiquitous in our everyday lives, powering applications, such as smart home automation or industrial control systems. At the upcoming Embedded World 2024 trade fair, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will showcase its latest innovations and solutions in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), tailored towards the embedded industry. Join us […]
