With over 395 million workers worldwide sustaining non-fatal injuries yearly, companies are increasingly recognizing the need to adopt integrated, proactive safety measures. They seek to provide safer work environments overall, reduce risk of accidents and injuries across the site, and improve employee well-being. Traditional siloed approaches have led to key insights being missed due to limited visibility of concerns across the board, reducing a company’s ability to root cause incidents, plan safety measures, and understand improvements. Stricter environmental and safety regulations being ena ..read more

Introduction Connected vehicle platforms enable fleet operators to get near real-time data on vehicle location, usage, and status. Having this data readily available helps fleet operators manage their fleets more efficiently, reduce operational costs, improve driver performance, and reduce vehicle downtime. Connected vehicle platforms also provide an opportunity for vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) to offer their own telematics solutions to commercial customers as a value-added service when selling or leasing their vehicles. However, developing a connected vehicle platform can be challenging. You ..read more

Introduction As the need for real-time information gains momentum in the industry, so does the need for ubiquitous connectivity. Use cases, such as asset tracking, connected operations, and safety need reliable and continuous connectivity. Traditional solutions that rely on cellular connectivity can be expensive, higher power consuming, inflexible and can lower customer profitability due to high operational spend. On the other hand, wi-fi connectivity offers limited range and is not practical for real world transportation and logistics applications. Therefore, there is a need for a solution th ..read more

Introduction Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network. It aims to provide fast, affordable connectivity to communities around the world that are unserved or underserved by traditional internet and communications options. The network will also have the performance, capacity, and flexibility to serve a wide range of enterprise, telecommunications, and government customers. To achieve this goal, Amazon is deploying thousands of satellites in Low Earth orbit (LEO) linked to a global network of antennas, fiber, and internet connection points on the ground. High-t ..read more

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 complex and often siloed industrial systems like SCADA, historians, and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms can be challenging and tim ..read more

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 while facing other constraints such as intermittent network connectivity and limited edge computing resources. AWS services such as AWS IoT Greengrass, AWS IoT Core, and Amazon Kinesis Video Streams can help you manage and overcome these challenges and constraints ..read more

“Zero Trust” is an often-misunderstood term, it is 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 IoT and how to get started with incorporating Zero Trust principles using AWS IoT. In this blog post we discuss Zero Trust principles using the NIST 800-207 Zero Trust tenets as a reference and AWS IoT services which support Zero Trust by default and can be used to enable a Zero Trust IoT implementation. What is Zero Trust Security? Let’s start with ..read more
