Advances in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have made smart factories a reality through the application of AI and cloud computing technologies. In this post, explore how EXOR International’s systems-on-module (SOM) and edge gateways, powered by Intel’s Cyclone V FPGA, allow system integrators and application builders to deliver AWS-based IIoT solutions with faster time-to-market, lower total cost of ownership, and reduced development efforts.

With connected IoT solutions built on AWS, businesses can be more proactive with maintenance instead of reactionary, allowing them to fix problems with machinery before they become critical. Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. teamed up with TensorIoT to solve for this use case. Together, they built an IoT solution on AWS that ensures the maintenance needs of Reliance’s industrial machinery are anticipated and that machines can be serviced before breaking down.

The AWS Industrial Software Competency highlights top APN Consulting and Technology Partners that provide solutions and services for an end-to-end industrial software toolchain. These partners support the primary steps in discrete manufacturing or process industries: Product Design, Production Design, and Production/Operations. They follow AWS best practices for building the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient cloud infrastructure for industry applications.

The term Industry 4.0 encompasses a promise of a new industrial revolution—for the industrial sector, one that marries advanced manufacturing techniques with the Internet of Things to create systems that are not only interconnected, but communicate, analyze, and use information to drive further intelligent action back in the physical world. Today is the internet moment for manufacturing, and with it comes the gold rush of providers ready to enable the industry’s digital transformation.

No-code manufacturing app platforms such as Tulip are a critical tool for manufacturers undergoing a digital transformation. These platforms allow frontline engineers to easily build, on their own, shop-floor applications to increase the productivity, quality, and efficiency of their operations. By leveraging AWS to deliver their manufacturing app platform, Tulip lets manufacturers of all sizes access the benefits of the cloud.
