How to implement a disaster recovery solution for IoT platforms on AWS
This blog post introduces a real-world use case from Internet of Things (IoT) service providers that use Disaster Recovery for AWS IoT to improve the reliability of their IoT platforms. IoT service providers, especially those running high-reliability businesses, require consistent device connectivity and the seamless transfer of connectivity configurations and workloads to other regions when […]
Route messages across multiple accounts with AWS IoT Core and Amazon SQS
Introduction In this blog, we explain how to route AWS IoT Core messages from one or more ingestion accounts to Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) in a data account. It is a common pattern to have IoT telemetry ingested into one account and then require it to be shipped to another account for further […]

Scaling for Complexity – Architecting for Performant Embedded Devices at the Edge – Part 1
The following is a survey paper, published and presented to the Academic Congress of Embedded World 2022 at Nuremberg, Germany on June 21st 2022. Abstract Embedded edge devices with multi-sensor data sources are proliferating at an accelerating rate. Devices must be designed, manufactured, installed, connected, and controlled through seven distinct logical layers to securely connect […]
Empowering operations: A scalable remote asset health monitoring solution
Looking for ways to monitor the health of industrial remote assets and create a centralized dashboard? Perhaps your remote industrial assets are connected or ready to connect to AWS, but you haven’t decided on how to present the data to operators and maintenance teams. Industrial remote assets are many and from different technological eras. Industrial […]
Detect scene changes in remote areas with AWS IoT Events and Amazon SageMaker
Organizations with large numbers of assets need to monitor their physical and operational health, in order to detect issues and act upon them. This post covers the use case of a fictitious industrial organization AcmeDrone that uses drone devices to inspect assets periodically such as infrastructure components like valves, oil/gas pipelines or power transmission lines, […]
Monitor IoT device geolocation with AWS IoT Events
Organizations with large numbers of IoT devices need efficient solutions to track events occurring across multiple devices, in order to identify operational issues and act upon them. This post covers the use case of a fictitious organization AcmeTracker that offers services to track the geolocation of a wide suite of assets (such as vehicles), by […]
Using AWS IoT Services for Asset Condition Monitoring
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) presents an unparalleled opportunity for every industry to address core business challenges, such as reducing downtime, improving safety, increasing system output, reducing operating costs, and creating innovative services and business models. In this blog post, I will show how you can use AWS IoT services to build an asset […]
