Guidance on using ISA/IEC 62443 for IIoT projects

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. […]

Building a Digital Twin with Photogrammetry and AWS IoT TwinMaker

Introduction In this blog post, you will learn how you can use photographs taken by a drone to create a 3D model of real world environments within a digital twin. Digital twins are virtual representations of physical systems that are regularly updated with data to mimic the structure, state, and behavior of the assets they […]

Reduce building maintenance costs with AWS IoT TwinMaker Knowledge Graph

Introduction The shift from in office work to hybrid and fully remote work is causing revenue and valuation pressure on commercial building owners. As a result, building managers are exploring ways to optimize their expenses by reducing maintenance costs while still providing a premier tenant experience. Building managers are responsible for maintenance and providing a […]

How to use your own data source in AWS IoT TwinMaker

Introduction AWS IoT TwinMaker makes it easier for developers to create digital twins of real-world systems such as buildings and factories with the ability to use existing data from multiple sources. AWS IoT TwinMaker uses a connector-based architecture that you can connect data from your own data source to AWS IoT TwinMaker without needing to […]

Build a digital twin of your IoT device and monitor real-time sensor data using AWS IoT TwinMaker (Part 2 of 2)

Introduction This post is the second of the series on how to use AWS IoT TwinMaker to create a digital twin of a Raspberry Pi device connected to a sensor that collects temperature and humidity data, and integrate it with an Amazon Managed Grafana dashboard. This allows users to visualize the 3D environment where the […]

Build a digital twin of your IoT device and monitor real-time sensor data using AWS IoT TwinMaker (Part 1 of 2)

Introduction A digital twin is a living digital representation of a physical system that is dynamically updated to mimic the structure, state, and behavior of the physical system to drive business outcomes. Building one is usually not an easy task – to solve this challenge, we launched a new service, AWS IoT TwinMaker. AWS IoT […]
