Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Vaibhav Sharma. Customers use AWS IoT Events detector models to describe equipment states and the events that affect these states. A detector model in AWS IoT Events contains expressions written in the AWS IoT Events expression language. An expression can have one of four primitive data types: integer, string, decimal, or Boolean. By checking your expressions for correct use of data types, you can be confident that your detector model will work as you expect. In this post, we describe the consequences of using wrong data types in your AWS ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. This post was co-written with Michael Brown, Senior Solutions Architect, Manufacturing at AWS. Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a measure of how well a manufacturing operation is utilized (facilities, time and material) compared to its full potential, during the periods when it is scheduled to run. Measuring OEE provides a way to obtain actionable insights into manufacturing processes to increase the overall productivity along with reduction in waste. In order to drive process efficiencies and optimize costs, manufacturing organizations need a scalable approach to accessing data across disparate silos across their organization. In this blog post, ... Read More
