The series of blogs focus on the continued use of flat files and why they are no longer viable for use in the future.The first installment focused on flat files and why embedded software application developers readily adopted them. Then in the second installment, I discussed why embedded developers are reluctant to use databases. The third installment looked at why developers cling to the flat file systems. The final installment provided a checklist for embedded developers migrating off flat files ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple. Author: Megan Ray Nichols. Water treatment is highly resource-intensive and typically relies on equipment that can be expensive or difficult to maintain due to the harsh conditions in water treatment plants. As a result, any opportunity to improve maintenance strategies or cut back on resource use can provide significant advantages.At the same time, the rise of Industry 4.0 has enabled data collection at higher speeds and greater volumes than ever before. This is also known as “big data.” There is a wide range of applications for these massive data sets — like the ability to ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Rodrigo Merino. Industrial IoT (IIoT) bridges the gap between industrial equipment and automation networks (usually called OT, Operations Technology) and Information Technology (IT). In IT, use of new technologies such as machine learning, cloud, mobile, and edge computing are becoming commonplace. IIoT brings machines, cloud computing, analytics, and people together to improve performance, productivity, and efficiency of industrial processes enabling customers to turn to IIoT applications for predictive quality and maintenance and to remotely monitor their operations from anywhere.But realizing the value of IIoT is challenging and usually there ...
