Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Nikolai Danylchyk. By using low-cost embedded devices like the Espressif ESP32 family, and the breadth of AWS services, you can create an advanced object recognition system.ESP32 microcontroller is a highly integrated solution for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth IoT applications, with around 20 external components. In this example, we use AI Thinker ESP32-CAM variant that comes with an OV2640 camera module. This module is a low voltage CMOS image sensor providing full functionality of a single-chip UXGA (1632×1232) camera and image processor in a small footprint package. As a development platform, ...

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Amanda Lowe. Manufacturing industries only realize 20 to 30 percent of the value of their data. By consistently leveraging the value of their data, manufacturing companies could reduce product development costs by up to 50 percent and operating costs by up to 25 percent, while increasing their gross margins by one third[1]. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is a data lever – it brings machines, field assets at the edge, cloud computing, analytics, and people together to improve the performance and productivity of industrial processes. With IIoT, industrial companies can digitize ... Read More
