AWS IoT SiteWise

Introduction

AWS IoT SiteWise is a managed service that makes it easy to collect, store, organize, and analyze data from industrial equipment at scale. It allows businesses to gain insights into their operations and optimize performance.

Key Concepts

Setup Steps

1. Create an AWS account if you do not have one.
2. Navigate to the AWS IoT SiteWise console.
3. Create an asset model. For example:

{
    "assetModelName": "PumpModel",
    "assetModelProperties": [
        {
            "name": "FlowRate",
            "type": "DOUBLE",
            "unit": "L/min"
        },
        {
            "name": "Temperature",
            "type": "DOUBLE",
            "unit": "C"
        }
    ]
}
                    

4. Create an asset based on the model.
5. Set up data ingestion through AWS IoT Core.
6. Create a dashboard to visualize your data.

Best Practices

• Use asset models to standardize data collection and reporting.
