Predictive and Corrective Maintenance across tons of devices safely and securely on the go
We developed a solution on Electronic health record as a service and found the need of AWS iot core for subscribing devices for automated notification and messages for updating electronic health records and screening methods. AWS iot core enable us to develop and scale a full stack solution without the need of managing the entire infrastructure. We wish to continue exploring its need in asset management and predictive maintenance solution of medical devices.

- Gives confidence to prototype iot solutions across lots of devices in little time
- Ability to meet requirements for managing a variety of communication protocols
- Learning iot analytics and visualization for faster insights enablement
- Onboarding devices and managing quickly without building inhouse solutions
AWS iot core is a good starting point which can be utilized for a variety of enterprise solutions. Barrier to entry to experiment and try AWS iot core is less and AWS eco-system providers ensure that even startups can try a variety of solutions and build key skills and capabilities using the iot stack. In case of Azure, they definitely have a very good iot stack but learning azure and the iot eco-system seems like an eco-system for established players. It requires a startup to dedicate considerable developer hours to learn and appreciate the stack. Further, opportunities to get clients in iot domain is not easy in both these eco-systems at this juncture :)
We were using it to scan BLE signals from devices such as mobile ones and successfully send the data to the Amazon Elastic Cache product for more important use by checking which signal could be used based on certain conditions depending on our business needs.
- Great Rules engine feature
- Can filter, process and route data
- Allows the product to interact with other automated services such as Lambda
- Connection metrics could improve
- SQL statements special syntax
- Documentation has some missing information that could improve the experience of using this product
- Cybersecurity is strong
- Strong use for Alexa and S3 transfer
- Saves perfectly the status of devices

- Flexibility to select communication protocol based on existing IT setup
- Near real time collection and processing of data to send real time messages
- Better security in data transfer
- Performance lag in case of spike in data collection
- IoT rules engine can be extended to have flexibility to include multiple coding languages
- Complexity in terms of business logic design
- AWS IoT Events
- AWS IoT Analytics
- AWS IoT Sitewise

- Helped in increasing revenue with timely understanding and communication of service messages to customers
- Helps in replacing faulty industrial machines leading to decrease in cost
- Helped in enhancing product features based on edge cases
Azure IoT service provides more or less the same services as compared to AWS IoT core, however the costing of AWS lead us to continued usage of IoT core over Azure IoT services.
Also, considering our existing technology stack is on AWS, it was a natural selection for better integration and ease of use.

AWS IoT Core: A complete and powerful platform for the IoT industry
AWS IoT is used to develop and prototype IoT devices. Recently, I have been prototyping an IoT device using a Raspberry Pi, and I decided to choose AWS IoT Core for the cloud solution. AWS IoT is used by the engineering department only to prototype and connect IoT devices to cloud solutions and perform analytics on the sensor data generated by IoT devices. By using AWS IoT Core, the business does not have to think about separate analytics software and data storage solution for the data generated by the IoT devices. With the use of the AWS IoT Core, we don't have to think about backend solutions and our focus remains on developing a power IoT edge device with less cost.
- AWS IoT Core integrates power analytics and an AI solution for sensor data processing.
- Great protocol support including HTTPs and MQTT required to connect resource constraint IoT devices to cloud
- High security standards during data transmission
- Scalability and a great user community
- Amazon IoT Core provides a lot of IoT services, so beginners need time to go through the documentation and Youtube videos.
- SQL-like Syntax in the IoT rules engine can be improved.
- Monitoring and and real-time dashboard features could be improved.

- AWS IoT Core has lowered the cost of device development and data management.
- Data analytics have become easy with power AI and ML algorithms.
- Overall, the platform is highly secure so data security is not an issue now.
We have checked other IoT platforms such as IBM Watson IoT and Microsoft Azure IoT, but Amazon IoT Core seems reasonable in terms of pricing and overall functionalities. Amazon IoT Core is easy to start and set up and our prior engagement with Amazon for AWS was a factor to go with AWX IoT Core. Other products are also good, but Amazon IoT Core has met all of our expectations. Its strong user community, affinity towards startups, and tech support are really great.
