Amazon Web Services, an Amazon.com company, announced the general availability of AWS IoT SiteWise, a managed service that collects data from the plant floor, structures and labels the data, and generates real-time key performance indicators and metrics to help industrial customers make better, data-driven decisions.

Customers can use SiteWise to monitor operations across facilities, quickly compute industrial performance metrics, create applications that analyze industrial equipment data to prevent costly equipment issues, and reduce gaps in production.

Extracting data from thousands of sensors and equipment across different locations is time-consuming and expensive because sensor data is often stored locally in specialized servers that lack a common data format, and retrieving the data and placing it in a format useful for cross-site analysis requires significant developer resources and expertise.

"Industrial customers tell us that getting their data into the cloud and using it to understand their operational performance is the biggest opportunity they see when evaluating IoT solutions," said Dirk Didascalou, Vice President of IoT, AWS. "With SiteWise, industrial customers can now use the power of AWS to collect, organize, and monitor their industrial equipment data at scale. SiteWise will help industrial customers move beyond data collection and enable them to visualize and monitor all their equipment, so they can focus on their main job of optimizing their operations."

"Our industrial customers come to us to help them optimize their operations, and improve productivity and availability of their production processes", said Ravikumar Raghunathan, CEO, TensorIoT. "These customers have plenty of data on the shop floor, but it is often untapped. With SiteWise, we can now create solutions to easily collect this data into the cloud and provide a unified view of the data from different devices and machines that resonates with the Operational Technology people. Such visibility into industrial processes is providing our customers the actionable insights to improve their production output."
