Belden's Integration with AWS IoT SiteWise Edge


New Integration with AWS IoT SiteWise Edge streamlines connection to AWS Cloud from thousands of off-the-shelf IO-link compatible sensors

 

This integration brings together Amazon Web Services’ data services and Belden's CloudRail software functionality for brownfield and greenfield data acquisition, providing customers with a complete data solution.


CloudRail is designed to streamline and standardize the discovery, acquisition, and normalization of data from any industrial environments, delivering it in a ready-to-use format. The collected data is then seamlessly ingested into AWS IoT SiteWise Edge for local processing, monitoring, and storage, while also being synchronized with AWS IoT SiteWise in the AWS cloud for enterprise-wide visibility and advanced analytics.
