Ingest industrial data - Amazon IoT SiteWise
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Ingest industrial data

Begin to use Amazon IoT SiteWise by ingesting industrial data. Ingesting your data is done in one of several ways:

  • Direct ingestion from on-site servers: Utilize protocols like OPC UA to read data directly from on-site devices. Deploy the SiteWise Edge gateway software, compatible with Amazon IoT Greengrass V2, on a wide range of platforms such as common industrial gateways or virtual servers. You can connect up to 100 OPC UA servers to a single Amazon IoT SiteWise gateway. For more information, see Amazon IoT SiteWise Edge self-hosted gateway requirements.

    Note that protocols like Modbus TCP and Ethernet/IP (EIP) are supported through our partnership with Domatica in the context of Amazon IoT Greengrass V2.

  • Edge data processing with packs: Enhance your SiteWise Edge gateway by adding packs to enable comprehensive edge capabilities. With SiteWise Edge, available on Amazon IoT Greengrass V2, data processing is executed directly on-site before being securely transmitted to the Amazon Cloud using an Amazon IoT Greengrass stream. For more information, see Set up an OPC UA source in SiteWise Edge.

  • Adaptive ingestion via Amazon S3 with bulk operations: When working with large numbers of assets or asset models, use bulk operations to bulk import and export resources from Amazon S3 buckets. For more information, see Bulk operations with assets and models.

  • MQTT messages with Amazon IoT Core Rules: For devices connected to Amazon IoT Core sending MQTT messages, employ the Amazon IoT Core rules engine to direct those messages to Amazon IoT SiteWise.If you have devices connected to Amazon IoT Core sending MQTT messages, use the Amazon IoT Core rules engine to route those messages to Amazon IoT SiteWise. For more information, see Ingest data to Amazon IoT SiteWise using Amazon IoT Core rules.

  • Event-triggered data ingestion: Use Amazon IoT Events actions to configure the IoT SiteWise action in Amazon IoT Events to send data to Amazon IoT SiteWise when events occur. For more information, see Ingest data to Amazon IoT SiteWise from Amazon IoT Events.

  • Amazon IoT SiteWise API: Your applications at the Edge or in the cloud can directly send data to Amazon IoT SiteWise. For more information, see Ingest data with Amazon IoT SiteWise APIs.
