Overview of Internet of Things
Recently, IoT devices have exploded in applications such as farming, wearables, smart cities, IoT retail shops, vehicle tracking, and many others. These IoT devices generate a lot of data, which is then sent to the cloud to be processed. Engineers must first structure them before proceeding with the analytics process as IoT data is typically unstructured and difficult to analyze. AWS IoT allows you to convert unstructured data to structured data and perform analytics on that data.
Introduction to AWS IoT Analytics
AWS IoT Analytics is a managed service that makes it simple to perform and implement analytical models on large amounts of IoT data without the complexity and cost of building an IoT analytics solution. It is the simplest way to analyze IoT data and gain insights into how to make better, more accurate decisions for IoT applications and machine learning use cases.
In most circumstances, IoT data is usually unstructured. Typical analytics and business intelligence systems built to analyze structured data find evaluating challenging. IoT data is generated by devices that frequently capture noisy processes (such as motion, temperature, or sound). These devices’ data often contains significant gaps, garbled signals, and misleading readings that must be cleaned out before analysis occurs. Furthermore, IoT data is frequently only valid when combined with additional third-party data inputs.
AWS IoT Analytics simplifies all the time-consuming tasks involved in analyzing data from the device. Before storing IoT data in a time-series data repository for analytics, AWS IoT Analytics filters, converts, and enhances it. AWS IoT Analytics enables you to apply mathematical transforms to processing data and filter specific IoT device data using MQTT topics. Ad hoc or periodic queries that use the built-in SQL query engine are in the future for AWS IoT Analytics and it has the built-in machine learning models for common IoT use cases.
You also can run your own customized analysis on AWS IoT Analytics by packaging it in a container. AWS IoT Analytics schedules the successful implementation of personalized analyses generated in Jupyter Notebook or even your own tools (like Octave, MATLAB, and so on). It also supports QuickSight integration for analytics data visualization.

AWS IoT Analytics Workflow
AWS IoT Analytics gets data from various IoT devices via the AWS IoT core and from kinesis data streams via lambda. We can collect data through channels that accept multiple formats. Pipelines help to modify and enrich the data with external sources and add or eliminate unnecessary data. The processed data will be saved in time series format in the Datastore. AWS IoT Analytics inbuilt stored the data in S3 to reduce costs. You may query the datastore and construct the data set using SQL queries; after the data set is complete, we can easily visualize and analyze it using QuickSight.
Amazon QuickSight is a business intelligence service from Amazon. QuickSight allows you to share insights with collaborators. Learn more about the Top 5 AWS Data Analytics Services to Master in 2022 here.
