IoT, IIoT, MQTT, Big Data, and The Cloud—these tools and technologies are shaping the future of various industries. But how do you actually bring your critical process or control data into the cloud for real-time analytics, predictive maintenance, or smart manufacturing? That’s the most critical part, because in today’s connected world, data is power. Organizations are leveraging IoT and IIoT to optimize operations, predict maintenance issues before they happen, and unlock insights through advanced analytics in the cloud. That’s where Amazon AWS IoT Core and Cogent DataHub IoT Gateway come in.

One of the challenges is getting data from legacy systems like OPC DA servers, databases, or control devices into cloud platforms like AWS IoT Core. This video bridges that gap by showing you exactly how to connect your industrial and business systems to AWS IoT Core, step by step. With solutions like Cogent DataHub IoT Gateway, you don’t just move data – you do it securely, efficiently, and without reinventing your entire infrastructure.

In this video, we’ll take you step-by-step through:

  • Setting up a "Thing" (or object) in Amazon AWS IoT Core to represent your data.
  • Configuring secure MQTT connections.
  • Seamlessly pushing OPC DA (or other data) to AWS IoT Core.
  • Consuming cloud data in AWS for advanced IoT applications.

 

The Cogent DataHub IoT Gateway makes integrating process and business data with Amazon AWS IoT Core a breeze, thanks to its specialized interface and straightforward setup. Let us know if you agree!

With an AWS account (free or paid) and a Cogent DataHub free trial, you can start exploring this powerful integration. Don’t forget to subscribe to our blog for more tips on industrial automation and Cogent DataHub!
