Accelerate Industrial Machine Connectivity on AWS

Publication date: April 22, 2021 (Diagram history)

With this architecture, you can provision asset models and ingest real-time sensor data from industrial historians, OPC servers, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) platforms into AWS IoT SiteWise. You use the Embassy of Things (EOT) Twin Talk Express data sharing platform to connect to OSIsoft PI and CygNet SCADA systems. For more information about Twin Talk, see Twin Talk platform on the Embassy of Things website.

Industrial machine connectivity architecture diagram

Reference architecture diagram for ingesting real-time sensor data from industrial historians and SCADA platforms into AWS IoT SiteWise on AWS.

The following steps describe the architecture:

  1. The OSIsoft PI system, legacy historians, and CygNet SCADA platform collect real-time data from industrial devices and sensors.

  2. The EOT Twin Talk data management platform on an AWS Certified industrial PC ingests real-time sensor data and the asset model from supported historians.

  3. Enriched data from Twin Talk goes to Amazon S3, which triggers a AWS Lambda function.

  4. The Lambda function normalizes incoming files to an AWS IoT SiteWise compatible format.

  5. Store asset model and definitions in Amazon DynamoDB.

  6. DynamoDB Streams triggers a Lambda function to create and update assets in AWS IoT SiteWise.

  7. AWS IoT SiteWise filters, transforms, and processes incoming data. It publishes an MQTT message to AWS IoT Core on each property update.

  8. An AWS IoT Core rule publishes asset property update messages to Amazon Data Firehose.

  9. Amazon Data Firehose captures data from AWS IoT Core, transforms it, and delivers the data to Amazon S3.

  10. Once data is in Amazon S3, ML and third-party applications can consume the data for reporting, analytics, and model training.
