AWS IoT Core Connector
Quickly move data from your local or remote industrial systems into or out of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT Core, formerly known as AWS IoT Gateway. Using Open Automation Software (OAS), you can easily connect your industrial operations with the AWS ecosystem, no matter the data source. It’s a straightforward way to power up your AWS Industrial IoT workflows.
Expand the Reach of Your Data
Data transfer is secure, accurate, and fast. With MQTT TLS, you can trust the data quality through timestamp verification. Use real-time data from plant floors, remote locations, or control systems and connect it directly to the AWS industrial data platform for analytics, monitoring, and more.
The AWS IoT Core Connector allows you to read or write data to and from Amazon Web Services IoT devices using MQTT with TLS (Transport Layer Security). This enables you to take full advantage of any or all of the other services provided by the AWS IIoT platform.
Using the OAS AWS IIoT connector, you can securely and efficiently share valuable operational data like:
Production data
Down time monitoring
Weather Data
Alarm Data
Supply chain information
BMS (Building Management Systems)
Energy monitoring
Inventory data
OEE (Overall equipment effectiveness)
Maintenance data
GPS Data

Industry 4.0 Data Sources
Easily connect to Modbus, Allen Bradley PLCs, Siemens S7 Controllers, OPC UA, OPC DA, MQTT, Sparkplug B, MTConnect, AWS IoT Core, Kafka, .NET, REST Clients, and Databases. OAS serves as a reliable AWS IIoT data connector that helps streamline your integration.
MQTT-TLS Support
Subscribe to AWS devices to receive data.
Publish data to AWS devices based on event, continuously, or data change. Optionally include timestamp and data quality from originating source, as well as timeout to verify broker is still alive.
JSON Handling
OAS effortlessly parses and constructs JSON packets with your chosen data, all without requiring any coding. This simplifies data exchange with your AWS IIoT gateway and supports fast integration with other AWS tools.
Live Data In AWS Services
Publish data to AWS IoT Core via MQTT containing multiple values, qualities, and timestamps. Take full advantage of any or all of the other services provided by AWS.
MQTT TLS Protocol Support
OAS Amazon Web Services IoT Gateway Interface utilizes MQTT TLS, a lightweight protocol that implements a client/broker architecture. Originally developed as a machine to machine (M2M) protocol by IBM MQTT is now implemented in several open protocols.
Due to its client/server architecture and its small footprint MQTT is well suited for small devices with limited power or network connectivity. A common application is to use this protocol on hundreds or thousands of remote devices that may have battery or solar power and be utilizing cellular or other limited or expensive communications.
Key Advantages
- Small data packets save bandwidth
- Ideal for systems with limited or intermittent connectivity
- Easy setup for publishing and subscribing
- Enables full data visibility across local systems and AWS services
Store and Forward
Optionally enable the Store and Forward property in the AWS IoT Core driver interface to buffer data to disk in the event of communication loss to the AWS IoT Core server.
This maintains 100% data in case of network failure.
Common Use Cases
IoT Publish
Automatically create JSON packets with industrial data and publish to AWS IoT Core based on events, time of day, data changes, or continuously, with optionally data backup using Store and Forward. Learn more.
Log AWS IoT Core Data to Databases and CSV Files
Use the OAS Data Historian to log data from AWS IoT Core into various databases, including SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and others. This logging can be triggered by changes in the data, specific events, or continuously. The system also supports logging high-speed buffered data from a controller. Learn more.
Transfer AWS IoT Core Data
Use the Data Route feature to move data between AWS IoT Core and other Industry 4.0 data sources. This works over LAN, WAN, or the internet and supports both continuous and event-based transfers. Learn more.
AWS IoT Core User Interface
Create Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for AWS IoT Core data using the cross-platform UIEngine without any coding required. The UIEngine features an extensive library of components that allow for drag-and-drop design, along with integrated support for Web Trend and Web Alarm products.
Display AWS IoT Core data in real-time, or use APIs like .NET and REST for full integration with legacy apps. Learn more about the UIEngine
