Element adds AWS integration for industrial sensor data

 

Element announced an API integration between its Element Unify software and AWS IoT SiteWise.

The API integration will make it possible for customers to centralize plant data model integration and metadata management in a single contextual service, streamlining the capabilities and making them more accessible to AWS customers, Element CEO Andy Bane told VentureBeat.

While companies in various sectors are increasingly using sensors, Element’s technology is geared toward industrial enterprises, such as those involved in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, power generation, power transmission distribution, and other critical infrastructure. Specialty chemical company Evonik, for example, is trying to optimize capital expenditures and achieve better on-stream time and equipment uptime using the software.
