1. Combining the power of
InfluxDB and AWS for IoT
Use Cases
Bernard Paques, Amazon Web Services

2. Bernard Paques
Solution Architect Industrial, AWS

3. Agenda
• Real world examples
• AWS for IoT architecture
• Connecting AWS IoT to Telegraf & InfluxDB

4. The BBOXX solution using
InfluxDB Cloud and AWS
enables families to utilize clean
energy, eliminating the need to
burn kerosene in their homes
which creates soot and toxic
fumes.

5. BBOXX uses InfluxDB Cloud on AWS
to collect over half a billion real-time
data points nightly to monitor
85,000+ solar batteries in rural Africa
to:
• gain usage pattern insights
• detect anomalies
• perform predicative maintenance.

6. Moxie IOT uses InfluxDB Cloud
and AWS to power their mobile
platform that tracks activity of
factory assets like forklifts and
cranes in a three-dimensional
view to improve performance
and safety.

How to connect machines on the shop
+oor to In+uxDB?
• AWS IoT has enabled thousands of customers to increase their
operational e9ciency or to grow their business.
• AWS IoT architecture covers device software, connectivity &
control services, and analytics services. This modular
architecture fosters a vast eco-system of technology and
consulting partners.
• For example, data captured with AWS IoT Greengrass at the
edge and with AWS IoT Core in the cloud can be shipped with
AWS IoT Rules to In+uxDB via Telegraf and Amazon Kinesis.
