Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched AWS IoT SiteWise Assistant, a generative AI tool designed to enable industrial users to access and understand their operational data.

AWS IoT SiteWise Assistant uses generative AI to enable users to understand and interact with their industrial data in a conversational manner, simply by typing in questions using natural language.

For example, they could click on alarms in the dashboard and ask questions like: “What assets have active alarms?” or “How do I fix the wind turbine's low RPM issue?”

The assistant understands the context of the industrial data, taking into consideration asset relationships, historical data and operational processes.

It integrates with Amazon’s Kendra enterprise search service to look up additional relevant information, such as user manuals, standard operating procedures and other relevant documents.

Only the data and documentation managed within the user's account are used for analysis to maintain data security and privacy.

Developers can integrate the assistant's capabilities into existing industrial applications using new APIs and updated IoT AppKit widgets, such as chatbots, line charts and KPI gauges.

According to AWS, the assistant aims to reduce downtime, facilitate process optimization and boost productivity across industrial settings by providing rapid access to data summaries, insights and solutions.

Writing in an AWS blog post, AWS senior product manager Pradeep Kaushik and senior developer advocate Johnny Woo said: “By consolidating dispersed information and adapting it to meet diverse user needs, the assistant tackles the complexities of modern industrial environments providing a unified approach for industrial data understanding and analysis through contextualized summarization of your industrial environment, deep-dive into insights with Q&A and data analysis to accelerate decision-making.”

The AWS IoT SiteWise Assistant is now available in the U.S. East (N. Virginia), U.S. West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney) and Europe (Ireland).
