AWS IoT SiteWise
Industrial equipment data
Collects data from industrial equipment (via SiteWise Edge gateways, OPC UA…), models assets such as production lines and machines, and computes metrics like OEE, with dashboards for operations engineers.

- Costs money when idle?A little
- Serverless
Think of it asLike a health log for each machine in the factory that updates itself every second.
When to use it
✓ Use it when
A factory that needs to collect operational data from many devices and track KPIs by asset hierarchy.
✗ Avoid it when
Consumer IoT data with no industrial asset model → IoT Core + Timestream.
Common uses
- OEE dashboard for production lines
- Monitor machine temperature and pressure
- Bring data from multiple factories into one place
What does it cost?
- Pricing model: Billed by data ingested, data stored, number of metric computations, and queries; SiteWise Edge costs extra per gateway.
