  • Arduino and AWS team up to bridge hardware and cloud for business

    Arduino and AWS team up to bridge hardware and cloud for business

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Today, Arduino officially announced its partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), offering a new path for the future of edge hardware and cloud services. The new partnership will provide Arduino products and Arduino Cloud customers more options to integrate AWS into IoT projects.

    One big cloud for all

    It might be news to learn that Arduino Cloud has run on AWS infrastructure from the beginning three years ago. Since that launch, Arduino has increased its investment in the product, growing the team, adding new features, and creating versions for Business and Education. It turned out to be the right decision, as we hear from our customers about how much the progress has helped them achieve both personally and professionally. 

    Speaking of achievements, it is incredible to report that Arduino Cloud has crossed a milestone. Our cloud now process 4 billion device messages each month! This astonishing accomplishment marks us as one of the more significant IoT SaaS platforms deployed on AWS. Thank you to all of our customers and contributors!

    Businesses <3 Arduino Cloud, too

    Our Cloud for Business solution is one of the areas in which we are heavily investing and growing the fastest. We have received great feedback on how quick commercial customers can realize value from the core features and our integrations with Edge Impulse and Foundaries.io. 

    For example, one of our customers, ABM Vapor Monitoring, built a connected contamination monitoring product for commercial buildings using the Arduino Pro Opta PLC. After evaluating different cloud options, they picked Arduino Cloud, and the feedback was great. 

    “Choosing Arduino Cloud for our [regulated air quality] application slashed product development time by six months and saved us over $250,000 in engineering services. Arduino Cloud has been an instrumental partner in our journey to introduce new products to the market.”

    What this partnership means

    Considering our professional customers was the driving motivation behind this partnership announcement with AWS. We continue to hear from businesses how they appreciate our device management, particularly the automatic industrial-grade secure connection and over-the-air firmware updates. 

    As these customers’ business grows and their product offerings evolve, it is easy to understand how some of the excellent cloud services from AWS could benefit their applications. As a company, Arduino wants to support everyone with an open ecosystem, and from that perspective, this partnership with AWS began. 

    Officially, Arduino joined the AWS ISV program. It is a program designed for SaaS providers built on AWS, like Arduino Cloud, to work with AWS in supporting medium to large customers with architecting custom solutions. Joining this program also provides access to a vast network of over 100,000 AWS Partners worldwide. This means both existing AWS and Arduino customers will experience streamlined support for integrating each cloud with one another.

    In addition, Arduino currently has 12 devices in the process of achieving AWS Device Qualification status. This means our devices will officially be recognized by AWS and provide customers architectural documentation to help simplify the complexity of developing an end-to-end solution. 

    Just the beginning

    We hope this article helped convey that this collaboration between Arduino and AWS is not just another partnership; it is a strategic effort that aims to simplify and accelerate the deployment of commercial IoT and cloud-based solutions. It’s an important step forward in connecting the capabilities of edge hardware with the immense potential of cloud computing.

    The future for IoT and cloud computing looks promising, and we are eager to see what innovations this partnership will unlock for our customers.

  • 3DPrinterOS Cloud-Based Operating System is Integrated Into KODAK Portrait 3D Printers

    3DPrinterOS Cloud-Based Operating System is Integrated Into KODAK Portrait 3D Printers

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    3DPrinterOS, the cloud-based 3D printer management company, announced that it will be integrated into the Kodak Portrait 3D printer ecosystem. The partnership will help provide schools and enterprises with a way to manage files, track printers and materials, and enable printing from networked computers.

    3DPrinterOS, the company behind the world’s first operating system for desktop 3D printers, has the “goal of driving mass adoption of the technology in educational institutions and enterprises.” So far, the technology is already in use in some of the most prestigious universities, such as Yale and Harvard, as well as in high-profile companies such as Bosch.

    Despite the impressive list of clientele, the company is showing no signs of slowing down. For instance, it recently announced a partnership with Microsoft, a deal that helped make its cloud platform more powerful and scalable by using Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing service.

    Now, 3DPrinterOS has revealed that it’ll also be powering the Kodak Portrait 3D printer from Smart International, which was announced last year. If you purchase the 3D printer, you’ll also receive the 3DPrinterOS Cloud 3D Printer Management software as a complementary part of the package.

    The idea behind this integration is to reach high-profile companies with the cloud-based management technology. With backing from Vulcan Capital, the private equity firm, it’s likely that they’ll have a pretty good shot at achieving this.

    “We are extremely proud to integrate our software with the launch of this new professional KODAK 3D Portrait Printer,” said John Dogru, 3DPrinterOS CEO. “This is a big step towards mass adoption and compatibility. Very similar to the success DOS and IBM experienced with the PC in the 80’s, 3DPrinterOS believes in the same vision to combine our expertise in software, chemistry, and manufacturing to build a class leading product.”

    3DPrinterOS Enables Ability to Track Printing Statistics on the Kodak Portrait 3D Printer

    The Kodak Portrait is a professional-grade 3D printer that will cost in the ballpark of $2,999. It offers a generous print volume of 200x200x250mm (8’’x8’’x10’’). However, despite this and its robust steel forged hardware, it’s still compact enough to fit on a desk and be transportable.

    The Kodak also boasts dual extrusion capabilities with lifting nozzles, a nozzle-wiping mechanism to avoid color contamination, a safety-enclosed temperature controlled chamber and temperature support of up to 300°C.

    By integrating 3DPrinterOS in the 3D printing ecosystem, businesses or schools will have access to a centralized system which makes managing files, tracking printers, material expenses, users or designs and printing from any networked computer easy. If the institution already has 3D printers, they’ll also be able to network these machines through the software as well.

    Finally, 3DPrinterOS also adds that tracking printing statistics becomes simple on a per user or design and machine basis giving insight into print failures leading to better performance.
