Transitioning from Amazon Monitron: Maintaining Access, Ordering Hardware, and Exploring Alternatives

Amazon Monitron, the AWS machine learning service for industrial equipment condition monitoring, has announced that it will no longer be available to new customers after October 31, 2024. Existing customers, however, will still be able to purchase devices and use the service as normal. This decision has left many wondering how they can maintain access to Amazon Monitron and what alternatives are available.

To maintain access to Amazon Monitron after October 31, 2024, customers must have commissioned a sensor through a project within the 30 days prior to the deadline. They should then create a project and commission at least one sensor to continue using the service. For any questions or support needed, customers can reach out to their account manager, solutions architect, or create a case from the AWS Management Console.

Existing Amazon business customers will be allowlisted with the existing Amazon Monitron devices, while Amazon.com retail customers will receive specific ordering instructions upon individual request.

For those looking for an alternative to Amazon Monitron, AWS recommends exploring solutions provided by their partners such as Tactical Edge, IndustrAI, and Factory AI. These partners offer a range of condition monitoring solutions tailored to specific needs.

While the decision to discontinue Amazon Monitron for new customers may come as a disappointment to some, AWS is dedicated to providing reliable and secure services to its existing customers. By exploring the partner solutions available through the AWS Partner Network finder, customers can find the best alternative for their condition monitoring needs.

For more information and resources, customers can visit the AWS Partner Network website. Stuart Gillen, a Senior Product Manager for Monitron at AWS, has provided valuable insight into the decision and how customers can navigate the changes. His expertise in industrial applications and maintenance systems make him a trusted source on this topic.

In conclusion, while the closure of Amazon Monitron to new customers may bring some challenges, there are solutions available to help customers continue monitoring their industrial equipment effectively. By staying informed and exploring alternatives, customers can ensure their operations run smoothly and efficiently.
