Why This Matters Now

Industrial organizations adopting AWS for IoT analytics face a fundamental tension: the insights they need most require real-time local decisions, but their existing AWS investments are cloud-centric. Running everything in the cloud adds latency, connectivity dependency, and bandwidth costs that make real-time industrial applications impractical.

1. Cloud Processing Can’t Meet Industrial Latency Requirements

Sending plant floor data to AWS regions for processing and waiting for a response adds 50–500ms – too slow for production line control, safety systems, and real-time quality monitoring.

2. Cloud Connectivity Is Unreliable in Industrial Environments

Factories, mines, and remote facilities frequently experience network interruptions. Cloud-dependent systems fail during outages – often at the worst possible moment.

3. Bandwidth Costs Limit IoT Data Volume

Streaming all raw sensor data to the cloud is prohibitively expensive. Edge processing must reduce data volume before cloud transmission.

What Sphere Delivers

AWS IoT Greengrass extends AWS cloud capabilities – Lambda, SageMaker, Kinesis, and Secrets Manager – to run directly on industrial edge devices. Sphere’s Greengrass V2 certified engineers design the edge processing architecture, develop the component library, and manage the deployment pipeline that gives your teams full cloud capability with local performance.

Built On Industry-Leading Technology

Sphere’s AWS IoT Greengrass offering is built for industrial environments that need cloud-grade services at the edge without sacrificing local performance or operational resilience. The stack combines Greengrass V2, Lambda-based edge processing, SageMaker model deployment, secure cloud synchronization, and industrial protocol support so manufacturers and infrastructure operators can run filtering, inference, storage, and control logic directly on site.

Design Your AWS Edge Architecture With Sphere

Sphere’s Greengrass V2 certified architects will review your current IoT architecture, identify edge processing opportunities, and propose an AWS Greengrass deployment design – in a free 45-minute technical session.

How It Works

Edge Architecture Design

Define edge compute requirements, select hardware (AWS-qualified devices), and design component architecture.

Greengrass Core Setup

Deploy Greengrass V2 nucleus on target edge hardware. Configure cloud connectivity and IAM roles.

Component Development

Develop custom Greengrass components for data processing, protocol translation, and ML inference.

Fleet Deployment

Use Greengrass deployment pipeline for controlled rollout across all edge devices.

ROI & Bussines Impact

Greengrass edge deployments reduce cloud bandwidth costs by 60–90% (by processing data locally before cloud sync), eliminate operational failures from connectivity interruptions, and reduce edge ML inference latency from 200–500ms (cloud) to under 50ms (local).

Average annual cost savings: $200K–$800K from bandwidth reduction and operational efficiency gains.

Sphere Partners
Selah Ben-Haim VP of Engineering at Prominence Advisors

Our experience with Sphere and their team has been and continues to be fantastic. We keep throwing new projects at them, and they keep knocking them out of the park (including the rescue of a project that was previously bungled by another vendor).

Sphere Partners
Ben Crawford Senior Product Manager at Enova Financial

I would expect to be delighted. It’s been a really positive experience, working with Sphere, and I would expect you to have the same.

Sphere Partners
Mark Friedgan CEO at CreditNinja

Sphere consistently prioritizes the needs of their clients, demonstrating both agility and teamwork. They bring innovative and well-considered solutions, consistently surpassing my expectations.

René Pfitzner Co-Founder at Experify

Sphere provided excellent full-stack development manpower to augment our team and work with us.

Sphere Partners
Bruce Burdick Chief Information Officer at Integra Credit

We've been working with Sphere and its excellent consultants since our founding. Their combination of offshore talent, pricing, and shift offsetting is hard to beat. They provide crucial augmentation to our in-house team. We simply couldn't achieve our production ambitions without their service.

Sphere Partners
Jemal Swoboda CEO at Dabble

The resources and developers that Sphere Software provides are skilled and have the required technical expertise to complete their tasks successfully, with the team easily scaled in either direction. The deliverables are always high-quality.

Sphere Partners
Arthur Tretyak Founder and CEO at IntegraCredit

With Sphere, we were able to migrate in half the time it would take to train an additional FTE…

Sphere Partners
Lee Ebreo VP of Engineering at Credit Ninja

These things would not have been achievable if we did not build our own in-house system. We augmented our development team capabilities using Sphere’s developer, who works very well with our Dev Lead in Chicago. Sphere’s developer was an expert in the new system, and continues to be an expert as we evolve it.

Frequently asked question

AWS IoT Greengrass is used to run cloud-connected processing, automation, and machine learning directly on industrial edge devices. AWS IoT Greengrass is valuable in industrial environments because AWS IoT Greengrass supports local execution for filtering, aggregation, protocol translation, and inference without depending on constant cloud round-trips

AWS IoT Greengrass works by deploying software components to edge devices so local systems can run Lambda functions, machine learning inference, data buffering, and protocol handling close to the equipment. Sphere helps industrial teams design that edge architecture so AWS IoT Greengrass fits the real device fleet, process requirements, and integration model of the site.

AWS IoT Greengrass V2 component architecture is the framework used to package, deploy, update, and manage modular edge applications on Greengrass devices. Sphere uses custom Greengrass V2 component architecture to build reusable modules for industrial data filtering, local analytics, protocol translation, and process-specific edge logic.

Yes, AWS IoT Greengrass can run machine learning models locally through SageMaker integration and edge deployment patterns. AWS IoT Greengrass is often used for computer vision, anomaly detection, and NLP inference where local execution improves speed, reduces bandwidth use, and avoids delays caused by sending every event to the cloud.

Local data buffering in AWS IoT Greengrass helps preserve operational continuity when network connectivity is unstable or temporarily unavailable. With Stream Manager and local storage, AWS IoT Greengrass can queue data, prioritize important events, and synchronize back to AWS later without losing critical process information.

Yes, AWS IoT Greengrass can integrate with OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, and other industrial communication patterns to bridge legacy equipment into AWS-based workflows. Sphere includes protocol bridge design as part of its solution so existing SCADA and industrial assets can connect to modern edge and cloud services without full replacement.

AWS IoT Core is the cloud service used for device connectivity, messaging, and centralized management, while AWS IoT Greengrass extends AWS capabilities onto the edge device itself. Companies use AWS IoT Greengrass when local processing, local storage, and low-latency logic need to happen close to machines, sensors, or control systems.

OTA updates for AWS IoT Greengrass devices work by remotely deploying new or updated components, configurations, and logic across the device fleet through AWS-managed services. Sphere helps teams build secure deployment pipelines for AWS IoT Greengrass so updates, rollbacks, and health monitoring are manageable at production scale.

AWS IoT Greengrass is commonly used in manufacturing, utilities, energy, logistics, facilities, and infrastructure environments where industrial data must be processed locally. AWS IoT Greengrass is especially useful when teams need to combine machine learning, industrial protocol translation, and resilient edge operations in one platform.

Buyers should look for Greengrass V2 component experience, industrial protocol integration, edge ML deployment capability, secure fleet management, and a strong understanding of local operational requirements. Sphere’s strength is in building AWS IoT Greengrass solutions that work as real industrial systems, with architecture, reusable components, deployment pipelines, and ongoing fleet control designed together.
