A manufacturer is operating a large number of factories with a complex supply chain relationship where unexpected downtime of a machine can cause production to stop at several factories.A data scientist wants to analyze sensor data from the factories to identify equipment in need of preemptive maintenance and then dispatch a service team to prevent unplanned downtime.The sensor readings from a single machine can include up to 200 data points including temperatures, voltages, vibrations, RPMs, and pressure readings.To collect this sensor data, the manufacturer deployed Wi-Fi and LANs across the factories.Even though many factory locations do not have reliable or high- speed internet connectivity, the manufacturer would like to maintain near-real-time inference capabilities.

Which deployment architecture for the model will address these business requirements?

Deploy the model in Amazon SageMaker. Run sensor data through this model to predict which machines need maintenance.

Deploy the model on AWS IoT Greengrass in each factory. Run sensor data through this model to infer which machines need maintenance.

Deploy the model to an Amazon SageMaker batch transformation job. Generate inferences in a daily batch report to identify machines that need maintenance.

Deploy the model in Amazon SageMaker and use an IoT rule to write data to an Amazon DynamoDB table. Consume a DynamoDB stream from the table with an AWS Lambda function to invoke the endpoint.

Explanations:

Deploying the model in Amazon SageMaker requires reliable internet connectivity for real-time inference, which is not guaranteed in the factory locations with unreliable internet.

Deploying the model on AWS IoT Greengrass allows for edge processing at each factory, enabling near-real-time inference without relying on constant internet connectivity.

Batch processing in SageMaker won’t meet the near-real-time requirement, as it generates daily reports, which would delay the identification of machines needing maintenance.

This option still requires consistent internet connectivity for IoT rules and Lambda functions, which may not be feasible in factories with unreliable network connections.

    I systematize that the answer is:
    Deploy the model on AWS IoT Greengrass in each factory. Run sensor data through this model to infer which machines need maintenance.
