Storyboard is an embedded GUI framework that speeds up the design and delivery modern UX for tomorrow’s IoT devices and wearables. Iteration Technology and Rapid Design Import allow embedded developers to create products that provide unmatched GUI experiences (graphics and voice) and are optimized for all operating systems and platforms. Storyboard connects embedded developers with designers using popular tools such as Sketch and Photoshop. This allows manufacturers to achieve high-quality UX without compromising performance or development time. Storyboard allows developers to quickly visualize changes and quickly accept or reject elements. This workflow speeds up product development and allows teams to refine products at any stage of the cycle.

AWS IoT Greengrass extends AWS to edge devices, allowing them to act locally on the data generated, while still using AWS for management, analytics and durable storage. AWS IoT Greengrass allows connected devices to run AWS Lambda, Docker containers, and both. They can also execute machine learning-based predictions, keep data in sync, and securely communicate with other devices - even if they are not connected to the Internet. AWS IoT Greengrass allows you to use familiar programming models and languages to create and test your device's software in the cloud. Then, you can deploy it to your devices. AWS IoT Greengrass can filter device data, manage its life cycle, and transmit only the necessary information back to AWS. AWS IoT Greengrass Connectors allow you to connect to third-party software, on-premises applications, and AWS services.
