Cloud storage is cheap, but bandwidth and compute are not. For IoT startups and industrial system architects, the monthly bill from AWS or Azure can be a nasty surprise. The culprit? Often, it isn't the software—it is the Analog Circuit Design . In the rush to digitize everything, many engineering teams overlook the Analog Front End (AFE). They rely on "oversampling" and plan to clean up the data in the cloud using algorithms. This strategy is expensive. Every byte of noise transmitted is money wasted. Here is why investing in superior Circuit Design Services for your sensor interface is the smartest cloud optimization strategy you can employ. 1. Stop Transmitting "Static" A poor analog design leaves sensor signals vulnerable to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and power supply noise. If your temperature sensor is reading fluctuations caused by a nearby motor rather than actual heat changes, your digital processor sees "activity." It pac...
