12. Azure IoT Suite
12
➔ DeviceConnectivity and Management
➔ Data Ingestion and Command & Control
➔ Stream Processing & PredictiveAnalytics
➔ Workflow Automation
➔ Dashboards andVisualization
➔ Preconfigured Solutions
➔ Remote monitoring
➔ Predictive Maintenance

13. Demo
A walk through the suite:
• Creation
• Portal

15. The Device Store
16
Azure DocumentDB
➔ Every device is 1 document with
➔ Device metadata
➔ Command list
➔ Command history
➔ Can extend with custom data

16. Ingestion, Identity & Commands
17
Azure IoT Hub
➔ Every device exists as an identity in the IoT Hub
➔ Ready to send telemetry (+ DeviceInfo)
➔ Ready to listen for commands and send feedback
Change the IoT Hub tier to S1 to save money
We care about your budget. Tip of the week.

17. You can easily turn off these jobs, while not testing.

The presentation layer
22
Azure App Service & Power BI
➔ Portal allows to
➔ Manage / create devices
➔ Send commands
➔ View telemetry
➔ Enable rules
➔ Power BI controls used to show real time graphs, on blob

22. Demo
How to connect a device to the IoT Suite
• Sending telemetry
• Listening for commands
23

23. Gateways, lot’s of gateways
24
Telemetry ingestion
Software Field Gateway
Azure Cloud Gateway
Device Registry
Device Lifecycle
Device Configuration
Message Routing
Cloud2Cloud API
SigFox Cloud
Lora Cloud
BlaBla Cloud

24. How can we use this

25. How should we position Azure IoT Suite
Good for prototyping Ideal for quick demos
Interesting
ref architecture
Not a ready to use
solution

26. What is missing
➔ Cloud 2 Cloud messaging
➔ Activation / Provisioning
➔ Flexibility in parameters & rules
➔ Hardcoded to Humidity,Temperature (& larger than)
➔ Backend integration (Logic Apps…)
