IoT Application from the field to the cloud using Toradex Embedded Solutions and Microsoft Azure IoT Platform

Momenta Partners and guests to took a deeper look the emergence of Edge, mobile edge, and fog computing and the challenge to solve the pain points of IoT data. With the explosion of Internet-connected devices that help us make sense of our world through data collection and analytics, we’re seeing a distributed model emerge with the rise of edge and mobile edge computing.

IoT is one of the hottest technology topics of today, but it can be difficult to see past the “noise” to understand what concrete value it can provide for your business. In this webinar series, the Westernacher team will be exploring the practical implications that existing IoT technology can offer to potential users.

Gartner have predicted that within 2 years , 5% of customer service cases will be autonomously initiated in a hyper-connected world with more and smarter ‘things’ that connect to the internet. Modern field service solutions need to be built on an Internet of Things (IoT) -ready platform capable of dealing with, and making optimal use of, the huge increase in connections and data volumes that are a result of this trend. They also need to connect seamlessly with the core ERP processes to keep the service policies, inventory, cost accounting and billing to remain in synch in the real-time.

There's gold in legacy devices—if you can reach it. Long-serving equipment, machines and systems may be the backbone of industrial manufacturing, but many if not most were built and installed in the years before today's on-board microprocessors and Ethernet or wireless network connections were available. It's this lack of data processing and connectivity that makes it difficult to access the useful data that many plant-floor devices contain. However, there are a few ways to overcome these obstacles, and take advantage of the insights and efficiencies this equipment can provide.
