IoT for Business: 1-Day Virtual Workshop

Use the unique benefits of Internet of Things (IoT) to build a smart city solution to help improve traffic and public transportation in New York City. Use a combination of the power of the cloud, along with IoT Edge devices to provide predictive maintenance of city buses, including machine learning for anomaly detection, location broadcasting to update bus route status, and to send traffic information to help inform the timing of traffic lights. Traffic lights will also receive new IoT devices that can help detect maintenance and performance issues, such as when a bulb is out. Easily view all of this information through a centralized reporting dashboard provided by Azure Time Series Insights.

What You’ll Learn

• Use Azure IoT Edge to collect telemetry data, detect anomalies, and send summarized data to Azure IoT Hub
• Use IoT Hub to manage devices
• Store, visualize, and query data, as well as conduct root-cause analysis and anomaly detection
• Build a customer application using REST Query APIs
• Use Azure Location Based Services to visualize bus location data on a map

Prerequisites

• Workshop content presumes 300-level of architectural expertise of infrastructure and solutions design.
• We suggest students take a Microsoft Azure Essentials course prior to attending this workshop.
