Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things

By: Giacomo Veneri, Antonio Capasso

Overview of this book

We live in an era where advanced automation is used to achieve accurate results. To set up an automation environment, you need to first configure a network that can be accessed anywhere and by any device. This book is a practical guide that helps you discover the technologies and use cases for Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things takes you through the implementation of industrial processes and specialized control devices and protocols. You’ll study the process of identifying and connecting to different industrial data sources gathered from different sensors. Furthermore, you’ll be able to connect these sensors to cloud network, such as AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google IoT, and OEM IoT platforms, and extract data from the cloud to your devices. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain hands-on experience in using open source Node-Red, Kafka, Cassandra, and Python. You will also learn how to develop streaming and batch-based Machine Learning algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the features of Industry 4.0 and be able to build stronger, faster, and more reliable IoT infrastructure in your Industry.

Performing a Practical Industrial IoT Solution with Azure

In the previous chapters, we looked at how to build an I-IoT platform with AWS, GCP, and a custom solution. We have explored some of the most important concepts, including storage, time-series, microservices, protocols, and data analytics. The purpose of this chapter is to build an I-IoT solution with Azure.

In this chapter, we will discover the most popular Azure cloud components that can be applied to I-IoT. We will cover the following:

  • Azure IoT
  • Azure analytics
  • Building visualizations with Power BI
  • Time Series Insights
  • Connecting a device with IoT Edge
  • Comparing the platforms
