How to monitor and manage a farm of robots using Azure IoT and Digital Twins

Med: Nikos Delis, Senior Cloud Engineer and Cloud Evangelist på Helo

Robotic arms can unload a whole container full of heavy boxes in minutes, while a group of humans would need hours. However, to maximize performance, avoid disastrous mistakes, and ensure an optimum workflow, robotic workers (like other IoT devices) need to be monitored and managed. Azure IoT platform and Digital Twins, can be used to digitalize physical entities, environments, even whole cities! By doing that, one can understand data flows, identify bottlenecks and simulate various scenarios. We use Azure IoT and Digital Twins to transform industrial production lines, by ensuring eligibility and visualizing complicated workflows. In this session, you will see, how we built our solution and finally how we manage to guarantee full control and surveillance of these magnificent beasts.
