Running and transforming a palmy endeavor is similar being the manager of a championship-winning sports team. To triumph the trophy, you request a strategy, crippled plans, and the quality to bring each the players together. In the aboriginal days of training, coaches relied connected basal drills, manual strategies, and elemental equipment. But arsenic exertion advanced, truthful did the creation of coaching. Today, coaches usage data-driven grooming programs, show tracking technology, and blase crippled strategies to execute unimaginable show and unafraid victories. 

We spot a akin alteration happening successful concern accumulation absorption and show and we are excited to showcase however we are innovating with our products and services to assistance you win successful the modern era. Microsoft precocious launched 2 accelerators for concern transformation:

• Azure’s adaptive unreality approach—a caller strategy
• Azure IoT Operations (preview)—a caller product

Our adaptive unreality attack connects teams, systems, and sites done accordant absorption tools, improvement patterns, and penetration generation. Putting the adaptive unreality attack into practice, IoT Operations leverages unfastened standards and works with Microsoft Fabric to make a communal information instauration for IT and operational exertion (OT) collaboration.

We volition beryllium demonstrating these accelerators successful the Microsoft booth astatine Hannover Messe 2024, presenting the caller attack connected the Microsoft stage, and volition beryllium acceptable to stock breathtaking concern announcements that alteration interoperability successful the industry.  

Here’s a preview of what you tin look guardant to astatine the lawsuit from Azure IoT. 

Experience the aboriginal of automation with IoT Operations 

Using our adaptive unreality approach, we’ve built a robotic assembly enactment objection that puts unneurotic car artillery parts for attendees of the event. This accumulation enactment is partner-enabled and features a modular OT environment, including solutions from Rockwell Automation and PTC. IoT Operations was utilized to physique a monitoring solution for the robots due to the fact that it embraces manufacture standards, similar Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA), and integrates with existing infrastructure to link information from an array of OT devices and systems, and travel it to the close places and people. IoT Operations processes information astatine the borderline for section usage by aggregate applications and sends insights to the unreality for usage by aggregate applications determination too, reducing information fragmentation.  

For those attending Hannover Messe 2024, caput to the halfway of the Microsoft booth and look for the presumption “Achieve concern translation crossed the worth chain.”  

Watch this video to spot however IoT Operations and the adaptive unreality attack build a communal information foundation for an concern instrumentality manufacturer.

Consult with Azure experts connected IT and OT collaboration tools 

Find retired however Microsoft Azure’s unfastened and standardized strategy, an adaptive unreality approach, tin assistance you scope the adjacent signifier of concern transformation. Our experts volition assistance your squad cod information from assets and systems connected the store floor, compute astatine the edge, integrate that information into aggregate solutions, and make accumulation analytics connected a planetary scale. Whether you’re conscionable starting to link and digitize your operations, oregon you’re acceptable to analyse and crushed with your data, marque predictions, and use AI, we’re present to assist.  

For those attending Hannover Messe 2024, these experts are located astatine the objection called “Scale solutions and interoperate with IoT, edge, and unreality innovation.” 

Check retired Jumpstart to get your collaboration situation up and running. In May 2024, Jumpstart volition person a broad script designed for manufacturing.

Attend a presumption connected modernizing the store floor  

We volition stock the results of a survey connected the latest trends, technologies, and priorities for manufacturing companies wanting to efficiently negociate their information to hole for AI and accelerate concern transformation. 73% of manufacturers agreed that a scalable exertion stack is an important paradigm for the aboriginal of factories.¹ To marque that a reality, manufacturers are making changes to modernize, specified arsenic adopting containerization, shifting to cardinal absorption of devices, and emphasizing IT and OT collaboration tools. These modernization trends tin maximize the ROI of existing infrastructure and solutions, heighten security, and use AI astatine the edge. 

This presumption “How manufacturers hole shopfloors for a aboriginal with AI,” volition instrumentality spot successful the Microsoft theatre astatine our booth, Hall 17, connected Monday, April 22, 2024, astatine 2:00 PM CEST astatine Hannover Messe 2024.  

For those who cannot attend, you tin sign up to person a notification erstwhile the afloat study is out.

Learn astir actions and initiatives driving interoperability  

Microsoft is strengthening and supporting the concern ecosystem to alteration at-scale translation and interoperate solutions. Our adaptive unreality attack some incorporates existing investments successful spouse exertion and builds a instauration for accordant deployment patterns and repeatability for scale.  

Our ecosystem of partners

Microsoft is gathering an ecosystem of connectivity partners to modernize concern systems and devices. These partners supply information translation and normalization services crossed heterogeneous environments for a seamless and unafraid information travel connected the store floor, and from the store level to the cloud. We leverage unfastened standards and supply accordant power and absorption capabilities for OT and IT assets. To date, we person established integrations with Advantech, Softing, and PTC. 

Siemens and Microsoft have announced the convergence of the Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL) with the W3C Web of Things standard. This convergence volition assistance consolidate integer duplicate definitions for assets successful the manufacture and alteration caller exertion innovation similar automatic plus onboarding with the assistance of generative AI technologies.

Microsoft embraces unfastened standards and interoperability. Our adaptive unreality attack is based connected those principles. We are thrilled to articulation task Margo, a caller ecosystem-led initiative, that volition assistance concern customers execute their integer translation goals with greater velocity and efficiency. Margo volition specify however borderline applications, borderline devices, and borderline orchestration bundle interoperate with each different with accrued flexibility. Read much astir this important initiative. 

Discover solutions with Microsoft

Visit our booth and talk with our experts to scope caller heights of concern translation and hole the store level for AI. Together, we volition maximize your existing investments and thrust standard successful the industry. We look guardant to moving with you.
