Toradex Partners with Microsoft for IoT Workshop

09 June 2016, São Paulo, Brazil The IoT
projections suggest that by the year 2020, we
will have around 50 billion "things" connected to
the cloud. The current estimate is that we
already have about 15 billion "things" connected
to the cloud. Sending data to the web is a
widespread technology, yet new challenges are
emerging as the number of devices is growing
exponentially. A few examples of these challenges
are data security, communication standards, and
how to extract relevant information from such a
large amount of data.   In addition to these
emerging technical challenges, the advancement of
Internet of Things brings a brand new
multidisciplinary challenge. Several teams need
to communicate simultaneously in order to turn
this IoT scenario into a reality.

• A few of these teams are embedded systems
  developers, electronic engineers, operating
  system developers, data scientists, backend and
  frontend developers. The synergy between these
  teams is critical to the success of IoT.
  Microsoft recently presented an interesting case
  wherein the ThyssenKrupp elevators inserted a new
  business model in the market. See more info here.
• Toradex and Microsoft MTC São Paulo are aware of
  such market changes and have joined forces to
  create an IoT Workshop. This recurring workshop
  in Brazil is an engagement in the "hands-on"
  style wherein participants can experience the
  development of the IoT scenario using Toradexs
  Azure IoT Certified Colibri VF61, an embedded
  computer module featuring the NXP Vybrid
  System-on-Chip (SoC) with ARM Cortex-A5 _at_
  500MHz.

Making use of the embedded Linux and a node.js
technology, the participant writes an application
which sends the data from an Inertial Sensor to
the Azure IoT Sensor Hub. Once the data is sent
to the cloud, the participant learns how to
handle it using the Azure Services, namely
Stream Analytics, PowerBI, and even understanding
how to use a machine learning application. Waldem
ir Cambiucci, head of Microsoft Brazil MTC said,
One of the most important objectives at MTC
Brazil is to drive the adoption of platform and
technologies from MICROSOFT and its partners for
helping companies from different industries to
achieve the best combination between innovation
and IT optimization.

We cannot do that alone, so a partner such as
TORADEX is critical for every initiative that we
drive locally. This IoT Workshop conducted by
MICROSOFT and TORADEX is a good example of our
aspiration for helping partners and customers of
both companies to understand real IoT scenarios
and its impact for their businesses by using a
combination of hardware, gateways, module
computers to support sensors and a complete cloud
platform to consolidate, manage, and visualize
the data collected in each IoT scenario. Guilher
me Fernandes, CEO of Toradex Brasil said, This
is a great opportunity to show both Microsofts
and our customers how easy it is to create
scalable IoT applications using our embedded SoMs
which are Azure Certified and the incredible
resources Microsoft has developed for IoT under
the Azure platform.

Over the course of next few weeks, we will be
publishing a white paper split into three parts
which will show you a step by step approach of
all the topics covered in the workshop. This will
help all the developers to test and experience
the true capabilities of Toradex and Azure. The
first part is now published and you can read it
here. For more information about this event,
please contact your nearest Toradex office.
