Connect any machine to the cloud. Realtime machine data monitoring. Analytics and machine learning.
PPM IoT Machine Counter

The Lean Projects PPM IoT Central is a Microsoft Azure based web service to connect Azure IoT event hub data with Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, Enterprise edition or other ERP systems.

Machine data is collected using low cost, standardized hardware interfaces based on popular and open source Raspberry Pi and micro controller hardware platforms. Counter sensors deliver raw telemetry data at a configurable frequency to an Azure IoT event hub.

The PPM IoT Device Central offers real-time machine performance monitoring, stream analytics and device configuration. Through a REST API, shop floor data collection terminals can be integrated.

The open hardware platform allows to connect a wide range of sensors through a standardized electrical interface.

Hardware

IoT Cloud Connection

The IoT device is connected to the Azure IoT event hub and stores telemetry data in the Azure cloud. Sampling interval can be configured from seconds to minutes.

Data can be analysed in real-time on the IoT Device Central, or can be forwarded to shop floor data collection terminals.

The raw data can be accessed and processed with the power of the Azure cloud using stream analytics, Power-BI, machine learning and even AI.
