59. IMPROVING HEALTHCARE… Using technology in these ways can go beyond the hospital facilities as well. Patient Azure Event Hub Azure Stream Analytics Azure Notification Hubs Dispatch Nurse Remote patient telemetry containing vital signs, medicines being administered and other environmental factors is securely streamed over the Internet to Azure Event Hub. Azure Stream Analytics pulls data out of Event Hub and observes that the patient’s temperature has exceeded a predetermined threshold of 100 degrees. Azure Notification Hubs is called to facilitate the response to this event.A push notification with the patient information is sent to the appropriate nurses station where an alert is displayed on the patient health telemetry screen resulting in an immediate visit to the patient.

60. INCREASING REVENUE… There are scenarios in merchandising where this insight can be invaluable. Thing Azure Event Hub Azure Stream Analytics Remote telemetry containing inventory, sales, alarms and other status events are securely sent to Azure Event Hub. Azure Stream Analytics pulls data from Event Hub and determines that employees on the 3rd floor of the building love white powdered donuts and purchase them 3 times more often than any other snack in this particular vending machine. You act on this granular merchandising information by tripling-up on the number of spirals selling white powdered donuts. This vending machine now makes you more money because you’re catering to the needs of a very specific audience. Thing $$

61. INCREASING REVENUE… This time we achieve more revenue with the power of location and new consumer experiences. Thing Azure Event Hub Azure Stream Analytics Azure SQL Database Remote telemetry containing inventory, sales, alarms and other status events is securely streamed over the Internet to Azure Event Hub. Azure Stream Analytics pulls data out of Event Hub and inserts the product inventory, GPS location plus the building address and floor in Azure SQL Database. A smartphone app provided by the vending machine owner combines location based services along with snack and drink preferences entered by the customer to find a nearby vending machine with the items the customer is searching for. A match between inventory, customer preferences and location is made, resulting in a sale. Thing $$ GPS

62. Drilling Ops Azure Event Hub Azure Stream Analytics Azure Notification Hubs Repair Personnel Remote drilling telemetry is securely streamed over the Internet to Azure Event Hub via an onsite field gateway. Azure Stream Analytics pulls data out of Event Hub and passes the current state of various drilling components to Azure Machine Learning Azure Notification Hubs is called to facilitate the response to this event.A push notification with information about the failing component is sent to appropriate repair personnel resulting in a repair that is cheaper than it would be if the component failed. It also means reduced or no loss up uptime. Azure Machine Learning Machine Learning analyzes the incoming state of drilling components and models them against on-spec values and previously analyzed values to determine that one of them is going to fail. PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE… Reduction in risk and working smarter with machine assisted prediction.

63. FINDING PARKING… City services and other improvements can come from IoT innovation. Street Parking Azure Event Hub Azure SQL Database A magnetic sensor embedded in the street sends remote telemetry containing the presence of a car and location to a field gateway mounted on a nearby street light which securely streams this data over the Internet to Azure Event Hub. An event processor pulls data out of Event Hub and inserts it into Azure SQL Database while calling Azure Notification Hubs so it can respond to the update. A push notification is sent to the smartphone, tablet, or in-dash Azure Mobile Services app which then syncs with Azure SQL Database to alert the nearby driver of the location of the open parking space. Driver Looking for Parking GPS Azure Notification Hubs

64. INCREASING REVENUE… While examples are vending machines this applies for many other situations. Thing The use of Bluetooth Low Energy beacons allows vending machines to notify customers that they contain the snack or drink item the person is looking for as they walk by. A customer with a beacon-enabled smartphone with a beacon-aware app from the vending machine owner receives an advertisement from the beacon when walking near the vending machine. The smartphone app makes an API call to query the Azure SQL Database with the unique beacon identifier and the customer’s preferences. Bluetooth LE Beacon Remote telemetry containing inventory, sales, alarms, the unique beacon identifier and other status events is securely streamed over the Internet to Azure Event Hub, through Stream Analytics and inserted into Azure SQL Database. Azure SQL Database If the vending machine has a snack or drink the customer wants, it makes a standard or discount offer via the app and a sale is made. Thing Bluetooth LE Beacon $$
