Innovative IoT Terminals – The New Era of Industry with Microsoft Azure

In the age of digitization and automation, intelligent IoT solutions are the foundation of industrial transformation.

Modern IoT terminals enable seamless transmission of production data to the Microsoft Azure cloud, where the data is stored, processed, and used to generate reports in Power BI and PowerApps applications for operators. Below, we present how this solution works and the benefits of its implementation.

The Concept of Innovative IoT Terminals

IoT terminals, such as the proprietary product of Antdata – Antenso 2.0, are devices designed to collect and transmit data according to IoT standards. The terminal integrates the sensors selected by the client with Microsoft’s cloud services, enabling:

  • Automatic data collection from various sensors,
  • Transmission of information to databases and real-time processing,
  • Facilitation of monitoring production processes and resource management.

Integration with Microsoft Azure and Multiple Data Sources

Antenso 2.0 enables smooth connection to the Microsoft Azure cloud via advanced solutions that support:

  • Data Transmission: The terminal sends production data to the cloud, where it is stored in a SQL database for historical analysis and streamed for live analytics.
  • Processing in IoT Hub: The transmitted data is received and processed by IoT Hub, allowing for further use.
  • Integration with Power BI and PowerApps: Processed data feeds into Power BI reports and PowerApps applications, supporting operators in monitoring and managing production processes.
  • Connectivity: The device can be powered via DC power supply, PoE (Power over Ethernet), or battery, and can communicate with the network via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.

The integration diagram shows how the Antenso 2.0 terminal plays a key role in the Microsoft ecosystem, linking selected sensors to cloud services, leading to faster response times and process automation.

Benefits of Implementing the Solution

Implementing IoT terminals, such as Antenso 2.0, brings several tangible benefits:

  • Process Automation: Automatic data collection and processing eliminate the need for manual intervention, reducing the risk of errors.
  • Operational Optimization: Data streaming and real-time analytics enable quick responses to events and efficient process management.
  • Flexibility and Scalability: Compatibility with most available sensors and integration with Microsoft Azure services allows for easy scaling of the solution.
  • Security: The built-in security chip protects transmitted data from unauthorized access, ensuring secure authentication in the cloud.
  • Support for Edge Devices: Thanks to cooperation with Azure IoT Edge, data processing logic can be moved to local devices, enabling faster analysis and response to events.
