toradex partners with microsoft for iot workshop
DESCRIPTION
Toradex has partnered with Microsoft MTC Sao Paulo 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 Toradex’s Azure IoT Certified Colibri VF61, an embedded computer module featuring the NXP® Vybrid System-on-Chip (SoC) with ARM® Cortex®-A5 @ 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. It offers a great opportunity for the customer to see first-hand on how easy it is to create scalable IoT applications using Toradex’s embedded SoMs which are Azure Certified and the incredible resources Microsoft has developed for IoT under the Azure platform.

CHAIRMAN09 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.

CHAIRMAN
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 Toradex’s Azure IoT Certified Colibri VF61, an
embedded computer module featuring the NXP® Vybrid System-on-Chip (SoC) with
ARM® Cortex®-A5 @ 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.
Waldemir 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”.
Guilherme Fernandes, CEO of Toradex Brasil said, “This is a great opportunity to
show both Microsoft’s 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.
