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.
