Ask The IoT Expert: Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
Have you ever run into questions when building an internet-connected smart display/kiosk, gateway, or robotics device using Windows 10 IoT Enterprise? Today, in celebration of #JulyOT, I’ll be ready to discuss or answer any questions you might have around how to use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise to build the foundation for your intelligent edge devices in our Ask The Expert series. As a Program Manager on Microsoft Windows IoT Team, I spend my days talking to customers, getting feedback, and building products to enable the next generation of embedded silicon and Internet of Things devices. Now, I want to share that knowledge with you! Just last week we released an IoT Deep Dive to showcase how to build secure cloud-connected IoT solutions with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. In the video Henry Fieglein from Dover Fueling Solutions described their real world solution which delivers personalized experiences in content and targeted advertising right at the gas pump; Amelia Casciola gave viewers a sneak peek of our new ARM64 support in her technical demo; and I showcased what’s next for Windows for IoT & answering the top questions from the community. (Raspberry Pi, vNext, etc). You can watch that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4na4RpxlnIw. Then, come back and comment with your questions! I wanted to share a question I recently received around how to build these IoT solutions with a lower Bill of Materials cost. I thought it was interesting because it highlights the growing move of the industry to create more accessible and cost-efficient IoT solutions. The answer I shared was that enabling new smaller silicon, like the Qualcomm SDM850 or NXP i.MX 8M, with more powerful operating systems, like Windows IoT Enterprise, can truly help to democratize access to IoT solutions for all. Let me know your thoughts and, as always, share any questions you have on this topic or others. I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas and questions – please post them as comments and I’ll do my best to help you answer them!

Secure transmission of data from devices in the field can be challenging depending on the business environment. What do you do if you have a need to create an IoT Solution that operates on an offshore oil rig? How do you securely transmit data from devices that may have been installed over a decade ago? This month we’re starting off the Ask the IoT expert series focusing on IoT and security. We are looking for your questions and ideas and we’ll respond, so go ahead and ask us anything! My name is Martin Tuip and I’m the worldwide Azure IoT Security and Windows IoT Marketing Lead at Microsoft and joined by a team of Microsoft IoT experts to answer any questions you may have regarding this topic: Arjmand Samuel (all up IoT security expert), Eustace Asanghanwa (security at the edge expert) Nicole Berdy (all things DPS and more) and Ramit Malhotra (all up IoT security and certificates expert). If you have any questions regarding IoT security, please leave them as comments in this very discussion and one of us will be here to answer it. To make this Ask the IoT Expert globally inclusive the Q&A will play out in this post and last for the whole month of September. You can also count on us leaving hints and tips throughout the month in this post. Developers, we’re looking forward to your questions – please ask away!

Are you running into questions while working on projects built around Azure Sphere and embedded hardware like the Raspberry Pi? Do you have ideas that you want to share around IoT security in general or the projects you are working on? Today we are kicking off an Ask The Expert series where a variety of Microsoft Azure IoT experts will be starting a conversation to answer any questions you may have. This week I’m leading the #JulyOT conversation where we are showcasing content on building projects using Azure Internet of Things services, specifically having to do with microcontrollers and embedded hardware. I’m Dave Glover, a Cloud Developer Advocate, based in Sydney, Australia, with a focus on the Internet of Things. I’m fascinated by the possibilities of embedded, communications, AI, and cloud technologies. I am known to dream in C/C++, C# and Python, and I post on GitHub at https://github.com/gloveboxes, everything is Open Source with an MIT licence. What has captured my attention is embedded development with Azure Sphere as it addresses IoT security. IoT security is without a doubt the biggest challenge facing the IoT industry and often the most overlooked. IoT solutions built on Azure Sphere are secure by default enabling you to focus on your business opportunity with confidence knowing that security is baked in. I wrote the Azure Sphere Developer Learning Path which is now published on MS Learn: “Develop secure IoT Solutions for Azure Sphere with IoT Central” and “Develop secure IoT Solutions for Azure Sphere with IoT Hub”. I learned a lot of lessons and you will find my learnings and best practices embedded in the MS Learn modules. I’ve also just published two “embedded” articles as part of #JulyOT. Both expand on the Azure Sphere Developer Learning path. The topics might be a bit cheesy, but the objective is to illustrate how you can build secure IoT solutions with Azure Sphere and Azure IoT. How to build a healthier working environment by monitoring CO2, temperature, and humidity levels with an Azure Sphere, an SDC30 sensor, and Azure IoT Central Build a Rover combining the best of Azure Sphere security with FreeRTOS I’m looking forward to hearing your ideas and questions – please post them as comments and I’ll do my best to help you answer them! Cheers DaveAsk the IoT Expert: Computer Vision based AI Workloads at the Edge
Recent advances in artificial intelligence allow computers the ability to identify objects within image data and video streams in near real-time. This concept, referred to as “Computer Vision” is now more accessible than ever before, with the advent of services like CustomVision.AI that can allow you to train custom object detection models by providing sample images of the objects of interest. As computer power is increasing, it is unlocking the ability run accelerated computer vision workloads on small form-factor IoT devices. This opens the door to a wave of AI powered solutions which can perform vision related tasks without the need for heavy computational resources located off-site. This paradigm is often referred to as the Artificial Intelligence of Things or AIOT. Applications of AIOT can provide benefit to practically any physical space (factories, smart cities, office space etc.) by allowing for solutions that can detect anomalies, alert on visual cues, and provide insight into the environment by using camera feeds as a new means of sensor input operated on by Computer Vision algorithms. My name is Paul DeCarlo, Principal Cloud Developer Advocate at Microsoft, with a focus on Internet of Things solutions and the application of Computer Vision concepts within Edge environments. I have a passion for sharing how to design and develop AIOT solutions with broad audiences and often do so in the form of developer livestreams and the creation of online training materials. Are you interested in learning more about how Computer Vision workloads might work for you or are you interested in exploring the field to understand what is currently possible? I am here to answer any and all questions that you might have regarding the topic from all levels, whether you have a specific question on how to implement the appropriate computer vision algorithm to solve a problem for your line of business or if you are interested in where to get started from a beginner perspective. I will be monitoring this forum throughout the month of October and look forward to helping answer your questions as they arise. If you have any questions regarding Computer Vision based AI Workloads at the Edge, please leave them as comments in this very discussion and either myself or members of the community will be on hand to provide you with answers. To make this Ask the IoT Expert globally inclusive the Q&A will play out in this post and last for the whole month of October.Welcome to the Learn IoT Conversation Space!
