Using IoT to bring Equipment as a Service to a large city in North America
Many legacy systems are facing the challenges of Industry 4.0 and how to integrate their equipment with IT and the Cloud. This study presents how a large city in North America hired a systems integrator to integrate 120 water pumps, PLCs, and large sludge dewatering equipment with Azure IoT cloud for real-time dashboards, analytics, and machine learning. City managers use this information to shift from large capital purchases to an Equipment as a Service model based on actual usage fees. Using low-code, edge computing paradigms, this solution was designed and implemented in record time.
