IoT Accelerator

Model-driven IoT solution based on MS Azure Digital Twins

A Digital Twin leverages the Internet of Things (IoT) framework, to build a virtual representation of a real-world product, process or service. IoT sensors integrated with objects (e.g. industrial machines, cars, medical devices, wearables, embedded devices), capture data which indicates the health and performance of respective objects. The Digital Twins technology combines this data and builds a virtual representation that can help enterprises monitor and influence the way these objects function. This technology predicts process failure and will either automate corrective measures or send an alert for manual correction. The technology provides prompt insights about the way the product will function in the live environment and accelerates the product development cycle, with the goal of optimizing the user experience.

The Orion IoT Accelerator helps organizations set up and run a model-driven IoT solution based on the Azure Digital Twins platform. The solution offers the ability to monitor and manage remote devices and sensors via a customizable web client.

Features:

Dashboard with device location map, telemetry, and statistics
Device locations hierarchy
Device and sensor details
Rules definition with notifications by email
Alerts management
User roles and invites

The domain model is defined on Microsoft Digital Twins Definition Language (DTDL v2) version 2 and drives all parts of the solution including device IoT edge. The accelerator is based on .NET and JS/React technologies and supplied with an open-source code that includes Azure pipelines for automatic deployment and a model-driven device simulator.
