Innovate and modernize apps with Data and AI

Workshop

In this workshop, you will look at the process of implementing a modern application with Azure services. The workshop will cover event sourcing and the Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern, data loading, data preparation, data transformation, data serving, anomaly detection, creation of a predictive maintenance model, and real-time scoring of a predictive maintenance model.

Whiteboard Design Session

In this whiteboard design session, you will work with a group to design a solution for ingesting and preparing manufacturing device sensor data, as well as detecting anomalies in sensor data and creating, training, and deploying a machine learning model which can predict when device maintenance will become necessary.

At the end of this whiteboard design session, you will have learned how to capture Internet of Things (IoT) device data with Azure IoT Hub, process device data with Azure Stream Analytics, apply the Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) pattern with Azure Functions, build a predictive maintenance model using Azure Synapse Analytics Spark notebooks, deploy the model to an Azure Machine Learning model registry, deploy the model to an Azure Container Instance, and generate predictions with Azure Functions accessing a Cosmos DB change feed. These skills will help you modernize applications and integrate Artificial Intelligence into the application.

Hands-on Lab

In this hands-on-lab, you will build a cloud processing and machine learning solution for IoT data. We will begin by deploying a factory load simulator using Azure IoT Edge to write into Azure IoT Hub, following the recommendations in the Azure IoT reference architecture. The data in this simulator represents sensor data collected from a stamping press machine, which cuts, shapes, and imprints sheet metal. The rest of the lab will show how to implement an event sourcing architecture using Azure technologies ranging from Cosmos DB to Stream Analytics to Azure Functions to Azure Database for PostgreSQL.

Using factory-generated data, you will learn how to use the Anomaly Detection service built into Stream Analytics to observe and report on abnormal machine temperature readings. You will also learn how to apply historical machine temperature and stamping pressure values in the creation of a machine learning model to identify potential issues which might require machine adjustment. You will deploy this predictive maintenance model and generate predictions on simulated stamp press data.
