Build your own digital twin in no time!

Key Features

• Build and design simple to complex digital twins solutions
• Create end-to-end solutions with Azure Digital Twins
• Integrate the Azure Digital Twins service with other Azure services to provide even richer solutions

Book Description

In today’s world, clients are using more and more IoT sensors to monitor their business processes and assets. Think about collecting information such as pressure in an engine, the temperature, or a light switch being turned on or off in a room. The data collected can be used to create smart solutions for predicting future trends, creating simulations, and drawing insights using visualizations. This makes it beneficial for organizations to make digital twins, which are digital replicas of the real environment, to support these smart solutions.

This book will help you understand the concept of digital twins and how it can be implemented using an Azure service called Azure Digital Twins. Starting with the requirements and installation of the Azure Digital Twins service, the book will explain the definition language used for modeling digital twins. From there, you'll go through each step of building digital twins using Azure Digital Twins and learn about the different SDKs and APIs and how to use them with several Azure services. Finally, you'll learn how digital twins can be used in practice with the help of several real-world scenarios.

By the end of this book, you'll be confident in building and designing digital twins and integrating them with various Azure services.

What you will learn

• Understand the concept and architecture of Azure Digital Twins
• Get to grips with installing and configuring the service and required tools
• Understand the Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL) and digital twin models
• Explore the APIs and SDKs available to access the Azure Digital Twins services
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and secure digital twins
• Discover how to build, design, and integrate applications with various Azure services
• Explore real-life scenarios with Azure Digital Twins

Who this book is for

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alexander Meijers is a professional who inspires, motivates, and supports others and helps them to innovate. His goal is to help organizations achieve more by creating, improving, and working smarter, with the aim of shortening business processes and improving the environment for employees.As global XR technology lead and Microsoft Windows MVP for mixed reality, working for Avanade, he understands business issues and translates them into logical solutions using technology. Additionally, he supports companies in applying emerging experiences during their digital transition journey.He works with technologies such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, in combination with cloud services including mixed reality services, Azure Digital Twins, and IoT, from the Microsoft Azure platform, Office 365, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365.His primary focus is manufacturing, utilities, and the engineering and construction sector. However, he certainly does not stay away from other sectors.He engages in speaking, writing books, blogging, and is an organizer of local and global events such as the Mixed Reality User Group in the Netherlands, and Global XR Talks and the Global XR Conference, both part of the GlobalXR.Community.In the last few months, he has designed and implemented a solution. Data is collected from IoT and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service. An Azure Digital Twins service is built up dynamically by using Azure Functions, Azure Service Bus, and Logic Apps. A 3D visual is generated by using Microsoft HoloLens 2 as an augmentation device.Since January 2018, he has been a Windows Development MVP for the Mixed Reality category.
