The scripts provide a complete example of how to use PowerShell to build a base image, as well as how to configure, service, update and deploying the image. The quick start guide on the GitHub repo should get the partner started. The advanced topics show scenarios on how to extend the framework even further.

Case Studies

Azure IoT
Schneider	“Azure Machine Learning gave us the powerful intelligence we need, as well as flexible model management capabilities and IoT Edge provided an easy way to package and deploy our Machine Learning applications. Traditionally, machine learning is something that has only run in the cloud, but for many IoT scenarios that isn’t good enough, because you want to run your application as close as possible to any events. Now we have the flexibility to run it in the cloud or at the edge—wherever we need it to be.” - Matt Boujonnier, Analytics Application Architect for Schneider Electric
ExxonMobil	“The devices are self-registering and self-healing in case of power or connectivity issues, which is important in the Permian Basin where we’re using solar power and electrical interruptions are not uncommon. We have devices that can lose connectivity more than 50 times a day, but because of our setup, we’re still able to capture that data and send it to the cloud.” - David Baumgarten, Lead Architect at XTO Energy
Buhler	“Now we can have a subscription model and charge at different rates, depending on whether we are sorting or monitoring. And without that connection [to the cloud], we wouldn’t really be able to do that.” “It’s a new revenue stream for Bühler, but it also offers our customers the opportunity to get this technology at a much lower initial cost,” -Ben Deefholts, Senior Research Engineer for Buhler

Windows IoT (with Azure)
TurboMate by Askey	“TurboMate is small, easy to use and manage, and affordable. And with Windows 10 IoT Core and cloud services like Azure IoT Hub, customers don’t have to maintain a complicated IT infrastructure…. So businesses are more willing to adopt the solution, and we’re able to penetrate certain markets much easier than we did before.” -George Lee, Sales and Product Development Manager at Askey
Cocktail-Boosters Keith & Koep and Gastromatix	“What makes the solution special is that we can provide customers with a complete infrastructure, including the device and cloud-based accounting services, and it’s very secure and scalable. That’s the big draw of using Windows 10 IoT with Azure.” -Thomas Schanko, Head of Software Development at Gastromatix
GLAS smart thermostat by Johnson Controls	“Security is a key factor for us as we follow this trend of integrating more solutions into on-premises equipment and putting processing power wherever it makes the most sense—whether it’s on the device or the cloud. One of the reasons we selected the Microsoft platform is the ability to connect Windows 10 IoT Core with Azure and ensure secure connections.” -Pat Mulcahy, General Manager, Thermostats and Sensors at Johnson Controls

IoT Enterprise Labs

IoT Enterprise Deployment framework


IoT Enterprise Labs	The labs on docs.microsoft.com are targeted at new device OEMs who may be brand new to Windows deployment. As we all know, there are a lot of great tools and methods to deploying Windows, but it can be daunting figuring out where to start if you are new to the Windows ecosystem. This set of labs is intended to walk the partner through some basic scenarios and get them thinking about what it takes to build a Windows image. After completing all the labs the partner will have been exposed to the major aspects of the build, configuration, servicing and deployment processes.
IoT Enterprise Deployment framework	The deployment framework on GitHub is targeted toward device OEMs who want to automate the process of building, managing and deploying Windows images. The scripts provide a complete example of how to use PowerShell to build a base image, as well as how to configure, service, update and deploying the image. The quick start guide on the GitHub repo should get the partner started. The advanced topics show scenarios on how to extend the framework even further.

Case Studies

Azure IoT
Schneider	“Azure Machine Learning gave us the powerful intelligence we need, as well as flexible model management capabilities and IoT Edge provided an easy way to package and deploy our Machine Learning applications. Traditionally, machine learning is something that has only run in the cloud, but for many IoT scenarios that isn’t good enough, because you want to run your application as close as possible to any events. Now we have the flexibility to run it in the cloud or at the edge—wherever we need it to be.” - Matt Boujonnier, Analytics Application Architect for Schneider Electric
ExxonMobil	“The devices are self-registering and self-healing in case of power or connectivity issues, which is important in the Permian Basin where we’re using solar power and electrical interruptions are not uncommon. We have devices that can lose connectivity more than 50 times a day, but because of our setup, we’re still able to capture that data and send it to the cloud.” - David Baumgarten, Lead Architect at XTO Energy
Buhler	“Now we can have a subscription model and charge at different rates, depending on whether we are sorting or monitoring. And without that connection [to the cloud], we wouldn’t really be able to do that.” “It’s a new revenue stream for Bühler, but it also offers our customers the opportunity to get this technology at a much lower initial cost,” -Ben Deefholts, Senior Research Engineer for Buhler

Windows IoT (with Azure)
TurboMate by Askey	“TurboMate is small, easy to use and manage, and affordable. And with Windows 10 IoT Core and cloud services like Azure IoT Hub, customers don’t have to maintain a complicated IT infrastructure…. So businesses are more willing to adopt the solution, and we’re able to penetrate certain markets much easier than we did before.” -George Lee, Sales and Product Development Manager at Askey
Cocktail-Boosters Keith & Koep and Gastromatix	“What makes the solution special is that we can provide customers with a complete infrastructure, including the device and cloud-based accounting services, and it’s very secure and scalable. That’s the big draw of using Windows 10 IoT with Azure.” -Thomas Schanko, Head of Software Development at Gastromatix
GLAS smart thermostat by Johnson Controls	“Security is a key factor for us as we follow this trend of integrating more solutions into on-premises equipment and putting processing power wherever it makes the most sense—whether it’s on the device or the cloud. One of the reasons we selected the Microsoft platform is the ability to connect Windows 10 IoT Core with Azure and ensure secure connections.” -Pat Mulcahy, General Manager, Thermostats and Sensors at Johnson Controls
