Manufacturing and the Internet of things (IoT) go hand-in-hand. At the Hannover Messe industrial technology conference in Germany, Microsoft and select partner companies are demonstrating how Windows 10 can help enable intelligent, IoT-enabled business processes for factories, equipment makers and suppliers.
Complementing the company’s new cloud-based Azure IoT device management capabilities and the Azure IoT Gateway SDK (software development kit), also announced this week, Microsoft enlisted some technology partners, including Dell, to introduce Windows-based devices for connected enterprises. Dell’s contribution is the new Dell Edge Gateway 5100 running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise.
