In this process activity it is important for the user to integrate devices with sensors to the IoT Business Connector so that the sensors can gather data and send to the Discovery environment where it is picked up by the IoT Gateway and then directed to the IFS back-end systems. IoT begins with devices or communication objects generating some form of data. The data can be everything from sensor measurements to web browser click patterns of users. The number of different asset types that can generate data is massive and can be vary widely from an aircraft to an oil pipeline. The single sensor on an asset can send data individually as well as the asset might group its sensor data and send a collection of measurements to the next step. The capabilities of devices vary a lot. Microsoft provides SDKs to connect to an IoT Hub in .NET, C, Java and Node.js. But any device that can handle HTTPS protocol should be able to send data to an IoT Hub.
