Event monitoring and observability for industrial systems on azure cloud

Cloud computing is a paradigm shift transforming data processing, communications and storage. It offers a cost-effective method that facilitates real-time data collection, storage and exchange by providing services such as compute, processing, storage and networking. This allows customers and enterprises to access any data or application from anywhere in the world over an Internet connection. This computation and availability model is a perfect fit for critical industrial applications such as power generation. The number and types of deployed sensors is on the increase requiring large scale storage, networking, and processing available on cloud platforms. We developed an Azure based application that generates a motion triggered event notification and provides access to the live video stream of the event location. The event is also recorded in a database and an email alert is sent to the subscribed operator. The implementation shows the importance of such systems for industrial applications requiring timely access to information.
