The MDR system, an Internet of Things( IoT) device integrated into test vehicles’ networks, monitors more than 10,000 signals twice per second and the data transmits to a centralised cloud platform powered by Microsoft Azure’ s suite of AI services.
The implementation uses multiple Azure services, including Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI Service, to process the data.
The system includes an MDR copilot powered by GPT-4, accessed through a web application, which converts natural language queries into technical database searches.
Meanwhile, the system architecture also includes Azure IoT Hub for device management and Azure Databricks for data processing.
Both front-end and back-end services operate as microservices on Azure Kubernetes Service, providing responsive user interaction.
“ For our time-series analytics, Azure Data Explorer was the only way to go,” Sebastian says, referring to Microsoft’ s data analysis service that processes large volumes of streaming data.
