Episode Details: Deep Dive into Azure Digital Twins with Sam George:
”When you walk into a building and think about it from an IoT point of view. You don’t think about it in terms of there are a thousand devices in the building and I’m going to connect to them and predict their maintenance and optimize their operation. Instead, the thing you really want to understand is the building, not the individual devices”
