In today’s post, we are going to set up “Connected Field Service” with Azure IoT Hub. A quick recap from the last two posts: Pre-Requisites Above could be trial instances and may not necessarily need to be on the same tenant. In other words, this setup will work even if you have Azure and Dynamics 365 on two different tenants. Side note: this second point is really cool because it takes away the dependency of…
Whenever I talk to customers or within #Dynamics365 community, one of the most FAQs is about IoT (Internet of Things). Nothing garners as much interest as this one. Is IoT just a buzzword or a reality? How does it work with Field Service – or why in the first place IoT has anything to do with Field Service? Does it require any specialized skill set? I intend to cover all about IoT and Dynamics 365…
Quality audit is part of a work management life cycle in most Field Service organizations. To ensure customers are satisfied, equipment is up and running, and there are no SLA breaches, a quality audit is conducted in all or statistically sampled work orders. This often means creating another booking, or a task, or creating a follow-up work order for quality check and of course additional resource requirements – but is there a smarter solution possible…
The idea of this article is to experiment with AI Builder to develop an app for self-assessment of heart-related diseases. An AI-powered based app could tap into historical data and identify patterns, and then use them to assess the user’s entered data to predict if there is a risk of heart diseases or not. The app is not to be used for medical advice or prescription, rather this is an experiment to use Prediction model…
Counting the number of people in a photo or video feed is one of the interesting problems in the world of AI, and for a good reason because “number of people/given area” is a useful metric for number of practice purposes. For example: Also worth mentioning, like any other use of AI models, this is an area where functioning under the theme of AI for good is very important. Data and tool To experiment how…
This is a part-fun and part-experimenting AI Builder article. Microsoft released 2020 Release Wave 1 Plan for Power Platform back in January. It is full of exciting stuff; all the new features, enhancements and updates planned circa April this year — and it is long read; 149 pages to be exact. Now, what if we could run some sort of ‘smart algo’ on this document to identify all the keywords (oft-repeated words) in it! This…
A common scenario in most of the businesses is for employees to collect their receipts of the expenses made and then submit expenses along with receipts at the end of the month (or week/fortnight) for reimbursement. This creates a long queue (aka processing time and possible delay in processing) for HR/accounts team to review each receipt for approval. In this article, I have experimented with AI Builder to see if it can help in making…
