The Preview demo environment contains a scenario company, Contoso, that operates two wind turbine farms, each with 10 turbines. Each turbine has 20 sensors that report data every minute to Azure IoT Hub. The sensors gather information about weather conditions, blade pitch, and yaw position. Also, generator performance, gearbox behavior, and safety monitors.
