   Use IoT data to calculate common business metrics such as *overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)*  and *overall process effectiveness (OPE)*. You can also use IoT data to enrich your existing AI and ML assets. For example, IoT Central can help to capture the data you need to build, train, and deploy your models.
 
-  Use the IoT Central continuous data export feature to publish captured IoT data into an Azure data lake. Then use a connected to Azure Databricks workspace to compute OEE and OPE. Pipe the same data to Azure Machine Learning or Azure Synapse to use their machine learning capabilities.

 - Streaming computation, monitoring, and diagnostics
 
   IoT Central provides a scalable and reliable infrastructure to capture streaming data from hundreds of thousands of connected devices. Sometimes, you need to run stream computations over the hot or warm data paths to meet business requirements. You can also merge IoT data with data in external stores such as Azure Data explorer to provide enhanced diagnostics.
 
 - Analyze and visualize IoT data alongside business data
 
-  IoT Central provides feature-rich dashboards and visualizations. However, business-specific reports may require you to merge IoT data with existing business data sourced from external systems. Use the IoT Central integration features to extract IoT data from IoT Central. Then merge the IoT data with existing business data to deliver a centralized solution for analyzing and visualizing your business processes.
