>> Hello. My name is David Sanchez.
I'm a Senior Program Manager in the Azure Maps Team.
In this session, I'm going to cover
Azure Maps Creator to leverage
indoor mapping capabilities into your applications.
As far as the agenda of this session,
I'm going to do an introduction of Azure Maps,
cover what is Azure Maps Creator.
I'm going to talk about the
Creator Capabilities and Roadmap.
I'm going to do a deep dive on Azure Maps Creator.
I'm going to share some resources with
you and of course, we are going to do a demo.
Every company is a software company and
almost every application needs location capabilities.
Could be for search an address, validate an address,
get the IP location,
or just embed a map controlling via
the application or other
use cases that we are going to explore in this session.
Microsoft has been working with
mapping for over 20 years.
These are some of the products and services that are
powered by the Bing maps on the consumer side,
and Azure Maps on the enterprise side.
Even the Microsoft Flight Simulator is being
powered by the Microsoft mapping services.
But what is Azure Maps?
Azure Maps is a set of
geo-location APIs that enables developers like you
to embed geo-location capabilities
and geo-location intelligence into your applications.
Azure Maps is built on top of
strong partnerships with companies like
TomTom or AccuWeather to bring
these features and the services that
you need for your applications.
Now let's explore some of the features and
capabilities that you can get as part of the Azure Maps.
First, we have the map rendering control.
This allows you to get
satellite imagers and map images into your applications.
Next, we have the SDKs.
We have the web and mobile SDKs to
integrate your Azure maps into your applications.
Also, you get Routing.
From a multi-algorithm routing
could be through batch routing and matrix routing,
or even just get one point to another.
Next, we have Search.
This service provides you
the find capabilities to look for address,
point of interest or just
look for multiple addresses in a batch.
We also have Spatial Operations to create your fencing,
measuring distance between points,
or even leverage polygon points.
Next, you can get real-time traffic flow that is
updated every minute and
it provides you incident details.
If you need to get the time zone
by some specific location,
you can do that through Azure Maps.
If you need to get the IP location,
you can use the geolocation service to
get location from users through the IPs.
Weather service is one of the services that we
announced GA last month and you can
get not only historical data and the current data
but also the forecast for up to 45 days.
Next, we have the elevation service.
These have pole-to-pole coverage.
You can get different kind of elevations,
could be in a route or some specific part of the map.
Last but not least, we have the Power BI integration.
Actually, if you are using Power BI,
you're an existing customer of Azure Maps.
But this session is about Azure Maps Creator.
What is Azure Maps Creator?
This service provides the capability to secure
and scale your private indoor map data.
Through map provisioning services,
you can create, host, edit,
and modify what you need from your CAD files,
which are provided by your engineering or
architectural team to host it in Azure Maps.
We also have the map utilization service.
This service provides you the rendering
and rich visualization of the indoor maps that you have.
You can also get feature state.
This will provide the integration with
IoT solutions to visualize
the devices and sensors that you have in your building.
We also have the spatial data query API,
which is based on the
Open Geospatial Consortium standards.
Last but not least, you also have
the developer tools for indoor maps,
floor picker, and the integration of
indoor with outdoor capabilities.
But before continue talking
about author Azure Maps Creator,
I'm excited to announce
the general availability of Azure Maps Creator.
You can read more about
this announcement in the link
that I'm sharing in the video.
What are the capabilities that you
can get as part of Azure Maps?
As I said before,
you can leverage the Azure Maps services
into your Azure Maps Creator account.
You get your own private maps in
Azure integrated with the Maps Control and the SDKs.
Also, you can use the routing and search capabilities,
which will happen post the general availability.
Last but not least, we also have the integration
with Power BI to visualize
indoor mapping in your dashboards
and reports in Power BI.
Also, we have the smart building solutions.
During the past years,
most industries have been working
harder on the COVID challenge,
from keeping workers safe,
managing logistics, and constantly evolving guidelines to
acceleration of the automation and
monitoring for buildings and different solutions.
The role of Creator in
such a time has been crucial and stretched our
original design goal in order to be applied
with different variety of
technologies in many industries.
For energy management,
space utilization or even
provide a better occupant experience,
measuring social distance, face mask, and so on.
This can help many facility management teams
to operate more efficiently the energy in the buildings.
These are some of the
supported smart building solution experience.
You can have indoor map data management,
live map visualization,
and you can get also occupant experience.
To find a room,
get who is assigned to each office,
book a table in a restaurant,
book a seat in an airplane,
or book a seat in a movie theater.
Here are other use cases for smart building solutions.
As I mentioned before, this is a great use for
facility managers to query
the capability of the meeting rooms,
and this will rely on IoT data to get
the sensors' data and devices that are on each room.
We also have asset tracking to
provide tracking of devices and define,
monitor geofences in your buildings.
This can help you to trigger business logic,
for example, in a lavatory or in a meeting room.
We are working on a feature to provide
users search and also routing indoor mapping.
This will happen post the general availability.
It's a feature called Wayfinding and it can help you to
provide users what is
the fastest route to one point to another.
You can also leverage
Azure Maps services as
part of the integration with Azure Maps Creator.
One example of this is the weather service.
This can provide the weather forecast
to improve the energy efficiency.
For example, if it is cold outside,
there is no need to run the air conditioner system in
the building so it can automatically turn off.
Now, let's do a deep dive on
how the indoor mapping provisioning service works.
First, we have the Drawing Package.
The Drawing Package is uploaded through the Data Service.
This will execute the conversion
using the Conversion service.
It will store it in a validated blob
with the schemas and the conversion file.
Next, you can create the Dataset service.
This will store a copy of your record
and next you can leverage the Tileset service.
This will use the tiles for rendering as long as
the Feature State service to get runtime map properties,
such as if the room is busy,
it's free, it's booked, and so on.
In the back-end, this will run Cloud services to provide
the different APIs and services that you
need as part of your indoor mapping.
When we talk about the Consumption services,
you can use the OGC Feature API to access the dataset.
You can access the Render API to render maps controls.
You can use the search to look for a room.
You can use the route API to get
the route from one point to another and
also you can use the Feature State API
to get data from the different devices,
such as occupancy, temperature, and so on.
This solution can integrate with Azure Digital Twins.
Azure Maps Creator provides the visualization
of the different devices that
are connected to the digital twins,
such as thermostat sensors, occupancy sensors,
and it can trigger also
alerts based on your business logic.
Now let's do a demo of live map visualization.
Here we have the Azure Map.
As you can see, it's like
any other map control that we are seeing.
The only difference is if I zoom in,
in the Microsoft campus,
I wiII be able to see
the indoor mapping using my private map data.
This is one of the buildings that we have in
the campus and from here,
you can see, for example,
we have an alarm.
This is an alarm that a
backdoor is open in this building.
I can select a room
and I can get the information of this room.
Also, I can get the temperature outside
the building and I
can navigate through the different floors.
As part of the configuration that I
have for this solution,
I have the integration with
IoT sensors to get the temperature of this room.
I can customize the style
using the temperature that I have in this table.
Also, I can enable the weather outside the building.
Now I am getting
the real-time weather service
and I can enable the occupancy as well.
I can set up custom alerts based on occupancy,
temperature, or even the weather outside the building.
I can do this for other buildings in
the same region or even in different countries.
Last but not least,
I'd like to share with you the Azure Maps code samples.
These are almost all the features
that we have available in Azure Maps.
You can take a look at the animations,
map controls, routing, search, and more.
Actually, if I look for Creator here,
I will see a demo right here.
You can run this sample in
the browser or you can take a look at the source code.
This will redirect you to GitHub.
This demo is open source and you can access
it through GitHub in
the link that I'm sharing in the presentation.
It is a very complete scenario where you
have integrated not only IoT but
also Azure Maps Creator to visualize
the different sensors and data coming from those devices.
Next, I'd like to share some of
the resources we have available in case
you want to get started with
Azure Maps and Azure Maps Creator right now.
Here you can find the blog,
you can find the tech blog,
you can find sample demos,
and you can also find other content like
videos or customer stories.
Thank you very much for your attention and for watching.
I'm looking forward to see
what you are building using Azure Maps Creator.
