'Azure IOT Asset inventory track
We have a requirement to track the physical assets like printer,laptops (part of inventory list) for all users in our organization in real time. In recent times,there are cases of missing laptops and theft and since we don't have a database to track, we don't have information on who is owning which laptop. We would like to have a proper governance in place to achieve this. Can we use an Azure IOT workflow in conjunction with Azure cognitive analytics capabilities/Azure eventHub to get some real time data and any reference architectures which can guide to implement this complete project.
