California-based eInfochips, a provider of product engineering services, has teamed with Microsoft to develop EIC Propel that helps accelerate service delivery of Azure-based custom IoT projects.

The accelerator comprises a collection of configurable, field-hardened modules that perform, among other things, connectivity and device management, and data analytics and reporting. By engaging eInfochips for custom IoT development and deployment needs, users can realise savings in engineering efforts besides achieving faster time to market and better quality.

It leverages several key functionalities from Azure IoT. The front end is built on a micro frontends architecture and the backend on a microservices architecture.

Microsoft Azure is an expanding set of cloud services that let organisations build, test, deploy, secure and manage applications and services that have been leveraged extensively by the team.

“EIC Propel comes with several prebuilt modules to choose from, as per the industry use case,” said Santosh Shiva, head of partnerships for eInfochips, an Arrow Electronics subsidiary. “These can then be quickly configured and deployed in development, test and production environments. Our device to digital expertise spanning across IoT, cloud and devops, along with the newly launched offerings, helps our customers get to market faster.”

Michael Kuptz, general manager for IoT at Microsoft, added: “We are pleased that eInfochips is leveraging Microsoft Azure services to enable customers’ digital transformation at scale. EInfochips and Microsoft are working together to provide a variety of Azure-powered edge-to-cloud solutions that let customers seamlessly build, deploy and scale connected products.”
