Factory Safety Agent in Copilot Studio
Factory personnel can use a low-code, customizable agent designed for factory personnel safety. This agent offers features to streamline safety audits and personalize safety training for the workforce.
Ingestion rate with Standard_S4 is 700 events/second.
Stream Ingestion
Ingestion rate with Standard_S2 is 200 events/second.
Telemetry data ingestion
For telemetry data, Equipment Property is tied with Equipment. Therefore, Equipment Property ID should be the unique/primary key of that twin.
Support of multiple tags for OPC UA data ingestion
For OPC UA, we now support multiple tags in the data payload.
OPC UA data ingestion improvements
For OPC UA, each Equipment Property twin is linked with a particular Equipment twin and ID is the PrimaryKey for Equipment Property. Note: Twin ID for Equipment Property is in the following format: <Equipment ID>_<Equipment Property ID>.
Updates to Open API specifications
The enum values now have the string representation of their values instead of the previous number representation. For details of updates to the API, see OpenAPI specifications.
