Abstract
A virtual burn rack monitor accesses messages posted to a cloud-based service. Each message provides any informational content sent from a device. The virtual burn rack monitor downloads the message and determines a manufacturing environment for the device. For example, the virtual burn rack monitor uses a hardware identifier of the device to a customer's configuration service. Once the customer is determined, the cloud-based service sends the message to the manufacturing environment assigned to, or associated with, the customer. The message may, as another example, be forwarded or sent to a burn rack operating within a manufacturing facility that is assigned to that customer. The message may thus be displayed to technicians and other personnel on the manufacturing floor. So, even though the device is remotely located from the manufacturing facility, the device may update the technicians as to its status and operating conditions.
