Presentation: Pragmatic Digital Transformation, System Development and Operation in the IoT Landscape

Digital transformation enables organizations to leverage the IoT landscape to better understand their customers, products, and operations. This is to find opportunities for optimization and to effectively support value generation.

The system lifecycle should be viewed not from a linear or V-process point but from a DevOps perspective that goes beyond software and takes not only the overall physical asset but also its broad manufacturer and operator context into consideration. This allows additional insights on how to leverage data and reuse models not only during development processes but also while an asset is in productive use.

What capabilities, processes and skills would give you the capacity for creating perpetually upgradeable systems, which provide value to your customers and your organization? To answer the question: what capabilities, processes and skills would give you the capacity for creating perpetually upgradeable systems, which provide value to your customers and your organization?  

  • Shifting from visionary ambitions to practical projects.
  • Enabling your engineers and scientists to achieve your digital transformation objectives.
  • Learning new technologies, collaborating with unfamiliar groups, and proposing new products and services.
  • Systematically use data and models across groups and throughout the lifecycle of the offering.

Presentation: The powerful combination of Edge and API: an industry game-changer

Previously, Telco’s channelled their efforts into their core business: Network connectivity!

However, as the volume of data being processed across various locations within and beyond networks continues to rise, Telcos are now transitioning towards becoming a Telco as a Platform. The core of this transformation is two key elements: Edge Computing and the Exposure of Network Capabilities through APIs.

A combination of Edge and API yields the actual value of a Telco: end-to-end managed low latency, data sovereignty and scalability.

The content of this presentation will be focused on how this works and how it helps to solve customers’ problems.

Presentation: The Economics of Edge – How to Ensure a Cost-Effective Transformation

  • Edge-enabled enterprise transformation has the potential to accelerate delivery value, and reduce operational costs to ensure efficiency. 
  • How to evaluate edge performance to ensure it is a worthwhile investment for your organisation. 
  • The ongoing chicken and egg debate: Can we afford to wait for monetizable applications before making the investment needed to scale up edge infrastructure? 
  • Do the benefits of Edge outweigh the high financial cost of accelerating its deployment? 
  • To what extent do private cellular networks offer the solution to scale up the edge in strategic and commercial locations? 
  • Will the footprint of Edge infrastructure naturally grow in line with the deployment of 5G networks?

Presentation: The Connected Edge – Why Hyperscalers Can’t Make the Cut

Digital transformation enables more and more companies to experiment with the boundaries of the Cloud, the Edge, and everything in between.

This session will focus on the positioning of the edge in today’s evolving network architecture, and the attempt to transform the already well-known “cloud experience” to the edge, including:

  • Why today’s Edge isn’t the same as legacy On-Prem
  • How cloud providers are attempting to bring the cloud experience to the edge
  • How the Edge is Different from the Cloud
  • The keys to success at the Edge
  • The problem with Hyperscalers
  • Customer case study
  • The cost-effective connected edge

Presentation: Standardization of Alarm Management using the edge platform

Vopak has a standard for alarm management. In the past, the execution of this standard and the associated reporting was done by manual exercise using worksheets in Excel. With the introduction of the edge platform in the organisation – mainly introduced to standardize data integration between OT and IT – it became possible to automate the extraction of alarm and event data from the underlying control systems and standardize the output in dashboards. 

  • The edge platform is used as a standard data integration component between OT and IT systems 
  • Abstraction of underlying OT systems and vendors by standardizing interfaces and data exchange 
  • The alarm management process was automated using the edge platform and the alarm management dashboarding 
  • Data as a driver for process improvement
