IoT Innovations Day 1 - Virtual

• Mass data analysis – how to make the most of your insights and contextualise the data before it goes stale. 
• Making data interoperable to utilise insights across silos.   
• A global shift to remote management and more predictive and pro-active solutions – how IoT is the answer.  
• Comparing multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, open platform approaches – understanding the best approach and analysing a ‘future focus’. 

• Digital starts with data but it needs a holistic approach.
• We’ll show how we arrive to a “AI-Readiness” Company Program, based on: People, Technology, Ecosystem, Governance, Business.
• Examples of enterprise-wide value creation: our Smart Innovative Operations program e.g. predictive maintenance, detecting energy drifts, optimization through a digital twin etc.
• What perspectives and other use cases for Air Liquide and the Industry.

• IoT vendors are required and expected to provide solutions that are not vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Failing to do so can result in physical, financial, reputation damage.
• Providing secure solutions is easier said than done as often there is lack of in-house security expertise and software stacks are not in full control of the vendors.
• In this session Oded Gonda, VP of Technology & Innovation at Check Point, will describe the risks, challenges and possible solutions for providing secure solutions in a cost-effective way.

IoT can help companies modernize their supply chains by streaming events between connected devices and back-office applications in real-time. We help some of the world’s leading automakers, manufacturers, and transportation and logistics companies do so with event-driven architecture. Swen-Helge Huber, Director and Principal Architect IoT at Solace, will explain how AsyncAPI makes it easier to build event-driven IoT systems in context of a supply chain case study so architects and developers can see how EDA can be as simple as using synchronous REST APIs.

• A security first approach – how to secure old and new infrastructures to build a cyber secure eco-system. 
• Vulnerabilities – how to spot them and how to combat them.    
• The constant battle of staying secure in an ever-adapting digital world.  
• Industry collaborations for improved security solutions and standards. 

• Understanding technology collision – a look at when old meets new.
• The pitfalls automation users are facing now and the role of technology convergence.
• Why we have security threats on our automation systems and tips to prevent them.
• A holistic look at the latest automation technology trends.

In the next 4 years, more than 50% of enterprise applications will be  IoT -enabled.  

To make this digital transformation possible, enterprise networks can help solving two industry problems : 

• First and foremost, connected objects are insecure by design, since they can’t run any security software, and therefore open doors on networks.  
• Secondly, each IoT vendors has its own management platform. Enterprise IT cannot afford to manage such multiplicity of platforms.  

Only simple, automated and secure network solutions can manage the scale of the problems as well as deliver analytics and features like the tracking of assets, quality of experience or home automation. 

• Why cellular IoT is difficult. 
• How to overcome permanent roaming challenges.  
• The value of 1% additional connectivity and device uptime. 
• Why a single, private, and reliable virtual network is key to deployment success. 
• Customer success story: how Eseye helped Costa Express scale globally with near 100% uptime. 

• Current state of IoT platforms: what existing platforms fail to address?
• The problem of costs for data transport, latency and security.
• How do you trust and secure data, which is coming from so many different unsecured system?
• Who owns the data from machines?
• How to connect existing business systems and solutions to your IoT data.
• Weeve Platform allows you to collect and store unstructured data in a way that’s accessible and manageable.
