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.

• Optimisation the supply chain – using Edge for data processing, collected from the IoT infrastructure.  
• Connectivity considerations – what connectivity solution works best for different infrastructures?  
• As we continue with contactless services, care drones lead the way for the future?  

• 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.
