Applied IoT, Analytics & 5G

Chairpersons welcome and opening remarks. 

To follow soon …

The IoT connectivity landscape is evolving. We see 3G networks being turned off and newer low power options including NB-IoT and LTE-M coming into the spotlight but are they too good to be true?  In this session we will examine the technical and commercial trade-offs to be made between low power, operational efficiency and cost of ownership and show how some smart connectivity choices can create better all round IoT solutions which will be more resilient, future-proof, scalable and secure.

• Digitalising the factory floor – getting the digital transformation steps right to implement fully autonomous processes.  
• AI, ML, automation, digital twin – knowing where these technologies come into play to optimise processes.  
• Leveraging predictive analytics to stay ahead of potential errors or failures.  
• A sustainable focus on products and services – the advantages of a circular economy approach.  

• Introducing new business models with PoC in 6 months, achieved with the digital twin concept.
• Shoe-as-a-Service – real business case of a special-purpose shoes manufacturer.
• The role of operational data-sharing in building an ecosystem of collaborating partners.
• Going through the digital transformation without becoming an IT company.

Enterprise and public sector digital transformation based on IoT is the key to competitive advantage and/or stronger productivity. However large-scale deployments of IoT put IT under heavy pressure in terms of workload and cybersecurity.

What if there is a way to unleash massive IoT usage, simplify IT, and give a common language to IT and Operations?

Join this session to learn how Network Automation integrated with modern Collaboration Platforms change the digital transformation game.

How Johnson & Johnson is transforming internally to better understand consumer experience with our products, now that we have available lots of information channels that were never so easy to obtain, but also so challenging to integrate with internal data. How we can combine all the data available and convert it into valuable business insights. Our traditional consumer channels, Mass Market (with leading brands like Neutrogena, Johnson’s Baby, Aveeno…) and Pharmacy (Tylenol, Nicorette, Calpol…) are evolving at different speed levels and managing their integration is also complex.

In the realm where Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and 5G coexist, there is quite a bit of anticipation for the extraordinary technologies that are being crafted today and envisaged for the next few years.

One facet that is slowly gaining recognition is the importance of edge computing. As more devices are connected to the cloud — and IoT systems progress in a ready-or-not fashion — edge computing brings with new challenges and requires new solutions.

Join Cradlepoint’s Andy Sawyer,  System Engineering Manager, as he discusses Secure 5G Wireless Connectivity for enterprise IOT, including:

• How Containerised Edge Compute streamlines workloads
• New solutions involving Talking Robots and Programmable Logic Controllers
• What is AI – myth versus reality?

The LEGO Group has made a conscious decision to heavily invest in upping their game in digital product development, putting new digital innovations into the hands of kids and families, but also LEGO partners and internal colleagues, to inspire physical play and spark new ideas.

In this talk, Nils will share the story of the LEGO Group’s current journey of building a product-led digital organisation, the challenges they faced (and still face), key learnings along the way, and some of the exciting digital and hybrid innovations that emerged in recent months as a result of this effort.

• Avoiding unplanned equipment or machine disruptions continues to be a priority in production processes.
• Software solutions using AI algorithms, and enabled through IoT technology, have been successfully applied to reduce production disruptions by more than 20%.
• Ensuring the maximum availability of production equipment, at the expected production quality, also translates to cost and energy savings.

• A holistic approach – how to move data from A-B, keeping in mind SSP (security, safety, privacy).  
• Working to collect ‘intelligent’ data and contextualising insights. 
• How to find the balance between standardisation and flexibility for quick response and optimisation.  
• AI, dashboards and digital twins – how employees are key in the decision-making process to optimise technology led systems.

• A look at the current industrial landscape – where is 5G being deployed?  
• The challenges faced so far in implementing 5G in legacy infrastructures.  
• How 5G is creating now opportunities across these spaces.  
• The next frontier – converging 5G, AI and Edge for the ultimate industrial environment.  

Real-world examples of 5G private networks – where we are currently at in this space and the next steps for more rollouts.  

This presentation will be exploring the role of tech and digital ecosystem in Ukraine’s economy and recovery process:

• Digitalization of government services is directly impacting private sector fostering deregulation and simplifying the business.
• IT sphere remains one of the most attractive fields for investments constantly updating and improving the targets.
• The investment potential can be observed on #AdvantageUkraine platform, covering numerous industries including IT and Deep-Tech
