IoT Digital Infrastructures

Opening talk – overview of sessions and key highlights

• What are some of the challenges we’ve faced scaling supply chains at a rapid rate.
• How have we utilised evidence-based product development to iterate.
• How we’ve structured our team for future scaling success.

• We are witnessing an unprecedented technological revolution happening before our eyes, faster than any other in history. We know it as the “Internet of Things (IoT)” which is a network of interconnected intelligent devices that will make our lives more efficient, safer, and more sustainable. A technology that is promised to change our lives for the better. It was further proved in the pandemic year 2020, where we witnessed how our dependency on technology has evolved from just smartphones to smart devices in every aspect of our daily lives.
• This keynote focuses on how the world’s largest telecommunication leader, Huawei is driving this change in the IoT industry to make people’s day-to-day lives better and smarter. Huawei is making giant leaps in the IoT industry, by offering a smooth user experience and seamless connectivity among billions of connected devices. Huawei’s vision is to offer a secure, scalable, easy-to-use infrastructure, and most importantly make significant contributions to the open-source ecosystem.
• Come join us for this keynote where Suhail will show you how Huawei is building a fully connected, intelligent world.

• How businesses are using IIoT hubs to drive and simplify IT/OT convergence in the real world.
• Optimizing edge architectures to prevent data loss, ensure uptime and maximize performance.
• Collecting machine and sensor data using common industrial communication protocols such as MQTT, OPC UA and Siemens S7.
• Bridging communication protocols to aggregate Industrial IoT data at the edge for analytics and cloud integration (e.g., ThingWorx).

• 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.

• Mass data analysis – how to make the most of your insights and contextualise the data before it goes stale. 
• Unlocking machine/device data for autonomous decision making and real-time analytics.
• A global shift to remote management and more predictive and pro-active solutions – how IoT is the answer.  
• Comparing edge, multi-cloud, hybrid-cloud, open platform approaches – understanding the best approach and analysing a ‘future focus’. 

See how running a containerised workload as close to the source of data improves the use of a cellular connected WAN. Learn about connecting sensors in Retail, Workplace and Healthcare environments to an edge hosted container and then visualising the data in a Microsoft Azure Central cloud environment.

eSIM / iSIM are game changers for IoT allowing new digital business models, greater control and flexibility.

• Understand how eSIM / iSIM is a game changer for digital business models.
• Learn what others have done to differentiate their businesses with IoT and eSIM.
• Explore the benefits of network orchestration, a global network of networks.

• Don’t be scared to implement technology at the fear of cost.
• It all begins were it ends.
• Embrace what you already have.
• Use cases of enterprise optimisation  in action.

Recently, buzzwords like “Digital Twin,” “Industry 4.0,” “Industrial IoT,” and “Edge AI” have dominated the conversation around IoT and sensor data. Oftentimes we envision equipment-fixing drones, 4-D models of factories, and workers in Iron Man suits. At Palantir, we have a different view, and we’re excited to share it with you. Our exploration of IOT will cover the following topics:

• How to avoid rebuilding commoditised solutions, instead building solutions that generate Alpha.
• Why “good security” isn’t good enough.
• Why starting small and growing with your organisation is optimal.
• How to avoid building a point solution Frankenstein.
• Why being predictive and proactive is more achievable than first thought.

• How are IoT and wireless solutions enabling greater connectivity for enterprise infrastructures?
• As 5G allows for heightened connectivity and efficiency speeds, how is the adoption of this disrupting smart infrastructures?
• Ideas on where to start – what needs to be implemented early on in the process of digitising infrastructures?
• How to understand the data and glean insights through IoT and AI.
• IoT’s role in building sustainable infrastructures.

• How DoS can be achieved through connectivity.
• The gravity and prevalence of a DoS attack.
• Strategies to prevent DoS.

Digital twins are a vital tool that allow teams to visualize not just how things work, but how they will perform and react in the future. They can help transform data into decisions and drive new innovations. 

Airline manufacturers use digital twins to test different components. 

Automotive companies create virtual vehicles for performance and crash testing at minimal cost.  

Cities are simulating traffic patterns. And medical research is trying out new techniques on virtual organs.  

But to take advantage of this ever-evolving technology, you need the right toolset to build, process, and envision your simulated world. Join Robert Cowham to learn how to: 

• Transform your tool stack to build digital twins. 
• Integrate real-world data with your virtual world. 
• Leverage game technology for rapid results.  
• Build the future of technology.  

• Goals of Continuous Improvement.
• Changes for CI due to the advent of iIoT.
• CI failures of traditional software versus requirements for new systems.
• Improvement use cases realized with Streamsheets Servers.

IoT is the fusion of technologies from sensors, connected through networks, extracting, and processing the data for multiple applications.

The complexity of adopting IoT solutions increases further as applications use multiple layers of technology sources, requiring varied skillsets for integration, operations, and maintenance. Also, the uncertainty on the RoI for the upfront investment and the scale of operations is among the top reasons organizations do not embrace IoT.

Delivering ‘IoT-as-a-service’ makes it possible for organizations to benefit from state-of-the-art technology by minimizing the cost of ownership and eliminating the complexity for businesses seeking new applications. Enabling organizations with a single pane of view dashboard to Deploy, Enrich & Manage customized IoT solutions will increase the adaptability of IoT to make it the next megatrend!

This session will cover IoT within Smart Buildings and the opportunity this provides for Commercial Real Estate.
