Connected Enterprise

As the hype around the Internet of Things, cloud and ‘analytics’ grows listen to how the number 1 advanced analytics provider outlines how to drive greater value in business focusing on how the supply chain and how this has grown beyond the enterprise linking how you make, move, sell and service your products in a modern world.

• Discussion on new technologies & trends which are going to significantly change the way the industry operates?
• Application of IOT technologies in Supply chain and impact on business
• Visions for the future – what role will blockchain and smart contracts play?
• Smarter, Faster, Leaner, Better supply chain: The connected enterprise becoming a reality!

• Business without borders – owing to the nature of logistics, a huge consideration of this is having an effective connectivity network to enable this enhanced technology.
• delays in routing and loading can also hit margins hard – and the ever-increasing complexity of supply chain management is turning the pressure up even higher
• Small insights that make big differences, data that can analyse driver behaviour, Fuel efficiency and predictive maintenance.

In this talk, Dan Mo will share his IoT implementation experiences at Starbucks.

• Integrating OT with IoT in the modern enterprise – challenges such as technology, culture and standards
• Looking at the way in which IoT-enabled smart manufacturing can provide visibility of resources, assets, processes, for enhanced productivity and better ROI.
• Process Automation – moving beyond IoT to intelligent objects.
• In addition to the IoT, this discussion will look at the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, and Virtual Reality (VR) on manufacturing.

• Technology evolution from early 60s to Present (Internet of Information to Internet of Value)
• Enhance business capability with reference architecture enabled by emerging technologies
• IoT connects physical and digital world to reduce cost of verification for blockchain architecture
• Revolutionize business applications in O&G with Blockchain complemented by IoT devices.

Are technologies previously used for asset tracking and management such as barcodes, RFID, NFC becoming obsolete as the need for more intelligent connected systems emerges? How have advances in IoT technologies and connectivity standards impacted next generation asset tracking and inventory management? This talk will discuss the need for real-time asset visibility, the increasingly complex tracking requirements, and technologies required to optimize business operations based on data.

• Discussions around the diversity of IoT enterprise applications and their requirements, introduces a paradigm shift for connectivity solution and new business models to enable new ways of working and new services.
• The seamless integration of standards into the IoT – moving from proprietary solutions to standards allows for interoperability along the entire supply chain.
• How businesses are using de-centralized, autonomous device networks enable fast and efficient deployment of large-scale industrial IoT
• The role of Ultra-low-power wireless technologies for the enterprise-focused internet of things.

Factories and Warehouses which were once stand-alone secure parts are now becoming more and more connected, and hackers are increasing in sophistication, therefore new attack vulnerabilities are emerging. What are the best ways to minimise vulnerabilities within the industrial IoT stack?
