IoT Digital Infrastructures

Opening talk – overview of sessions and key highlights.

• 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 the way for the future?  

• Edge processing for optimum IoT deployments – how this resolves latency and connectivity barriers.   
• The advantages of running on quicker response rates through a de-centralised system.  
• Cloud analytics Vs Edge analytics – which allows for better data capture?   

• The progressions of AI, ML and additive manufacturing in IIoT – the challenges and solutions.  
• Utilising Edge for optimum response rates and data led decision making. 
• The critical role of IoT for remote management services.  
• Reaching KPI’s through IoT enabled process optimisation. 
• A shift towards sustainable practices – how IoT and other disruptive technologies can help.  

• 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’. 

• Are digital twins the best starting block for building an optimised product/ system?  
• How this technology enables AI, ML and IoT to work together to build concepts into reality.  
• Using digital twins at scale to optimise the enterprise as we move passed a single asset limitation.  
• Understanding the results to then put optimised solutions in place.  

• Evolving from Industry 4.0 and the shift to a more sustainable and human-centric approach.  
• Cultural change – enabling the human workforce and machines to work in tandem for the digital age.  
• The new emphasis on R&D.  
• It is imperative industries evolve to this new way of thinking and manufacturing, but where do you begin?  

• As environments and buildings become digitally enabled, how are IoT and wireless solutions enabling heightened connectivity?  
• Ideas on where to start – what needs to be implemented early on and what system works best for your building? 
• Does it all need to be the same or is variety key? Cloud vs Mesh Systems.  
• As 5G allows for heightened connectivity and efficiency speeds, how is the adoption of this disrupting smart infrastructures?  
• How to understand the data and glean insights through IoT and AI.   

• What IoT networks can provide the level of device connectivity you need?    
• Sensor integration: how these vary and what barriers are present?  
• The necessary steps that need to be taken to help secure the network – is this where Mobile Private Networks step-in?    
• Is the latency of 5G Networks an enabler or a hinderance here?
