IoT Digital Infrastructures

Opening talk – overview of sessions and key highlights.

• How AI is leveraged for predictive maintenance and remote management to eliminate downtime of equipment on the farm and meet every field’s fullest yield potential.
• The combination of historic and real-time data to amplify in the moment decision making and enable communication across different machines in the field.
• The powerful combination of advanced connectivity, machine-to-machine communication, smart sensors and data analytics to predict needs of each seed or plant, enhancing efficiency and sustainability on the farm.

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 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.

• 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 infrastructure approaches and data latency.
• Discussing ROI and ROV (return on value) – understanding the best approach and analysing a ‘future focus’. 

To follow soon ….

• IoT has enormous potential for business — but it’s full of challenges.
• Lexmark built a IoT platform to harness data from its connected devices and drive business outcomes, including predictive services, asset optimization, systemic innovation and as-a-service offerings.
• Hear executives from Lexmark tell their company’s story and share information on how you can transform your business with IoT.

• 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. 
• It is imperative industries evolve to this new way of thinking and manufacturing, but where do you begin?  

• Recognizing the historical limitations of control system’s inability to exchange data openly, securely, or interoperably.
• Solving limitations through standards for data exchange and interoperability.
• Following the four steps of migrating from the legacy Automation Pyramid to a Open Universal Industrial Network.
• Participating in OPC Foundation initiatives around the world.

• 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.

• As digitization continues to radically transform the landscape for global supply chains and asset operations, disruptive technologies are opening the way for true end-to-end supply chain and asset visibility.
• The need has never been greater, as supply chain disruption has reached record levels and organizations are looking to maximize their investment in their current assets.
• Using an identity-centric approach to IoT, all the people, systems and things in a supply chain and asset management ecosystem are verified and thereby trusted for pervasive, real-time visibility.
• Powered by the OpenText™ Internet of Things platform, part of the OpenText™ Business Network, the dual solutions suites of Shipment and Asset Intelligence enable the end-to-end visibility of shipments and assets as they move through the extended ecosystem or are in the field.

Join the Walmart team to learn about their successful use-case in building an energy demand shedding system for business partners in the real estate realm.
The team will cover:

• The brief that outlined problems that needed solving
• An in-depth look at the system they build to combat these problems
• Key insights and learnings after the system has been implemented

Industrial systems across all industries are connecting devices and components that have historically not been connected. Adding connectivity creates enormous opportunity from telematics and predictive maintenance to more intelligent operations. However, adding connectivity adds exposure to network based attacks. These industrial systems share common connection requirements of reliability, scalability, and now, security. How are your software components connected? Do your connectivity protocols meet your reliability, scalability, and security requirements?

This technical presentation takes a look Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications using the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standardized connectivity protocol from the Object Management Group (OMG). DDS is a proven, mature protocol, with over 20 years of implementation history across military, industrial, medical, power, automotive, and IIoT industries.

• How interoperable are current network services?
• Standardisation – securing the full line of connectivity and where to start.
• Can intelligent-switching options be the solution for multiple location IoT deployments working in real-time? Is this where eSIM’s help create a holistic connection?
• The role of wireless in powering IoT devices.
• Using AI, Edge and other disruptive technologies to optimise products and services.
• Looking at long-term strategies for deployments – knowing what connectivity you will need in the future and not just for the short-term.

• How to manage bigger data. 
• How much faster is NMVe SSD?  
• Data Security.  
• Applications. 

What’s the first thing you do when you get home?
For Peter, it’s checking that his mum is OK. At 77, Janet is fiercely independent and wants to look after herself.

Thanks to Memo from Alcuris, a digital telecare platform that tracks Janet’s safety and well-being 24/7 using sensors around the home, Peter can now see she’s safe and sound by using the Memo app.

Alcuris wanted to transform the lives of vulnerable and older individuals by creating a whole new way to deliver care, so they turned to Eseye.

Listen to this on-demand webinar to hear how Eseye guided Alcuris through every step of their product journey, through the complexities of designing an IoT device to embedding cloud connectivity into the Memo hardware.

• Current state of IoT platforms: what existing platforms fail to address?
• The problem of costs for data transport, latency and security.
• How do you trust and secure data, which is coming from so many different unsecured system?
• Who owns the data from machines?
• How to connect existing business systems and solutions to your IoT data.
• Weeve Platform allows you to collect and store unstructured data in a way that’s accessible and manageable.

Paul will talk about how by collecting data from new sensors and existing infrastructure, applying advanced algorithms, the traffic flow in San Francisco has be improved dramatically. TNL participated in a proof of concept to show what it takes to deploy at scale and the results the citizens should expect.

In the talk, Paul will show you the results and what it takes besides the technology to deploy to potentially hundreds of intersections and reduce public transit travel times and the chance that you must wait for a red light, reduce CO2 emissions, deliver operation cost reduction, and increase safety.
