Operational IoT

Chairpersons welcome and opening remarks.

• Current pitfalls hindering digital twins across industries.   
• Providing unparalleled insights, are digital twins the best market product for reduced costs and risks? 
• Understanding the digital transformation process for implementing digital twins.   
• Incorporating other technologies like AI, ML and Blockchain for agile processes.  

There has been a long debate about what is the better way to create a digital twin: photogrammetry vs lidar. You may have heard about the advantage of photogrammetry digital twins (it is faster and cheaper to create) before, but there is another driver that is making this method more advantageous.  

• The growth of the IoT sensor market – the IoT sensor market has been growing fast.
  => Photo-based digital twin can act as the platform to visualize the sensor data 
• The photo information that is the feed for AI machine learning
  => Photo-based digital twin can be the foundation for the AI detection market 

• Supply chains building resiliency through the IoT.
• Responding to demand – the reboot of supply chains post-pandemic.
• Combining IoT sensors and digital capabilities like blockchain and digital twins to enhance efficiency.
• The next move to ‘sustainable’ supply chains.

REscan, Inc. partnered with Patrick Space Force Base’s Fire Department to create a digital fire inspection system utilizing REscan’s digital twin technology.

The system could eventually replace the current paper-based fire inspection system, which is required annually for all buildings on the installation.

The R&D is focused on adding labels, tags and other information to fire-related elements in the digital twin, and then enabling the user with features that will help in pre-incident planning, fire inspection, and operations during an actual crisis.

Items which are connected to the base alarm system can be specifically identified in the scan and quickly found in the case of an alarm.

Pathfinding features can direct the user to any item labelled in the facility, or to the specific category physically closest to the user’s position (ie AED, fire extinguisher, hydrants etc.).

Presented by Michael Clark, Director of OPC Foundation North America, learn how five of the most extensive industrial facilities – from renewable energy to cosmetics, to automakers – are employing secure, digital interoperability from the shop floor to the top floor. See how wind, solar, robotics, and cybersecurity are masterfully served under the International IEC62541 Standard of OPC UA. Deployments include Client/Server and Pub/Sub frameworks utilizing all transports, including TCP, UDP, MQTT, and more. With the world’s largest ecosystem of end-users, manufacturers, and partner associations, The OPC Foundation is the gravity center for secure industrial interoperability.

In his presentation, Srikanth Kodayam will discuss the challenges of providing end-to-end visibility and control in the supply chain through technology.

The presentation will highlight the unique challenges posed by far-flung communities in Hawaii and Alaska and the need to balance the disparate needs of customers, supply chain operators, and Matson.

Additionally, Kodayam will emphasize the importance of fleet and asset optimization to ensure proper deployment across the network at the lowest cost.

Summary:

• Use of technology to provide end-to-end visibility and control in the supply chain
• Unique challenges posed by far-flung communities in Hawaii and Alaska
• Balancing disparate needs of customers, supply chain operators, and Matson
• Importance of fleet and asset optimization for proper deployment at the lowest cost

• Digitalising the factory floor – getting the digital transformation steps right to implement fully autonomous processes.
• Optimizing lean processes through digital technologies.
• 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.

• Looking at the limitations around data including sensitive data and capture limitations.
• Transporting data from sensors securely, keeping in mind SSP (security, safety, privacy).
• Optimizing and actioning insights for productivity benefits.

The regulatory and business landscape around the Food & Beverage industry is shifting owing to the new and emerging food risks, changes in customer perception, and policy changes. Food safety and quality have gained a fresh salience in this environment, and stakeholders in the F&B space must be ready to meet these ever-changing requirements of the VUCA world.  

One of the core things in the industry to bolster transparency is to have real-time information about the food (the who, what, why, when and how of the food). While IoT does take the center stage to ensure food freshness in the supply chain – we at Bosch, believe that it’s not one but a combination of technologies like IoT, AI and Blockchain and process-related changes that will shape the future of this industry. 

In-transit condition monitoring for the cold chains supporting timely information dissemination, to ensure that corrective actions are taken in case of any serious misses, shall not just ensure that the best quality food reaches the consumer through real-time digital quality assessment but also brings about opportunities to save supply chain costs whilst boosting its overall efficiency. 

In the talk, we would like to share our take on the future of one of the oldest industries known to humankind.  

We will be sharing our experiences and key learnings from helping our global customers with their digital transformation journey to deliver long-lasting value impact to their customers. 

Eventual leverages AI to automatically build, scale and operate modern event-driven architectures that solve complex business orchestration and coordination problems. Our approach significantly accelerates the journey from ideas to implementation by translating business requirements written in natural language into a best-practice architecture built with eventualCloud’s distributed systems primitives running on AWS.

• Brings at least a 10x increase in delivery velocity
• Enables an instant feedback loop between business and engineering teams, reducing what typically takes months/weeks of effort down to minutes or hours.
• Scales with your business needs by utilizing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) to deploy production-ready services that integrate directly into your tech stack
• Operates within your own data, security, and privacy boundaries

• Designing Flexibility for multi-modal product portfolios.
• Managing risks with Cloud, AI & ML.
• Approach for Global Bio-Pharma organizations.
• Approach for the Fab-Less Biotech.
