IoT Community Diamond Member Panel – Advancing IoT Through Consultancy – Listen, Listen, Listen
Abstract: “IoT technology solutions can be characterized by three PC’s: perpetual connectivity, pervasive computing, and precision control”, say Dr. Tom Bradicich. Hence IoT solutions are among the most complex in any industry. Consultancy, professional or casual, is a key tool for sorting through the complexities of IoT and ensuring business and societal benefits are enjoyed by customers. The top attribute of consultancy is “listening” to the customer. Bryan Saunders of SAS, and Chris Sullivan of Zebra Technologies engage regularly as consultants in the domain of IoT. Along with Dr Tom, they’ll share real world experiences with how “listening” has been... Read More

Bringing Zero Trust to Industrial IOT
Session Abstract: Traditional security offers a castle-and-moat or perimeter approach to assess whether connections are trustworthy and should be given access, but the current industrial control systems (ICS) ecosystem requires a different approach. Zero Trust reminds us that the information security perimeter never really existed. The pace of attacks, and ubiquity of IIoT is forcing us to improve our cyber-resilience quickly. This talk addresses how to bring Zero Trust to the ICS world: the benefits, the challenges, architectural constraints, planning and sizing the effort, success criteria, and future evolution. We will present a model for Zero Trust success, revealing how... Read More

Achieving Accuracy and Affordability in IoT Asset Tracking
Abstract: Ranging has long been the gold standard for precision location systems, powering technologies such as GPS and Ultrawideband (UWB)—but at a cost: these systems are often too expensive for tracking most items in an industrial environment and have onerous power requirements or finicky install procedures. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices offer the tantalizing possibility of significant reductions in cost, but the absence of an ability to support location determination via ranging has led to insufficient accuracy and consequently limited adoption in manufacturing. Bob will present the technological challenges for ranging-based asset tracking using Bluetooth Low Energy devices, along with... Read More
