IoT and the Things You Buy

Session Abstract: Edge and IoT technologies continue to enhance the on-premises retail shopping experience. A key driver is the retail store’s twofold competition — with each other, and with online buying. IoT related applications are serving both the consumer and the retailer, from ease of product location and availability, to theft and inventory management, and in-store customer behavior analytics. Join Dr. Tom Bradicich, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Fellow, and his special guests as they share deep insights into the emerging and extant retail shopping experience, improving customer satisfaction, and enhancing retail business outcomes. Speakers: Dr. Tom Bradicich is VP, Hewlett Packard...

Dancing with Data Science at the Edge

Abstract: Realizing when mechanical devices (e.g. pump data, manufacturing devices) are having mechanical issues and are showing signs of failure (via sensors) are important items to know when you need to keep your mechanical devices running 24/7. Therefore creating failure prediction algorithms and/or model(s) are essential parts of your mechanical equipment maintenance toolbox. But how do you get started? Is it hard to curate sensor data? How do you create, train and deploy failure prediction algorithms and models? What kind of platform do you use for these items? Failure prediction in real time on time series data (gathered by sensors)...

Realising real-time insights for the Digital Twin

Session Abstract: During this session we discuss the key role of Digital Twins to provide real-time insights for users and enterprise processes resulting from the acquisition of IoT data users to create a comprehensive picture of the past, present and likely future health and state of their high value entities. The session will illustrate how templates can provide capabilities to represent entity structure, relationships with other entities, associated telemetry and meta-data as input into AI/ML techniques that provide insights and predictions that enrich the Digital Twin and enable the automatic triggering of enterprise processes. Speakers: Saurabh Thapliyal is responsible for...

Smart Home and Industry 5.0 Demand Trusted Distributed Data

Session Abstract: Partly as a response to the COVID-19 and climate change crises, the European Union (EU) has come out with a new industrial initiative it is calling Industry 5.0. While the business world has largely absorbed the goals of Industry 4.0, which can be summed up as the transformation of industry through digital technologies, Industry 5.0 can be summarized as calling for redesigning industry around a human centric approach. Some major points of the Industry 5.0 initiative include: Ensuring that digital technologies such as robots and AI (artificial intelligence) used in industry are designed with human workers in mind...

IoT Case Studies in Real-Time Operations: Why “Good Enough” Isn’t “Good Enough”

Session Abstract: The promise of the Internet of Things (IoT) rests on a foundation of real-time location and/or condition information, and the actions that can be taken to improve business performance with that information. Yet, often due to the inherent nature of connectivity challenges or the inherent nature of the location technology, real-time visibility falls short of 99+% location accuracy and reliability. In this session, we will explore the following: Shortcomings of various RTLS solution types Case studies of companies achieving 99+% accuracy Benefits of greater system performance The bottom line: 80-90% location accuracy may sound “good enough,” but for...
