Keynote: Video at the Edge and IoT – From Smart Manufacturing to Smart Homes

Dr Tom Bradicich, has asserted “Its said, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’, but a video is worth a billion words”. Video analytics, coupled with AI — from manufacturing plant to home IoT edges — affords significant business and personal outcomes. Dr. Tom will discuss his personal experiences with video analytics from telemedicine to manufacturing. And, he’ll share quantified and measured business outcomes from a real world deployment in a large global manufacturing plant, using vidoe analytics for quality assurance (QA). A special guest, who leads manufacturing of products for the home, will join to discuss both the manufacturing and home use dimension of these products, and how personal outcomes are improved with edge connected video.
