Keynote: Exploring the Art of the Possible Through Industrial IoT
Abstract:
So, exactly what is the art of the possible relative to Industrial IoT or IIoT? Today, more and more people and organizations are embracing IIoT technologies like smart meters, automated asset distribution systems, self monitoring electrical generation and transmission systems. Production lines, farm equipment and even the human body are being outfitted with smart sensors that tie to MLOps (machine or deep learning) systems integrating with model generation (software development lifecycle, continuous integration/continuous delivery), orchestration, and deployment, to health, diagnostics, governance, manufacturing and business. As complex as this may sound, it is actually as easy today as elemental arithmetic. The secret is maintaining a vision while engaging in the connectivity necessary to accomplish the dream, or making the impossible possible. In this session, we will explore how CBT connects the dots to make the art-of-the-possible into the art-of-reality, leveraging IIoT for the benefit of people, both as individuals and as a community.
