IoT DEVICES SEND DATA TO CLOUD
• The Internet of Things is the driver behind “Big Data”
• Predictions for 50 billion IoT devices by 2020
• Already as many as 20 billion
• The volume of data generated is ENORMOUS!
• Super computers are poised to turn the data into……….ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE!

ALGORITHMS RULE!
• Data is the fuel. Algorithms are the engines that turn it into something.
• Facebook is algorithm powerhouse. Fake news??
• For ag, weather is still the wildcard
• Data + Algorithms drive artificial intelligence

PRINT YOUR OWN PARTS?
• Someday – for sure, especially plastic parts
• More immediate benefit is prototype creation for entrepreneurs –
no expensive mold or fabrication costs
• $40,000 for metal 3D printer for aluminum, titanium, stainless steel
• Limitation is availability of CAD file for each part. Might take a day
to print a part

TAKE AWAYS1. No fear! Keep an open mind
and positive attitude about technology. Learn how to sort hype from real value.
2. Harness the power of your mobile devices. They are going to become even more important to your operation.
3. Internet of Things and other advancements will bring data. Lots of it. Think about how you will direct it, manage it and protect it.
4. There is inherent pressure to “keep up”. Challenge new technology to deliver real benefit.
