Session Objectives and Takeaways

The What and Why of IoT

The Internet of Things represents a network of physical objects embedded with compute,

software, storage, sensors, actuators and network connectivity enabling them to collect and exchange data with each other as well

as the external environment.

What is IoT?

§ We spend our money and time to either walk, drive or fly to remote locations to capture readings and measurements

§ We run our equipment until if fails and then suffer through the side effects of unplanned downtime including loss of revenue, supply chain disruption and loss of customer confidence

§ We overspend on maintenance regimes and an oversupply of spare parts to keep things running

§ We put our employees at risk as we ignore the working environment and the potentially adverse outcomes of equipment malfunctions or failures

§ We sell undifferentiated products

Commands Control Things

§ Reduce costs by eliminating visits to remote assets to take readings and capture measurements

§ Improve customer service by quickly responding to service outages

§ Increase retail revenue by responding to customer product preferences in real-time

§ Reduce risk by detecting dangerous conditions and responding to them immediately

§ Improve customer service by having repair technicians with the right skills, tools and parts arrive at the source of the problem

IoT Does Remote Monitoring

§ Conserve water by shutting off irrigation to crops when rain is predicted or detected

§ Prevent the motors in expensive industrial equipment from burning out by reducing RPMs when upper temperature thresholds are reached

§ Save energy by dimming street lights when motion isn’t detected

§ Maintain air quality and protect employees by increasing ventilation and sounding alarms when dangerous gases are detected

IoT Does Remote Control

§ Reduce or eliminate unplanned downtime and associated costs by anticipating equipment failures and preemptively addressing them

§ Improve customer service by preventing inventory outages

§ Reduce risk by anticipating equipment malfunctions or failures that threaten the safety of employees

§ Increase revenue by delivering products and services with an enhanced SLA that leads to winning more deals

IoT Does Predictive Maintenance

IoT Platforms

§ There are hundreds of IoT platforms and between now and 2021, this market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33% and will reach a market size of around $1.6 billion.

§ IoT platforms help with the following:‒ Connect hardware

‒ Facilitate connectivity through a variety of protocols

‒ Provide identity and security for devices and people

‒ Collect, store, visualize and analyze data

‒ Integrate with other systems

‒ Act on insights

The IoT Platform Market

§ Does the platform target business or consumer use cases?

§ Does the platform run in the cloud, on-prem, or both?

§ Does the provider have domain experience in your type of business?

§ Is the platform based on open standards and APIs?

§ Is the platform secure, scalable and highly available?

§ Does the provider offer a pricing model that matches your use case?

§ Does the platform provide integration with your business systems?

The Lumada Difference

§ Fear of being hacked, losing sensitive data, disrupting operations and creating a safety risk for people are some of the biggest blockers to widespread IoT adoption.

Security is Job One

§ Lumada uniquely identifies each asset and is locked-down at every tier via authentication, authorization, outbound-only connections, logging, blacklisting plus encryption for data at rest and data in transit.

Access Token

§ An asset avatar type is a digital blueprint for a class of physical assets of the same type.

First We Start with an Asset Avatar Type

§ Asset avatars are an instance of an asset avatar type and inherit a subset of properties and metadata.

§ An asset avatar is a digital representation of a physical asset.

Then We Derive Asset Avatars

§ It serves as a digital proxy for physical assets with continuously updated sensor values to meet the needs of data consumers.

§ Not all of our Industrial IoT customers are prepared to move their data and operations to the cloud, so Lumada runs everywhere.

Portability to Meet Customers Where They Are

Assets Edge Core

§ Using our Foundry technology, Lumada runs fully on-prem, in a hybrid on-prem to cloud configuration or completely in the cloud as needed.
