IoT at the Edge

Have you ever been confused by all of the “Edge” technology in IoT? You’re not alone. In this episode, Jason Shepherd demystifies “The Edge” referencing a comprehensive new white paper being published by the Linux Foundation Edge umbrella project. You’ll not only learn the what and why of “The Edge” continuum, but also how it got to be such a murky and misunderstood subject. Once we’ve demystified the industrial Edge, we explore trends in virtualization at the Edge to accommodate both legacy applications and modern new workloads like Artificial Intelligence and how “cloud native” principals must be driven all the way to the Edge in IIoT architectures to maximize flexibility and long term business potential.

Digital Transformation is particularly challenging when you’re working with assets with 50+ year life expectancies. In this episode we’ll discuss Smart Buildings with Tim Vogel. Tim is the Director of IoT for KMC Controls, a company with 50 years of history in building automation who has embraced open architecture and ecosystem partnerships in their approach to applying Digital Transformation to these long life-cycle assets. And as with virtually every industry, you’ll hear how the COVID-19 pandemic has been changing the conversation and business drivers behind Smart Buildings.

How will the #IIoT and #DigitalTransformation be transformed by Covid-19? When we emerge from this crisis will we find that many of our Digital Transformation projects have been focused on the wrong problem statement? Listen to this episode with technologist and futurist Fred Thiel to hear some ways that the crisis will change the landscape of the IIoT, creating an even stronger set of drivers for IIoT projects and likely forever changing our view of manufacturing and supply chain.

If you’re stuck in pilot purgatory when it comes to #IIoT and #digitaltransformation you’ll want to listen to this episode of IoT at the Edge with Remus Pop from Dana Inc. Hear how Dana has successfully fast-tracked their IIoT initiatives and moved at impressive speed from vision and strategy to PoC and production. This episode is full of best practice tips and pitfalls that will accelerate your IIoT initiatives.

In this inaugural episode of “IoT at the Edge,” Mike Fahrion sits down with Jay Ennesser, director of ecosystem development for Fathym, to discuss how his Internet of Things career kicked off, his tenure with IBM, and the many technology shifts he experienced along the way. IoT technology is rapidly developing, but it’s easy to get lost in the hype. In this discussion, Mike and Jay dig past the hype to understand the major IoT technology changes of the past, the progression of the PC evolution, and much more. To confront the challenges of future IoT development, we must first understand the past.

Cut through all the hype and babble about the Internet of Things with Mike Fahrion, Advantech’s North American CTO, to get clarity and insight about everything to do with the IoT. Through Mike’s experiences, he’s picked up a lot of interesting stories, including those with bumpy paths and wrong turns. IoT at the Edge will not only bring you all the IoT tech info but also share many of these stories. Let’s dive into IoT at the Edge!
