The Port of Hamburg is the main entrance to the German market and the third largest European port by transit volume, passing nearly 9 million containers each year. Although it has witnessed several stages of automation, there is still vast, untapped potential to preserve resources, both economic and ecological. By introducing IoT with Splunk, we move away from the docks and onto the vessels, equipping one tugboat and one inland cargo ship with IoT technology to measure movement and gather data about energy consumption from their 1950s diesel engines. The goal of this PoC environment is to automate the communication between ship and port authority, as well as visualize their field of operation to evenly distribute load and optimize the travel distances. On a broader spectrum, we also built a simulation model within our dashboard to investigate the benefits of adapting the vessels with engines powered to natural gas or electricity based on their consumption patterns.

Join us to learn how Lockheed Martin utilizes Splunk for IoT to bridge the gap between Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and how they took a multi-vendor, best-of-breed approach to solving their most critical O&M challenges. If you attend this session you will see how real-time monitoring, and condition-based and predictive maintenance for critical assets can reduce unplanned downtime, improve maintenance activities, and increase operational efficiencies. We will also show how the Splunk implementation includes data convergence from disparate pieces of equipment and existing enterprise software solutions to create new insights and allow for actions that were once considered very difficult or too costly to realize.

The digital convergence of IT and OT infrastructures promises huge efficiencies, cost savings and opportunities; but it is not without risk. OT was primarily built to run all types of manufacturing & critical infrastructure processes while IT was built to store, transmit and manipulate data in order to conduct business. The two worlds could not be more different in purpose or design; and this can expose even the most secure organizations to new types of cyber threats. In this session we will discuss the current challenges we face in the drive to convergence and how to secure your industrial or critical infrastructure organization from the clear and present threat.

AV and conference technology may seem trivial to the traditional IT OPS engineer, but it is one of the most visible and expensive parts of an enterprise. Everyone from the CEO to even the new hires on their first day use the technology. At PSE we were able to leverage Splunk to help us build, maintain, and manage our enterprise AV program (and save a lot of money in the process). In this session you will learn how we used Splunk to make data-driven decisions that influence and shape a multi-million dollar AV program.

SignalFx, the latest addition to the Splunk family, is the market leader in real-time cloud monitoring and Observability for infrastructure, microservices, and applications. This session will serve as a primer into the new challenges and solutions involved in effectively monitoring and troubleshooting modern cloud environments built with microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and serverless functions. As you progress on your cloud-native journey and develop your own monitoring and Observability strategy, we will share three valuable insights: 1) best practices for collecting, visualizing, analyzing, alerting, and troubleshooting these complex environments using metrics, traces, and logs; 2) lessons learned from companies that have successfully reduced MTTD and MTTR, improved developer productivity, and improved customer experiences; 3) a live demonstration of the SignalFx platform in action

With around a million people interacting with the public transport in and around the city of Amsterdam daily, supplying accurate travel information is critical for an efficient and well-informed public transportation experience. With four different transport types (boat, bus, tram, and metro) and a host of custom systems creating around 4.5 million update events per day, analyzing this travel information depends on everything working seamlessly together. To provide accurate and trustworthy real-time passenger information services, monitoring of not only information availability but quality is needed. This use case shows how Splunk was implemented to monitor the data streams at all points in the information chain, and how real-time insights and alerting allows for proactive problem resolution and provides high-quality real-time information services for the end-user.

As one of the world's largest and most trusted industrial brands, our customers demand the most technologically advanced and reliable systems to operate the most critical assets on the planet. Downtime for our customers is never an option. As we migrate our business delivery backbone to the cloud, we have to enforce the same level of reliability and performance on the architecture that supports our services - .9999 is failure where we live. In this presentation learn how ABB Digital and Splunk have collaborated to create new insights into the performance, security and operations of our Azure-backed ABB Digital IOT Platform to protect our brand and increase the velocity of services that we can bring to our internal customers and to those that invest in our ABB branded services.

Solar generation and energy storage is dramatically dropping in cost and is being deployed on a massive scale across the globe. However, system monitoring and diagnostics, cost reporting, and usage can be difficult. With Splunk Essentials for ICS (Industrial Control Systems) and Splunk IAI (Industrial Asset Intelligence), a smart energy solution easily can be created. Does it seem too hard to onboard data? See how we use the Splunk add-on builder to create technology add-ons for solar panels and batteries. Want better visibility? Using Splunk IAI, we can gain faster insights into the performance of solar panels, inverters, and battery systems. Want to understand the economics? By applying business analytics, we can easily report of revenue, costs, and total return on investment. This solution can be applied to both small and large solar and energy storage installations, and we have a real world use case with some exciting energy data!

DevOps adoption requires high performing teams. One of the biggest challenges organizations have when adopting a DevOps framework is how to get early wins, get value early in the process, and overcome plateaus in adoption. These improvements are typically achieved through the use of automation, improved responsiveness, better situational awareness, and increased sharing between teams. As you will see in this session, Splunk easily sits in the middle of all of this.
