Ever heard the saying, "It takes a village"? Well, that couldn't be more true for building IoT solutions today!📺 In this episode of the IoT Show, we chat with Brandon Satrom from Blues about how the IoT industry has totally transformed. We’ve gone from a world where you had to DIY every single thing, to a place with a plethora of platforms all trying to be the one-stop shop. Now, we're in a much smarter phase—picking the best parts from different companies to build something amazing.Brandon shares the scoop from Blues' perspective, a company that makes awesome hardware modules to give your devices seamless connectivity. ⚠️ TEASER ALERT: we learn where Blues 🎶 got its name fromWe also touch on The Things Conference, which is proof that the "it takes a village" idea is catching on. They’re expanding beyond just LoRaWAN to include all sorts of IoT tech. It's all about the ecosystem, and working together to make IoT work for everyone.Learn more about Blues 👉 https://blues.comCheck out The Things Conference 👉 https://thethingsconference.com
Are the digital and physical worlds able to sense and interact with each other? What does it take to make this a reality?Short answer: Digital twins!Who better than Bert Van Hoof, CEO at Willow, to attest to the importance of Digital Twins to make sense of the huge amount of heterogeneous data that smart buildings generate.If you have never heard about Willow, that's because their technology is hidden and as I like to say: the best tech is the one you don't see Learn more at https://willowinc.com/
The Things Conference is becoming the must-attend IoT event of the year. Traditionally, this event was the hub for anything LoRaWAN, but as we all know, IoT is about more than just LPWAN technologies, it's actually more than just about connectivity. And The Things Industries team understand this better than anyone else. So they decided to extend the scope of this year's edition of the Conference.Learn more and register at https://TheThingsConference.com
Dr. Andreas Savvides started his career over a couple of decades ago at Yale, leading research on wireless sensor networks, embedded systems, and sensor-driven applications for energy efficiency, security and healthcare. He rapidly realized the commercial potential of IoT and Edge AI and went on creating a SaaS energy analytics platform before many. Passionate about technology, he joined Cognex in 2018 to lead the company's edge intelligence efforts.Suffice it to say: Andreas knows a thing or two about Vision AI and its applications in the industry and shares with us a unique perspective on how far Edge AI has come, where it's going and how fast.🔗 Learn more about Cognex: https://www.cognex.com🤝 Connect with Andreas: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreasgsavvides
Many IoT devices run on batteries for obvious reasons (remote and mobile location, critical enough to not rely on grid power only, you name it). But batteries have shortcomings: they have a limited lifespan, you need to constantly minimize energy consumption, hence reducing what can be done, which limits the hardware choices as well...More and more IoT devices manufacturers are considering and adopting energy harvesting solutions such as solar, allowing their devices to generate energy from their environment. This is known as Ambient IoT.It's becoming even more important to consider energy production and consumption holistically (tech, cost, AI, ...), it is a system problem, not a component one. And for that you need the right tools.With Jeff Crystal from Voltaic and Björn Rosqvist from Qoitch we delve into the fascinating new world of ambient IoT, discussing considerations, pitfalls, tooling, and more.🔗 Learn more at https://www.qoitech.com/ and https://voltaicsystems.com/🙏 This episode is powered by IoT Stars https://iotstars.com
Is ISA-95 obsolete? Is UNS the next step forward for Industrial data? How does the future of MES look like? Should we also consider a broader adoption of open-source technologies?That's some of the questions we are trying to answer on this new episode of the IoT Show with Alexander Krüger, Co-founder and CEO at United Manufacturing Hub (UMH) and long timer in the business of normalizing industrial data.Learn more at https://learn.umh.app/
Like with any other technology, you must be practical when you start with Edge AI.Bringing AI to the Edge has a lot of promise but also requires a lot of consideration.Mahmood Afshari, Business Manager at Softeq, has extensive experience in integrating IoT, Digital Twins and AI at the Edge.Mahmood joined me on the IoT Show to talk about use cases, the importance of focusing on ROI, expectations for AI at the Edge, the business considerations in terms of hardware, infrastructure, security, brownfield, greenfield, ...🔗 Connect with Mahmood on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mahmoodafshari
In technology, you have the ones who implement and use it, and you have the ones who invent, innovate, trailblaze.Zach Shelby, whom you might know as the co-founder of Edge Impulse, is one of these trailblazers, and as you'll hear in this episode, when retracing his career, we retrace a large part of IoT history.🙏This episode is powered by IoT Stars https://iotstars.com
The Edge AI Foundation recently put together a challenge, proposing to Computer vision engineers, Data scientists, AI engineers and researchers to produce the best Vision AI models for the Edge using a large open source dataset. Participants were to approach the problem from the perspective of the models or from the perspective of the data.Kais Bedioui, Computer Vision engineer, was in the later camp and tells us how he used off-the-shelf AI models to clean up the large dataset, identifying non-labelled images or gaps and errors images annotations before even starting to train a model for the Edge.🔗 Check out Kai's project at https://github.com/kais-bedioui/Wake_Vision_Challenge_Data_Centric_Track🙏 This special episode is sponsored by the Edge AI Foundation https://www.edgeaifoundation.org/
Azure IoT Operations is now Generally Available and it's time we take a close look into the new Microsoft's solution to connect Operations to IT and business infrastructures and to the Cloud.Ranga Vadlamudi, PM in the Azure IoT team, walks us through an end to end demo of the main features of what is the incarnation of Microsoft's adaptive Cloud strategy.#IoT #IoTOperations #UNS #Industry40 #MQTT #Edge #edgeCompute #EdgeAI #Azure #AzureIoT
Dr Scott Gerard, Distinguished Data Scientist, joins me on this new episode of the IoT Show to discuss what marked 2024 in IoT and what 2025 will look like. Scott has taken a particular interest in AIoT lately and has spent a lot of time observing and researching the intersection of AI and IoT, a.k.a. Edge AI and he has some interesting predictions to share. Connect with Scott on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottngerard #IoTShow #Predictions #Security #AIoT
Running AI at the edge is already a feat, but what about making ML models so small that you can run them directly on tiny sensors? That's exactly what Neuton is about. In this new #IoTShow episode with Blair Newman and Danil Zherebtsov we discuss how they were able to achieve this taking a novel approach to optimizing Machine Learning for constrained devices.

What if some of the IoT technologies we think are essential are actually holding us back? Or rather, should we really be focusing and fighting that much around technology implementations? This conversation on the #IoTShow takes a wild turn when two IoT experts, whom I like to call the IoT Watchmen, Rob Tiffany, Director at IDC and Rob Van Kranenburg, Senior Policy and Communication expert, suggest waving goodbye to MQTT and Kubernetes. And when you think the conversation can't get any better, they share their perspectives on the impact of the geopolitics landscape will have on the industry. Intrigued? Curious? Just dive in! #IoT #IndustrialIoT #IIoT #InternetofThings #MQTT #Kubernetes #Edge #EdgeAI
Have you ever wondered how much power your IoT device really consumes and what the impact of your software has on energy consumption? I mean, really measured it? What if there was a way to know for sure, to optimize it as soon as during development and then leverage the same tools to do diagnostics and maintenance? "Energy is the key aspect, not really as a primary product feature, but to achieve the objective of whatever that product is." Matt Liberty invented JouleScope, an affordable, practical, and customizable device that can measure energy usage from microamps to amps with ease giving you real time insights into your device's energy consumption.
