Abstract:

In the future, IoT and IIoT will touch every endeavor and every aspect of human existence and interaction. In this masterclass, CBT Chief Technologist, Charlie Stack will look at the implications of IoT and IIoT on the human condition in two key areas: education and quantum computing

Education:

Imparting education is the most critical activity for any progressive society. Therefore, it makes sense to use the latest technological advancements to make learning immersive, effective, and fun for the students. IoT in education is poised to be a game-changer because more and more educational institutions are using connected smart devices to support the already available e-learning and smartboard infrastructure. Here are some of the areas Charlie will cover where IoT can be used to augment education:

· Smart automated student tracking

· Personalized learning

· IoT-enabled smart boards and new-generation textbooks

· AI-powered research

· Special-needs programs

· Enhanced security for learning spaces

· Smart/connected classrooms

· Task-based learning

Quantum Computing:

Another fascinating area in the future of IoT is quantum computing. While this technology is still in its development stage, quantum computing has the potential to help address the challenges and issues that hamper the growth of IoT. Handling large amount of data, performing computations much faster than traditional computing platforms, and solving problems in relation to cybersecurity are just some of the things a powerful quantum computer can do. In this session, Charlie will explore three aspects of quantum computing:

· Combining quantum computing and IoT

· Optimized complex computation power

· Secure communications

Abstract:

For years our industry has worked hard to build IoT solutions comprised of unique hardware, emerging protocols, IoT platforms and data stores.  Each project represented new challenges, required deep expertise and was slowed down as each step was drudgingly resolved.  A project required special skills for:

• ensuring that protocols carried the right payloads
• traveled the right distances
• preserved the right amount of battery
• groomed at the edge
• securely encrypted against unknown threats
• real time processed in the cloud
• streamed to big data storage
• and many others

With Intelligent Assets we now have a simple app to use all of these technologies and engage with them with a business perspective.  Join this masterclass to see how easy it is to get started from approaching IoT from a business first approach, validation ROI before investment into hardware, discovering hardware ready out of the box and then planning for scale.

Course Overview:

Kickstarting the IIoT Journey with Connected Worker:

Connected Worker solutions have become increasingly more important as companies across many verticals have been forced to re-think their work environments, significantly reducing on-site staff and minimizing operational costs. Utilizing tools like live, bi-directional video sharing and digital workflows enabled on handsfree wearable compute devices and tablets, CBT’s Connected Worker solutions allow companies to maximize their remote staff by providing real-time access to critical data and resources in remote scenarios. These solutions empower field workers with effective ways to visualize, consume and communicate actionable information so they can make critical decisions safely, in real time, and at the actual point of work. Combined with sensor data, historical data and analytics, Connected Worker can be augmented to tackle condition-based monitoring, equipment reliability and proactive maintenance. Ultimately, these capabilities increase efficiency, productivity and safety while reducing costs. At CBT, we understand that Industrial IoT projects are complex and can be difficult to get off the ground. That’s why at CBT we take a crawl, walk, run approach. We commit the time and resources up front to make sure we’re minimizing your risk and maximizing your investment. Our unique approach ensures you have small, strategic wins and tangible ROI before you fund at scale.
