Panel ModeratorJames B. McClellanTechnology Infusion Chief NASA Headquarters - Office of CIO • James is the Technology Infusion Chief for NASA in the Office of Chief Information Officer (OCIO) responsible for coordinating the NASA CTO community, developing IT Strategic Vision for NASA, and managing Agency level IT innovation projects. He is the lead of the NASA IoT effort.
Panel MemberDr. Stephan BillerVice President for Offering ManagementIBM Watson IoT • Stephan is Vice President at IBM Watson IoT responsible for IBM's Industrial IoT, Industry 4.0, and Asset & Smart Buildings solution suites.
Panel MemberKent CunninghamChief Technology Officer, U.S. Federal Civilian GovernmentMicrosoft Corporation • Kent is the Chief Technology Officer for Microsoft’s Federal Civilian Government division and responsible for driving cloud technologies such as IOT, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence across the segment; in alignment with Federal mandates and unique mission or policy requirements.
Panel MemberH. Brent Baker, Sr., Vice President of PTC Inc.Worldwide Federal Aerospace and Defense (FA&D)Major General – USAF (retired) • Brent is responsible for first to market software solutions to include the Internet of Things and Augmented Reality.
SESSION DESCRIPTIONThe Internet of Things (IoT) • The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of industrial machines, vehicles, consumer devices, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these things to connect, collect and exchange data. • IoT describes a world where just about anything can be connected and communicate in an intelligent fashion. In other words, with the Internet of Things, the physical world is becoming one big information system.
Internet of Things (IoT) Projects • What is the scope of IoT? • Activity of sensors • Advanced (smart) connector networks with security • The Platform the sensor data goes to • Applications and Analytics • What are IoT Projects??? • Should be based on Business goals • Process of collecting data and turning it into useful information • Think big, start small, scale fast
SESSION LEARNING OBJECTIVES This session will discuss some of the challenges of implementing IoT in your company. • Some facts about IoT • Some ways to deal with the challenges
Facts about IoT Brownfields innovation • The reality is that 95% or more of industrial IoT innovations are incremental improvements over existing – and critical – production systems.
Question 1 • Q: “Many IoT innovations are designed to improve existing and important processes. What kinds of brownfield improvement projects have your teams worked on, and what were their lessons learned?”
Facts about IoT Anticipating and managing complexity • IoT systems are very complex. • Some of this draws from the fact that most are brownfield innovations that inherent the technical debt of the existing production environment. • That said, even net new IoT innovations are very complicated. • Most include data from many sources, driving decisions in a manner that is more complicated that most business systems.
Question 2 • Q: “IoT systems are quite complex. What are some development and deployment challenges that your teams have encountered? What would your advice for anticipating and managing those issues be?”
Facts about IoT Talent • It is very difficult to find architects or technical team members that are fluent in all of the components of the IoT solution end-to-end. • When you consider the skills required are: • Sr. IT skills (i.e. Architect), Cloud PaaS experience (relevant to IoT development) and embedded compute experience then the number of available individuals in the US in is literally under 100. • If you add in brownfield specific knowledge (such as process or ICS expertise) these folks become unobtainable. This requires building multi-disciplinary teams that cross-train and collaborate.
Question 3 • Q: “IoT architects and developers are hard to recruit. What strategies are your clients using to address this problem?”
Wrap Up Slide • Promise of IoT • Final thoughts on getting started
