The Private Equity Digital Transformation Show (general)

By definition, an ecosystem brings together multiple products in order to deliver an outcome. However, today’s IoT standards don’t go far enough enable different products to work together. Another layer is needed to ensure ecosystem products speak the same language. In this episode of the IoT business show, I speak with David McCall about the Open Connectivity Foundation and the codebase they provide to enable smart home products from different vendors to talk to each other – exactly what you need for any ecosystem

I don’t want to be accused of being a hammer but if you think about it, IoT is the tech behind digital transformation. If your definition of IoT doesn’t include data science like mine does, then the technologies at hand are IoT and analytics and AI. Industrie four-zero addresses this tech as well as the political, environmental, corporate and academic issues that pave the way. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Henning Banthien about the unique and effective approach Plattform Industrie 4.0 takes in digitally transforming the discrete manufacturing industry.

No one company is big enough to provide an end-to-end industrial Internet of Things solution. Realizing this the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) was founded to bring together different solutions from different vendors to address different use cases. The end game, however, is not technology, but business – to understand what is needed to put together solutions that not only work well but sell well. I’m a big believer in ecosystems so, in this episode of the IoT Inc Business Show, I discuss the IIC with Stephen Mellor to see if this consortium is right for you.

Over the years now, I’ve been involved in the development of tens of IoT initiatives with my clients and there is only one thing they all have in common… Every one of them pivoted. And I don’t mean little pivots, I mean 180-degree pivots. The lesson here is to pivot fast and pivot early otherwise there’s a good chance you’re not going to make it out of Pilot Purgatory. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Phil Regenie about his early pivot and the lessons learn in taking his Senior care product to the pilot stage.

It’s no secret that the IIoT is enabling manufacturing to go through its next revolution. Some call it Industrie 4.0, but it goes further than the shop floor. The Industrial Internet (of Things) is virtualizing the entire manufacturing industry from supply chain to factory to distribution and along the way is having a profound effect on the workforce and the equipment used. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Tanja Rueckert about the hot topics of connected manufacturing and asset intelligence.

IoT consumer products are more expensive than their traditional counterparts, often by an order of magnitude. Not good but makes sense – the tech needs to be financed. But however innovative the products are, higher pricing will cause a headwind. Part of the problem is consumer IoT products are still being sold with traditional product business models. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Nate Williams about the opportunity to innovate consumer IoT business models.
