The Private Equity Digital Transformation Show

It’s difficult enough to manage network security or web security or application security or mobile security but when they all come together you have the Frankenstein-like monster called IoT security. And when they all come together you have the unique challenges of security system security too – welcome to IoT. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Daniel Miessler about the top security risks facing IoT and how to mitigate them. This is part one of a two-part interview..

Building an IoT product line isn’t just for the big guys. Small and medium-sized manufacturers can transform their business into Internet of Things powerhouses by following the same IoT playbook – albeit on a smaller scale. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Christian Shaffer about the steps his 20-person company took to unlock $2 million in recurring revenue.

AI today is getting better at learning. In fact, learning is what differentiates what we call AI from advanced analytics. Machine learning algorithms minimize an error function by autonomously and iteratively adjusting their model variables. But what’s next for AI and machine learning? In this episode of the IoT business show, I speak with James Canton, who in a meta way makes predictions about this prediction technology.

Convoluted Neural Networks or CNNs are a type of AI typically used in computer vision to process images, but they are also applicable to process the time series data we typically get from sensors in IoT. In this episode of the IoT show, I speak with Simon Crosby about how these CNNs can be used to make predictions about the future and reduce the massive amounts of data we collect to just the important stuff.

AI and in particular, deep learning, is a powerful tool for uncovering useful relationships within data; but once found, can’t explain what they mean. Contrast this with humans, armed with tribal knowledge and more traditional analytics, who understand the data relationships but just can’t find as many of them. In this episode of the IoT show, I speak with Drew Conway about how to find the balance between man and machine when looking for data value.

When talking AI in IoT what we’re really talking about is machine learning in IoT, and the one thing machine learning needs above all else is data. Lot’s and lots of data. Structured IoT data, when piped in properly can be transformed and loaded efficiently for machine learning to create beautiful, and more important, accurate models. In this episode of the IoT show, I speak with Anand Rao about the symbiotic relationship between AI and IoT.

Although AI has been around for over 60 years, it’s only been relatively recently that it’s been practical to apply it to real-world problems such as those found in IoT. One, because the computational power is now available and two, because vast amounts of data are now available to train it. In this episode of the IoT show, I speak with Richard Boire about the differences between artificial intelligence and analytics in the context of IoT.

There are two types of manufacturing: discrete manufacturing where the output is physical, countable things, and process manufacturing, where the output is chemistry – think oil & gas. Process manufacturing has been consistently instrumented for over two decades so it is not surprising that they’re a little ahead of their discrete counterparts on their path to IoT. In this episode of the IoT business show, I speak with Peter Zornio about IoT analytics in process manufacturing, and his advice is applicable to all industries.

Column-based versus row-based, SQL versus NoSQL and streaming versus batch are three of the most important dimensions to consider choosing your IoT database. But let’s get something clear, databases are two levels of indirection beyond what’s truly important: the IoT information you require. Databases support analytics support information. Having said that, the informed business manager on databases will ask the right questions and set the right priorities during ideation of the IoT product. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Nik Rouda who breaks down the data environments used in IoT today.

It seems like predictive analytics gets all the attention these days but generally speaking, it requires either a Data Scientist or a machine learning algorithm operating on lots of event data, in order to predict the all-important dimension of time, at least to any degree of useful certainty. Enter prognostic analytics. In a closed system of uniform conditions, prognostic analytics can make better predictions about the “when”. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Moritz von Plate about how the characteristics of this older-school stats make it very well suited for predictive maintenance in Industrial IoT.

OK, get ready for it, we’re going to get down and dirty with predictive analytics and when I say dirty, I mean the mathematics of the different forms of predictive models dirty. Geekfest? Yes, but close your eyes and extrapolate how predictive analytics can be applied to your situation. By understanding how it works you will also understand the limits of what it can and cannot do. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I deep dive with Anil Gandhi and emerge with a better understanding of predictive analytics and how it really relates to real-time and descriptive analytics.

Descriptive analytics is nothing new, however, IoT is applying evolutionary forces to make it adapt to unstructured sensor data and evolve into a mechanism of discovery rather than report generation. Tools that blend traditional business intelligence, analytical modeling and visualization now help data scientists discover the story behind the data which can lead to valuable insights for the enterprise. In this episode of the IoT business show, I speak with Dave Rubal about how to apply descriptive analytics to your Internet of Things.

In the Internet of Things, there are generally three classes of analytics performed: real-time analytics done of the fly alerting you to anomalies; predictive analytics performed as a post process yielding a prediction and confidence level and descriptive analytics that reports on past, present or future data with visualizations that often result in the biggest insights. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I discuss the differences in these types of analyses with Shepherd Shi, as well as the steps that are taken before and after.

The digital twin can be hierarchical – representing environments, systems, products and even parts. When digitizing supply networks with digital twins, the network can be a digital twin of its systems, which can be digital twins of their assets, which can be digital twins of their parts which themselves can be digital twins. Sound complicated? It doesn’t need to be. Start at the level of the hierarchy that returns the most value and proceed from there. In this episode of the IoT Business Show I speak with Dr. Lane Warshaw and Aaron Parrott about the digital twin and its profound use in digital supply networks.

The reason the digital twin, or software-defined product, as I prefer to call it, is the most important IoT tech, is because it’s the basis for the unique functionality possible from using the Internet of Things. Going beyond smarts or connectivity, it is this unique functionality that creates value, enough value that results in a profitable IoT product.

Using external data in addition to your internal data is strategic. Besides public microservices, business systems, and IoT products, an emerging source of external data is the datamart, otherwise known as the data marketplace or data exchange – places where you can buy and sell data on the open market. But should you sell your data and are there any other options to do so? In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Tim Panagos about setting up your own datamart and the inherent value in doing so - even if you don’t plan on selling anything at all.

Opensource software is mainstream. But opensource data? Yeah, and it can be found in a datamart near you. The thinking is, if you make your data freely available for all to use; all will improve it. It will be made more consumable, you will get feedback on how to use it and perhaps counterintuitively, you will learn how to value it. In this episode of the IoT Inc Business Show, I speak with Nicolas Terpolilli about applying the opensource ethos to data within the data exchange.

It’s a heck of a lot easier than it used to be but most IoT projects still involve custom system integration – the question now is how much. Although the definition of an IoT platform, or AEP, is not always clear, what is clear is that using a platform saves a lot of time and a lot of system integration work. There may be legitimate reasons to develop your own platform in house but by definition, this means you become a software company – big time. In this episode of the IoT Business show, I speak with Bryan Kester to get his take on what an IoT platform is, the technologies involved and a candid view on the strengths and weaknesses of IoT platforms today.

There’s a symbiotic partnership between standards organizations, like the IETF and IEEE, and the non-profit alliances, groups, and IoT consortia. The IoT industry needs standards but sometimes the standards organizations, when left to their own devices, can be guilty of satisfying only the vendors’ needs who are on the committees or being too broad, satisfying everyone but producing nothing of value. The non-profit IoT consortia play a major role in driving requirements for these standards and their subsequent testing, certification, and marketing. The grey zone is when the consortia get into the standards game. There’s value in making “standards” of standards but it can also be detrimental to the industry at large when they are not made open to the public.
