Internet of Everything - Connecting and Monetizing Ecosystems

Piezoelectric energy harvesting has seen very little commercial success despite decades of intensive research worldwide. Nonetheless, the number of patents on the subject is rising strongly and google trends show rising interest generally.

Why is Software AG’s Cumulocity IoT Platform ranked #1 for IoT enablement and device management?And how is it achieving results for the world’s largest manufacturers, such as savings of $150m annually and reducing plant downtime by two-thirds?

As the Internet of Things connects more and more everyday devices, previously closed systems are opened up for remote access and control. Assessing your readiness to tackle these threats is vital. In this session, Jorgen Hjort looks at how we can use strategies from the now mature mobility security market to better secure IoT devices.

Today’s IoT topology is a hodge-podge of standards, communication mechanisms, software, and hardware. Look at a typical home IoT environment that requires a unique hub for every IoT device. This results in complexity and interoperability challenges for widespread adoption and support. Sensors will continue to reduce in size, power, and cost but will remain constrained as to how many features one can bind into a small compute device. Communication standards at the Edge range from WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Zwave, Thread, ANT, and the list is growing. What is needed are smarter Edge devices that provide the services of communication routing, security, aggregation, and resiliency.
