IoT Devices Can Kill and What Chip Makers Need to Do Now

Today, IoT is not just a technology but the greatest mean to digitize business processes, tap into data for better decision-making, and gain competitive advantage. It is understandable that there are enterprises that want a full control over their technology, and thus they want to build their own IoT platform. However, on the other hand, there are some risks associated with it. Since the inception of IoT, building vs buying an IoT platform has been the topic of debate.

AWS IoT Things Graph is a service which enables non-developers to visually create workflows between physical sensors, physical assets and web services to build intelligent networked solutions spanning physical and virtual things. In this tech talk, you will learn how to use prebuilt device abstractions and protocol translators to easily enable interactions between devices, even if they weren’t designed to work together. You'll see how built-in visual editing tools in Things Graph can be used to quickly arrange abstractions and deploy them in the cloud or on edge devices. Things Graph has powerful workflow management to automatically coordinate and track each step of the flow, and we will show you how you can take advantage of this and more.

Enterprises like Sagegreenlife are constantly innovating new ways to turn data from IoT devices into a strategic competitive advantage — and finding best practices to address their challenges. Sagegreenlife’s living walls, which serve companies by bringing nature into man-made spaces, required an easy-to-use and customizable IoT solution that would allow its field operations team to remotely monitor various facets of the irrigation and power systems that support the plants — leveraging both cloud services and highly reliable network connectivity.

Commercial and industrial product manufacturers are under increasing pressure to create value-added services, both to differentiate their products and create new revenue streams. Many are seeing the benefits of IoT-enabled services—and yet transitioning from a traditional business model based on product sales to one focused on EaaS (Equipment-as-a-Service) can be a challenge.
