IoT in Mining: Current Capabilities & Future Pathways

This webinar will provide an overview of the Xilinx and AWS IoT respective technology stacks and how the companies have worked together to provide integrated reference designs that customers can use to jumpstart their Industrial IoT (IIoT) solution. The presenters will reference a functioning Xilinx with AWS IoT enabled distributed control application example that leverages the scale of AWS Cloud application provisioning, system dashboards, secure cloud communications.

Is PKI the answer for securing the Internet of Things? As Gartner and other industry experts have pointed out, PKI has been used to authenticate and secure machines and devices for decades. Beyond identifying the devices, PKI offers both the encryption necessary for communicating sensitive and proprietary information, as well as the data integrity needed for the "big data" that comes from IoT to have any value.

There's gold in legacy devices—if you can reach it. Long-serving equipment, machines and systems may be the backbone of industrial manufacturing, but many if not most were built and installed in the years before today's on-board microprocessors and Ethernet or wireless network connections were available. It's this lack of data processing and connectivity that makes it difficult to access the useful data that many plant-floor devices contain. However, there are a few ways to overcome these obstacles, and take advantage of the insights and efficiencies this equipment can provide.

Enterprises are struggling to see value from their IoT implementations. Some of the key challenges with IoT implementations revolve around a simple task — getting real-time data from the edge devices. Challenges include network availability, latency, cost of roundtripping between the edge and the enterprise, monitoring etc.
