Episode 97

The technology of the software-defined product, containing the digital twin, is the most important technology in IoT – the most important because it’s directly related to creating value. Sometimes it can get a bit confusing.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), where I share with you three lessons from the ICIP Technology course. The first, a simple example to demonstrate the software-defined product and digital twin. Then, an overview lesson on standards and protocols, and finally an overview lesson on IoT analytics and big data ...




Episode 96

Okay, our blockchain discussion isn’t quite over yet. Let me ask the question again, is blockchain ready to transact IoT business? The answer is still a resounding “no” but let me caveat it by saying, there are newer technologies that address blockchain’s bottlenecks and deployment weaknesses.

Episode 95

Is blockchain ready to transact IoT business? That’s the question I’ve been trying to answer during this mini series. While the quest has been intellectually interesting and frustrating at the same time, the answer is a resounding “no.” Although the tech is cool, blockchain is nowhere near ready to be used for business within the budgetable future.

Episode 94

There’s an evangelical tone surrounding blockchain and if you believe some of its biggest preachers, blockchain will completely change how the internet, and by association, the Internet of Things, will work, and in the process, will change the world. When I find myself slipping into this worldview I shake myself back into reality by looking at it from a business perspective.

Episode 93

Want to incorporate blockchain into IoT? Well, that’s a pretty tall order but you have two ways to go about it. Go it alone to build the world’s best IoT blockchain protocol and hope it’s adopted or join others that have similar goals to build the world’s best IoT blockchain protocol in hopes that it’s adopted.

Episode 92

Blockchain. One of the few technologies more hyped than IoT. Put them together and it’s a hypefest. But is it warranted? Honestly, I don’t know but I can tell you, for me, the decision is not going to be based on if it’s cool tech, it’s going to be based on, if that cool tech contributes to making more money.

Episode 91

The thing about the GDPR, whether we like it or not, is that it’s forcing us to do the right things when it comes to sensitive data in IoT. While there’s certainly a burden to bear, following its regulations on subject’s rights is a guide book on the right way to handle consumer privacy. So use its introduction as a reason to catapult this part of your business forward.

The GDPR, or General Data Protection Regulation, is coming – whether we like it or not. Before you dismiss it as a European thing, take a second look, because on May 25, 2018, data privacy is going to change worldwide and forever. The EU is stepping up and leading the world in defining the future of data privacy.

Episode 87

The digital twin is a federation of data and models that can be analyzed or put into a simulation to create useful information about the past, present or future of the DTs physical twin. The type of model and the level of model can make or break the analysis or simulation.
