Creating the local intelligence for an Internet of Things product requires special programming skills and knowhow to work within constrained environments. Environments possibly constrained by computing, networking, memory, power or all of the above. The effort to reduce manufacturing costs produces these constraints but sometimes the biggest costs are the ones you didn’t plan for.
Watch this video (or read the transcript) to see Peter Hoddie share his deep experience in programming constrained devices and the (business) issues to consider when planning development ...


The digital twin, as GE refers to it, or the software-defined product (SDP) as I teach it, is the critical component of incremental value generation in the Internet of Things. It’s always overlooked at the expense of the shiny things… and that’s a mistake. The digital twin or SDP is central to the IoT product/system/environment – interrogated by the product app and worked on and improved by analytics – it is the place to start when defining your IoT product requirements.
Watch this video (or read the transcript) to see Hima Mukkamala explain the importance of the digital twin and to put it into the perspective of the IoT platform ...

Before talking go to market strategy, we need to talk, go to green light strategy. For most people, internal or external, IoT is a big unknown and unknowns are scary. To get that IoT pilot started, think small and evolutionary.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), with Michael Minkevich about his experience in building IoT products and systems, and the best way to get them greenlit ...




Episode 38

Alright, let’s talk building an IoT product or system. Time to cycle through concept – ideation – proof of concept – prototype – MVP – product.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), part two of two, with Yuriy Pryadko who shares his experience in the 6-step journey to manufacturing or deployment. In part 2 we get into plenty of details and the numbers, using a fun but useful product example, this time in the consumer IoT space ...




Episode 37

Alright, let’s talk building an IoT product or system. Time to cycle through concept – ideation – proof of concept – prototype – MVP – product.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript), part one of two, with Yuriy Pryadko who shares practical advice on the 6-step journey to manufacturing or deployment. In part one we lay the foundation using an interesting example of an IoT system in the Fitness space, prepping us for episode 2 where we quantify the process ...


Is it in the billons or trillions? I can’t remember how many sensors there are supposed to be in 10 or is it 20 years. We get so many different predictions of the number of things in IoT it’s mind-numbing. Mind-numbing in that it’s hard to comprehend the size of the numbers being tossed around and mind-numbing because in trying to outdo each other, pundits count things differently.
Watch this video (or read the transcript) to see Dean Freeman go up and down and across the IoT food chain sizing the food chain along the way ...




Episode 36

Ripping out an existing SCADA system and replacing it with an IoT deployment isn’t going to happen any time soon. Whether it’s an oil pipeline or a water processing plant, the job of the OT guys is to keep things flowin’. Although the writing is on the wall, it’s going to take a lot more than the promise of information nirvana to change existing infrastructure.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with System Integrator Joel Hutton about his experience in applying the thin edge of the wedge to get an IoT pilot going with his clients ...

Episode 35

It’s one thing to be in a kickstarter–fueled start up developing your IoT product and quite another to be doing it within a structured corporate environment. Things get in the way. Priorities, personalities, politics and executive management. The same work needs to be done but other considerations need to be taken into account.
Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Jake Fields about his experience in working with IoT teams within the enterprise environment and the development steps to take to successfully make it through to the other side ...
