BostonConsultingGroup(BCG) reports: The IoT changes the way companies (e.g. waste management, medical devices, wellness or insurance companies, etc.) conduct business and how people interact with the physical world. Some companies have passed the first wave of use cases in IoT, such as predictive maintenance. They use the power of sensor-based, real data to rethink, why, how and where they use IoT - and ultimately how they generate revenue from it. The lessons learned from the innovation cases show that success consists not only in focusing on the technology but also in a holistic approach to a transformation of the business.
This is my introduction into FIspace that was used for the presentation of Jaap van der Pol, a student from the Free University of Amsterdam that did his MSc thesis research on a Business Model for FIspace, the B2B collaboration platform for Agri-Food, Transport & Losgistics. I included the main concluding slides from him in this presentation.

OT - How IoT will Impact Future B2B and Global Supply Chains - SS14Mark Morley, MBA
This presentation was originally given at an EDIFICE plenary in Brussels in May 2014. EDIFICE is a European based industry association driving B2B standards across the high tech industry. The presentation discussed digital disruption and how the Internet of Things is likely to impact future design of B2B platforms and global supply chains. - Updated March 2015
In the second half of the 20th century, factories began incorporating automation technology and sophisticated electronics into their production processes, jumpstarting a period now often referred to as the 3rd Industrial Revolution. PLCs were instrumental in this change in production and a key player in the adoption of Industry 3.0. Now, companies are implementing internet-connected sensors, advanced data systems, and other technologies that fall under the umbrella of “Internet of Things”, a process that’s considered to be the 4th Industrial Revolution. Will PLCs continue to be a ubiquitous part of production processes as more companies introduce cyber-physical systems? Or is the death of the PLC imminent?

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

Sharpen existing tools or get a new toolbox? Contemporary cluster initiatives...Orkestra
UIIN Conference, Madrid, 27-29 May 2024
James Wilson, Orkestra and Deusto Business School
Emily Wise, Lund University
Madeline Smith, The Glasgow School of Art
This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.

Company presentation
Visual Tools is a Spanish company who develops
technology innovation for digital video systems applied
to security (surveillance) and remote control of
operations
Our contribution to this Forum is two-fold:
Technology perspective. We have succeeded in
developing and marketing products offering actual
solutions for energy saving
Market perspective. We are an important player in a
market, the security market, that is well established in the
domotic and tertiary sectors offering products and
solutions demanded by consumers
4. 4 of 13
The Technology of Visual Tools
We have developed the concept of “visual
intelligence” over the past three years. By
using computer vision techniques our
products analyze the images of video
security cameras to extract actual data and
alerts (suspicions)
Some examples follow.
Outdoors object tracking
Indoors object tracking in a Commercial
Mall
5. 5 of 13
People Counting and Data Analysis
System
Using computer vision systems one can:
Count the number of people passing through a
certain area
Estimate the visitors flow distribution in a shopping
mall
Measure the occupation of a museum or large
building
Warn when some premises are empty
Applying advanced analysis techniques to the
people counting data one can drive conclusions
and forecast future trends
Example of visitors flow analysis in a shop during a
whole year and similarities with the electric demand
curve
6. 6 of 13
Other Real Applications of the
Technology
The company is currently working in inmotic projects (domotic
applied to the Tertiary sector)
In a shopping mall in Italy our system counts the number of
visitors and uses that information to control in real-time the heat,
ventilation and air-conditioning, and the working periods of
escalators and elevators. The goal is saving 25% of the electric
consumption
In an office building the system generates a signal when the
occupation of the building goes below a certain threshold. This
signal is used to schedule pre-programmed switch-off of certain
secondary services in pre-determined areas
We are currently developing new technologies for the DIGITAL
HOME together with key players at world-wide level such as
FAGOR and PHILIPS. These projects are partially funded by the
EU

Domotics and the Security Market
Domotics is a business in a very early
stage:
21 M€ in 2003
30% annual growth
Thirty five thousand domotic installations
are estimated in new homes built up during
2005
Average cost of a domotic installations is
estimated in ca. 2.000 €
8. 8 of 13
Domotics
Some domotic systems currently installed in Spain are:
shutters and illumination control
Technical alarm detection
Intrusion alarm detection
Smart management of Heat, Ventilation and Air-conditioning
systems
The five main application areas of domotics:
Security
• Indoors
• Outdoors
Confort Management
Energy saving
Communication infrastructure
Entertainment
9. 9 of 13
The Security Market
The number of alarm systems installed in
Spain is estimated in four million units
(residential plus tertiary sectors)
More than one million alarm systems are
connected to Central Security Stations
The number of alarms systems increases in
three hundred thousand units per year
10. 10 of 13
¿Why domotics does not succeed?
Some important causes:
Inadequate distribution channels
Home Builders are not willing to bear the cost in
new constructions
The consumers are not so much motivated by
saving energy but by increasing their confort level
Wireless (and PLC) technologies will play a
substantial role because
• They enable the retrofitting of existing homes...
• ... But the current offer is still limited
11. 11 of 13
The security market could be the
solution (i.e. Killer application)
Energy saving in homes/companies is not
first priority
Users will only move if they are provided
with a complete solution (whole product)
The companies serving the security market
have a strong position in contacting the
consumers who allow them
To Install security products in their homes
To Use the home communication lines to
test the system, to send bidirectinal orders,
to change configurations remotely,...
12. 12 of 13
Conclusions
Technology Innovation is not the only factor
to provide new solutions...
… playing ‘the commercial game’
differently, i.e. new distribution channels,
novel market segmentation,… is also a key
factor of innovation that can be essential to
trigger the success of products demanded
by users
