The document discusses the importance of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its benefits, particularly for businesses like an automated embroidery plant, highlighting the potential for improved decision-making through real-time data collection and analysis. It outlines key technology and business trends, emphasizing the role of open source software and seamless connectivity in enhancing productivity and reducing costs. Additionally, it promotes the educational offerings of Emertxe, a leading IT finishing school in India, focusing on embedded technologies.

1. IoT: What's in it for me?
Team Emertxe @ NIT, Warangal
Hackathon on: Aug 23-24, 2014

2. Topics
 Brief introduction
 Key business and technology trends
 The role of Open Source
 How can you benefit from this?
 Demos

3. Brief Introduction

4. Its big and real
Any TIME, Any THING, Any PLACE connection

5. Its your things
Your Things = Embedded Technologies, Your Data = Data Science

6. A case to consider
 Amit is a automated embroidery plant owner with investment of 5
million USD
 He imports yarn, stiches them using machines and ships to his
potential customers worldwide
 Today he don’t have any clue about:
• What is my yarn usage percentage?
• How much % of yarn is getting wasted?
• Which embroidery machine is utilized how much percentage (machine
productivity)?
• Suppose some machine is not utilized properly what is the reason
(labor was on leave, machine failure, trade union strike etc..)
• How my machine operators are performing (manual productivity)?
• Suppose I want to expand my plat capacity by 10x how do I know
where and how to invest?
• In case of emergency in my plant, how do I get alerts?
Core issue: Heterogeneous entities in the plant (machinery, human being, computer)

7. What if..
 All different types of embroidery machine’s information is gathered real
time - Sensors & Embedded devices
 Exported into a centralized server using a local network - Networking
 The server runs an application that mashes real time information and
creates live dashboard – Cloud hosted applications
 The whole information is exported via mobile application to monitor
management on a 24x7x365 basis - Mobile apps
 Over a period of time Amit gets to see data and make intelligent decisions
on 10x expansion- Data mining, intelligence, analytics

8. Key Trends

9. Business trends
Costs are falling
(Chips, Storage)
Acception of Internet as a center
(SaaS, PaaS, IaaS)
Doing more with less
(Improve productivity, Bring down cost)
M2M is here to stay
(More device talking with each other )
Money-Honey!
(Economic benefits up-to $6.2 trillion)

10. Technology trends
Open Source Software
(GPL, Linux Kernel, Apache)
Standard Protocol & Interfaces
(REST, HTTP, SOAP)
Seamless connectivity
(Wi-Fi, LTE)
Open Hardware
(Raspberry-Pi, Panda, UDOO)
Community & Forums - Moderation
(Linux Foundation)

11. The role of Open Source

12. How it all started?
 With GNU (GNU is not UNIX)
 Richard Stallman made the initial announcement in 1983, Free Software
Foundation (FSF) got formed during 1984
 Volunteer driven GNU started developing multiple projects, but making it as
an operating system was always a challenge
 During 1991 a Finnish Engineer Linus Torvalds developed core OS
functionality, called it as “Linux Kernel”
 Linux Kernel got licensed under GPL, which laid strong platform for the
success of Open Source
 Rest is history!

13. How it evolved?
Kernel
Applications
Customization
 Multiple Linux distributions started emerging around the Kernel
 Some applications became platform independent
 Community driven software development started picking up
 Initially seen as a “geek-phenomenon”, eventually turned out to be an
engineering marvel
 Centered around Internet
 Building a business around open source started becoming viable
 Redhat set the initial trend in the OS business

14. Where it stands now?
OS Databases Server/Cloud Enterprise
Consumer Education CMS eCommerce

15. Kernel history

16. Embedded + Kernel
 Non x86 architectures in Embedded Systems
 Secure and portable monolithic architecture
 Supports multiple instructions (ARM, MIPS, PPC etc…) – ideal for Embedded
 Quality and reliability of code
 Communication protocols and software standards
 Cost and Time-to-market advantages
 Vendor independence

17. Engineering marvel

18. How you can benefit from this?

19. Three RECW stories

20. WIIFM: Three things
Build “real” and “cool”
things
(Solutions using boards)
Learn “community” way of
developing software
(Its just NOT you)
Understand “engineering” a
product/software
(Agile, Continuous
Integration, TDD etc…)
