IoT the driver of Business Innovation: better products, new services and...Eurotech
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is data. Data is the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT world where data are generated to IT world where data are consumed. To make this happen, a IoT integration platform, that gives to the App an easy and versatile access to the data, is required . As a matter of fact the IoT essence resides in an impressive simplification of the OT-IT integration through a loosely coupled containerized layered (LC2L) architecture. The benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization. Abundance of data is the real essence of IoT, where the App is the tip of the data iceberg.

Kapua provides a core integration framework with services for device registry, data and device management, message routing, and applications.
In this webinar, learn about two municipal water districts that upgraded to SCADA systems with unlimited clients, tags, and connections, built on an innovative controls platform with deeply embedded cyber security. Don Pearson, chief strategy officer of Inductive Automation, and Albert Rooyakkers, CEO of Bedrock Automation, will have an informative discussion with Dee Brown, principal of Brown Engineers, the award-winning integration firm that implemented new systems combining Ignition and Bedrock Automation technologies for water districts in Clarksville, Ark., and Russellville, Ark. Since switching to new Ignition SCADA systems with secure Bedrock controllers, both water districts have experienced great results and plan to expand their use in the future.
Distributed control systems for manufacturing are currently evolving towards Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) systems. Sensors and actuators get equipped with internet connectivity, which allows them to interface with cloud platforms. This potentially enables a number of application cases. However, industrial "things" may be much more complex and more resource-constrained than typical consumer space "things". This talk provides an overview of Industrial IoT application cases and sketches various challenges for researchers and practitioners using the example of turning a level sensor for industrial tanks into an IoT device.

TechWiseTV Workshop - Q&A - Application Hosting on the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Sw...Robb Boyd
Enterprise networks are now dealing with massive volumes of data, with a critical need to collect and analyze this data to respond faster and deliver insightful context. Traditional approaches, in which data is processed in remote servers, will no longer work. Data can burden the network unless some context is known. Edge computing can greatly reduce the data sent to the cloud or a remote server. Collecting and analyzing the data at the edge and making decisions locally rather than in centralized servers significantly reduces the latency and bandwidth of the network.
Powered by an x86 CPU, the application hosting solution on the Cisco Catalyst 9000 switching family provides the intelligence required at the edge. Native Docker engine support on the switches will enable users to build and bring their own applications without additional packaging. Cisco DNA Center will provide consistent workflows to manage the entire application lifecycle across multiple Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches through the App Hosting dashboard.

Protect Kubernetes Environments with Cisco Stealthwatch CloudRobb Boyd
TechWiseTV Workshop airing live on Wednesday Feb 13, 2019. Catch the replay (and more) at www.techwisetv.com
Description:
Kubernetes is the go-to orchestration solution for automating and scaling a container deployment, be it on premises or in the public cloud. While Kubernetes helps organizations reduce costs and become more agile, it can be difficult to gain east-west visibility into network traffic within containers. This creates visibility gaps that threats could use to avoid detection
Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud provides visibility, analytics, threat detection, and policy monitoring within containers, pods, and nodes. It easily integrates with Kubernetes deployments on premises, in private clouds, or in a public cloud, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
Stealthwatch Cloud provides an unprecedented level of access into inter-pod and intra-pod communications with your distributed containerized applications.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

So the question is how do you Transform yourself to gear for these possibilities
To transform into a successful digital business you will need 3 critical capabilities
Transform Processes and Business Models which leads to faster time to market and leaner operations
Explosion of connected devices disrupts value chains paving the way for Business Model disruption. By 2020, one million new devices will go online every hour which enabling quicker automated decisions driving efficiencies to a new level
Personalize Customer/Citizen experience which leads to increased customer loyalty and greater insight to predict future purchases
Why so?
Accenture surveyed ~13,000 consumers in 33 different countries and found that 66% i.e 2 out of every 3 consumers switched providers due to poor customer experience and by 2016 Gartner predicts that “89%i.e 9 out of every 10 companies will compete primarily on the basis of the customer experience
Empower their workforce for efficiency and innovation which leads to increased productivity and better employee retention
Again, why does this matter?
Gallup surveyed over 1000 employees each in about 142 countries representative of 98% of the world population and found that about 87% of employees are disengaged and when companies address this dissatisfaction and bring it town to 10%, their earnings per share jumps by a whopping 50%
These changes are forcing companies to become more digital when people and things interact to conduct business

Only Cisco brings all aspect of the technology, solutions and strategy together to enable you successfully navigate the Journey to a digital business
Cisco has itself transformed the way it operates through the application of this process
Our operating models are changing to a more consumption based model
20-40% is actually lighting contribution to OpEx. HVAC is the other major contributor …
More efficient, easier to manage buildings and better occupant productivity, safety and comfort
Lighting can have a profound impact on the workforce experience. IN fact, studies have shown that natural light can improve employee productivity, reduces headaches and eye fatigue (unlike fluorescent, there is no flickering with LED lights), and generally makes people happier and healthier.
Only LED lights can most closely approximate natural light.
Let’s learn more about how this whole new approach of integrating lighting into your IP network will help you transform your workplace for the better on several fronts. Let’s start with the employee or user experience.
In an office building, smart+connected lighting can help improve productivity, because the high color rendering index allows you to closely approximate natural light, which resource has shown improves moods, productivity, health and more.
With network-enabled lights, you can program lights to suit individual desires or task requirements using your laptop, mobile device, or on a tablet mounted to the wall. Another way for settings to follow you would be to scan QR code on wall and settings change.
So building occupants can easily adjust temperature to suit individual preferences at the same time. And turn on preset phone and video profiles. That way, when an employee signs in to a desk, the system will automatically shift to all his or her preferred settings.
Not only that, Network-enabled lighting as part of a converged building network and integrated sensors gives you fixture-level control from anywhere.
Cisco Digital Ceiling converges previous disparate building networks and services (eg, Lighting, HVAC, metering, window coverings, CCTV, Security, analytics) over IP networks.
Ecosystem: Cisco is also launching a global partner ecosystem to accelerate the transition to a Digital Ceiling comprised of 19 (and counting) industry leaders in their field – including Johnson Controls, Philips, Cree, Eaton, Siemon.
Software: Open information model that enables interoperability by establishing a common language for devices and endpoints to communicate over Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP).
Hardware: Optimizations in Cisco Catalyst switches such as, Perpetual PoE, CoAP, and Cisco UPOE. The switches also have software enhancements to integrate with intelligent sensors (motion, light, temperature, infrared, humidity).
Philips is a global strategic alliance partner, providing LED products and full connected lighting systems.

… now about the full Digital Ceiling Partner Community.
Beginning: Many separate lines and protocols, but what line did they converge onto? The data network. Why? Easiest to install Cat6 cable and you get software control of all aspects of the service: power, data, and control.
IP Telephony: Voice integrated into software for collaboration productivity and unified communications.
IP Cameras: Simplified bandwidth, storage, access for video information. No longer limited to just what’s on recent tape for surveillanc.e
Building Management: Central management across multiple buildings. For example, at Cisco our facilities team manages all 300 of our worldwide buildings from just 4 operations centers. When you connect your building management to the network, you break free of having to control each building from inside.
Smart Lighting: Control from anywhere, easier to deploy.
Overall: Lower OpEx, and better People Experiences…enabled by Cloud Analytics on the data and central management of these services

Here you see how the digital ceiling can incorporate a variety of components to give you more holistic control and analytics. In this example, we have the IP cameras, the HVAC variable air valves, the “touch” wall switches, and various sensors in our digital ceiling—along with our LED PoE light fixtures.
You can converge these components into one secure network using Cisco PoE switches optimized for connected lighting. By integrating with lighting control systems, building control systems, Cisco Energy Management Suite, and powerful apps, you have new tools that can help you control energy use…deliver better worker and customer experiences….and enable business analytics.

Enabled Analytics: energy consumption
Results
Converged 5 networks into 1 (HVAC, Metering, lighting, CCTV, Access) to lower OpEx
Anticipated Toronto’s 1st LEED Platinum certification
This is Waterpark Place THREE (part of large enterprise cluster)
Aiming to be the city's first LEED® Core and Shell Platinum office building
Ran CapEx numbers, OpEx numbers and Tenant Experience = three critical factors. Need to hit all three concurrently to win a deal.
Building leasing group was very powerful. Need the feature set to get tenants.
Did generate CapEx savings of 2-4%. Saved the building ~$600k on $100M project by collapsing multiple networks to 1.
31 story tower. 1M feet. Built on speculation they’d secure a tenant. RBC occupying 75% of the tower. Cisco is 4 floors (100k feet)
Base building is T5 flourescent. 28 watts is what we’re using. Will realize close to 50% power savings in relationship to other floors in the building.
Management … centralized operations center in complex. Expect to save 7% in OpEx (manpower, usage/manage building/issue resolution) to change light or thermostat …
Tenant satisfaction tracking … 2 years ago did a PwC building. Light switch/dimmer on Cisco phone (IP). Eliminating switch in the space. Satisfaction scores rose b/c more control of their environment.
Leads to concept of attracting and retaining people (lease component). Will be doing before/after studies… expect will rise b/c of the lighting. (MSPS, Cisco Maps, Triangulation)
Philips – LiFi app thye went live with at the Edge Building for Deloitte we’d like to turn on as an option to control. Also Antumbra switch – beautiful backlit light switch.
Philips has temp, Occupancy, light level sensor. Will use occupancy data to adjust other controls – such as fresh air brought into building. Lights will be providing that data.
Use CMX traingulation for lighting and space control…
Network had to go in earlier that it usually does. 3 years ahead of move in vs. week prior.
Fundamental secure enterprise network. PoE enabled devices. Underpinning of IoT or IoE.
Just finished case study with Delta Controls. Will send. (Thermostat people). Put on Cisco IP IoE network. Just over 2000 PoE thermostats in the building.
3800 ports. Largest PoE thermostat deployment globally.
Philips joins with lightbulb as PoE device. 4 years ago. For 4 floors of Cisco. Replaces 1400 Florescent fixtures. Now 1400 fixtures from Philips that are IP PoE.
Lighting as a service solution is born. Just the Cisco part.
Oxford wishes they could have done the whole building… but timing didn’t allow. Doing 2 more towers (Calgary and Toronto). Same architecture. Will likely go Leutron because PoE has to be specified earlier in the game.
Had they done PoE, would be 10k new ports in each building. So 30k ports and 3k ports for automation so roughly 40k ports we could have sold. Nuclear power plant, airport, etc already in play.
Let’s compare the scale of value of our top 3 potential smart lighting applications.
When we adapt lighting to actual user needs, the potential annual energy savings is on the magnitude of cents per sq ft.
A UC Berkeley study calculated that controlling lighting based on occupancy instead of user-controlled switches would save buildings $0.49/sq ft annually.
http://best.berkeley.edu/research/smartLighting/support/yozell-epstein_MS.pdf
Cisco’s own TCO analysis reveals that choosing LED bulbs instead of fluorescent will save another $0.59/sq ft annually.
[Source: Luis Suau]
This combines to $1.08/sq ft. annually
When we analyze sensor data about floor plan usage to make improvements in the layout of our workspaces, the value is on the order of dollars per sq ft.
Improve productivity per sq. ft. with improved building layouts verified by occupancy analysis
https://books.google.com/books?id=aPa4lT0gXJwC&pg=PA186&lpg=PA186&dq=productivity+per+square+foot+office&source=bl&ots=T6HKrpy9bf&sig=fqtwo2EFuQckDSHIF2oLptw2nME&hl=en&sa=X&ei=hhjpVLGCN9LfoATS4YHYDw&ved=0CDYQ6AEwBDgK#v=onepage&q=productivity%20per%20square%20foot%20office&f=false
Reduce absenteeism and illnesses due to poor air quality and low-quality light (productivity increases at stake estimated at $7B-$33B)
https://www.wbdg.org/pdfs/grn_bldgs_org_success.pdf
When it comes to customer experience, lighting plays a crucial role. With smart lighting, we can take customer experience to the another level with the potential of raising revenues on the order of hundreds of dollars per sq ft.
Lighting design is an integral part of store experience design.
Our retail customers use Internet of Everything technology to pinpoint areas of the store that aren’t converting shoppers to buyers. They can then measure how changes in merchandising, lighting, and layout improve sales in those areas.
The difference between America’s most successful retail stores and the least successful is hundreds of dollars per square foot in annual revenue (~$100/sq ft to $1000/sq ft)
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/11/18/most-successful-retail-stores/1710571/
When we talk about energy savings, we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible.
More efficient, easier to manage buildings and better occupant productivity, safety and comfort
