Congress Mission & Philosophy
IoT Solutions World Congress is committed to providing our attendees with real world use cases to educate IoT professionals about how to best e v a luate and deploy Industry IoT opportunities to improve business outcomes. In this three day program, congress attendees will hear from end-users, deployment experts, standards organizations, government agencies, and industry peers that are realizing the potential of the Industrial IoT landscape.
You will learn how industrial IoT innovations, technologies, standards and the utilization of data is improving efficiencies, reducing costs, changing business models and creating service revenue streams that were previously unforeseen. Regardless of where your organization is in incorporating these technologies and solutions, the Congress is where you will the gain the knowledge to move forward into the next phase of your Industry IoT vision.
Internet of things in Manufacturing
The application of the Internet of Things to the manufacturing sector signifies huge operational improvements.
Asset performance, predictive maintenance, improved safety, increased productivity, the use of augmented operators and the smart enterprise are what manufacturers want to achieve with IoT.
Learn how companies are prioritizing their needs, gaining an understanding of what differentiates their business from others in order to build their vision and execution plan. Hear how they are bridging legacy systems, integrating with suppliers and the roadblocks and solutions in their implementations.
Internet of Things in Energy & Utilities
Energy companies are constantly looking for ways to differentiate themselves from competitors, improve the efficiency of their operations, and ultimately capture future market share. At the same time Utility companies are faced with the advent of renewable and distributed power generation, both of which demand a more flexible smart grid that can handle multiple energy sources (like wind and solar) in a decentralized and bi-directional network.
Learn how IIoT is creating a fundamental shift in advanced energy production and distribution technology, management and services while leveraging existing investments in infrastructure and operations. See how a deeper level of interoperability, connectivity, and automation through IIoT enables Energy companies and Utilities to be more agile, more flexible and efficient, improve outage management, enable automatic and remote fine-tuning, transform energy data into new services, prevent theft, predict asset performance, and smoothly integrate all types of energy in a connected system.
Internet of Things in Healthcare
From overall cost, to the experience in the hospital and patient outcomes, technology is changing and improving healthcare. Costs can be reduced by the use of remote patient monitoring and reducing the number of hospital visits. Sensor technology offers tracking of medical devices and improves overall efficiency. Predictive maintenance decreases downtime of medical equipment offering consistent and accurate use.
Learn from companies and facilities and how they are overcoming internal politics and regulation issues to provide connected healthcare, wearables, security in mobile healthcare, and improving patient care through the efficient use and distribution of data.
Internet of Things in Buildings & Infrastructure
The adoption of Industrial IoT is creating opportunities as well as the need for change in organizations including new business models, workforce transformation and finding new forms of finance and funding. The collection and utilization and new and existing data is providing opportunities for higher service levels and new revenue streams.
Organizations are adapting and changing to act upon these opportunities by re-structuring, changing product offerings, revising sales and service models as well as go to market strategies and reaping the ROI. Hear how IIoT is changing organizations and how they do business today and in the future.
Internet of Things in Open Industry
New technologies, applications and solutions as well as new uses of those existing are propelling the Industrial Internet. Testbed collaborations continue to be developed that are changing industry and resulting in greater potential innovation and productivity. Substantial implications will be seen across many vertical industries including manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and energy, utilities and more.
Hear how the utilization of technologies that support interoperability, real-time streaming analytics, API management, standards and methodologies, security, and intelligent platforms are turning huge amounts of data into powerful new insights and intelligence.
