How UNS and GenAI can help democratize OT data

What technologies and concepts will help make Industry 4.0 a reality? IoT, AI, Edge AI, GenAI, UNS are some of the many topics we discuss with Christophe Cremon, Solutions Architect breathing and living Industrial IoT on a daily base. Christophe will share a very concrete a realistic scenario that illustrates how the combination of all these modern digital technologies can help empower factory floor operators as well as business teams by unifying, contextualizing and democratizing data from the edge to the cloud. Christophe will also demo an interesting and relevant use case for genAI in Industrial Automation. Are you ready to talk to your factory floor equipment and assets?

Is Home Automation ready for production

Home automation promises convenience and efficiency, but the journey to reliable automation is still challenging, even for technology savvy people. In this episode of the IoT Show, Shane Baldacchino, seasoned automation engineer and blogger joins me to explore the steep learning curve involved in setting up a dependable home automation system. We’ll discuss the essential components Shane used in his own system, such as digital and analog sensors, MQTT protocols, and the pros and cons of cables and wireless protocols. From PLC's to Arduinos and Home Assistant we will cover how Home Assistant is making home automation more accessible, yet why understanding the basics remains indispensable. Finally, we’ll discuss what's required in terms of standards and levels of abstraction to democratize Home Automation, looking at technology like Matter or Home Assistant.

“Chic” has a new spelling and might change IoT communications

Alexander Pelov, co-inventor of SCHC tells us all about the standard that allows running IP-based protocols like MQTT over LPWAN networks like LoRaWAN. SCHC, pronounced "chic" will change the game for IoT. Check out why and how in this new episode of the IoT Show and learn more about SCHC at https://lab-schc.fr/ and check out the GitHub repo at https://gitlab.com/lab-schc/sdk/full-sdk-delivery

From air traffic control to care traffic control with Digital Twins

You certainly are familiar with or have at least heard of location based applications used to precisely locate assets, machines, individuals in or out of buildings. Among all these applications, the ones that stand out and frankly really add value, are the ones that don’t just do observation of things location. They are the ones that allow automation and integration into workflows. Location does matter, and we will discuss why with Paul on this new episode of the IoT Show. Paul comes from the world of Air Traffic Control and is an entrepreneur passionate about using IoT and location based services for innovations in healthcare. He even came up with the concept of Care Traffic Control and built leveraging Digital Twins. Learn more at https://WhyWhereMatters.com

Did you know there is an MQTT Broker in Azure?

If you are using the MQTT protocol to connect your IoT devices to the Cloud or to communicate with one another, you will want to check out the Azure Event Grid MQTT Broker. Seth is a Program Manager in the Event Grid team and will tell us all we need to know, as IoT practitioners, about this new feature of Event Grid. Yes, there are existing open source brokers you can deploy yourself in a VM in the Cloud, but you might be surprised how much more you can get by opting for an MQTT Broker as a service such as the one the Event Grid team offers.
How about opting for a cellular Network-as-a-Service solution instead of private 5G?

How about opting for a cellular Network-as-a-Service solution instead of private 5G?

Cellular connectivity is really practical for connecting your IoT devices, especially when you're out in the wild, away from other connectivity coverage, or roaming around, right? But it's never really easy to configure it exactly the way you want and need, unless you deploy your own private cellular infrastructure. Here comes a Network-as-a-Service solution called Stacuity. Mike is here on the IoT Show to tell us everything about it and how you, IoT developers, can make the most of cellular connectivity for your IoT devices.

The Mobility Independence Foundation

Did you know that a motorized medical wheelchair costs $20K and up, and that maintaining it is not just expensive, but a real challenge? The Mobility Independence Foundation (https://www.themif.org) seeks to create open source hardware and software designs to address the many problems that Durable Medical Equipment users are facing. This kind of equipment, such as wheelchairs are not that durable, and users who are dependent on them have to deal with expensive, complex and long repairs, inexistant or hard to get replacement parts and inability to fix the equipment themselves not to void warrantees and loose insurance funding. Thomas and Jeff are active members of the MIF and are fostering a vibrant community you might be able to contribute to. What are the features IoT makers and tinkerers can come up with that’d be useful for motorized wheelchair users and that they could easily implement on their own or at an low cost thanks to open source? Let’s discuss this with Thomas and Jeff on the IoT Show

Tinkering with ESP32 and Arduino IDE to learn IoT

I'm often asked how to get started with IoT, and my answer usually is "it depends", but at the end of the day, it's always about getting your hands dirty and start tinkering with hardware and dev tools. Asim Zulfiqar is an electronics Engineer by trade and a curious mind by nature. He started his journey in IoT tinkering with embedded software and rapidly ramped up thanks to hardware like the ESP32 and dev tools like the Arduino IDE. Asim being a tech blogger and vlogger, he had to share his experience and ended up authoring a book about his learning experience.
