EVENT OVERVIEW

“IoT in the Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) markets continues to grow steadily across multiple industries including transportation, retail, manufacturing, resources, and utilities driven by the increased capacity and reliability of fibre and cellular network infrastructure,” says Bill Rojas, Adjunct Research Director at IDC Asia/Pacific.

“Enterprises no longer think IoT value is only limited to achieve operational efficacy and improved productivity. They see IoT as an enabler in the evolution of enterprises’ requirements and challenges in an ever-changing business environment. Many organizations are willing to invest in digital technologies such as IoT, AI to fully leverage the new expansive role of data in emerging digital business models,” adds Sharad Kotagi, Market Analyst at IDC Asia/Pacific.

Faced with the uncertainty that is the pandemic, can we use IoT to drive digital transformations to the next level of business competitiveness and innovation?

For decades we have seen IoT make incremental contributions to how we do business. It is time for IoT to redefine the future of business through a seamless integration of IoT and digital twins to improve situational awareness and make better business decisions.

It is time to not be defined by the limitations imposed on us by conditions we cannot control, but rather use advances in technology and process innovation to lead us forward, be more resilient and adaptive to the changes around us.

KEYNOTE II: Making Your IoT Deployments Event-Driven

To unlock the value of data, enterprises need to set their data in motion. Data in motion or event streams enable real time applications, microservices, and serverless innovations. Moreover, data and event streams need to flow from on-prem to multiple clouds and back and also to edge of locations for IoT use cases.

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is gaining popularity in IoT deployments. EDA enhances agility and resilience in IoT devices. On top of this, as the demand for faster development cycles increases, it is important to ensure the scalability of IoT applications as well.

  • Adopting EDA for IoT projects
  • Hybrid cloud as the future of EDA
  • EDA feasibility with thousands (or even millions) of endpoints across locations
  • Platforms to integrate IoT
  • Enabling EDA for real-time use cases

Gartner predicts that digital twins are slowly entering mainstream use. By 2022, over two-thirds of companies that have implemented IoT will have deployed at least one digital twin in production. This session will showcase a couple of examples of how we can leverage IoT and digital twin and how the same concepts can be applied to other industries like Construction, Aviation and Maritime sectors.

  • Types of digital twins
  • The future of IoT and digital twin for better situation ground awareness and as the driver of smarter decision augmentation
