The document outlines strategies for creating and sustaining an IoT practice. It recommends forming a core team including a practice lead, innovation architect, market analyst, and solution architect. The team should focus on key areas like devices, back-end services, and end-to-end solutions. To sustain the practice, the document suggests developing product services, conducting market research, facilitating innovation through collaboration, creating intellectual property, and engaging with standards organizations. The overall aim is to capitalize on the convergence of technologies and establish an IoT competency.
IoT Practice {IN} Action
- 1. IoT Practice {In} Action By Shine Xavier (A Thing) MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 May 28, 2016
- 2. Objective Why do we need an IoT Practice? Drivers How do we create an IoT Practice? Strategies & Thoughts How do we sustain an IoT Practice? Strategies & Thoughts :: Based on my experience :: What I have seen What I have heard What I have done What I felt it is May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 2
- 3. Target Audience Anyone who is still trying to figure out what IoT means to them and others. Anyone who is still trying to see how they can benefit from IoT with maximum ROI and minimal CAPEX. Anyone who is still wanting to take the plunge and yet overwhelmed by the IoT landscape. Anyone who tried to participate and gave up easily thinking there isnt anything special here. Anyone who tried to set up a competency group or practice and yet struggling to generate business and visibility in the organization. Anyone who doesnt want to miss the greatest revolutions of our times Digital! May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 3

- 6. Connect the Dots (Human Intelligence Evolution) Human Intelligence vs Technology A Transhumanism Analogy (LUCY - 2014 Movie) See Everything Feel Everything Human Intelligence Technology May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 6
- 7. Connect the Dots (Industrial Revolution) May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 7
- 8. Connect the Dots (Convergence) IoE Engineering Physical Sciences Life Sciences :: Now Picture These Scenarios :: Drunken Driver Smart Detection Smart Notifications (Accidents, Blocks etc.) Connected Vehicles (M2M) Message Verification (Blockchain) Deforestation & Hunting Trees/Animals calling 911 Natural Computing Decoding the River Of Life Mining blood for everything that the can indicate health attributes May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 8

- 11. Lets Break It Down IoT Ecosystem IoT as a Graph Edges correspond to connectivity Long-Haul Communication Wi-Fi, Cellular, BLE, Zigbee, Z-Wave, 6LowPAN, Thread, NFC, Sigfox, Neul, LoRaWAN, CAN, RS-232, Ethernet, TCP/IP, MQTT, 6LowPan etc. Short-Haul Communication OBD II, MDB etc. Vertices correspond to devices connected to things Sensors, Controllers, Gateways, Cloud, Smart Devices, Actuators etc. Device Management Provisioning, Remote Monitoring, Diagnostics, Firmware Update Supported by Protocols like Very Simple Control Protocol (VSCP) May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 11
- 12. Lets Break It Down Wheres your competency? Things Making your things smarter & pluggable Consumer goods/product manufacturers Devices (Tier1 & Tier2) Last Mile Sensors, Controllers, Gateways, Actuators etc. Embedded development Back-End (Tier3) Cloud, Mobility, Analytics , Provisioning & Reporting End-To-End Service Device Provisioning, Remote Monitoring, Diagnostics, Firmware Update Systems Integrator Create IoT Solution with Integration Platforms like ThingWorx, IBM BlueMix etc. May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 12
- 13. Lets Break It Down Solution Coverage (Domains) Semiconductor Devices (Sensors, Agents & Controllers) including IT Intelligent BOTS, Intelligent & Proactive SOC/NOC that provides value for Customer Services (Machine Learning, Cognitive Computing, Reporting, Self-Healing, DevOps, A/B Testing, RPA etc.) Manufacturing & Engineering Home Automation, Smart Meters, Smart Factories (Instrumentation, Feedback Loops, Actuators etc.) Healthcare Telemedicine, Bedside Monitoring, Remote Patient Monitoring, Intelligent/Proactive Diagnostics, Wellness BFSI Behavioral Insurance, Smart trade and contracts (with Bit Coins, Block chains, Machine Learning etc.) Retail Last Mile Delivery still an unsolved problem Shipping & Logistics Tracking Perishable Goods Automobile Connected Cars, Intelligent IVI systems Aviation Baggage Tracking Agriculture Hydroponics, Illegal Logging Security Computer Vision, Video Analytics etc. May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 13
- 14. Core Activities Where do you focus? You know your basket by now Have a stock of what you have and what you dont. Let's go shopping Innovation aggregation, Partnerships etc. Hackathons (Open Ideas, Crowdsourcing etc.) Low Hanging Fruits Look for value added services for your existing customers Scan the markets constantly for innovations that you could apply above Individual players don't have the big picture. They too are desperately looking for markets. H/W Manufacturers (Devices, Controllers, Gateways, Smart Devices, Actuators) Service Creation Its an art to create and sell (Case Study: Selling Information vs Equipment in Smart Metering) Follow the pioneers (as in any utilitarian domain e.g. Mobile & Telecommunication providers) You seldom listen to your customers (too focused on the wrong basket mostly H/W) Solution Dreaming of endless possibilities Design Loosely coupled & Plugin Architecture (Anything can change Protocols, Devices etc.) Adherence to open standards May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 14
- 15. The Core Team Practice Lead Chief IoT Strategist Decides the right basket for investment Innovation Architect Creates the ecosystem for Innovation and devises realization roadmap for PLs vision Market Analyst Does the needed Market Research Solution Architect Creates Blueprint of Solution along with other Practice Architects in Services team Integrator Manages the implementation along with SMEs and the allocated project teams Practice Lead Market Analyst Integrator Solutions Architect Innovation Architect :: Dont look outside :: Leverage SMEs across practices including Mobility, Cloud, Embedded, Analytics, SOA etc. May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 15
- 16. How do we sustain the Practice? Drivers 16
- 17. Long Haul (Now that you have a team) Create product services Solely or Jointly (Mix n Match) Market Research Apple way Facilitate Innovation & Research through collaboration Any Non-Trivial Human Endeavour Warrants Collaboration Praseed Pai Work with Universities/Colleges Individual Innovators/Contributors/Researchers Support Startup Ecosystems Drive Industry Growth by joining hands with Hardware manufacturers Publish Open Ideas constantly (Trivial or Complex) White Papers, Forums etc. May 28, 2016MOBConf : IOT Conference 2016 17
- 18. Long Haul (Now that you have a team) Create IPs Exclusive & Joint IPs Join, Co-Create & Drive Standards The Industrial Internet Consortium - IIC (Intel + IBM + Cisco + AT&T + Microsoft) would establish use cases and standards requirements for IoT implementations in business and government. The Open Internet Consortium - OIC (Intel + Atmel + Samsung + Broadcom) is to define IoT interoperability specifications, and enable branded implementations of them. AllSeen (Qualcomm + Cisco + Microsoft) is actively producing an open source framework for enabling communications between devices in ad hoc networks-a system for discovering what's out there, and making use of it. Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) will help ensure secure interoperability for consumers, business, and industry. The OpenFog Consortium, was formed to define and promote fog computing. The consortium, founded by ARM, Cisco, Dell, Intel, Microsoft and Princeton University in November 2015, seeks to create an architecture and approach to fog, edge, and distributed computing.
