CONNECTING INDUSTRY AND MANUFACTURING

Manufacturing leads all other Industrial IoT segments in IoT adoption and that is continuing to grow. But the need to connect devices was actually spearheaded by energy segment decades ago. An analysis of how manufacturing came through various phases of reactive modes and is moving into Industry 4.0, today’s globally-connected, demand-driven, predictive machine.
IoT: FROM COMPLEXITY TO SYMMETRY

The complexities of building a scalable, maintainable, and cost effective IoT solution can become more complex than cloud e-Commerce sites, autonomous vehicles, and even the most advanced machine learning algorithms running on state-of-the-art GPUs. The fact is the IoT world is a superset of all those examples. An IoT adopter must understand where to assign professional services versus an in-house build.
DEATH BY DATA
Don Sharp
CEO, Coolfire Solutions
Innovation is no easy task, yet we all know that companies must evolve to stay ahead of the competition. Seeking to transform customer experience, improve operational efficiency, create a new service offering and ultimately improve revenues, business leaders are turning to data to unlock the doors to growth. Just don’t mistake access to information for innovation. The Internet of Things (IoT) can doom your business if your information is not “actionable.”
CONNECTING THE DOTS
John Dames
Chief Technology Officer, Coolfire Solutions
There’s a concept in the military called situational awareness: recognizing the critical information in your surroundings – team, terrain, assets, opportunities and threats – in order to take decisive, informed action in potentially volatile conditions. It seems like a simple concept, but this ability to act requires more than just training. Athletes have highly attuned situational awareness, too. In team sports, you have to understand where everyone is around you. Can the same concept bring transformation to the business world?
