Embedded development is complex by nature and the growing demand for AI to be deployed to the edge is not simplifying things. Avnet presents itself as a partner helping makers and manufacturers not only providing electronics, sensors and other hardware but also in their design from inception to production. I visited the Avnet booth at Embedded World North America and got the change to discuss with Jennifer and Michael how AI is impacting embedded developers and they showed me and explained how they are helping embedded developers with development kits, design guides and more.

The IoT Show is going live (assuming no tech glitch :-)). I will be the podcaster in residence at the #IoTStars networking event during the Embedded World NA in Anaheim, CA and have the chance to interview IoT champs and thought leaders.

If you think IoT Platforms are no longer a thing, you can think again! IoT Platforms not only are alive and kicking, but they are simplifying the most complex aspects of IoT and addressing actual customer's needs, allowing them to focus on their core business and value add. Jonas Schmid from Akenza and Fabio Rosa from Tago both have over a decade of experience in building and delivering IoT platforms to various customers who see real value in not having to reinvent the wheel. 📚 Chapters 00:00 IoT Platforms 02:26 Tago Platform ️ 04:39 LPWAN Sector 12:56 Customization Need 15:12 Lacking Skills? 17:24 Low Code Features ‍ 19:50 Platform Control 21:56 IoT Platforms ️ 24:51 Data Control Plan ️ 27:38 Ecosystem Matter 30:00 Customer Design ‍ 34:20 Edge AI for Privacy 37:27 Akenza & Tago Powered by https://timeskip.io/?ref=olivier

... that's how the joke started when Chris Carter and I discussed how IoT and SAP get along and complement each other. Chris is a real SAP guru and with him we look into how one of the most used Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools out there (SAP) can benefit from ingesting IoT data.

Ever heard the saying, "It takes a village"? Well, that couldn't be more true for building IoT solutions today! 📺 In this episode of the IoT Show, we chat with Brandon Satrom from Blues about how the IoT industry has totally transformed. We’ve gone from a world where you had to DIY every single thing, to a place with a plethora of platforms all trying to be the one-stop shop. Now, we're in a much smarter phase—picking the best parts from different companies to build something amazing. Brandon shares the scoop from Blues' perspective, a company that makes awesome hardware modules to give your devices seamless connectivity. ⚠️ TEASER ALERT: we learn where Blues 🎶 got its name from We also touch on The Things Conference, which is proof that the "it takes a village" idea is catching on. They’re expanding beyond just LoRaWAN to include all sorts of IoT tech. It's all about the ecosystem, and working together to make IoT work for everyone.

Are the digital and physical worlds able to sense and interact with each other? What does it take to make this a reality? Short answer: Digital twins! Who better than Bert Van Hoof, CEO at Willow, to attest to the importance of Digital Twins to make sense of the huge amount of heterogeneous data that smart buildings generate. If you have never heard about Willow, that's because their technology is hidden and as I like to say: the best tech is the one you don't see 😉 Learn more at https://willowinc.com/ 📚 Chapters 00:00 Digital Twins: Common Element in Airports, Retail Stores, and University Campuses 02:22 Physical AI: Jensen's Perspective on AI and Physical World Connection 05:11 Airport Environments: Transportation Hubs and Functional Areas ️ 07:10 IoT: Monitoring, Alerting, and Modeling Physical Assets with Sensors 09:32 Digital Twin Sophistication: Command, Control, and Real-Time Sensing ️ 11:31 Digital Twins: Interoperability and Data Standardization Challenges 14:11 Gardner Hype Cycle: Digital Twins, AI, and Innovation Triggers in Knowledge Graphs 17:58 AI-Ready Data: Knowledge Graphs and Twins for Richness in Rise of Diagrams and Single Line Diagrams 20:23 Independent Data Layer: Building Management Systems, Backnet Protocols, and Machine Learning Applications ️ 22:24 Activate Packs: Thematic Value Bundles with Data Connectors, Skills, Insights, and Impact Scores 27:02 Addressing Security and Compliance Concerns Digital Twin Solutions 29:48 Human-in-the-Loop Approach Active Control and Command ‍ 33:11 Democratizing Digital Twins Complexity and Scalability 35:30 Frontier Models Microsoft Partnership and Vision AI 37:40 Final Thoughts Digital Twins and Smart Buildings Powered by https://timeskip.io/?ref=olivier

The Things Conference is becoming the must-attend IoT event of the year. Traditionally, this event was the hub for anything LoRaWAN, but as we all know, IoT is about more than just LPWAN technologies, it's actually more than just about connectivity. And The Things Industries team understand this better than anyone else. So they decided to extend the scope of this year's edition of the Conference.

There is a mismatch between IT and OT that sometimes ends in a real Clash of the Clans. Have you noticed that OT people consider IoT to be an IT thing, while IT people consider IoT to be from OT land? Could IoT be the missing link that will reunite the clans?
