Industrial automation using SCADA precedes modern IoT. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is also a foundation for Industry 4.0. Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum has penned a book/report on The Fourth Industrial Revolution. WEF has also opened a centre for Fourth Industrial Revolution network in partnership with NITI Aayog in India. McKinsey has been periodically doing survey for many years and paint a picture of opportunities and challenges in their 2018 survey.

At IIoT Summit, we will have a comprehensive bouquet of use cases from end users, Operational technology players, Start-ups and global engineering services providers. The use cases will cover the problem, solutions & technology options, and metrics (range of costs, efforts and RoI). This business dive into IIoT will help the participants get a broader appreciation of past achievements, current happenings and present a peek into the future opportunities as well.

At IoTDay, we covered sub GHZ LoRa in depth. Continuing the focus, in the technology section at IIoT Summit we will cover the emerging “standard” for (electric) utility Wi Sun Alliance, Bluetooth mesh from the new features covering more range and more throughput from BlueTooth 5. We will also explore proprietary sub GHz protocols that are in use in India today. There would be a panel discussion on the cellular 3GPP approaches covering 4G, NB-IoT and parts of 5G that may be available – such as femto cells to help dense sensor deployments and offload data from the licensed spectrum and enterprise VPN services allowing lower latency M2M sim services. NB-IoT base stations may be deployable based on demand as telecom operators will explain. Masterclasses : You can look to a masterclass on eSIM using an MVNO type offering. The TRAI approved m2m SIM can select one out of the 4 most powerful operators configured in your plan and connect. From a business perspective, there would also be a masterclass on Strategies to sell IIoT to large enterprises. We will cover several other hot-button topics and an update on Project Usiru. We have limited capacity! BOOK NOW to enjoy a day of learning, sharing and networking.

Round table : Emerging Cellular IoT Networks

IoT applications are rapidly maturing while networking technologies and manufacturers of "things" have caused an explosion in the number of connected devices. There are published reports which estimate that the number of connected things will reach 50 billion in the near future. The Industrial IoT Summit would discuss on a wide area and efficient connectivity to the Internet of Things(IoT), a key factor in such an explosion, through the usage of LTE - LTE MTC (Machine Type Communication), LTE M2M or just LTE-M. The 3GPP made significant efforts to standardize and convert LTE into an IoT capable technology. Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a new cellular technology introduced in 3GPP Release 13 for providing wide-area coverage for the Internet of Things (IoT). We discuss how the new technology addresses key IoT requirements such as deployment flexibility, low device complexity, long battery lifetime, support of a massive number of devices in a cell, and significant coverage extension beyond existing cellular technologies.

Private IoT Networks

The concept of private networks is not new, but with the recent confluence of new spectrum sharing innovations and the genesis of “Industry 4.0” — the digital transformation of industrial processes and the fourth industrial revolution — the potential for private IoT networks is substantial. The unique concept of private IoT networks is that they empower enterprise customers to run their own local network with dedicated equipment and settings.
