Virtual IoT and
Edge Days 2022

When we say "digital transformation," we are actually trying to say "software-driven innovation." Not all software is the same, however. Proprietary software is built behind closed doors to fulfill the requirements of a few lucky customers. On the other hand, open-source software is built in the open to address the requirements of all its stakeholders. Given this, which approach do you think will lead to successful digital transformation projects?

This presentation will explain how open source is integral to digital transformation by exploring how it is leveraged in industrial automation and the automotive industry. You will also discover how an open-source approach is relevant to horizontal use cases, such as artificial intelligence and event stream processing. You will also explore specific business models focused on open source technologies and learn about leading open source ecosystems related to IoT and Edge Computing.

In this session, Gabriele Montanari from Eurotech will present an overview of the current challenges of edge computing security and describe how the company addresses them in the open-source and commercial worlds.

Locally or globally networked industrial automation applications can be functionally assigned to the Internet of Things (IoT). On the one hand, they are now also exposed to the same risks of possible cyberattacks as millions of other IoT applications. On the other hand, with regard to the cyber security protection of such applications, they can also refer to standards and norms such as ETSI EN 303 645, NITSIR 8259, and IEC 62443.

In the past, many IoT devices were provided with universal usernames and passwords (such as "admin,"admin") by the manufacturers to make initial commissioning easier. The lecture provides some standard-compliant examples with safe but still user-friendly methods that should be used instead. One of them is based on QR codes and a special out-of-band channel technique. One other uses FIDO2 compatible hardware tokens.

Adopting different specifications, APIs, technologies and approaches to cope with the ever-growing complexity and fragmentation of the continuously evolving edge landscape and use cases is an epic journey from "can't" to "can" that Eclipse Kanto's team started over 20 years ago. Eclipse Kanto encompasses all the lessons we learned and expertise we gained along the way of continuously ensuring uniform, flexible, and lightweight edge solutions that bring AIoT to life - from dealing with power line protocols like X10 back in the days to enabling AI at the edge today. In this talk we will dig into the technical background and reasoning behind why and how Eclipse Kanto can be the key enabler for a fast and easy AIoT solution journey - from edge 0 to cloud X. We will do a live Eclipse Kanto onboarding demo and start exploring the edge together as no one can do it alone!

The mining sector is one of unique sectors where applications of iot and edge computing infrastructure is widely needed. In this session, I am going to discuss newly adopted practices in this sector including, but not limited to, edge computing, data analytics, big data applications, Azure cloud services, for enterprise solutions, and more.

Come find out what's new in the recent major ioFog 3.0 release. Developers will learn how edge resources and the new application deployment templating language enables a new class of AI applications to be orchestrated, operated and scaled at the edge. ioFog is making AI at the edge possible for all cloud developers, not just those with TensorFlow model building expertise. We will show you how to solve problems of processing large volumes of data such as video in real-time. Get complex AI applications running at the edge in 30 minutes or less (or your pizza is free).
