Mikael Falkvidd IoT - Stena AB Faster Forward

Editor's Notes

1. Enheter att ta med: finska tempsensorn, lilla vita, ett modem, oyster, enless
2. Worked at Accenture, where I learned to find the value and present the value in a good way. Worked as Development Team Lead at OP5, a software company for collecting data MySensors is an open source project helping people create their own cheap wireless IoT devices. Freelance writer for Swedish computer magazine Datormagazin where I get paid to try and learn about the latest and most exciting things. I've written 80+ articles in Datormagazin, most recently about an IoT conference I Amsterdam. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide not-for-profit charitable organization focused on improving the security of software.
3. I’ll cover connectivity options and cost I’ll show you some devices that can be bought off the shelf Example business case from one of my recent projects
4. Physical devices (thermometers, door sensors, motion detectors, GPS, …) Connected: Information can be made available from anywhere – no need to be in the same physical place So we need connectivity and we need devices. I’ll cover both of these. Let’s start with connectivity, but first…
5. Preventive maintenance Automated decisions – order new chemicals when tank is getting low Connecting cars enabled Sunfleet so sell rent by the hour and distance – automated
6. Launched during mobile workd congress just a few weeks ago
7. Uses same idea as early communication with submarines. Long battery life means less maintenance – if you have 100 devices that need battery replacement every 6 months you’ll need to change batteries in one unit per day on average. Commerical networks exist. Sigfox largest provider.
8. Roaming is included
9. Red means good coverage (Sigfox is a French company) This is official coverage. Over water, range is usually better than what the official coverage shows. With Sigfox, 90-100km range is routinely observed in the English Channel and the Mediterranean.
10. More than 1,000 different Sigfox devices exist already. I’ll show you some examples.
11. Temp and air humidity Easy installation ~100EUR (1 000 SEK) in small volumes. Connectivity 5 years included. Online dashboard included. CO2 version also exists. Measure air in conference rooms so people can stay productive and not make bad decisions
12. Made by a Czech company Simple as Czech beer. Cheap as Czech beer. 15 EUR. 50,000 items ready for delivery. Waterproof Battery life :3,600 messages Alert when moved (door, drawer, bike, car, house) Tracking (luggage, asset, pallet) Tracing (real time journey tracing of a package and any impact) Fall with G-force recording Vibration while engine runs Door banging Truck running Crane arm moving Traffic signage displacement
13. Manufacturing cost: 0.3EUR Christophe Fourtet, co-founder Sigfox Many other use cases. Detect when emergency exits are opened, life saving equipment is removed, …
14. Airbus uses IoT to track spare parts
15. Build the transporter to spec, send it to the customer. 25 employees A few years later the customer calls ”Torsås, we have a problem”. Bad start, slow feedback. Preventive maintenance – offer the customer the right service at the right price An ”excuse” to call the customer. ”Your transporter has just passed 1000h running time and I’d like to check in and make sure everything is alright. Do you need anything else?” Sell the data back to the customer Business model transformation – sell ”cubic meters of transported stuff” instead of selling machines. Time from initial meeting to first live installation: 6 business weeks Battery life: 5-10 years Phase 2 includes collecting ideas from employees and customers. When they se what we’ve done so far, they start bubbling with ideas. Get the snowball rolling.
16. Don’t let lack of budget stop you – start simple. Humans make mistakes. Computers do what we tell them, but they are consistent. Chalmers thesis worker: pH levels in Swedish lakes. Manually once per month, or automatially every hour? Predictive maintenance. Better comfort and lower cost for indoor climate. Track deliveries from vendors or to customers. What is frustrating, takes too much time or costs too much money today? What data could help us better serve our customers. How can we offer the customer what they need before they know they need it? Paper towels in public restrooms.
