Getting Insight from Anything: using IoT to make decisions

Organised by IoT North

IoT North Community meetup are proud to present Andrew Blance speaking on Getting Insight from Anything: using IoT to make decisions

The drive to make data-driven decisions shapes the strategy of many companies. However, this dream has a problem: just because you need to make a decision does not mean you have the data to make it! Often these decisions require data from sources typically unconnected to the internet. This could be an architect determined to understand how the construction of her building is progressing, or a manufacturer wanting to live their best Industry 4.0 life. It’s not uncommon for companies to find this journey to become “smart” is a long one – with difficult ethical ground to cover, or prohibitive costs associated with procuring the necessary equipment. However, the development of cheap and accessible IoT devices allows for the gathering of data from anything to be more within reach than ever.

This talk will look at our efforts to build proof-of-concept IoT pipelines, and a project to develop a method to prevent mould in social housing. We will discuss how to get innovative projects off-the-ground, how to develop partnerships to enable you to do work you typically would not, and our (continuing) journey of using and managing hardware and the problems we faced along the way. The main focus however will be the software stack: Azure IoT Hub, and the potential Azure ML offerings that can be used to gain valuable insight from this data.
