Abstract

Recommend!

Dirk Didascalou (VP, IoT, AWS) used “If you knew the state of every thing and could reason on top of that data…” “What problems would you solve?” to break the session and bring out the two major uses of IoT: Operational efficiency and Revenue growth, and three iterative cycles Edge and devices, Connectivity and control, Analytics and ML/AI, and use this framework to introduce the current status of the global use of AWS IoT (tens of thousands of customers , 90% Fortune 100, 0.5B+ Active endpoints per month, 0.5T+ Payload messages per month), and industry and academia case introductions such as 1NCE, Lenovo, Carrier, HITACHI Lumada, Univ of MELBOURNE.

When introducing the transformation of tomorrow, he started by saying that AWS develops new features with customers, and uses colors to bring out the four process changes. After the infrastructure is set, it will move towards analysis and industry. Followed five questions to introduce the corresponding major feature releases this year. Finally, introduce the Vector energy company of New Zealand and Australia to conclude. The introduction of energy applications with the concept of app store is also a good way to understand.
