ALT Kelly Ireland founded CBT in 2001 as a value-added reseller (VAR) focused on unparalleled client service. However, having a keen eye for technology trends and always taking the time and opportunity to listen to industry experts, she assessed the impending changes in the industry early on. She built up CBT’s engineering expertise, data science practice and partnerships to revolutionize the company’s offerings and make the difficult transition from VAR to Domain Expert Integrator. Since that time, the Company has flourished. CBT is now in rarefied air, bridging the gap between operational technologies (OT) and information technologies (IT) with groundbreaking projects like the Refinery of the Future (RotF) at Texmark Chemicals. Successful initiatives like RotF in Industrial IoT and High Performance Computing have positioned CBT as a key partner to industry-leading companies such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, RealWear, PTC, Intel, ABB, Rockwell Automation, GuardHat, Relimetrics and more.

ALT Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) allows the user to see both virtual and physical reality simultaneously. Using a wearable, a worker can access data, dashboards, maintenance histories, and 3-D schemas while in a factory setting, creating a digital overlay. AR is part of the movement toward Industry 4.0, in which smart technology enhances and automates traditional processes. But with all the wearables and software available on the market, how do you ensure successful implementation and user adoption? Join me, Lonnie Ludwig, VP of Solution Development, as I take you through the AR journey and how to deliver near real-time ROI and prove business value.

ALT SPTIoTCoE Panel - Human-friendly strategies for IoT Security, Privacy, and Trust Security, Privacy and Trust for the IoT is much more challenging and consequential than Internet security in general. This is due to IoT hyperconnectivity, scale, variations in device interactions, and potential vulnerability of the cyber-physical systems associated with an IoT deployment. In addition, the valuable data collected and distributed in an IoT system have a number of new vulnerabilities. The Internet security and trust management technologies we've used over the past years are not up to the task. But, there are a number of powerful new strategies and technologies for SPT for the IOT. These include: Zero trust approaches and explicit private networks Edge computing capabilities (Secure Access Service Edge or SASE) Secure data management platforms AI for anomaly detection, prediction, and risk management Digital twins Scalable approaches for identity and cryptographic key management

ALT Abstract: Management of industrial assets is an ever-evolving discipline, where it is essential to meet the requirements of the fast-changing industries and markets. How can we find the optimal balance between maximizing production value, ensuring safety and compliance, and minimizing maintenance costs? What solutions and analytical tools are available? How can we perform simulations leveraging IT-OT integration? Among a plethora of options and infinite combinations, the role of a Systems Integrator is key to putting it all together and building a platform that supports an Enterprise to take critical decisions. Presenter Bio: Ludovico Tosoratti is a Senior Mechanical Engineer for CBT as an expert in Asset Integrity Management. He has a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering granted by the University of Udine (Italy). Ludo bring 20 years of experience in many different roles and organizations.

ALT #IoT Day Slam 2022 #WIoTCoE panel - The New Financial Realities Facing IoT.

ALT This report aims to explore the innovation ecosystem in the area of Industrial IoT by mapping trends, business models, and technologies. To get familiar with both the “big picture” and specific solutions, the publication includes data analysis of clusters of companies that develop similar technologies, as well as five case studies of companies. The magazine takes an in-depth look at five areas of innovation relevant to Industrial IoT: Connected Operations, Industrial IoT Security, Predictive Maintenance, Remote Quality Monitoring, and Workplace Safety. To identify the companies most suitable for inspiration or potential collaboration with the IoT Community, the selection favored those with already-existent practical solutions and proof of concept.

ALT Whether you’re in the financial industry or not, IoT professionals are currently faced with unprecedented hurdles as well as new opportunities. Learn how IoT companies can turn challenges into opportunities from Link Labs’ CFO, Jennifer Halstead. The Women in IoT Center for Excellence is hosting an interactive panel with practical solutions for the IoT professional to address supply chain visibility, labor shortages, tightening capital markets, inflation, stimulus funding, tax credits, digital transformation, and risk management. Attendees will come away from this session with: New ideas to turn financial challenges into opportunities Practical solutions for supply chain visibility and management How to manage inflation, higher costs, and labor shortages Tax credits and stimulus funding still available to US IoT companies Ways to finance IoT companies, even amid tightening capital markets
