Intrapreneur. balanced diet of IoT & predictive analytics

๏  IIoT for asset management. Key contributions to Zigbee!

๏  Shazam for IoT - IoT accessory Home/Auto!

๏  Iridium predictive fault management!

๏  Predictive video analytics (acquired by WatchWith)!

Agenda: Predictive & IIoT

•  Why in the limelight?!

•  Now. is it new-and-unique or sum-of-parts!

•  Next. will it be new-and-unique or sum-of-parts!

IIoT Market Potential

$150B addressable market!by 2020!

Low(er) business friction!- IIoT Technology creators !

are also customers!

Predictive ability : Mandatory, not optional

over-doing!processes!expensive!

under-doing!processes!

catastrophic!

rightsizing a!dynamic, predictive process!

(time | business context)!

e.g. too much ‘routine’ !maintenance. lightly used !

equipment!

e.g. not enough!maintenance. !

high risk equipment!

Business Focus : from reliability to optimization

Challenge : Data-Insight Gap

•  There is no ‘free lunch’ : better predictions need more data!

•  Ways to narrow the gap!

•  (Volume, Velocity) faster, fatter path from data to decisioning!

•  (Variability) clever ways to clean data at scale!

•  Match best algorithm for the data at hand!

The ‘gap’ is not unique to IIoT. The reasons for it are ..!

IIoT vs Consumer Web : Same gap, different reasons

Consumer IIoT

Capture Hard!(consumers don’t cooperate)!

Easy!(‘things’ always

cooperate - for a price)!

Sanitization Medium!(simpler data types)!

Hard!(gnarlier data types)!

Modeling & Integration

Easy!(e.g. eyeballs, dwell time)!

Hard!(complex data models)!

IIoT+Predictive:more than sum of parts?

What architectural changes would close the gap?!

Sensing Data Challenge

Option1. data goes to decisioning !Fatter, faster pipes!

Continuous flow!

Option 2. decisioning goes to data !Intelligent Edge !Periodic updates!

Edges make IIoT Faster

GE Blog - Edge: A Door to the Data Kingdom!

➡  Edges distribute predictive services (cloud vs edge)!➡  policy vs behavior !➡  long-term vs real-time !

➡  architectures for flexible (re)distribution of predictive decision logic?!

Edges make IIoT Faster and Cheaper

➡  Edges distribute predictive services (cloud vs edge)!➡  policy vs behavior !➡  long-term vs real-time!

➡  how will predictive decision logic move to where the data is?!

Slow lakes to fast streams

•  Now. Transition from data lakes to data streams!

‣  30-100x speed up : streams over lakes!

‣  needed to deal with real-time IIoT traffic!

‣  lambda architectures balance prediction speed and accuracy!

Challenge : Clean Data

•  State-of-the-art ML — promises dramatic improvement. But ‘clean data’ hungry!

•  Deep Learning 3x better than Regression for electricity demand forecasting!

•  needs 1.5 million data points for training (over 4.5 years)!

•  Limiting factor is the data quality !

2-Tiered Machine Learning for IIoT

•  Intelligent IoT data cleansing layer (e.g. Bitstew) - Machine Learning turns dirty data into clean data!

•  low-level data cleaning pushed to the edge!

•  semantic integration between data sources in the cloud!

•  Predictive Layer - Machine Learning turns clean data into clean insights!

interfaces between cleansing & prediction? !

Conclusion

Present : Cloudy

•  embrace. leverage cutting edge cloud and ML services!

•  extend. adapt to IIoT business processes!

Future : Edgy

•  hyper decentralized intelligence and data!

•  systems that understand ‘normal’ and ‘deviation’!

•  predictive systems that have both response velocity and depth of insight!
