Talk 1: Current state of Industrial IoT and Industry 4+
Peter Brdar - Senior Consulting Manager, Cognizant

Manufacturings, worldwide are adopting Industry 4 practices, where data is an asset that can be leveraged to help produce goods faster and at higher quality.

However there are many limitations that manufacturers have to butt up against:
1. Vendor lock in,
2. difficulting getting access to the data in the first place,
3. scale and complexity of integration,
4. verbose complex data exchange, and
5. the divide between OT & IT.

The presentation will cover Edge Compute, Purdue Model, MQTT protocol, Cloud, and much more.

Talk 2: Detecting falls in Aged Care - An MLP Story
Matthew Gillard - Principal, V2 AI

Defining a Minimum Lovable Product is challenging, especially when priorities are constantly being shifted during the product-market fit stage of a startup. Understanding end-user personas is critical to this process.

This session explores the key decisions made while building an early-stage startup that provides fall detection and notification for people primarily in the aged care sector. We'll cover the solution architecture, real-time alerting challenges, data partitioning approaches, and other tradeoffs involved in capturing and analyzing data from sensors installed in the home or aged care facility.

Attendees will gain practical advice and actionable tips for building their own data solutions on AWS.
