Track: Edge Computing

Join our discussion with leading providers of technology and solutions for transportation and logistics customers. The panelists will discuss solutions that are being delivered today that improve the operational efficiency in shipping and the movement of goods, services, and passengers. Topics will include communications, micromobility, and how technology advancement can improve the customer experience as well as reduce our carbon footprint.

With climate changes, grass is becoming a rare resource for farmers, even more in summer to feed their herds. In order to avoid importing a lot of hay from abroad, by trucks, increasing our carbon footprint at high cost, transhumance is the best solution. But young farmers are reluctant to move to mountains due to lack of telecom services & the increasing attacks from Bears & wolves. The new developped satellite connected collars are helping the shepherds to locate their herds & anticipate predators attacks, even remotely & help them to locate the best pastures using Satellite radar images.

Historically, extensive shrimp farms in Ecuador, sustainable, are in remote places where there is no electricity or telecommunications. Digitizing and transforming this business goes very complex. Thanks to Nokia and Pescanova has been carried out the first project worldwide to build a private 5G network in an open space, remote, to cover employees and all existing IoT and Bug Data solutions. The challenge has been enormous, as we have had to provide private coverage in areas where there has never been a mobile network and employees could not connect to the Internet with their cell phones.

In order to meet the sustainable target and handle the global energy crisis, our customer has been struggling in optimisation of power generation and energy consumption & storage in a vessel by utilising different digital solutions from different vendors for their Engines, Propulsions systems, vessel automation systems, Voyage systems, etc. Wärtsila utilize Edge computing and Machine Learning technology to provide an integrated system to break the silos in individual equipment optimisation, reaching the real time vessel level energy optimisation.

This session will explore LPWAN technology, why is it needed, and what use cases this technology opens door to. What benefit does LPWAN technology offer for PET trackers? How does MSD’s pet tracker provide services that go beyond location tracking, and what is the business outcome?

Uptime for customers' vehicles is critical. To optimize this, Volvo needs to use real-time and high frequency data on board. Instead of processing all logged data off-board, a dynamic approach has been used through edge analytics on real vehicles. This has made it possible to deploy AI/ML algorithms to detect anomalies, novelties and degradation for critical components. The solution is flexible and agile - not only allowing radically faster deployment of algorithms, but also opening up to potential new revenue streams and further address fields as sustainability, driver coaching and services.

Software-defined mobility represents a new era of connected intelligent transportation platforms leveraging multiple ecosystems and significant revenue by the middle of this decade. Digital twins, 5G, and Edge will accelerate innovation and collaboration. Our panel of industry experts will explore the challenges and opportunities that will define this future-forward intelligent transportation and connected mobility ecosystem, underlying technology requirements, fundamental changes to data and autonomy platforms, functional safety, and sustainable benefits.

Satellites are becoming essential for the delivery of 5G services, particularly in remote areas, air or high seas. ESA is aimed at the development of space technology and systems. In Telecommunications, ESA is implementing activities to support the integration of satellite and terrestrial 5G networks. Efforts are under way worldwide on the definition and R&D of what 6G will be. Satellites will have a critical importance in 6G networks and ESA is planning activities to test and experiment with terrestrial mobile players key building blocks and features of the 6G network architecture.

By its nature, IoT opens up a number of security concerns because we’re now connecting real-world “things” to a network. In this session, Pat Wilbur, CTO of Hologram, will discuss some of the security challenges caused by connectivity, then shift gears to focus on the opportunities and innovations in security that IoT enables. He’ll be joined by Zach Diebold, Lead Software Architect of Cowboy, to share how Cowboy has harnessed connectivity to bring better safety and security for their bikes and riders.

By 2030, it’s projected that 100 percent of new vehicles sold will ship with connectivity platforms. In this session, learn about how OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, fleet telematics solution providers, and automotive ISVs build and deploy systems that securely connect vehicle fleets to the cloud, the newest capabilities for the industry, and best practices for connected vehicle platforms.
