There are a dozen rows of chairs in the Infospace hall. Gradually, people appear, occupy places, there are fewer and fewer free ones. Someone is stretching, someone is sorting through handouts, someone is opening a laptop, the operators of the Federal News Agency are preparing cameras and lights so that at night about the conference . Everything changes when the conference for professionals in the Internet of things market opens : he tells what awaits us, who will perform and why it is important to be at InoThings Conf 2019 today. Everyone understands that the event of the year is ahead.
On April 4, the Infospace hosted a conference for those who understand IoT best of all and earn money on it. 19 reports, 20 speakers, 100 questions and 3 round tables. Let's briefly talk about what she remembers.
19 reports, 100 questions
Reports are the first conditional half of the event, where some experts talk about their mistakes or successful cases to the community so that it does not repeat the wrong experience, but repeats the right one. At 19 reports, participants asked 100 questions to the speakers. And here is a summary of what we remember.
that at first they created a product in Astrosoft Research and Development Center LLC to solve their problems, and then it turned out to be useful to other companies.
shared stories of how modern IoT interacted with housing and communal services: electric meters, heating pipes, lighting poles, 66 months of payback, 100% coverage of Chelyabinsk and a βfatherβs blessingβ to everyone who decides to go to work in this area.
explained that vulnerabilities, bugs, remote code execution should be looked for in IoT software, just like in any other. Static analysis helps to completely cover the code and find vulnerabilities. How to implement it, what stages, processes and what results to expect from static analysis were described in detail by Yaroslav.
shared real cases: how a logistics company came to Geyser-Telecom with the tasks of controlling overload, driver and tire pressure, how to control the level of grain in storage, how to βforceβ a client to use a project to increase productivity and automation in production, which he himself and ordered. Each case is a rule paid for by the time and money of the company.
deeply technical, but aroused a lively response - half of the time was devoted to questions: how SPODES data is converted into the protocol of another counter, how not to lose DLMS packets, how is timekeeping accuracy achieved, how long does the session last?
20 speakers for 3 tables
The main event of the entire conference is a public discussion of the pain points of the industry. There are three points in total: national standards, business processes in IoT ΠΈ microelectronics in Russia.
walked for over an hour and a half. About the list of participants, the topic and the importance of the table in detail . We will not repeat ourselves, but the scale that Oleg promised has been fulfilled. A few quotes for the big picture.
- For the average official, the Internet of Things is a stool with access to prohibited resources. There is an Internet means SORM.
- Previously, our auto industry was crushed by right-hand drive cars and other foreign cars. Then the state created the conditions under which the market share of domestic cars grew, and foreign cars began to be assembled here. Maybe go this way than take a weak, raw standard, and then finish it for three years?
- The national standard is inevitable. Therefore, we need to think about how not to lead us into isolation and cut off technological innovations along the way.
- There is no such international standard that can be taken and used. This is not Wi-Fi 802.11, which you can take, read the documentation and apply. Therefore, the standard is not taken from abroad. Yes, it is raw, full of holes, but offer better.
- We live, work and do business in Russia. On the international market, we have miserable sales, so it is impossible to say that we must adopt international standards. We are not even technologically ready for this.
- We did not write the standard from scratch and proposed to make it a national standard. We produced 350 devices that work and then proposed a standard.
- If you have any suggestions, don't discuss them on social networks, but send them to the technical committee. All the experts gathered in Telegram, discussed everything and came to nothing.
Second table hosted by Oleg Artamonov. Geyser Telecom, Goodwin Concern, Sibintek, MTS, Activity discussed the IoT device sales model, business process improvements and, of course, standards. And also why it is impossible to put an engineer as a manager, why small projects in the Internet of Things are impossible, why iron is not a goal, but a means.
Third round table . Representatives of companies attended Sierra Wireless, newtech ΠΈ , which had a booth with Baikal-T1 processors in the conference hall. The processors are installed on the Tavolga Terminal, Linux is running and the Internet is connected - a living system with which you can play around, touch it with your hands and ask questions. What everyone did, so as not to miss the opportunity to get acquainted with the system, which everyone knows about, but met little.
Most of the questions that were asked at the Baikal Electronics booth migrated to the round table: why do all this, what are the prospects, why is the Russian market so small. How to scale processors, what is generally understood as domestic development of processors, can processors be considered domestic, if some blocks are bought abroad, some are developed at home, and are produced in Taiwan? In a separate line, questions about China: when will it come, what to be afraid of and what to do?
We hope that at the next conferences other domestic manufacturers, following the example of Baikal Electronics, will bring their developments, which will be interesting to see, touch and apply.
The conference went quickly: all the slides were flipped, all the questions were asked, all the coffee was drunk. If the reports and round tables had not been limited in time, InoThings Conf 2019 would have stretched until the morning. Now we have a whole year: for participants to process and implement information, for speakers to collect material for new presentations, for organizers to prepare InoThings Conf 2020.
Soon in the blog we will start publishing transcripts of reports, on open video recordings from the conference. Subscribe to to receive fresh content. In addition to reports, we will send you news, announcements of the new conference and IoT materials that appear at our other conferences.
