Four of the experts from the Watson IoT Platform set up a panel for an introduction to the Connection Service, Analytics Service, and Blockchain Service followed by an audience Q&A.
Learn how to get started with Watson IoT Platform quickly and take advantage of the leading platform for industrial IoT. This lab will provide an overview and hands-on experience of Watson IoT Platform, including: Connection Service—to connect devices and start event data ingest; and Analytics Service—to gain insights from data using an extensible catalog of analytical functions.
This recording introduces the ‘Getting Hands-On with Watson IoT Platform’ hands-on lab. It introduces the operator persona, the scenario, the instrumentation of the Munich HQ with the sensors used in this lab.
Join us to learn about user experience for enterprise users in managing device connection and analytic services in the Watson IoT Platform. We’ll talk about usability design and get your feedback on our direction and strategy.
In this lab, you will explore the Risk and Security Management capability in the Watson Internet of Things platform. You will get hands-on experience on connecting devices, configuring client and server certificates, managing connection policies, and tracking compliance to the configured security policies. You will also review the Risk and Security Management user experience, new experimental features and provide your feedback on the usability of the design.
In this lab, you will learn how to simulate devices connecting to the Watson Internet of Things Platform. Using simulated devices, you can quickly get started with the Watson IoT Platform, explore the IoT service model in IBM Cloud, and use IoT Platform APIs to retrieve device data, and test your IoT applications without using any physical devices.
In the IoT Edge hands-on lab, you will learn about the steps to configure and connect a Raspberry Pi device to run as an IoT Edge Gateway connected to the Watson IoT Platform. You will also learn about the distribution of Data Management and custom Edge Service workloads to the IoT Edge Gateway. These workloads will perform filtering, transformation, and analytics on edge sensor data events.
As a lab attendee, you will explore the user experience in working with IoT Edge Gateways and provide your feedback on the design of this preview 2 beta capability.
The content of this lab can use used in your IoT Platform organization. Use these post-Think 2018 instructions.
In this lab, you will learn how to get started with the IoT Platform and use Data Management to transform and normalize data from connected devices. Using Data Management, you can define event type schemas for your device messages and create interfaces that define abstractions, and compute the state of your devices.
We generated a Big Idea idea about the design of what to do when public transportation is canceled and people are stuck in the center of Stockholm.
We generated a Stakeholder Map from the Big Idea.
Officials and Data providers
City officials, public departments, police, public transport companies, maintenance managers, and engineers working on broken infrastructure. They all have information to share about the situation, recommendations on what to do, and the plans when it will be fixed.
Alternative transporters
Drivers, Taxis, Pooling, Bike rentals, and kind people can help citizens to get from Stockholm city to their homes or other destinations.
Citizens
Going from a commonplace A to their destinations
Going from A to a common destination B
Businesses and Developers
Businesses that want to use this event to generate business and deliver services
The workshop explored the empathy map for Bob. An empathy map structures what Bob ‘Say’, ‘Feels’, ‘Thinks’ and ‘Does’.Bob, owning a bike rental business, THINKS this is a great opportunity. “How much can I earn?.” He thinks about the situation and his capacity to deliver his service.
“Do I have enough bikes, locks, helmets?”. “How should my customer pay?”.
But at the moment he FEELS happy and a bit stressed. He needs help to pull this off. And he feels good about helping people.
He SAYS – “I love SL and the business it brings me” and asks “Where should I keep my bikes to be ready?”.
He bumps up the price of rentals and calls in help from his friends using SMSs.
John THINKS, and fears, that crimes were committed and hopes that no one is hurt. He assesses where dangerous situations may occur. He needs to work overtime.
He FEELS stressed and disappointed. Oh, no, not again. He needs to stay focused and realize he just missed his ‘fika’-break 🙁
He SAYS – “How can I help” and “Keep CALM”. He instructs on routes to exit out of Stockholm city.
He gives directions and advice. He sizes the situation, reports on needs, and calls in for assistance. He provides assistance to people with special needs.
We ended the workshop by calling out the needs of Bob and John.
Based on the needs statement, we find the following design opportunities
Transportation
Finding contacts
“Very useful and inspiring”
IBM Design Thinking: Deliver Breakthrough User-Centric Solutions
Make and model of products from a single manufacturer include a lot of variability in the underlying components and sensors. When you are building IoT solutions to work with a range of connected THINGS from many suppliers, you start to realize the huge challenge you face managing the interaction with this broad and complex device ecosystem. Wouldn’t it be better if the IoT application developer could just interact with a standard resource model and the underlying IoT platform managed the relationship between the model and the real-world devices? Come and learn more about the latest innovations in the Watson IoT Platform.
This session presents the new Information Management capabilities in the Watson IoT Platform for device abstractions and things aggregation that is the basis for the Digital Twin work for IoT.
The Watson IoT Platform design puts users first in researching their usage patterns, use cases, and needs. This round-table session will present and discuss the IoT Platform Information Management experience. Share your insights, needs, wants, and requests for managing the information and programming model on devices and things in the IBM Watson Internet of Things Platform!
