IEEE IoT Use Cases Workshop

IEEE IoT Use cases Workshop

Venue: Hotel Lalit Ashok Bangalore

Date: 4^th December 2015

Our co founder Deva P Seetharam was one of the key speakers in this workshop.

Snippets of the Workshop and the key points by Deva:

·         Highlighting the evolution of IoT from the World War II to till date.

Trends in IoT Success Stories and Challenges

Mentioning the importance of IoT in different industry verticals in India and resolve key issues

Challenges in scaling due market economics, unavailability and complexity of different sensors in India

Show casing and to enable India through our Dataglen platform in Data Sensing and Aggregation. Data Management , Data Processing and Analytics and Data Presentation

Track and monitor the  health of the sensor on real time , error analysis with alerting mechanism

Nebula developed by Radio Studio the sensor with specific functionalities can track and measure and integrate with Dataglen platform

Significance of IoE and need to train students and Dataglen along with Radio Studio is driving a new initiative IoE lab

In Search of Raw Data to Ra Data

Date : 24^th July 2015

Place : 60 kms from Trichy in Tamilnadu

Solar Farm : 20 MW & 10 MW

Area : 10 acres

Once fertile agricultural lands with cash crops are still fertile with cash, Yes!!! all the arid lands are being converted to Solar farms.

Solar farms are environmental friendly with less pollution. Entrepreneurs look as a viable option for investment and revenue .

 These solar plants deployed in remote locations provide a spin off in terms of employment for the people in the nearby villages from unskilled to skilled labor.

Renewable Energy is gaining importance in India , with the launch of plethora of schemes from Government of India .

India Shines 

India has 300 clear sunny days.

India's power reception theoretically is 5000 trillion KWh per year.

Daily average solar incident is between 4 to 7 KW/sq mtr.

As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India has set itself a target of 100 GW of Solar Power generation by 2022.

40 GW in terms of utility scale.

40 GW in terms of roof top solutions.

20 GW in terms of entrepreneurial scheme. ( Our Target )

According to Mark Jacobson Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Stanford University,  the renewable energy gains importance with the depletion of fossil fuel , and also showed with a model  by 2030 how the world can get all of its energy  fuel as well as electricity from wind, water and solar sources .

With Internet of Things(IoT) devices connectivity which is set to reach a 50 billion mark by 2020, it becomes very critical and a huge challenge to manage the humongous amount of data that will flow through.

We, at Dataglen, provide solutions in terms of data collection, curation, management and analytics for the massive amount of data generated by IoT devices.

  

The plant visit  provided a comprehensive insights regarding the current  set up, the pain points in the existing set up and what the customer actually needs in terms of the monitoring systems and solutions.

This is just the beginning and the search is on .....

DaemonSitter released on github

We have developed a simple python-based tool for monitoring systemd daemons.  This tool has been tested ONLY on Debian Stable (Jessie) that is running systemd and Python 2.7.  We have released this as an open source under apache license on github (https://github.com/dataglen/daemonsitter.git).

We would love to get your comments/suggestions/questions/advice.

Tanuja's Keynote in ICACCI

Tanuja, one of the co-founders, delivered a keynote address at the 4th International Conference on Advances in Computing, Communication & Informatics. The title of her talk was "Bridging the Cyber and Physical Worlds - Opportunities and Challenges of IoT Technologies". The slides are available here.

Tagging Indian wildlife

As reported by Slashdot, OCEARCH tags the world's most dangerous sharks with four different tracking devices and then offers all the data to the public. This project  has really taken off, garnering hundreds of thousands of users.

We believe we can do a similar project to protect Indian wild animals such as tigers and elephants given the poaching crisis here. That at least will bring public attention to an important ecological issue.

If there is such a genuine project, DataGlen would be happy to serve as the data repository for FREE.

Organizing ACM e-energy 2015

ACM e-energy 2015 (http://conferences.sigcomm.org/eenergy/2015/) aims to be the premier venue for researchers working in the broad areas of computing and communication for smart energy systems, and in energy-efficient computing and communication systems. 

Three of the founders were members of the organizing committee - Tanuja was one of the three co-chairs of the Distributed Energy Networks Workshop, Sunil was the one of the two web co-chair and Deva was one of the three General Co-Chairs of the conference. 

The conference was attended by ~100 delegates hailing from 16 countries in 5 continents. The papers were of highest quality since the papers were selected by rigorous review and shepherding processes. We were also lucky to get several eminent scientists/technologists to delivery invited addresses. 

Overall the conference was enjoyable and informative.
