Hi, I'm Michael Curry

Vice President of product management for application and integration middleware

inside of IBM

Today I'm going to talk to you a little bit about the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is about weaving together the physical and digital worlds

to deliver new value for different types of customer scenarios

The demonstration I'm going to show you today focuses on

a piece of physical equipment in an asset-intensive industry

I'm going to show you how we're going to connect that to

the Internet, to the Cloud, and actually begin to collect data from that

and be able to react to changes in that physical equipment

in a way that helps improve my business results

So let's get into it

In this case we will be using a pump

I'm going to connect the pump into the Cloud

and begin collecting data from the pump

I'll be using IBM Bluemix

our Cloud platform for rapid application development and deployment

Since the Internet of Things always starts with a thing that is connected

I'm going to be starting with this demonstration board

which is a TI Texas Instruments sensor tag

This sensor tag is connected into this BeagleBone board through bluetooth

which is then connected through wifi into the Internet and eventually into the Cloud

This is going to represent my pump

So first I want to register this device into Bluemix

and begin collecting data from it

and what you can see is

I'm viewing a live datafeed from the sensors

You can see as a shake the device

that the data is changing in real time

The red line represents the vibrations

but simply seeing the data is not enough

developers want to build applications around the data

and logic around the data

so for that I'm going to use Bluemix

In Bluemix we've created an Internet of Things boilerplate

that deploys the services I need

to connect, store, and build logic around the Internet of Things

Inside Bluemix I have access to all the other services within the ecosystem

including mobile services, Big Data services,

Watson services, and third-party services

I can use our DevOps tools to quickly

build, test and deploy services,

and embedded device code that leverage the power of Bluemix

As I mentioned at the beginning

this board represents the pump

I want to set up logic to detect when an unusual

vibration pattern occurs in the pump

so I'll use my Bluemix design tool to define this logic

This flow simply collects data from the pump,

runs a predictive maintenance and quality service against the data

which uses big data analytics to predict failures

and then when a failure condition is sensed

it will trigger a work order in our asset management service to dispatch a

repair technician with the right skills,

tools and parts before the failure happens

It will also send a text message through Bluemix Twilio service to my phone

So I'll simply link my predictive maintenance application into the flow and deploy it

and now I'll be using predictive analytics against the realtime data stream

to recognize patterns that would indicate the potential pending failure

In this case we're only looking at three data streams off a single device

to predict health

but in a live scenario we could be monitoring over a hundred simultaneous

sensor readings per device with thousands of devices

PMQ, which is our predictive maintenance and quality service

is using advanced predictive analytic models

to determine the likelihood of failure based on historical and realtime data

You can see now in my realtime datastream that when I simulate the vibration

the predictive analytics recognize that the vibration exceeds the acceptable thresholds

and it's making a recommendation on what I should do

In this case is telling me to inspect and replace the impeller bearing

It's also generating a work order in our asset management system

that will dispatch a repair technician to inspect the pump

and of course I just received the text on my phone

So if I go into my asset management screens I can see the work order

that was just generated for this pump

My Asset Management service acts as a system of record for assets

tracking every asset in my inventory

By connecting it into the Internet of Things

I can associate realtime sensor events to my assets to manage them more efficiently

The power of the Asset Management service

is that the technician has all the information they need

to fix the problem at their fingertips

including detailed data from the sensors,

repair history, repair procedures

and information on spare parts

and special tools that are needed for the repair for this special part

What I showed you was a complete loop

from connecting a device,

to building an application around it in Bluemix,

to harnessing the power of our big data analytics,

to feeding into operational systems a record to dispatch a repair technician

and address a real business challenge for asset-intensive industries

The power of IBM in the Internet of Things

comes when you combine our strengths

in Cloud, data, and engagement

to deliver new types of applications very quickly

across all different industries

You can use our extensive set of tools within Bluemix

to be able to build and prototype new applications

and test huge populations of connected devices

without ever having to connect anything

You can use our big data analytics

to try new types of analytic models,

predictive models, physical analytics,

and even different types of analytics around data streams

You can use our cognitive tools like Watson

to be able to build entirely new types of applications very quickly

that take advantage of cognitive computing and artificial intelligence

And you can tap into our vast ecosystems of partners

and customers that are delivering new innovations into the market

to create new applications and build new partnerships around your data

Only IBM can combine these capabilities together

in a composable framework in a scalable way

that can deliver upon enterprise goals

across all industries and across all geographies

Thank you for your time today

and we look forward to working with you
