Making value apparent - we're connecting capabilities to enable Internet of Things adoption

On 19th May the Pitch-In programme hosted the fourth session in its series of online mini-events: Successful innovation in manufacturing using the Internet of Things. The event demonstrated how digitalisation and the adoption of IoT can transform efficiencies, and in particular how low-cost automation, collaborative analytics, and strategic digitalisation processes can be implemented in small, medium and large manufacturing companies.

On 12th May, our third online dissemination event took place: The Internet of Things in Smart Cities and Smart Regions. Attendees were able to find out about key projects that have investigated the barriers to the adoption of IoT in Smart Cities and Smart Regions and methods for overcoming these barriers.

The Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), University of Cambridge, has launched a new executive training course called: The new era of customer experience: Optimising engagement across digital, physical and social channels. A 10% discount is offered to the Pitch-In network.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) are complex engineering systems encompassing analogue/physical quantities with digital/discrete controllers. This project will develop solutions for practical verification issues for complex CPS/IoT systems in the automotive domain, which include black-box learning/adaptive components.

The operations of many supply chains today are hampered by lack of integration between constituencies, in particular a lack of integrated real-time data. This project will provide a demonstration platform that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) and operational data to illustrate efficiencies gained.

IoT related companies face challenges in defining and including related products and services, as well as challenges addressing barriers and business settings. This project aims to survey the IoT company ecosystem by reviewing and extending the already existing IoTUK Nation Database to capture IoT specific information.

A final review of the Pitch-In programme, this conference marks the culmination of the three-year programme which has encouraged uptake of IoT technologies through collaborations between universities and industry. Join us to find out how we have demonstrated the value of IoT to the UK's Industrial Strategy, the major findings and lessons learned.

A team at the Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge is piloting an executive education course from 15-17th June in Cambridge sponsored by Pitch-In.

Oxford University has several spaces and programmes from which industry and start-ups can base themselves to access IoT expertise from across the University.

The IfM is a division of the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering. IfM Education and Consultancy Services (IfM ECS) provides consultancy and executive and professional development.

The National Centre for Energy Systems Integration (CESI) at Newcastle University brings together energy experts from around the world to help unravel the energy network and understand future supply and demand.
