Brief Introduction

Its big and real

Any TIME, Any THING, Any PLACE connection

Its your things

Your Things = Embedded Technologies, Your Data = Data Science

A case to consider

Amit is a automated embroidery plant owner with investment of 5 million USD

He imports yarn, stiches them using machines and ships to his potential customers worldwide

Today he don’t have any clue about:• What is my yarn usage percentage?

• How much % of yarn is getting wasted?

• Which embroidery machine is utilized how much percentage (machine productivity)?

• Suppose some machine is not utilized properly what is the reason (labor was on leave, machine failure, trade union strike etc..)

• How my machine operators are performing (manual productivity)?

• Suppose I want to expand my plat capacity by 10x how do I know where and how to invest?

• In case of emergency in my plant, how do I get alerts?

Core issue: Heterogeneous entities in the plant (machinery, human being, computer)

What if..

All different types of embroidery machine’s information is gathered real time - Sensors & Embedded devices

Exported into a centralized server using a local network - Networking

The server runs an application that mashes real time information and creates live dashboard – Cloud hosted applications

The whole information is exported via mobile application to monitor management on a 24x7x365 basis - Mobile apps

Over a period of time Amit gets to see data and make intelligent decisions on 10x expansion- Data mining, intelligence, analytics

Key Trends

Business trends

Costs are falling

(Chips, Storage)

Acception of Internet as a center

(SaaS, PaaS, IaaS)

Doing more with less

(Improve productivity, Bring down cost)

M2M is here to stay

(More device talking with each other )

Money-Honey!

(Economic benefits up-to $6.2 trillion)

Technology trends

Open Source Software

(GPL, Linux Kernel, Apache)

Standard Protocol & Interfaces

(REST, HTTP, SOAP)

Seamless connectivity

(Wi-Fi, LTE)

Open Hardware

(Raspberry-Pi, Panda, UDOO)

Community & Forums - Moderation

(Linux Foundation)

The role of Open Source

How it all started?

With GNU (GNU is not UNIX)

Richard Stallman made the initial announcement in 1983, Free Software

Foundation (FSF) got formed during 1984

Volunteer driven GNU started developing multiple projects, but making it as

an operating system was always a challenge

During 1991 a Finnish Engineer Linus Torvalds developed core OS

functionality, called it as “Linux Kernel”

Linux Kernel got licensed under GPL, which laid strong platform for the

success of Open Source

Rest is history!

How it evolved?

Kernel

Applications

Customization

Multiple Linux distributions started emerging around the Kernel

Some applications became platform independent

Community driven software development started picking up

Initially seen as a “geek-phenomenon”, eventually turned out to be an

engineering marvel

Centered around Internet

Building a business around open source started becoming viable

Redhat set the initial trend in the OS business

Where it stands now?

OS Databases Server/Cloud Enterprise

Consumer Education CMS eCommerce

Kernel history

Embedded + Kernel

Non x86 architectures in Embedded Systems

Secure and portable monolithic architecture

Supports multiple instructions (ARM, MIPS, PPC etc…) – ideal for Embedded

Quality and reliability of code

Communication protocols and software standards

Cost and Time-to-market advantages

Vendor independence

Engineering marvel

How you can benefit from this?

Three RECW stories

WIIFM: Three things

Build “real” and “cool” things

(Solutions using boards)

Learn “community” way of developing software

(Its just NOT you)

Understand “engineering” a product/software

(Agile, Continuous Integration, TDD etc…)

Stay connected
