Worldwide spending on Cognitive and AI to reach US$12.5bn in 2017, says new IDC spending guide A new update to the Worldwide Semiannual Cognitive Artificial Intelligence Systems Spending Guide from International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts worldwide revenues for cognitive and artificial intelligence (AI) systems will reach US$12.5 billion in 2017, an increase of 59.3% over 2016.

Global spending on cognitive and AI solutions will continue to see significant corporate investment over the next several years, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54.4% through to 2020 when revenues will be more than US$46 billion.

“Intelligent applications based on cognitive computing, artificial intelligence and deep learning are the next wave of technology transforming how consumers and enterprises work, learn and play,” said David Schubmehl, the research director for Cognitive Systems and Content Analytics at IDC. “These applications are being developed and implemented on cognitive/AI software platforms that offer the

NEWS IN BRIEF Infineon joins the 5G Automotive Association to contribute to connected automated driving Infineon Technologies has joined the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) in order to contribute to introducing the 5G standard into the car. The association works on the introduction of new communication solutions enabling connected automated driving and on intelligent transport systems. Infineon provides key technologies required for 5G, for the autonomous car and for electromobility.

“Secure communication with practically zero time delay is a critical requirement for the breakthrough of autonomous driving,” said Peter Schiefer, the president of the Automotive division at Infineon. “In close cooperation with the car industry and IT, Infineon supports the communication solutions for the automated car with its cutting-edge semiconductors and with system and security expertise.”

Dino Flore, director general of the 5GAA, added: “We’re delighted with Infineon’s joining the 5GAA. Infineon’s chip expertise for car electronics, data security, and mobile communication is a truly valuable addition to the 5GAA.”

tools and capabilities to provide predictions, recommendations and intelligent assistance through the use of cognitive systems, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Cognitive/AI systems are quickly becoming a key part of IT infrastructure and all enterprises need to understand and plan for the adoption and use of these technologies in their organisations.”

From a technology perspective, the largest area of spending in 2017 (US$4.5 billion) will be cognitive applications, which includes cognitively-enabled process and industry applications that automatically learn, discover and make recommendations or predictions.

Cognitive/AI software platforms, which provide the tools and technologies to analyse, organise, access and provide advisory services based on a range of structured and unstructured information, will see investments of nearly US$2.5 billion this year.

Spending on cognitive-related IT and business services will be more than $3.5 billion while dedicated server and storage purchase will total $1.9 billion. Each of these areas will experience strong growth throughout the forecast, led by cognitive applications with a five-year CAGR of 69.6%.

“Double-digit spending growth is expected for cognitive and artificial intelligence systems across all industries but growth varies depending on how well particular use cases solve existing and future business priorities,” added Marianne Daquila, the research manager for Customer Insights and Analysis at IDC. “Heavily regulated markets such as banking and securities investment services are among the early growth drivers. Collectively, these two financial industries will represent a quarter of worldwide spending on cognitive/AI solutions. Stringent compliance requirements are key drivers for these industries as they seek new innovations in fraud and risk detection.”

Wind River unveils on-premise cloud infrastructure designed to advance Industrial IoT Wind River, a global provider of software for the Internet of Things (IoT), has released a new software virtualisation platform enabling critical infrastructure Jim Douglas, companies to costWind River effectively evolve aging legacy control systems not previously designed to support the connected nature of IoT. The platform, called Wind River Titanium Control is claimed to empower the next generation of onpremise analytics to optimise industrial processes.

Traditional industrial control systems were not designed to support IoT, so most are rigid, single purpose and have a high cost to deploy, integrate, and maintain. In addition, the obsolescence cycle is driving system updates that require new systems to keep pace with innovation while maintaining or lowering capital costs.

Titanium Control is a commercially deployable on-premise cloud

infrastructure that virtualises traditional physical subsystems using a platform based on open standards.

Wind River says the platform delivers the high performance, high availability, flexibility and low latency needed to reduce capital and operating expenses, as well as minimise unscheduled downtime for industrial applications and control services at any scale.

“With the emergence of Industrial IoT, companies are looking to deploy nextgeneration open and secure control systems; Titanium Control addresses this need, and is in active trials with customers in industries ranging from manufacturing to energy to healthcare,” said Jim Douglas, president of Wind River. “Our software has been providing these companies with powerful ways to increase efficiency and bolster safety, security and reliability for the last 35 years.

With the addition of Titanium Control to our product portfolio, Wind River is driving a new industrial era through virtualisation, real-time performance and edge-to-cloud connectivity.”

IoT market value will be worth less than US$0.5tn globally by 2025, says Strategy Analytics IoT (the Internet of Things) undoubtedly offers significant cost savings, says Strategy Analytics, such as improved efficiency, reduced downtime, enhanced supply chain and new business opportunities. However, the market value for IoT solutions has been dramatically inflated by some analysts.

In its latest report Global IoT: A Billion not Trillion Dollar Opportunity Strategy Analytics concludes that IoT deployments remain limited and largely in trial or development phases.

Strategy Analytics interviewed IT decision makers across nine vertical markets in the US, UK, France, and Germany in January 2017.

The company’s key findings include: • More than70% of current IoT deployments in the US involve fewer than 500 devices. In all, two-thirds of businesses spent less than $100,000 on IoT projects • Globally, 35% of firms with IoT deployments note fewer than 100 devices connected • Primary processing, security and utilities are the three largest vertical markets

accounting for almost half of the global IoT market today. By 2025, security, primary processing and automotive will each generate over $50 billion annually in IoT revenue • Services will continue to be the biggest revenue opportunity accounting for 64% of global IoT revenue or $219 billion by 2025. The opportunity for professional services from vendors like IBM, HP, Cisco, SAP, Microsoft as well as Accenture, Cap Gemini and others is significant but competition is intense.

Harvey Cohen, president of Strategy Analytics, commented, “Estimates that put the IoT market value at $3tn or more have a credibility problem. Can IoT really be bigger than the entire IT industry? The economic value potential of IoT is indeed huge, but the opportunity for suppliers of products and services is likely to be measured in $US billions not trillions.

Nevertheless, the opportunity for professional services is attractive for firms who are seeing enterprise software sales stagnating.”

Andrew Brown, executive director of IoT, summarised: “No one vendor or supplier has all the skills needed to deliver, support, and maintain highly complex IoT solutions.

Partnerships and alliances will be critical.

While the opening moves have been taken we are still early in the dance. None of the barriers are insurmountable with the right partnerships, the appropriate understanding of business motivations and requirements, and an ability to provide consistent support across hardware, software and services.”

Gemalto accelerates IoT adoption and innovation in Japan Gemalto, a global provider of digital security, announces it has been selected by SoftBank as a partner for On-Demand Connectivity (ODC) services enabling both consumer and industrial machine-to-machine (M2M) IoT connectivity and deployment of value added applications and services.

Under the collaboration, Gemalto will supply its Remote SIM Provisioning platform, allowing SoftBank to remotely manage initial connectivity and subscriptions throughout the device’s lifecycle. This will give the Japan based mobile network operator a competitive edge in connecting expanding digital devices, such as connected cars, wearables, traffic monitoring systems, or smart meters.

“Gemalto is a tier one strategic partner with whom we have worked on many other successful innovative projects. With the

industry fast moving to IoT, Gemalto’s rich and wide-ranging portfolio of IoT products and solutions made it a natural choice for us,” said Hironobu Tamba, division head for the Service Platform Strategy & Development Division of Softbank. “As the number of connected devices grows each day, and the demand for flexibility and seamless user experience soars, we believe ODC is a game-changer for the telecommunications industry.”

Sashidhar Thothadri, the senior vice president of Mobile Services & IoT, South Asia & Japan at Gemalto, added: “We are very excited to be selected by SoftBank for this prestigious programme and with our experience of deploying more than 20 projects worldwide, we are confident of delivering a solid platform to boost new revenue streams and create a unique and valuable experience for customers.”

Autotalks raises $30m in Round D funding to speed global deployment of technologies for improving road safety Autotalks, a global provider of V2X (Vehicle to Everything) communication solutions, announced the completion of its Series D round with $30 million to expand its worldwide operations and accelerate deployment of technologies for safer and smarter autonomous vehicles.

The new funding round includes the company’s existing investors: Magma Venture Capital, Gemini Israel Fund, Amiti Fund, Mitsui & Co. Global Investment, Liberty Ventures and Delek Motors, as well as new financial investors: Israeli institutions, Fraser McCombs Ventures, Vintage Investment Partners and Samsung Catalyst Fund.

The closing of the funding round came at the heels of a USDOT (US Department of Transportation) issued NPRM (Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) that, in an effort to increase road safety, will mandate DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) based V2V in all new light vehicles sold in the US by 2023.

To meet this target, deployments will start in 2019. Autotalks’ products are the most advanced chipsets addressing this new upcoming regulation, with superior communication performance, strongest cybersecurity, highest integration level, and many competitive features.

Autotalks already ramped up its production capabilities and was selected by several leading car manufacturers to supply its V2V solution.

“We are very pleased with the completion of this financing round, supported by such strong syndicate.

It demonstrates clear vote of confidence in Autotalks’ ability to execute and gain a leading market share,” said Hagai Zyss, Autotalks’ CEO. “Our mission to equip vehicles with such lifesaving technology is now being adopted by the regulators and leading car manufacturers. I believe our chipsets will soon be part of most new vehicles worldwide.”

INTERVIEW

The technology is here, it’s the value chain for virtualised systems that’s challenging IoT for industrial automation As industrial organisations assess and prepare to deploy IoT systems, many of the concerns about the technology, including the performance, scalability and security, are being addressed by technical innovation. However, the business model for vendors and the new value chain that is required to support virtualised technical approaches to mature industrial processes is proving harder to address. Here, Jim Douglas, the president of Wind River, tells George Malim that industrial organisations are starting their deployments, trialling new models and new approaches in preparation for reaping the full benefits of optimised, IoT-enabled processes as the value chain surrounding new technologies matures further

However, organisations such as these do face challenges within this relatively simple model. “Their main challenge is obsolescence and this is exacerbated because they’re not really following the innovation curve and suffer from significant vendor lock-in because changing vendors isn’t practical during a decade or longer deployment life,” says Douglas. “In addition, it’s a big step to move from the long-term deployment of tried and tested technologies onto the innovation curve which offers the potential for organisations to cost effectively move to a model that

doesn’t require devices to be in place for decades to be cost effective. For example, many industrial organisations would welcome the greater interoperability offered by innovative devices as well as the means of driving down deployment and maintenance costs these can offer.”

This, though, is a big step for manufacturing organisations that are highly familiar with the embedded, self-contained environment of devices that are not connected to the internet. There’s an attitude here that the current systems work and organisations are happy with their performance, but Douglas thinks there’s a growing recognition that IoT-related technologies can enable them to access more innovation and achieve improved performance.

“There’s an attitude of: if it isn’t broken, don’t try and fix it,” explains Douglas. “Why rip something out and take on the risk of something new if what’s already in place is still performing as expected is an understandable point of view. However, these deployments are obviously not optimal if they’re not taking advantage of the innovation curve to enable effective integration of the system with others.”

“I think it’s understood that the promise here is great, but the consternation has

As critical infrastructure companies address the challenges posed by their legacy systems they are looking to IoT-enabled systems to give them greater flexibility while still ensuring very high availability and strong security. This is particularly apparent in the manufacturing industry in which device deployments have typically had extremely long lifecycles, as Jim Douglas, the president of Wind River, points out: “Deployments in factories have had a mentality of plugging in a device, forgetting about it and hoping for the best – with a lifecycle of 15-30 years,” he says. “The deployment cost is significant and so is the cost of maintenance but the long lifecycle and the limited functionality help to alleviate this.”

been around the transition and ensuring that the transformation works,” he adds. “There is concern about whether the technologies out there are going to give the performance, the scalability and the security the business needs. Security is a very real concern and many organisations have equipment that probably doesn’t even have an IP address in deployment, so feel their system is wisely separate from the security challenges of enterprise IT and the internet. To move from that and suddenly have equipment that is internet-connected presents a clear and understandable point of concern.”

That concern has resulted in caution when it comes to approaching system upgrades. Organisations are looking to trial new approaches rather than commit to them across their entire business.

“You’re not going to see clean sweep upgrades, no one is going to accept the disruption of a complete deployment,” confirms Douglas. “That would be ideal in terms of accelerating the benefits, but it won’t happen in the real world. What you will see, though, is departments start to pick off various parts of their operations and slowly deploy new technologies and approaches.”

Into the virtualised environment The other half of the equation is that companies need support from their suppliers. This is not just a technical challenge, it’s a value chain challenge.

“Software-defined networks (SDN) in the enterprise, virtualisation and virtualised networks sound great on paper, but are wildly disruptive to the existing models of the current equipment value chain,” he adds.

“Open hardware and open software platforms present a completely different way of capturing value and business models haven’t been defined yet. For traditional vendors, it’s terrifying. In talking to end users, we have forewarned them that you can’t get to the idealised view of virtualisation from here without addressing the value chain of your suppliers.”

wins. “If you look at a processing platform, the deployment cost of the system is explicit and rigid and, to achieve reliability the system is triple redundant,” explains Douglas. “If something fails, you literally have someone walking around to upgrade triple redundant layers in the topology. The aim is move to more standard compute platforms to aid maintenance and achieve greater flexibility.”

Yet the question of where to start remains a big issue. Companies aren’t going to implement everything overnight. “The initial area of interest is virtualizing the basic control layer. The desired outcome is adding more dedicated control loops and adding portability and system interoperability,” he says. “Challenges still remain in terms of how to upgrade, perform live patches and maintain reliability and eventually achieve high speeds and high performance going down to the lower levels of the topology.”

There are lessons to be learnt from transformations in other industries and Douglas singles out the telecom industry as one that is going through similar technological and business model transformation. “Telecom operators’ biggest issue was how to deploy services they could monetise, but the technical requirements of a telco and a manufacturing business are actually very similar,” he says. “Both require very high availability and reliability. They need the ability to maintain, upgrade and fix while the system is live, without compromising performance and minimizing downtown to minutes a year.”

In factories, the real-time requirements around actuation and control have to have guaranteed access to resources, such as for a critical safety function. CPU, memory and storage must be always available. “The notion

of consolidating federated systems will also be attractive in manufacturing,” Douglas emphasises. “For example, in planes there are a large number of redundant systems and complimentary systems. Everything is about space, weight and power in planes so anything that can reduce replication without compromising safety has a huge benefit. If you can take 1,000ft of cable out of a plane, that has an enormous weight reduction impact that will have a direct effect on the cost curve.”

The capability of IoT to revolutionise the factory floor through the effective use of device-collected data is often trumpeted as a new development, but this simply isn’t the case. The data’s always been there but hasn’t been exploited effectively to date. “One of the misconceptions is that the fascination with data is recent,” agrees Douglas. “The reality is that a factory floor has always generated a ton of data, but the issue has been how to collect it and then what to do with it. A factory floor could be throwing out a thousand terabits of data per month so the challenges are how to efficiently collect the data, how to manage it, what to do with it, and how to respond rapidly to insights within that slew of data.”

“Early IoT implementations were focused on driving telemetry data from the edge to the cloud. However, many IoT use cases in critical infrastructure require feedback and decision making in real-time. Therefore, the latency associated with moving critical data sets to the cloud won’t be acceptable. This is going to lead to a lot more processing power moving closer to the edge to enable critical decisions to be made in real-time,” adds Douglas. “Decisions that need to be made in real time will leverage compute power being closer to the edge. In parallel, larger data sets

can be batched and sent to the cloud in the most economic fashion for additional processing and analytics. Evolving machine and deep learning algorithms can be run on the cloud side to ultimately discover ways to improve operational aspects of deployed systems. In the long term this will be the biggest gain from IoT. If organisations can use data to better understand how to optimize system deployments, they can send control data back down to the factory floor to tune performance and system behaviour.

That’s the big promise of IoT.”

Industrial IoT As concepts of the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 gather momentum and attention, there’s a new focus on the economic benefits that industry will harness from IoT technologies, which Douglas welcomes. “We think it’s great that embedded technology is attracting attention again,” he says. “The reality is that the majority of the economic gains projected for IoT are in the industrial complex. A 1% saving on the gallons of gas consumed for airlines amounts to trillions of dollars and that’s going to far outstrip the economic value of consumer applications.”

“Wind River’s DNA is around building safe and secure, reliable systems and we have a huge footprint of customers who have been able to deploy and operate these systems for years,” he adds. “Historically, to mitigate safety and security concerns, many of these systems never touched an enterprise network or the internet. We’re in the optimum position to help customers liberate the data from these systems in a secure and cost effective manner. As part of Intel, we’re in a great position to drive complete software and hardware solution capabilities that will accelerate the adoption of IoT in critical infrastructure domains. By providing leading solutions in the cloud, the network, and at the edge we can address the entire IoT virtuous cycle.”

One critical piece of the solution includes high performance compute nodes (“fog computing”) that sit close to the edge and provide the environment for real time analytics. Titanium Control is a software virtualisation platform that enables critical infrastructure companies to cost-effectively evolve aging legacy control systems not previously designed to support the connected nature of IoT. The platform empowers organisations with the next generation of on-premise analytics so they can optimise industrial processes. Titanium Control delivers the high performance, high availability, flexibility, and low latency needed to reduce capital and operating expenses, as well as to minimise unscheduled downtime for industrial applications and control services at any scale. Unlike enterprise IT

Supplement IoT Now - April/May 2017

virtualisation platforms, it provides high reliability for applications and services deployed at the network edge, for example in fog deployments.

Unplanned downtime is, of course, the perpetual nemesis of productivity in all manufacturing environments so Wind River has been focusing on addressing this with its offerings. “It comes back to the attributes of platforms like Titanium Control that enable organisations to triage and operate the system live so you have the capability to perform live patching if you need a new upgrade for a device,” Douglas explains. “A lot of this is commonplace in enterprise IT, but is scary for the industrial complex. Having a system that is fault tolerant and fails over if something goes wrong is vital so being able to prove to them that you have redundancy and fault tolerance built in is one of the main proof points needed,” he adds. “Companies haven’t known technology like this exists so there is some need to inform and educate them as to the capabilities and resilience that can be achieved. With the emergence of IIoT, companies are looking to deploy nextgeneration open and secure control systems; Titanium Control addresses this need, and is in active trials with customers in industries ranging from manufacturing to energy to healthcare.”

“Wind River’s DNA is around building safe and secure, reliable systems and we have a huge footprint of customers who have been able to deploy and operate these systems for years,”

It’s clear that we are now entering a period of sustained disruption as technologies such as IT and network virtualisation come to market at the same time as IoT offerings and alternative means of connection. These technologies are starting to find their way onto the factory floor, creating substantial management challenges and uncertainties.

“The technology is here, the economies of the technology are here but the value chain isn’t ready yet,” Douglas warns. “The approaches we are talking about are potentially very disruptive to how equipment suppliers capture value today. Breaking their current monetisation engine without a well thought out business model transition is suicide. This means they will not push initiatives that potentially render their traditional business models obsolete without knowing what their new business model is going to be.”

“I think the value chain will be the bigger challenge than the technology,” he adds.

“We’ve been talking to large customers about this and they’re excited about it and looking to accelerate the speed of adoption. We’re excited about this too because we are incredibly well positioned to help companies reduce the risk of transformation so they can begin to take advantage of the incredible economic benefits of IoT. We have what is needed to make IoT deliver on its promises across the industrial complex.”

The conference includes four tracks of content, four all new preconference workshops, an Industrial IoT conference, hands on demonstrations, keynotes and an IoT exhibition. Here, IoT Now previews the event

With four tracks of content, IoT Evolution covers all functional areas of the enterprise and highlights the IoT solutions and strategies that will drive success.

Conference tracks include:

Business Intelligence and Analytics In this track, attendees will delve into the inner workings of strategic business intelligence and analytics. Learn how sensors and IoT technology at the edge of the network deliver information, and how that intelligence is processed, managed and used to help enterprises make powerful tactical business decisions that will lead to real improvements in business outcomes.

Smart City The smart city is the heart of true systems of things and the end result of total IoT implementation. Here, conference attendees will discover the smart cities are designed to support the citizens of those communities and help to make their lives better, while finding efficiencies in transportation, lighting, parking, buildings, energy and dozens of other vertical industries. Learn to take advantage of the IoT to facilitate services.

Enterprise Operations Operations departments are where the work of IoT implementation happens in the enterprise. This track will explore the ways to enable operators to utilise remote management and asset tracking to maximise operations, lower costs, be more effective and find new revenue opportunities. Here, enterprise executives will learn how to build a systematic IoT strategy, engineers will learn where to focus their efforts for the greatest returns and business development will see the trends that will shape the industry.
