14. • First think of the impacted business solution
• Implement a quickwin to kickstart a big initiative
Conclusions
Think business value, not technology
Choose an IoT Platform
• Avoid Do-It-Yourself initiatives that hamper scaling
• Security is a key feature in Enterprise IoT initiatives
(which IoT platforms offer at their core)
• An IoT platform still has a learning curve !
Choose your sensors wisely
• “Multiple roads lead to Rome”
• Precision, reliability, etc vary greatly …
• … and also the cost !
• In a lot of cases, it takes more than 1 sensor
Don’t be afraid of Machine learning
• Technology is NOT the challenge (any more)
• Several learning methods exist, align with your use
case
• Data preparation is key
