Andrew Scheuermann, founder and CEO, Arch Systems, has always been passionate about bringing technology into the physical world and has since dedicated his career to bridging the gap between the IoT (Internet of Things) and the real world. Scheuermann explains how he and his partner are using sensor technology to bring clean drinking water to remote parts of Africa and how modular sensor design combined with M2M communication is making it all possible.

Meredith Perry, founder and CEO, uBeam, joins Peggy to talk about how wireless power transmission is leading the charge into the future of device-power management. Perry explains what exactly ultrasound wireless charging is, how it works, and why her company, uBeam, has focused on it. She also gives her views into what it means to be a leader and how to motivate a modern, tech-savvy staff.

Host Peggy Smedley digs into data security and the risks facing smaller companies that might not be able to afford cutting-edge defenses. Peggy also tackles the recently released Cisco Cybersecurity Report, DeOS attacks, and the Cyber Shield Act of 2017.

What are the hottest trends in the IoT going into 2018? Joe Barkai, consultant, author, and speaker, answers that question by giving Peggy Smedley a rundown of the upcoming year’s hot topics. Barkai also shares his insight on digital twins, which can be used to optimize the operation and maintenance of physical assets. He goes on to discuss why data security is going to be a priority and how current security concerns have led to manufacturer hesitation in the adoption of new tech. However, Barkai believes we will see an increase in IoT adoption by manufacturers moving into the future so long as these security concerns are addressed.

Predictive maintenance has the power to significantly increase up-time for companies as well as save in energy costs. These savings, combined with additional benefits, can cause 13% reductions in the overall budget. Despite all these benefits, Saar Yoskovitz, CEO and co-founder, Augury, says 88% of companies do not leverage predictive maintenance practices. Yoskovitz postulates that startup costs are a big turn off for most manufacturers and explains how his company is working toward cutting those costs so that more companies can adopt these best practices. He goes on to speak about the importance of data security when it comes to new technologies and why companies shouldn’t let their security concerns curb their implementation of new tech.

New Year. New format. Peggy Smedley rings in the New Year by updating listeners on what you can expect from The Peggy Smedley Show in 2018! Peggy delves into why cyber-security concerns have caused manufacturers to be reluctant to embrace the IoT (Internet of Things) in their facilities and on their jobs. Peggy outlines a few things these companies can do to curb their IoT fears and what they should keep an eye on when they start implementing new technologies.
