Invite to learn about the Internet of Things
in Argyll looking to boost their competitiveness are invited to learn about the Internet of Things (IoT).
Internet of Things technology enables devices, such as everyday objects, machinery and systems to connect to the internet. The data gathered from their use can be used to develop new processes and plan future operations more efficiently.
A demonstration on the subject, cancelled in March as part of the COVID-19 lockdown, has been resurrected as a virtual online demonstration. It will take place on Wednesday June 3 between 1pm and 3pm.
It is being organised by Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) in partnership with CENSIS, Scotland’s innovation centre for sensors and imaging systems.
Attendees will hear from industry experts, network providers and businesses already using IoT as part of everyday business and operations.
The event will be introduced by Paul Winstanley, chief executive of CENSIS, followed by a virtual demonstration and network overview by Sue Kee of Boston Networks, Networks, M2M Cloud, NHS Highland and NHS Western Isles.
A session on IoT in remote and rural healthcare, will include a virtual demonstration of IoT2Go from Jim Cockram of CENSIS and a presentation from Jon Harris of NHS Western Isles.
The Scottish Government will facilitate a 40-minute question and answer session at the end, with support from HIE.
John Mackenzie, senior development manager with HIE, said: ‘The use of Internet of Things technology is growing all the time in industry, as more and more firms discover the business benefits it can bring.
‘This event is about helping businesses to explore how they might use the technology to become more productive, efficient and competitive.’
More information about registering for the webinar is available on the HIE website.
