Other innovations included connected elevators whose maintenance can be handled remotely thanks to the system developed by Huawei in collaboration with General Electric and Schindler; a Vodafone app developed with Hiruteknova, TST and Rodman for the remote control of the status and operation of boats; a platform designed by Everis to manage drones, associated with SAP; a system tested by IoTworks to monitor cold supply chain logistics; and a completely sensor-based industrial working environment to improve occupational safety, instigated by Wipro with the collaboration of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM and Aruba Networks. The list of projects on display is rounded off with a solution for smart irrigation control and the prevention of river pollution which is being presented by Schneider Electric and Sigfox; a demonstration of how to detect and prevent cyberattacks on an electrical substation, brought along by Kaspersky; and a standard for the control and interconnection of machinery and processes developed by Cisco in which another 17 companies have been involved.
In addition to its highly international character, one of the big differentiating factors of the event was the Testbeds area which proved extremely popular with visitors who were able to watch and experience the IoT in action. This years edition showcased eleven innovative projects developed by leading companies: a submersible robot by ABB for inspecting transformers full of oil on oil platforms; an Analog Devices solution for predicting frosts and saving harvests; and a predictive analysis system developed by PTC to eliminate downtime in factories, which also involved the collaboration of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, National Instruments, Osisoft and Flowserve.
