Introduction

While the Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks and from now on, it is going to be called a consumer Internet. The Internet of Things (IOT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, jet engines, drones,  home appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data.

 

While currently, there are about 5 billion computers connected to the Internet, in 2020 there will be over 50 billion things connected to IOT with revenue exceeding $17 trillion. The exchange of data between things will help to conduct analytics to automate supplies, predict downtime, adjust routes and tune machines for better performance and efficiency. There is an important subset of IOT which is called Industrial Internet of Things that focuses more on heavy industrial machines such as Power, Oil and Gas and others.

 

Several governments around the world strive to make their cities smart, including Australia, USA, Spain and UAE. The motivation to create a smart city is to make the city more livable with a high life quality. In smart city, you will have a lot of available services to save resources, energies, reduce traffic jams, easily find parking, monitor health, pollution and noise, pay bills and fines and much more. In order to make smart city, thousands of cameras and sensors need to be installed all around the city to monitor everything. With strong IT and digital infrastructure such as Internet of Things Technologies and WiFi, data will be sent to Cloud servers where Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence conduct thorough analysis, share data and make decisions to facilitate the life of residents and visitors at all levels. In addition to residents, the infrastructure will provide many services such as open data, platforms and applications to companies and organizations to facilitate their operations and businesses.

 

In this workshop, delegates will learn in detail about all the services IoT and Smart City may offer and all the digital infrastructure and platforms to be able to offer more services as needed. Case studies from UAE and other cities from the world will be explored and discussed.

 

Objectives

The Central Objectives of this programme are as follows:

  • Learn and understand the concept, benefits and impact on business, economy and social life.
  • Learn networking and programming of IOT as will be explained in addition to security and privacy.
  • Understand cloud based technologies that enable IOT.
  • Learn the relationship between IOT and other emerging technologies such as Data Analytics, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain.
  • Learn and understand real life applications and case studies of IOT from various industries such as supply chain, healthcare, aviation and others.
  • Understand the concept of smart cities and the impact on society, companies and organizations.
  • Explore the smart services, the smart city may offer to facilitate and improve the life quality of individuals.
  • Define all the required IT and digital infrastructure, a smart city may need in order to offer smart services.

Training Methodology

Designing Approach

Tailor-Made for Your Needs: Solid State Training Solutions works closely with every client as a long-term strategic partner. We conduct pre-training requirements process which includes collecting details of the registered delegates and conducting training needs analysis meetings to align the training solution with the client’s objectives.

 

Delivery Methodology

  • Simulation – providing life-like scenarios through structured learning experiences and to improve business awareness and management skills.
  • Role Play – acting-out situations in groups, under the supervision and feedback of a lead coach.
  • Presentations, Videos and Video Recording – visual materials to support presentations of theory.
  • Games – learning is fun with Solid State Training Solutions! Using a variety of tools and games to emphasize the learning experience.
  • Discussions – use two-way communication between the trainer and the trainees to increase learning opportunities.
  • Questionnaires – to gather information from the participants, attributed or anonymous, free-form questions and multiple-choice.

Case Study Analysis – a key tool for such workshops, either individuals or groups review the materials provided to understand a key message and then present their findings to the other participants.

Organizational Impact

The dynamic growth of the Internet of Things and Smart City create many engineering and scientific challenges that call for insightful research from both industry and academia, especially for the development of scalable, reliable, and efficient smart city based on IoT.

 

With the help of a smart city, there is an enormous opportunity to modify the lives of people and improve the city operations and infrastructure. Connected technologies, smart sensor networks, and the IoT are the crucial solutions for smart city implementation.

Personal Impact

The rapid and pervasive development of digital technologies, along with an understanding of circular economy principles, will drastically change life for the average urban citizen much sooner than we think. The circular economy is a concept by which materials and products are kept at their highest possible value at all times. Finite materials are not thrown into landfills and valuable assets from cars and office space to spare rooms and sporting equipment are not left idle. The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) will help this to become a reality. Sensors and smart phones will be able to track materials and assets, letting people know when they are not being used, about to break, or where they are. This will unlock huge amounts of spare capacity in the system, creating new business models that will drastically change the way the city functions. The digital circular city would not only save resources but would change the citizen’s experience for the better.
