We talk IoT – The Internet of Things Business Podcast

Airports run on machines many passengers don’t even notice. Tugs, loaders, de-icing truck, hundreds of vehicles are moving across the tarmac every hour. If only one gets it wrong, the cost is not just downtime, it’s safety.

Matthias Moulinier, VP of Product and Customer Success at Adveez, explains how connected ground support equipment (GSE) is changing life on the ramp. He walks us through the system that tracks who dr...

Harvesters, buses and mining machines are becoming rolling computers. The hardware inside them has to last decades. Yet the AI running on top of it changes every quarter.

Ralf Kapahnke from Tria Technologies and Frank Neelen from Avnet Silica discuss where the CAV CAV (Commercial and Agricultural Vehicles) market is heading. Cameras that spot-treat pesticide or milking robots that turn farmers into a roboticists, are just two use c...

AI data centres have a problem that no one talks about enough. When GPUs synchronise and fire together, power demand spikes exponentially, in milliseconds. Legacy backup systems were never built for this. Oversizing the grid is expensive. Throttling GPU utilisation wastes the very infrastructure operators are paying for.

Ramesh Narasimhan, EVP, CCO and CFO at Nyobolt, explains how the Cambridge deep-tech startup evolved from a univ...

Smart farming has been a promise for decades. GPS guidance, variable-rate application, autonomous tractors, the technology has been on the horizon for so long that it is easy to miss how much of it has already arrived.

In this episode, Andreas Gatti, manager digital products & FendtOne at AGCO Fendt, takes us through what precision agriculture actually delivers today,  and where the hard problems still remain.

Andreas expl...

Around 50% of medications are not taken on time. In ageing societies, the consequences range from hospital readmissions to preventable deaths. The costs run into millions of euros every year.

In this episode, Daniel Böber, hardware developer at wirewire, explains how his three-person team tackled this problem with the ANABOX smart. A connected pill dispenser that runs on NB-IoT, requires no Wi-Fi, and is already deployed in nursing...

Most people think they know Windows. Industrial OEMs know better.

In this episode, Yann Stridde, Senior Business Development Manager for Microsoft Windows IoT at Avnet Silica, explains why the operating system running a factory robot, a crane in Dubai, or a medical imaging device is fundamentally different from the one on your office PC – and why that difference matters more than ever.

Windows IoT Enterprise is not a new prod...

Edge AI promised intelligence everywhere. The reality? Most projects die between proof of concept and production. In this episode, Amir Sherman from DeepX and Michaël Uyttersprot from Avnet Silica reveal why moving AI from comfortable development kits to demanding industrial environments isn't just difficult. It's a maze of incompatible metrics, hidden power costs, and integration nightmares that catch companies off guard.

We discu...

Industry 4.0 promises data-driven manufacturing. Reality delivers machines from the 1990s, mixed protocols, and no budget to replace everything. The gap between digital ambition and brownfield constraints, the challenge of retrofitting IoT into existing facilities with legacy equipment, stops most factories before they start.

In this episode, Armin Vogelsang from WERMA explains how WeAssist bridges that gap by turning signal towers...

The semiconductor industry has a pipeline problem. Women enter the field, but somewhere between mid-management and the executive level, they disappear. Emily Yang knows this from experience, and she’s doing something about it.

In an industry where innovation is currency, Emily Yang has built a career on the belief that the best way to succeed is to lift others up. As Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at D...

Two billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Traditional pH monitoring relies on slow, manual lab testing – often too late to prevent contamination. In this episode, Fabrizio Librizzi, Senior Product Marketing Manager at NXP Semiconductors, explains how edge AI and analogue front-end technology are transforming water quality monitoring.

Fabrizio discusses how NXP’s AI-assisted pH sensors provide real...

The EU Cybersecurity Resilience Act is keeping OEMs awake at night. How do you use free and open-source software whilst complying with new obligations around vulnerability management, supply chain transparency, and continuous support?

In this episode, Pierre Gal (Head of Product) from Witekio and Michael Röder (Senior Manager, Software and Services EMEA) from Avnet Silica tackle the urgent questions facing manufacturers: Who counts...

In this episode, we explore how an Emmy Award-winning video codec is transforming industries far beyond the silver screen.

Dr. Siegfried Fößel from Fraunhofer IIS explains how JPEG XS – a compression standard designed for broadcast production – now enables breakthrough applications in autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and remote healthcare.

With a latency of just 32 lines end-to-end and visual lossless quality...

Artificial intelligence is moving to the edge - and it's changing how factories operate, farms grow crops, and robots navigate the world.

In this episode, Monica Houston from Tria Technologies walks us through Tria's Vision AI Kit 6490, an industrial-grade edge computing board that processes five camera feeds simultaneously, runs inference locally, and handles demanding tasks like image segmentation - all without needing cloud conn...

In this episode, we explore how accessible AI vision technology has become - and the surprising challenges that come with it.

Luke Walsh from Brainboxes built an AI rock, paper, scissors game using open-source software and hardware costing under £1,000. The playful demo masks serious industrial applications: from catching defects in car seat stitching with 22 cameras to monitoring hazardous environments without putting maintenance ...

In this episode, we explore how engineers are embedding powerful AI directly into hardware – no cloud connection required.

Michaël Uyttersprot from Avnet Silica and Cedric Vincent from Tria Technologies reveal how they run ChatGPT-quality language models on resource-constrained embedded devices. What once demanded data centre infrastructure now fits onto chips with just 2GB of RAM.

The conversation covers the technical challe...

In this episode, we explore a hidden crisis affecting thousands of buildings worldwide with Martin Mentzel, CEO of the German company Safesquare.

For thirty years, Local Operating Network (LON) technology has quietly powered building automation systems in hospitals, office buildings, and transport infrastructure. Now, critical components face end-of-life as manufacturers discontinue essential neuron chips, leaving companies scrambl...

In this episode, we explore the remarkable growth of LoRaWAN with Alper Yegin, CEO of the LoRa Alliance. This non-profit consortium has spent a decade building the world's most successful long-range, low-power network standard outside China.
