The concept of “digital transformation” sounds both intimidating and expensive for most organizations. Replacing legacy system hardware and software to achieve a modernization utopia, while a lofty goal, is unrealistic for most companies. Using Machine Learning and modern IoT, we can modernize by tracking and reporting on existing systems in previously unheard of ways.

Key sections:

• What is TinyML and Edge Impulse
• What is Blues Wireless and the Notecard (With Demos)
• Thermal Image Anomaly Detection Project
• Analog Gauge ML Project

We specifically dive into challenges and solutions for adding wireless connectivity — often a wildcard for remote deployments. Between cellular, LoRaWAN, and Wi-Fi there are a myriad options and potential pitfalls: physical enclosures, geographic locations, and device portability needs.

You’ll walk away with real-world advice for building your next IoT device thanks to the real world experience of Clean Earth Rovers and LimnoTech!

Datacake and Blues Wireless team members showcase an end-to-end technical demonstration of actively tracking assets with GPS and cellular, securely delivering tracking data to the cloud, and building a robust cloud-based reporting application.

Key sections:

• Introduction to Blues Wireless, the Notecard, and Datacake
• Configuring a standalone tracker
• Routing tracker events to a cloud dashboard built with drag-and-drop tools.

As the IoT has matured into an established industry of its own, asset tracking has emerged as one of its most useful and pragmatic use cases. Whether it’s as simple as tracking a cross-country road trip or as complex as monitoring global medical supply shipments, implementing an accurate, low-power asset tracking system is a critical component of success. In this webinar, we discuss “Mastering Global Asset Tracking with a Cellular Notecard and Datacake.”

Are you new to wireless IoT? Are you curious about how low-cost cellular can improve your IoT deployments? Do you just want to learn more about Ray Ozzie and this “Blues Wireless” thing? Join us to learn the basics of Blues Wireless and the Notecard! 

Key sections:

1. An overview of Blues Wireless and the cellular + GPS-enabled Notecard.
2. A demo of getting started with the Notecard on a Raspberry Pi or Adafruit Feather ESP32.
3. An open “office hours” Q&A session where we will answer any and every question you have.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about three innovations designed to speed up IoT device development. Building an IoT product requires skills across a wide range of disciplines. Get it right, and you launch a successful product. Get it wrong, and you’ll be dealing with cost overruns, faulty product, poor product market fit, and a host of other unpleasant issues. We’ll explain how you can get your IoT product to pilot phase much faster and cheaper than your competitors.

Key sections:

• When to use advanced materials for 3D printing
• How to securely transport data with a System-on-Module
• How to gain control of project budgets
• How to minimize physical device construction risk

In this webinar, IoT experts from Blues Wireless and Ubidots guide developers through a typical journey from device to cloud. Using the snap-in cellular capabilities of the Blues Wireless Notecard and the data visualization platform provided by Ubidots, building an IoT device with advanced features and capabilities can be done in less than a day.

Key sections:

• Blues Wireless Overview
• Blues Wireless Notecard Quickstart
• Routing Notecard Data to Ubidots
• Ubidots Dashboard

Today you can build custom ML models that are optimized to run on low-power microcontrollers or single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. Plus, if you use a low-power cellular module like the Blues Wireless Notecard, you can securely route ML-derived inferences to your cloud of choice!
