David is an Internet of Things (IoT) pioneer who has been working in the field for over 15 years. He is now the Principal Developer Advocate at Camunda. Previously, he was Head of Developer Relations at QuestDB and the Senior Developer Advocate at Influx Data. That’s 2 Time Series databases in a row. If you’re wondering how that’s related to IoT, read about Why an IoT does Time Series Data.

Automating Automation or Orchestrating IoT with BPMN
BPMN is often seen as boring ‘Business Speak’. In reality, it is just a way to automate things, and since it’s called the Internet of Things why not automate those things too! With an estimated 75% of IoT deployments failing to deliver on their promises (and 30% dying in the proof of concept phase) it’s clearly time to approach IoT deployments differently. It’s time to design, implement, build and deploy IoT projects from a business perspective rather than a technical standpoint.
In this talk I’ll go through a complete IoT solution in 3 iterations to show how Business Process Management platforms can quickly iterate on an IoT solution to deliver maximum benefit. Enough business-speak! I’m going to build a Skittles (candy) dispenser based on IoT and controlled by BPMN, with a little AI thrown in! I’ll run the entire demo live, so if the prospect of watching a demo fail in front of a live audience is what gets you excited, this talk is for you! It’s also for you if you’re struggling to build a business case for your IoT project.
