In the year 2016 most of the industries find themselves standing on the brink of a technological revolution that is poised to fundamentally transform the way they do business. Perhaps nobody captured this trend better than Jeff Immelt (the CEO of General Electric) when he said ``If you went to bed last night as an industrial company, you're going to wake up in the morning as a software and analytics company''. With its focus on Agile software delivery, next generation PaaS platform and Big Data software offerings, Pivotal is uniquely positioned to help its clients accelerate their transition to a software-driven enterprise powered by data-driven applications. This talk will start with an overview of the modern IoT landscape and give a few examples of IoT related projects that Pivotal has done for its clients. It will then focus on software platforms and data models that Pivotal had to put in place to give customer ability of detecting and addressing hidden issues such as machine degradation, component wear, etc.
