It will begin with an overview of recent IoT research conducted by the DistriNet research group of KU Leuven and the reason we took the plunge to incorporate an IoT spin-off company -” VersaSense. The presentation will then discuss our experiences -” good and bad -” of deploying contemporary IoT technologies in industrial scenarios, with a focus on the gap that exists between contemporary academic research and the industrial IoT. The talk will be illustrated with a number of demonstrations and examples drawn from running real-world systems.
