IoT For All Podcast · 12 May 2020 · 39m

What this episode covers

Chris Howard, Founder and CEO of Softeq, discusses why 75% of IoT deployments fail, citing poor planning, lack of technical knowledge among decision-makers, and insufficient budgeting for security and QA. He emphasizes the importance of a phased approach, starting with discovery and proof-of-concept phases to validate assumptions before scaling. Howard shares examples of successful projects, including a connected dog collar for a startup and a smart crib for Happiest Baby, illustrating how Softeq supports both early-stage innovation and enterprise embedded development.

    #014: Why Your IoT Project Still Hasn’t Taken Off — And How to Fix It

    Chris Coleman and Tyler from Memfault host Afzal Saleem, an IoT entrepreneur and former T-Mobile Netherlands startup lead, to discuss why IoT projects stall despite technical viability. They analyze organizational resistance, such as the Dutch railway case where internal job security fears blocked adoption, and the '500K SIM card' phenomenon where pilots fail to scale due to slow enterprise processes. The conversation highlights how giants like Google, Ericsson, and Cisco waste millions by skipping niche validation, contrasting this with successful niche strategies from companies like Golioth and Nordic Semiconductor. They argue that IoT must learn from AI's community-driven, fast-iteration go-to-market playbook to overcome fragmentation and e-waste risks from deprecated cloud services.

    128: Creating an App for Your Hardware Device

    Piotr Zajac, CEO of Untitled Kingdom, a 55-person app development firm specializing in IoT, MedTech, and FemTech, explains how to build successful apps for hardware devices. He argues that developers must focus on one or two core features and prioritize user feedback to avoid over-engineering, citing a failed project where a client spent millions on unnecessary features. Zajac emphasizes that onboarding is crucial for creating user habits and that high-quality, secure software aligned with FDA and ISO standards is far cheaper in the long run than cheap, buggy code. He illustrates these points with the Irgo hearing aid and its Soundmatch app, which uses ultrasound to personalize hearing profiles.

    13 Reasons Why New Hardware Products Fail

    Host John Teal outlines 13 common reasons why new hardware products fail, categorized into technical, financial, and sales/marketing challenges. He emphasizes critical pitfalls such as underestimating development time, neglecting design for manufacturing (DFM), and running out of cash flow due to inventory costs. Teal also highlights the importance of validating customer demand early through crowdfunding and building an audience before launch.

    Proof of Value (PoV) with Paul Glynn, CEO of Davra

    Paul Glynn, CEO of Davra, argues that most IoT projects fail because they focus on technical proof of concept rather than 'proof of value,' emphasizing that business outcomes matter more than connectivity. He illustrates this with a case study of an automotive client where predictive maintenance models were integrated into Cisco WebEx to ensure operational accountability and reduce downtime. Glynn also contrasts the historical struggles of Commodore and BlackBerry with modern IoT, noting that technology is rarely the barrier, but rather the translation of data into actionable business intelligence. He highlights partners like Onset Computing for reliable sensors and predicts that video analytics will become the dominant form of IoT data collection.
