## Summary

Jordan Appleson, Founder and CEO of Hark, discusses the company's evolution from building proprietary hardware for life sciences to providing a cloud-based IIoT platform that integrates with existing industrial sensors and building management systems. He highlights key use cases in supermarkets and pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the importance of partnerships with major tech firms like Intel, Dell, and Microsoft to bridge the gap between legacy hardware protocols and modern cloud analytics. Appleson advises companies to start with small pilots to demonstrate ROI and warns against overlooking the physical challenges of deploying hardware at scale, such as installer tooling and ease of installation.
