What this episode covers

Chris Desnoyers, Director of Business Development at Amotus, discusses the build vs. buy dilemma in IoT, emphasizing that companies should focus on their core business and partner for non-core technologies like connectivity and cloud infrastructure. He shares cautionary tales of companies failing by reinventing the wheel, such as building custom microservices or on-premise cloud infrastructure, and highlights the importance of using proven frameworks to reduce maintenance burdens. Desnoyers also recounts a unique case where Amotus telematics data helped law enforcement solve a murder, illustrating the real-world impact of IoT deployments, while warning about future risks like security vulnerabilities and provider dependency.

    IoT Strategy: Firing Bullets Instead of Cannonballs

    Craig Salvalaggio, COO of Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT), discusses the company's 18-year evolution from traditional industrial robotics to a connected IoT strategy. He explains how AMT shifted from building custom, isolated systems to leveraging partnerships with companies like Soft Robotics Inc. for vision and grasping technologies. Salvalaggio advises non-IoT companies to start with small, self-serving pilots ('firing bullets') rather than large, undefined platform investments to validate value and educate customers.

    #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.

    #017 - How *not* to think about IoT, with Michael Vladimer of Orange IoT Studio, USA

    Michael Vladimer, co-founder of Orange IoT Studio, outlines a framework for building successful IoT products, arguing that they must solve compelling problems rather than just connecting everything. He defines the core MVP of an IoT device as consisting of sensors, connectivity, computation, and user interface, while warning against expecting users to invest smartphone-level effort into these devices. Vladimer also discusses the nuances of IoT security, advocating for context-specific standards based on data sensitivity, and shares insights on cross-cultural communication and storytelling in product development.
