Plasma and Texas Instruments announce partnership where Texas Instruments will offer its customers Plasma’s C2M™, a platform that enables rapid connection of IoT devices, sensors, databases and other sources of data such as social media.

We started the discussion exploring the possible timeline of adoption of some IoT technology. The example was Oral Roberts University’s mandate that incoming freshmen wear and sync FitBit data. The discussion highlighted the short time frame between FitBit’s relatively recent strong market position and the mandate.

The keynote speaker was Kelson Elam of Genesta. Kelson discussed approaches to deployment and use of sensors, IoT, and data in the supply chain. He sprinkled in use cases and demonstrations throughout the talk.

One attendee commented on the presentation’s focus on both technology and its return on investment.
