Very offers end-to-end IoT development that helps Enterprise/Industrial and Consumer brands bring IoT solutions to life.

In this podcast interview, Mark Thirman, MIT Enterprise Forum Cambridge's Connected Things 2020 Conference chair chats will Bill Brock, VP of Engineering at Very about trends he's observed from use cases in real-life IoT deployments that combine three or four of their custom pillars: software, hardware, data science, and design.

Bill and his team have observed that in Industrial applications, the high impact engagements they have are where an established industry player, like a manufacturer of manufacturing equipment, wants to innovate in order to offer their customers insights into machine health, anomaly detection, preventative maintenance; essentially aggregate performance metrics for how well their machine is performing in their factory.

On the Consumer IoT side, Bill mentions that building the entire system is a big investment and it can be risky, especially for a new entrepreneur. The best engagements on that end are where they have a customer that is “rock solid” on the hardware side.
“The idea of ‘isn’t there an app for that?’ gets very different when it’s ‘isn’t there an app for that?’ and there is a connected piece to it.”
We are grateful for Very’s sponsorship of Connected Things 2 years running and we are excited to see them again on March 23!
