Here's Cisco Live: Day 3, Part 2 Today Peter Granger had the pleasure of talking with Steve Matthews about Cisco's Industrial Workforce Enablement demo. Steve is a Cisco consulting engineer with expertise in Borderless Networks; he is based in Manchester, UK. In this video Steve is telling Peter about the demo that features real time data analysis and Cisco UC and networking technologies that enable real-time events to be captured and/or acted upon. We are using the application software to capture real time data from, in this case, a wind farm, and that data is both analyzed and stored and alerts are sent. The demonstration shows the integration between OSISoft (one of Cisco's Partners in the industrial telemetry and asset management field) integrated with Cisco cross-architectures: so we have Borderless networks, Data Center and Collaboration technologies. We also have an application called CEBT -- which is a workforce enablement application. The demo shows a Remote Control Room, a remote Field engineer, and the interaction between those places and the Network/Datacenter. The displays show OSISoft telemetry screens, and we're demonstrating workflow efficiencies to speed up actions onsite at the Engineers location. We trigger an event in the wind farm that causes an alert and activities to happen. The Cisco CEBT engine actually drives the activities. It's a business process management tool that allows us to integrate into common business logic (SAP, Oracle etc) and on the <b>...</b>

One thing we truly appreciate about Cisco Live UK is the global nature of our attendees. Not only do we get to see our eclectic, enthusiatic, and worldly customers, but also we get to see our Cisco counterparts from all over the globe. Take for example Ahmed Farrag. Ahmed is the Director of Business Development for Emerging Solutions Ecosystems, and he is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. We first met Ahmed at Cisco Live US last year. This year, he was very impressed with the customer presence from Emerging Markets, the Middle East, and EMEAR (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia): We can often forget how large and global Cisco really is. We have over 63000 employees in over 460 offices worldwide with a presence in over 165 countries. Considering that there are 196 countries in the world, the fact that we have a presence in over 84% of them is quite impressive! Also, the fact that we create and deliver the technologies and solutions that allow people and businesses to bridge those continental gaps makes it all the more exciting. blogs.cisco.com

So we've wrapped up another exciting day in London! Today we saw Padmasree Warrior's keynote address "Zero to Zetta," learned more about Cisco' World of Solutions, met a lot of great customers, and saw a lot of great demos! One of the demos we had on display today was our "Converged Industrial Wireless" demonstration. In the video below, you will see Mark Bakker, our Business Development Manager for Industrial Automation for Solutions Ecosystems, talk about his experience at Cisco Live UK. He also talks about all of Cisco's partnerships in Industrial Automation, including Honeywell, Rockwell, Panduit, and OSIsoft and our work with Secure Wireless Networking. If you speak Dutch, please send us a translation of what he says at the end! Also, the video shows a great walkthrough of the "Converged Industrial Wireless" demo by Cisco's Dave Bell and Honeywell's Tony Alexander. The great thing about these demos is that they are actual live demonstrations, and they work like they would in production. Tony shows how with these devices can be used to monitor process variables in real-time, just as they would be at a large oil refinery or platform. blogs.cisco.com

Day 2 at Cisco Live UK is rapidly underway! It has been quite an exciting day. Cisco's CTO Padmasree Warrior delivered her keynote speech, "Zero to Zetta," on the macro industry trends driving the industry today. She discussed many of today's hottest IT topics, from the relentless explosion of devices and content on the Internet, the rapid ascent of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), to the new models of consumption of cloud computing. Within this backdrop, she talked about Cisco's unique architectural approach to innovation and its focus on building the Intelligent Network to optimize the infrastructure in light of the changes facing the industry today. Our manufacturing industry demos have also received a lot of attention. In the above video, David Maez, Sr. Product Marketing Manager for Cisco Wireless, describes the "One Network" of Wireless Convergence while demonstrating Industrial Environment technologies such as 1550 Access Points, ISA100, Wifi and WirelessHART. blogs.cisco.com

At Cisco Live UK, we will have four areas of demonstrations, and we'll be telling you about all four over the next few days. In this video, Cisco's Dave Bell talks about Converged Plantwide Ethernet, which is built in conjunction with our partner Rockwell Automation. The demo also features Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol: Also, we'll be showing an Industrial-style cabinet with Industrial Switching housed with Panduit closet equipment. We'll be bringing viewers more demonstrations over the coming days featuring partners like Rockwell, Panduit, OSISoft and Honeywell. blogs.cisco.com
