The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) recently announced a Deep Learning Facilities testbed, set up by Dell, Toshiba, and Wipro, which will look to find the value of using deep learning technologies in buildings and facilities management, as well as energy and utilities. The IIC, not a standards group itself, is looking to prove use cases, and bring a better focus on technologies that are needed in the Industrial IoT. In a catch-up call following MWC, we learned that this project has already kitted out a Toshiba building in Japan with 35,000 sensors, generating data that can be used to prove the viability of the testbed technologies. The goal here is to take the known benefits of AI and ML in…
