IoT was a major theme at SAP TechEd && d-code 2014 in Las Vegas. Here are replays of key sessions ICYMI.
Steve Lucas showed many real life examples of the Internet of things. The CTO of Flextronics joined Steve on stage to demonstrate smart gardening with sensors in plant that notify you when it needs to be watered. Steve also had Spyder cranes moving on stage that have embedded sensors on them. Using an anti-collision solution by SAP partner SK Solutions, these cranes are able to avoid collision and improve worker safety in construction zones. Finally, Steve showed a solution by HANA startup Early sense that uses data from sensors in hospital beds that measure patient vitals. Watch Replay

SAP InnoJam took place in Palo alto as a pre-conference activity. The theme for this years hackathon was: "IoT in Agriculture". The winners of the InnoJam from California California State University, Chico who built a Drone-Based Weed Control solutionbased on the premise that weeds consume water that is intended to go to the crops. Using a HANA database populated with weed types (per region) to identify the weed via an infrared sensor, weed control solution is dispensed directly onto the weed based on type, size and strength of solution needed.
Liveaction on the showfloor included a hacker space where developers hung out to built IoT prototypes from scratch. Watch this video to see what IoT experts did with toy cranes, drones and pumps. Watch video
