ShowMiAssets

What we’ve built:

An Asset Tagging & Management Platform to provide ambient intelligence to dumb assets

Why we built this:

• 4.8 Billion Reasons
• Market: 4.8 billion by 2020 for existing enterprise asset management (EAM). A further $10-15B when you look at adding in sensor logic.
• Asset Management is closed. Very little data is shared. Extremely poor integration and interoperation due to plethora of proprietary systems. Tools are not user friendly.
• TM Forums mission is about increasing transparency between systems. This is a step in that direction.

We’re really interested in the world of asset management --> when you think of the sheer amount of stuff we have around us, being able to track what’s happening for all of these things would be amazing --> I mean just think of the insights that could be generated from that kind of data

How we built it

Using the following APIs and technologies:

• TMForrum: ProductInventory
• TMForrum: TroubleTicket
• Ericsson: Wrapper
• IBM: Node-Red
• BC Data: Geocode
• IBM Watson: Photo recognition

Challenges we ran into

• As a team with no backend expertise whatsoever, we struggled with a number of the backend APIs
• Took us a while to figure out how to properly train Watson to recognize specific images

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Successfully building a backend that works!!! (Way to go Konstantine, you're a backend engineer now! ;P)

What we learned

• Simple at front is complex at the back. Creating an end to end service mission, business plan. Enterprise isn't a sexy market, but it has a huge number of problems that startups are well placed to address
