ThingWorx LiveWorx PTC - IoT Hackathon, Conference and Bootcamp.

Has been a busy IoT week. Participated in the ThingWorx LiveWorx Hackathon last weekend. Our team (Drip IR) went with the Smart Agriculture track - Freight Farm Modbus interface and FLIR camera via Intel Edison to ThingWorx Mashup. Many thanks to the Thingworx hackathon logistics team - Kevin, Sara and everyone.

Liveworx was great. Appreciated the focus on analytics and end business value. Ideas about digital avatars were great for PLM/SLM. The overall vibe of innovation was irresistible.

Great talks by Heppelmann, Fadel and others.

Great reminiscence talk by Steve Wozniak, and then judging of hackathon. Congratulations to winners: Third - Awesome, Second - Rocket Farms, and First for Accessibility - Smart Signs.

LiveWorx Expo hall had many great companies joining the IoT movement.

Only regrets were things I did not have time for - like the IoT Bootcamp. Trying to absorb the Thingworx IoT ethos and technicals as much as possible.
