14 May 2020 Streamline Designs Featured in Indiana’s 2020 State of IoT Report

Published by the Indiana IoT Lab, Governor Holcomb’s introduction invites innovators, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs to “join the in discussion” about our connected world.   This year’s report included three themes: Design, Connect, and Deploy.

While the uses for aerial data collection devices that fly are innumerable and limited only by our collective imagination, the roadmap to that future is anything but automated.   Somewhat ironically, enabling flight in today’s ‘Sky of Things’ requires inherently human skills like navigational prowess, finesse, relational strength, and trust. Now is the time when we are prototyping and proving out what the best automation-integrated world will look like and how we will get there.
