We managed to insert a short Demonstration on the computer vision AI on the work space Safety where the AI was used in checking the compliance like  the wearing of Helmet, Vest and etc.  The workspace AI was running in one of the Axiomtek AI edge / IPC. … Read More »IIoT sensor to Cloud & Computer vision AI for workspace safety

IIoT sensors to Cloud and smart Data to AI

There are many processes in manufacturing that require heating, for heating, we couldn’t run away from measuring the temperature. Heating processes that do forging on the metal, welding, boiling, pasteurizing, Drying and many other processes require a precise temperature to ensure good product quality. What are the main sensors for measuring temperature? and What are the IIoT device that allows us to digitize the reading for monitoring and control and also provide a good visualization with good data analytics at the cloud level? these are the main subjects we were discussing in this ” Sembang AioT session”. There are three types of temperature sensors that are widely used in industries. 1. Thermocouples (TCs): Working Principle: Based on the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is produced when two different metals are joined together and the junction is heated. Application: Used in… Read More »IIoT sensors to Cloud and smart Data to AI

AIoT in smart manufacturing for SME

This session of live sharing falls on the 1 day before Malaysia Day. We took this opportunity to wish all Happy Malaysia Day while discussing the application of AI and IoT in smart manufacturing. One of the biggest challenges for SMEs is the investment in the technology in their operation especially in the building of IR4.0 processes.  Based on the recently published news in the MIDA website, the closing date of the Industry4WRD Intervention fund application will be closed on the same day today on 15th of Sept 2023. This is actually a very good funding for SME amounting up to RM 500,000.00 where it is based on 70/30, where the government is taking up 70% of the whole funding.  In the sharing, we also touched on something where most SMEs is most concerned with the productivity and efficiency of… Read More »AIoT in smart manufacturing for SME

The Transformative Influence of 1G to 5G Evolution on Industrial IoT

The evolution of mobile networks from 1G to 5G has brought transformative changes to the Internet of Things (IoT) applications in various industries. Each generation brought with it improved speed, reliability, efficiency, and features that greatly influenced the capabilities and spread of IoT devices. Here’s a breakdown of how each generation impacted IoT applications: 1G (1st Generation) Overview: 1G mobile networks introduced the world to cellular communication with analog voice. IoT Impact: There wasn’t any direct impact on IoT since 1G was primarily voice-centric. However, it set the foundation for mobile communication which would be pivotal for IoT’s evolution. 2G (2nd Generation) Overview: 2G introduced digital communication, leading to services like SMS and MMS. GSM, its most popular standard, had limited data service like GPRS and EDGE. IoT Impact: 2G marked the beginning of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, allowing devices to… Read More »The Transformative Influence of 1G to 5G Evolution on Industrial IoT
