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

OEE Data integration to local SCADA and Cloud The 10th session of the “Let’s Sembang AIoT” series commenced with a unique presentation by Mr. CC Lee. He discussed older processors with legacy, ranging from the 8088, 80286, 80386, 80486, and 80586 to the Pentium, all of which were prevalent from the early 1990s to the late 1990s. This era saw significant contributions from major players like Intel, AMD, and VIA.   During this period, substantial efforts were dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of computers and industrial PCs for automation purposes, often referred to as IPC-based automation. Notably, two devices, namely PCI (Programmable Communication Interface) and PPI (Programmable Peripheral Interface), played a pivotal role in establishing input and output peripherals for computers. The PPI was also utilized in certain IO blocks on the ISA BUS, conforming to the PC104 standards. This… Read More »Axiomtek AIoT OEE SCADA Cloud Integration

In this ” Let’s Sembang AIoT” live session, We shared the very practical and peace of mind technique that make up an  OEE ( Overall Equipment Effectiveness) Tracking system which is widely used in most of the manufacturing process. It is a cost-efficient yet easy-to-implement solution in making up the OEE Tracker. Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) is a commonly used metric in the manufacturing industry that assesses the effectiveness of a manufacturing process. OEE is a measure of how effectively a manufacturing operation is utilized, considering both the machine availability and the quality of the products it produces. We shared the two main parts that allow you to build up an OEE system, namely the stack light module and the Axiomtek IIoT edge gateway . These two components are the machine data collectors that acquired all necessary data to be used in… Read More »OEE tracking with AIoT

Machine building is not an easy job. we all know that. This applies to many customized machines that one may be working on where the requirement may change along the design and fabrication. At Axiomtek Malaysia, we position ourselves as an Automation Toolbox so, if you have something to add on. Please remember to ping us. We will definitely have a solution for you. To list some of the possibilities or possible needs, for example, you need to add on 2 temperature points with thermocouple measurement.  3 RTD temperature sensors to add on? or a strain gauge input where you need to test the strain of some material? Or, do you have an instrument that gives 4-20mA or voltage output? Above all are easily resolved with remote IO devices that you may be looking into. Very importantly these devices are… Read More »Add on Remote IO in machine automation

The Super compact Automation IPC from Axiomtek gives you peace of mind in your Fanless design. Fanless means no moving parts, most quiet, super compact, and more reliable. MTBF can be up to 50,000 hours. One of the key factors in Super compactness came from the distributed IO and motion devices are now possible with the EtherCAT IO and Motion. Automation IPC powered by the EtherCAT master not only gives you expandability but the real-time IO and control where all transactions can be done 1ms cycle. If only the Automation needed in your machine, then IPC950 will take this up easily. some features of IPC950 includes:- Intel® Core® i7/i5/i3 processor (Tiger Lake U), 15W Flexible I/O module for further expansion M.2 Key E socket for wireless connection 2 DisplayPort Supports TPM 2.0 Supports Intel® iAMT 1 PCIe x4 slot expansion… Read More »Super Compact Automation IPC
