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

Axiomtek AIoT OEE SCADA Cloud Integration

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

OEE tracking with AIoT

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 .
