JOM! Lets Sembang AIoT episod 29 During the live session of Sembang AIoT 29, we discussed the application of Digital IO in Industrial IoT and presented power-saving solutions for remote data collection using cloud-based 4G routers.Digital IO systems represent a fundamental requirement in virtually all industrial IoT applications. Whether you need to monitor switch status, equipment status, count occurrences, measure frequencies, or control lighting, Digital Input and Output play a crucial role. There are two primary categories of Digital Inputs:TTL Input (0-5VDC):TTL inputs are typically non-isolated and are suitable for internal detection systems where external interference is not a concern.Isolated Digital Input (Wider Voltage Input):Isolated inputs are predominantly used in industrial systems where isolating the connected equipment is essential to ensure resistance to external surges or signal noise. In an IoT system, Digital Outputs are similar to Digital Inputs but can be categorized into three types:TTL Output (0-5VDC)Isolated OutputRelay Output (Isolated Electromechanical Outputs) Axiomtek IIoT edge gateway provides a 8 GPIO ( General Purpose IO)...

Sembang AIoT -IIoT and ESG We have just come back from the Malaysia IoT association event on the empowering ESG with IoT.  There is an open discussion in the event with the panelists like Dr. Ong Kian Ming, the ex Deputy Minister of international of trade,  Mr. Steven Lim the president of ESG Malaysia and others.  It was an informative session where ESG was touched at at a deeper level for the industries and how IoT can played the role in providing data that contribute to the framework of compliance of ESG for the companies.ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, and it refers to a set of criteria used to evaluate a company's performance in these three key areas. ESG has become an important framework for investors, businesses, and other stakeholders interested in assessing the sustainability and ethical impact of an organization.1. Environmental (E): This aspect assesses a company's impact on the environment and how it manages environmental risks....

Synergizing Vision AI and Built-in AMR for Enhanced Capabilities

by editor Comment Closed
The Sembang AIoT Live Team members Transforming the "Sembang AIoT" Live sessions into a weekly occurrence is a challenging endeavor. In addition to our daily responsibilities, extensive preparations are undertaken behind the scenes, particularly for live demonstrations. Nevertheless, we commend the team for successfully orchestrating the 26th live session once again this Friday evening. Our heartfelt gratitude extends to everyone involved, with a special appreciation for our dedicated audience. We sincerely hope that the live sessions prove both beneficial and enjoyable for our viewers. Demonstration on the AMR continued with some limitation especially on the battery power.  It is a entry level of prototyping of AMR but it is powered by the lower powered high performance Axiomtek embedded board and later on the ruggesdized Axiomtek AMR controller.  Discover the Potential of AIoT as interpreted by the AI engine operating on the AMR controller. Please note that it is built on the ROS2 platform and utilizes the Intel 11th Gen Axiomtek CAPA55R core i5...

JOM! Lets Sembang AIoT! #25 Brought to you by Aiotmission We innovate . We Apply . We TrainAutonomous Mobile Robots?  Yes ! We were sharing the components that we used in the building of Autonomous Mobile Robots(AMR). The Autonomous Mobile Robot plays a crucial role in the Industry 4.0 process. In this Sembang AIoT live session, we discuss and showcase the construction of an AMR with a simplified open-frame structure, focusing on highlighting the significance of the engine, which can be constructed using Axiomtek's latest industrial low-power embedded PC. The AMR Building Support Package serves as a valuable guide for constructing industrial AMRs for various industrial applications.  This lab iteration of the Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) has been developed by Scuttle Robot, a partner of Axiomtek Malaysia, utilizing ROS2 (Robotics OS 2). It serves as a Kickstarter package for those interested in initiating ROS2 AMR development on an Intel-based platform. The AMR features the Axiomtek CAPA55R board, incorporating 11th-generation Intel processors, a solid-state disk,...

AIoT Non-intrusive Connect

by editor Comment Closed
Non-intrusive data extraction with AIoT Non-intrusive data extraction refers to a method of collecting information from a system or process without physically disrupting or altering the operation of that system. In the context of industrial processes, such as manufacturing or automation, data extraction is essential for monitoring and optimizing performance. Traditional methods of data extraction often involve intrusive measures, such as installing additional sensors or modules with wiring, which can be time-consuming and may interrupt the normal functioning of the system. In the non-intrusive approach, the data is collected without the need for physical interference or modifications to the existing infrastructure. Instead, visual data or images from the system's indicators or displays are used. These visual inputs are then processed using artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies to extract relevant information. This method eliminates the need for additional cabling, termination, or the installation of extra sensors. Non-intrusive data extraction is often considered more cost-effective and efficient compared to intrusive methods, as it minimizes...
