In the time of social distancing and pandemic restrictions, technology has become more important than ever to maintain our working productivity and social bonds. In a virtual first, the annual AI+IoT Business Conference (ABC) hosted by the AI+IoT Intelligent Business Alliance will focus on the impact of IoT for the Southeast Asian region.
The first virtual Southeast Asia ABC kicked off today for a whole month, which brings together key major industry organizations including Tuya Smart, a leading global AIoT platform, and other leading partners such as the Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Singapore Industrial Automation Association, Asia Pacific Assistive Robotics Association, Asia IoT, GSMA, and famous brands in Southeast Asia to share cutting-edge insights on all things IoT-specific in Southeast Asia.
Themed on “Revive in Growth – Inspired by Intelligence”, the inaugural virtual AIBC aims to harness AIoT for transforming businesses in Southeast Asia, after the pandemic. The event consists of a series of fireside chats and TED-style talks by esteemed companies and innovators.
“This (pandemic) will be the start when young people begin to learn more about the smart home,” Mr. Ryan, CEO from Indonesian brand Bardi Smart Home commented. “And we can see the smart home market is growing rapidly here right now, which is a good sign.”
Mr. Vincent Chew, Group Managing Director of Pensonic, one of the leading electrical household appliances brand in Malaysia, said, “Along the way with wider coverage of internet and lower cost of devices, more homes will be connected where devices shall work around our movement and environment.”
Due to travel restrictions and home isolation because of the pandemic, the demand for various entertainment and interaction on the Internet has increased in Thailand, where Internet products have become quite popular. Xie Chongtong, President of Thailand’s home security and CCTV brand Watashi said, “IoT innovation is driven by increasing demands of connection scenarios, which will become more and more automated and intelligent.”
Hosted by AI+IoT Intelligent Business Alliance, the AI+IoT Business Conference has garnered over 200 leading companies, 400 opinion leaders, 100 renowned investors and 30,000 pioneers of intelligent business exchange knowledge and ideas. The 2020 AI+IoT Business Conference Online – Southeast Asia is the first of the regional event instead of global, and the first ever with focus in the SEA region. Slated to grow by 12% annually, the regional IoT market will be worth over 151 billion dollars by 2024 (Marketsandmarkets).
Jeff Immelt, Former Chairman and CEO of GE, Venture Partner of NEA, Chairman of Tuya US said, “the event is a major initiative that involves important key industry players, who will move forward the development of IoT, and shift the entire smart home landscape in Southeast Asia and give great momentum to its growth”.

Connectivity management enables data calls to be made to devices. Devices generate data, which is the fuel that powers the IoT, but the value of that data depends on what you do with it and that is determined by the application. Therefore while it is clearly important to develop the optimum applications for specific IoT solutions, that objective of the exercise should be clearly defined and the different ways that it could be realised have to be considered with equal care.

IoT analytics can be divided into two broad categories: device data analytics and network analytics. A further division can be made into descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics. These are generic terms that predate IoT, but they are just as relevant today. The early analysis of enterprise data, e.g. data generated by mainstream systems like CRM and ERP, was and still is done with a Business Intelligence platform. (more…)

Without managed connectivity there is no IoT. Without device management there is no business case. Layers one and two in the IoT stack are inexorably linked. Connectivity enables data calls to be made to the devices, in turn device performance needs to be managed in order to realise the requisite solution. This process involves authenticating, provisioning, configuring, monitoring and maintaining the functionality of diverse devices. Secure access is a key component, but it is normally provided as an integral part of an end-to-end solution. (more…)

Interoperability is coming: it’s only a question of when, not if. The IoT is predicated on the creation of a web of platforms that support smart environments in cities, manufacturing, health, energy and so on. Companies that want to work closely with their partners are creating smart ecosystems that comprise different platforms. Therefore an efficient, secure flow of information between platforms is required. It’s required for applications like the value chains of manufacturers and it becomes a critical issue when companies are acquired. Moreover a recent McKinsey report indicates that up to 40 percent of the value of the IoT can only be enabled with interoperability. (more…)

ARM, the British chip designer acquired by Softbank in September 2016 for $32 billion, recently acquired Stream Technologies for an undisclosed sum. Stream is a mobile virtual network, based in Glasgow, UK, that provides companies with a build once, deploy anywhere supply chain where any IoT device can be deployed, find a network, self-authenticate, automatically provision and connect to the lowest cost channel.
ARM is the industry’s leading supplier of microprocessor technology and the company’s marketing focuses on having its processor designs used in the expected hundreds of billions of future IoT devices. In order to realise that objective ARM was created and continuously developed Mbed technology as a way to support device creation and deployment. And in Q3 the company announced a new “device-to-data” IoT platform, known as ARM Pelion.
ARM acquired Stream in order to address connectivity management. Stream provides wireless connectivity across cellular, satellite, and low-power wide area networks. This enabled ARM Pelion to combine its own device management service, known as Mbed Cloud, with the connectivity management functionality of Stream Technologies. This combination provides a single pane of glass visibility of connectivity and device management across all devices regardless of location or network type. It gives organizations an end-to-end IoT platform for managing, connecting, provisioning and updating devices that is flexible and scalable.
This development was subsequently followed by the acquisition of Treasure Data, a company that marketed a cloud-based data management platform which enterprises use to unify data from different sources and provide a single, actionable view. Data management is needed to address the growing issues around IoT data volume, velocity and variety. Adding this capability to the Pelion IoT Platform will enable organizations to quickly, securely and sustainably create actionable insights from IoT, enterprise and third-party data.
