The greater the amount of high-quality data you have, the better your machine learning model will be. This post looks at the challenges (and solutions) involved in creating and organizing a dataset when you’re starting from scratch.
Switzerland experiences notable seasonal fluctuations with expected water demand on the rise. In this article, we look at how IoT systems can play a crucial role to ensure efficient conservation of water.
Based on the revised Food Sanitation Act, the institutionalization of hygiene management in accordance with HACCP started in Japan in June 2021. HACCP is an acronym for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.
In the evolving landscape of IoT, explore how microcontroller-based IoT development kits such as the Particle Photon 2 are driving innovation in product research and development.
As IoT evolves, projects are shifting from being experimental and exploratory to business critical. This makes them more complex, ensures they receive more scrutiny and, inevitably, increases the opportunities for things to go wrong. This is even more true when you consider that IoT devices and solutions have a long shelf life, making long-term success only possible if you’re properly planning and building today for the unknown factors in the future.
Ring topology is one of the early implementations in the world of computer networking. Its simplicity in transmission, fair access control for modes, sequential data management, and other concepts continue to influence the evolution and designs of modern computer science.
Choosing between computing on the cloud or on the edge is a decision that can impact things like your device’s cost or efficiency. Here’s how you can ensure you make the right decision early on in your product development roadmap.
Discover the intricacies of cybersecurity operations as we delve into the intricacies of Red Team vs. Blue Team, a comprehensive understanding of their roles, methodologies, and practical applications in the field of cybersecurity.
A guide to resources related to the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 Development Kit and Soracom connectivity to help you launch your Connect For Good Low Power Wireless Sustainability Challenge submission.
Mesh topology is the most used network topology, as all computer networks are connected. Each computer sends signals and relays the data from other computer networks. The dedicated link transmits information from one node to another and connects all the nodes.
Batteries are essential for billions of IoT products worldwide, and demand looks set to grow. The global Li-ion battery market was estimated to be worth over $40 billion in 2020 and is expected to increase to more than ten times this amount by 2030 according to analyst Statista.
Humans sharing a workspace and collaborating with robots has become a reality that companies and their smart factories just can’t do without, as it allows flexible manufacturing in variable batch sizes with maximum efficiency. In short, successful human-machine interaction is key for future-proof manufacturing.
