Big data, smart cities and you!

You are probably reading this on your laptop, mobile or tablet. Even if you don’t keep all three, there is at least one device per person in your home which is connected to the internet. Now add to this the number of devices that are connected to the internet at your workplace. Add to this the number of devices connected to social media, each one sharing a ‘moments’ per second. The result is a massive number, isn’t it? And we haven’t even added to it the smart home gadgets, industrial gadgets, digital transport systems, digital payment systems and other plethora of digital devices that make our life easy.

As per a report by Statista, the total amount of data created, captured, copied, and consumed globally is expected to grow to180 zettabytes by 2025. To put that in context, 1 zettabyte is equal to 1 billion terabytes. A lot of this data is created by mobile and IoT devices which also needs to be processed to improve response times and save bandwidth. This is where Taiwan’s performance enhancing innovative tech comes into the picture. Taiwan’s strong industrial chain and technological edge and integrated manufacturing capabilities in sensors and IoT terminals gives Taiwan a global advantage in IoT industry development.

Ensuring that the world can enjoy the fruits of innovative Taiwanese technology, Taiwan Excellence was set up by the world Ministry of Economic Affairs in 1993. Their sole purpose is to select examples from the domestic industries and promote them with the help of the government in international markets in order to shape the creative image for Taiwanese businesses. One brand that is reaching new heights in the fields of IoT intelligent systems and embedded platforms is Advantech. With solutions like Compact High Performance Edge Intelligence System, EI-52, the brand is helping retail, restaurant, transportation, and smart building industries to quickly and with minimal effort accelerate the deployment of Touchless AI Smart Access Control System.

EI-52 is a compact, high- performance fanless system that leverages 11th Gen Intel® Core i5/i3/Celeron processor, comes with ready-to-use system design, edge-to-cloud interconnection and is a 5G x AI platform ready solution. It comprises a hardware and software integrated package with EdgeX Foundry IoT plug-and-play open software framework and Advantech's WISE-DeviceOn IoT edge intelligence software.

It is devices like this that enable Advantech to create an intelligent planet. Keeping up with the trends of IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence, Advantech promotes IoT hardware and software solutions with the Edge Intelligence WISE-PaaS core to assist business partners and clients in connecting their industrial chains. The brand is also working with its partners to co-create business ecosystems that accelerate the goal of industrial intelligence.

Traditionally, big data including online shopping records, social media contents, and business informatics, were mainly born and stored at mega-scale data centers. The emergence of mobile computing and IoT means that large numbers of sensors and smart devices generate massive amounts of data. This means that higher and stronger computing power is driving the core of computations and services from the cloud to the edge of the network. Over 50 billion IoT devices are connected to the Internet, and the IDC forecasts that, by 2025, 80 billion IoT devices and sensors will be online.

With big data being a key driver, how are you ensuring that your products easily meet the smart city demands of the future?
