Moreover, new mode of information security of users enabled by blockchain and adoption of smart cards in populated countries of APAC act as growth opportunities for developers of smart card.
Newco’s Bistro Touch brewer now includes QR code technology to allow customers to easily choose a beverage and customize the size and strength of each drink from a Web app.
This new feature reduces the touchpoints helping to prevent the spread of germs. Newco will also have retrofit kits available for existing equipment in the market.
India’s IoT market is also poised to benefit from India’s growing potential as a global manufacturing hub as companies look to diversify their supply chains amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the past three years, a team of multidisciplinary experts of Chula Engineering has been working on installing sensor nodes, starting on the Chula campus, and expanding to cover the whole country.
Prof. Dr. Pisut Painmanakul, a lecturer of the Department of Environmental Engineering, Deputy Dean for Innovation Strategy for the Faculty of Engineering, and Head of the “Sensor for All” Project, revealed that the PM2.5 problem is mainly caused by human behavior and their lifestyle and daily routine.
From an environmental scientist’s view, the solution requires four elements: sufficient quantitative and qualitative databases, centralized data analysis and information dissemination by one agency, issuing of participatory policies, and participation of local communities in monitoring the situations.
Prof. Dr. Pisut said that the Sensor for All project, which started almost 10 years ago, stemmed from the air-quality sensor network innovation project — a collaboration among lecturers from Environmental Engineering, Survey Engineering, and Electrical Engineering departments. “We wanted our innovation to be used widely, and sustainably. Therefore, the Sensor for All project was born. In the first couple of years, the project focused on inviting participation from various agencies to create sustainability for Thai society.”
Initially, the Sensor for All project began with the development of PM2.5 sensors and installing them in the area around the Chula campus. The second year was dedicated to data transfer and display, as well as expanding the coverage to include all areas of Bangkok through collaboration with the National Housing Authority and True Corporation. Moreover, dissemination of information in the form of a booklet entitled “A Battle to Kill Dust” was published to educate young people. The third year of the project was launched last November with an installment of PM2.5 sensors at 1,000 locations throughout Thailand by Chula Engineering and project partners.
Increasing use of sensors in IoT applications due to cost and size reduction, and technological advancement, and Introduction of 3GPP Release 13 and Release 14 specifications are the key factors driving the growth of the IoT sensors market. The Growth of Internet penetration rate and High demand for connected and wearables devices are factors propelling the growth of the IoT sensors market.
The key factor fueling the growth of the industrial IoT segment of the IoT sensors market is the requirement to implement predictive maintenance techniques in different industries to monitor the working of industrial equipment to avoid unscheduled downtimes in production cycles. The intelligent wireless sensors constantly monitor parameters of critical processes in industrial environments, thereby leading to the increased operational efficiencies of industries.
Barcode is an automatic identification technology that finds applications in asset management, package tracking, time tracking, and so on. Barcode software solutions help in design and generation of barcodes, offer traceability feature, and read printed barcodes along with providing scanning abilities.
The need for accurate real-time data collection process; and increased use of barcode in logistic & transportation and healthcare sector are the key factors driving the barcode software market growth.
The barcode software market is segmented on the basis of application, vertical, and geography. Based on application, the market is segmented into asset management, package tracking, employee attendance and time tracking, and others. The asset tracking segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period; Based on vertical, the market is segmented into manufacturing, transportation and logistics, retail, healthcare, and others. The manufacturing segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2019, whereas the transportation and logistics segment is projected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.
