Implementing an IoT system for efficient bird's nest harvesting involves several key steps, including installing appropriate sensors, data processing, and alerting mechanisms. Here's a more technical walkthrough: 1. Sensor Installation: The first step is identifying and installing appropriate IoT sensors in the swiftlet habitats. These could include: Image sensors: These can be installed to monitor the nest development process visually. Modern image sensors equipped with AI capabilities can analyze the images in real time to determine the state of the nests. Thermal sensors: Thermal sensors can be used to monitor the heat signature of the nests, which might change as the nests mature and as eggs are laid and incubated. Acoustic sensors: Swiftlets use echolocation, and their sounds can provide information about their behavior and, potentially, the state of the nests. Acoustic sensors can be installed to monitor these sounds. 2. Connectivity: Sensors need to be connected to an IoT network to transmit the data they collect. This could be done using wireless protocols like Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, or cellular networks, depending on the location and scale of the swiftlet habitats. 3. Data Processing and Analysis: The data collected by the sensors would be transmitted to a central server or cloud platform for processing and analysis. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms can be developed and trained to interpret the sensor data and determine the maturity of the nests. This might involve: Image processing algorithms to analyze images or video footage from the nests Sound processing algorithms to analyze the acoustic data Data analysis to identify patterns or changes in thermal data 4. Alert Mechanism: An alert can be triggered once the ML algorithms determine that a nest is ready to be harvested. This could be an email, SMS, or push notification sent to the relevant personnel. The alert should provide information on the nest's location and potentially any other relevant data. 5. User Interface: A user-friendly dashboard could be developed to visualize the nests' data and the alerts' status. This can provide an easy way for staff to monitor the system and check the progress of the nests. Remember, the system should be designed carefully considering the swiftlets' well-being. Sensors and other equipment should be installed in a way that minimally disturbs the birds and their habitat. In addition, data privacy and security considerations should be considered when transmitting and storing data from the sensors. Read the full article - here.

IR 4.0 comprised of many technological building blocks. It is made of AI Block, VR/AR Block, Big Data Blocks, Blockchain Block, IoT Block and many others. However, IoT is seen one the most fundamental block for IR 4.0 is because it the source of collecting data either from people (using wearables with sensors) or things (using sensors) or environment (also sensors). As many has said – “Data is King” or “Data is the New Currency”. However, I do believed, collecting raw data which is purely bits and bytes or the zeroes and ones or even numerical numbers are insufficient unless we can turn that data into something more meaningful that can answer the question of who, what, when or where. That is when the data is transformed into “knowledge”. And if it can answer the question of “how”, then it has been turned into “knowledge” and the best part is when it can answer the question of “why”, which is what we called “understanding”. And people make decision based on the understanding. But the, how do we collect all the relevant data? Which is why it's very important for us to begin with the right questions. The who, what, where and when can be gathered via relevant sensors such as RFID, GPS, clock, temperature, humidity, etc. For some, IoT seems to be a very complex “technology” or rather a combination of several technologies. We need to know how sensors and the electronic devices can capture and send data through some for of connectivity. What are the various networks that can support efficiently the amount of data with an affordable cost. And how or where these data will be aggregated – will it be on a normal server with a simple database or will it be hosted on a cloud? What is the sensors came in different forms and protocols? How do we manage these devices? And what can we do with all the data that has been collected? How should we displayed them – on simple historical or real-time graphs? Can we do more than just a dashboard and go beyond with some form of machine-learning? And how easily for us to manage the data with the never ending customer requests? It's important for us to know the various components in IoT and how it relates with each other so that when you embark on an IoT journey, it will be well-planned design and architecture.

Credit: JustLanggar POPCAST Date: 23 July 2020 The internet landscape is growing. It’s not just about computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones anymore. Now a multitude of devices is internet-connected. The list of “smart” devices includes washing machines, robotic vacuum cleaners, door locks, toys, and toasters. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the term — for anything that connects to the internet. The range of existing and potential Internet of Things (IoT) devices is enormous. Consumers often use their smartphones to communicate with IoT devices, whether it’s a smart speaker or home thermostat. Connected devices offer convenience, like helping you make a grocery list, or savings, like when you turn down the heat at home while you’re on vacation. But how many of us understand IoT? The impact and how it can change our life? How will the future look like?
