IoT – Heading to fight the pandemic

IoT – Heading to fight the pandemic

Opening up workspace amidst the pandemic is dependent on the safety measures, IoT has a prominent role to follow. There are tech giants in the market to launch the products to help the business sector manage the facilities available in the pandemic. Some expertise aims at the smart vision to track people in the facility-area, and alert during the security breach that might be due to increased occupancy than the limit. The system is driven with a standard camera with an optical people counter module attached or with a sensor. The data is shared via a Wi-Fi network, which will then read through software and run into graphs giving a clear analysis of occupancy in the given premises. The system in total alerts on the distancing rules is violated very often.

There is software that uses thermal cameras to detect the temperature deformity in the organizational setup. Some organizations also have wall mount tracks with infrared sensors, that run via a battery, which reports back the findings via a network that is fed into a web portal that gives a real-time report of occupancy in the given area. IoT botnets also have their application but have weak security measures hence, it is still under research.

Contact tracing via IoT built with the Bluetooth tag has increased accuracy, in a densely populated area. Deploying Bluetooth tags and smart devices with system-wide optimization of Bluetooth devices, avoiding message collision, so that highly susceptible contact is not missed out. IoT can equip unique and pervasive computing and allow impeccable care testing. The sensors carry out ion imaging, which can measure ion concentration in the solution that has samples extracted from the patient. Imbibition of automation and technology in health care such as IoMT bedside devices reduce interactions with patients and improving the safety of the health care personnel. This enables the collection of data from more patients, where patients can record and update their temperature on the portal and avoid the cross infection to other patients in the vicinity. Introducing IoT in the medical sector will need collective efforts of economical and technical fields.

Patient compliance is ensured once potentially infected patients are quarantined using IoT. IoT can relieve overworked up health care officials by remote monitoring of patients, which will increase the efficiency of health workers, also reduce the exposure to infection.

We are seeing an interesting convergence of technology, medicine, social issues, and human progress – John Nosta.

Enhancing Operational Efficiency by Providing Data Insight &Automation | Intelligent WellheadSystems

It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.

Redefining Climate Change Initiative | Darren W. Woods | ExxonMobil

Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
When Darren Woods took the reigns of ExxonMobil six years ago, no one could have anticipated that the Kansas resident would soon face what Texas oil patch vets call “a whole pile of trouble.” Three years later, the oil market collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dealt the 140-year-old oil organization its first annual upset in four decades.

Offering Limitless Possibilities To The O&G Industry | Advanced Upstream

Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.

Taking Advantage of Sustainable Energy | ABB Switzerland

Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
