Hi – Tech

New technologies, design innovation and lower total cost of ownership are revolutionizing hospitals and other healthcare establishments. Robotics, automation and telehealth are minimizing human involvement, eliminating errors and providing expert reach in remote areas.

The Internet of Things connects various medical applications and devices to centralized healthcare IT systems for customized, refined, and deeper data analysis. This ultimately impacts patient care and enhances their longevity and quality of life. Today’s medical equipment has to be telemedicine ready with video / audio / content sharing with other connected assets. Patient privacy and data security are major drivers for customized autonomous agents to monitor and protect against malicious events.

Today our lives are governed by and dependent on a variety of wireless communication systems including cellular networks and satellite systems. These systems allow for virtual sharing of audio, video and content thereby saving a lot of time, money and effort resulting in substantially improved productivity.

Our ability to reuse software across communication devices reduces development costs dramatically. Over-the-air or other remote reprogramming, allows bug fixes and updates to be made while the equipment is in service, thereby eliminating any downtime. The cost savings associated with the operation and maintenance of such systems is truly enormous.

The explosive growth in global digitization has created an unprecedented demand for tablets, handhelds and peripheral devices. These include a range of custom-built compute elements for specialized operations in home automation, military equipment and industrial devices, integrating multiple sensors and peripherals which can be customized to very specific applications. These devices must feature easy to use HMI, integrated mechanical, electronics and software capabilities.

The next generation of embedded consumer electronics capitalizes on the integration of audio, video and wireless interfaces for innovative futuristic features and capabilities. There is an insatiable demand from consumers for home automation, entertainment systems and devices which are more intuitive and easier to use. This is driving Android / iOS and voice activated control of home appliances, lighting, security systems, outdoor accessories and home entertainment systems.

Appliance usage tracking and analytics of coffee dispensers and vending machines provides deep insights to the hospitality industry for better utilization of equipment and inventory to realize substantial return on their assets. Data analytics has now become a standard feature for home and commercial environments and will be augmented by AI,ML capabilities to detect patterns, yield insights and provide recommendations.
