The Future of Healthcare and Technology
This article explores the use of IoT to promote self-care, medical care by patients themselves.
Let's take a look at IoT examples in nursing care facilities with a focus on sensor technology. This includes the introduction of IoT equipment that focus on efforts to reduce employee workloads.
The time people spend at home has increased significantly due to the spread of COVID-19. As a result, there are no doubt many people who have felt that the frequency of housework has increased (e.g. food preparation and clean-up, the amount and frequency of laundry, room cleaning, etc.).
The key to smart agriculture is the utilization of robots, AI, IoT, ICT and other advanced technologies. Introducing self-driving tractors, self-navigating drones, yield combine harvesters, harvesting robots, drones and other technologies into agriculture will solve long-standing challenges and secure a workforce of skilled workers while saving on labor and manpower. The goal is to realize a new and advanced form of agriculture in which yield and quality improve, costs decrease, and incomes increases.
Using IoT to prevent wildlife damage to crops caused when wild boars, deer, common raccoons and other wild animals devastate fields is garnering attention.
IoT is the key to breaking free from the dependence of maintenance work on intuition and unique skills. In Part 2, we will hear in detail from Kenichi Furutani, a consultant at Japan Excel-Management Consulting (JEMCO), about the specific methods and keys to implementing IoT for maintenance work.
Standardization of maintenance work is one of the most important factors in improving the competitiveness and productivity of factories. We asked Kenichi Furutani, a consultant at Japan Excel-Management Consulting (JEMCO), about how to break free from dependence on intuition and unique skills for IoT-based maintenance work.
Smart Factory Case Study
In Part 1, we presented the issues the manufacturing site is engaged in. In Part 2, we will present the Kanazawa Murata factory’s efforts to transition factories into smart factories using IT tools as well as our future developments.
Smart Factory Case Study
The manufacturing industry has been engaged in such issues as productivity improvement and quality management. In Part 1, we will present what kind of issues the Kanazawa Murata factory, which has created products using advanced technologies, is aiming to tackle and how the factory seeks to face them.
In this second part, we asked about Murata's efforts to provide easy-to-use modules for customers developing IoT devices.
