The ZETA AIoT Industrial IoT solution relies on ZETA transmissions that enable anomaly detection and failure prediction by machine learning and training historical operational data and fault samples from sensors such as temperatures, current, sounds, vibrations, and upgrading terminal device algorithms. By incorporating precise machine-learning algorithms into the $1-cost MCUs, the fault-detection accuracy of the ZETA AIoT facility is reached to 90%. 80% of everyday patrols can be achieved with instrumentation and sensor facilities, reducing labor costs by more than 40%. Applicable to various electrical and mechanical facilities such as motors, pump, ventilators, robot arms, compressors, and industrial situations such as glass curtain walls, press platforms, and architectural structures.
Up to now, SCG has tried the ZETA AIoT Industrial IoT solution and evaluated the ZETA AIoT Industrial IoT solution with low power consumption, end intelligence advantage and 100% successful data transmission. SCG contributes to the digitization of Thailand and Southeast Asian countries through the "artificial intelligence + IoT" solution and further promote ZETA solutions in scenes such as buildings and factories.
