Future

Industrial automation

A device is designed to
• increase productivity, safety, and security, while reducing operations cost, equip all machinery tracking device to monitor and report any irregularity or malfunction, install sensors to regulate air quality, humidity, and temperature, send alerts with precise location when detecting any change that’s out of the pre-determined range, suggest additional changes to equipment or setting based on the data analyzed and learned over time
• Every piece of equipment and every wall, ceiling, and floor on the factory floor will be equipped with "always listening" sensors that detect the earliest sign of a production problem. A machine that starts to rattle in a new, weird way will trigger a maintenance robot to come out for an inspection. That maintenance robot will order a repair -- all before "line down" happens without human intervention.

Automotive applications

A device is designed to
• unlock the door when you approach the car, readjust the seat, rearview and side mirrors to your specification, tune to the audio source/radio station of your choice, turn on the GPS with the next destination ready to go, remind your to-do’s. monitor your vitals and alert the user of any elevated stress or irregularity, and call for help during an emergency and notify the immediate contacts

Health and welness

A device is designed to
• track blood oxygen and pressure, heart rate, perspiration, glucose, monitor the vitals to define a normal range that’s standard for the user, recommend specific diet or exercise to help improve the overall health, alert the user of any irregularity and make appointments with doctors based on the user’s calendar/availability

• More, the device will call for help during an emergency and notify the immediate contacts, generate reports and insights for the user to review and share, and learn to adjust the setting based on behavior change over time
