IOT World

What if you can use Internet of Things (IoT) to capture the perfect photos of the stars? What if it can ease your Astronomical instrumentation operation? These are some of the questions we asked ourselves when Shahrin Ahmad of Falak Online came to visit FAVORIOT, we explored several opportunities how IoT can play a role in Astronomy landscape. Shahrin is a creative Astronomy speaker for outreach events.  He is an experienced System developer for integrating astronomical instruments (telescopes, mounts, imagers ) and software, specifically on .NET framework. He had done many strategic consultations works on Astronomy to local agencies, universities, and schools. Shahrin is also the Owner and content provider for Malaysia’s Astronomy web portal, FalakOnline.

The possibilities of applying Internet of Things in different industries are endless. When you connect your most important asset, it will benefit not only the maker of the asset but also the users, other products and it’s surrounding environment.

Literally, watch this “Space” in the future.

Generation-IoT

Malaysia needs a pool of Generation-IoT to propel into the era of Internet of Things and turn the National IoT Strategic Framework into a reality. We need about 100K of IoT workforce which is more than the target as stated in the Framework because to support the whole value-chain of IoT. But how do we groom the workforce of the future?

FAVORIOT understand this problem very well. Malaysian-made IoT products and solutions can’t grow fast with the existing competencies. We can take an easy path of buying overseas products and roll-out in the country but we will not achieve our target as knowledge workers.

Even though FAVORIOT is a small and the latest startup in Malaysia, the co-founders of FAVORIOT comprised of industry veterans and experts in their own field. We have the vision to spur the IoT ecosystem and also offer a smart health solution focusing on Senior Care.

Recently, FAVORIOT partners with 10 Malaysian Universities to groom the new Generation-IoT. We expected another 5 including 1 overseas Universities to use FAVORIOT IoT Middleware as their tool to help students and lecturers to quickly build IoT solutions.

We hoped our efforts with the Universities will be able to groom the new pool of talents to support the whole industry. Let’s join us in a journey towards IoT in Malaysia.
