The day before yesterday (June 6), only two days of San Francisco "TECHEX" we call it the IOT show, ending at 4 PM. To say that the Internet of Things exhibition is actually a bit far-fetched. Because it includes some of the latest technologies such as big data, cloud computing, AI, and variable edge computing. This show is held by the British, and there are three similar shows every year in the world, the US, the Netherlands and the UK.
The scale of exhibitors is not large, about 200, AI manufacturers are relatively more, and hardware manufacturers are relatively few. Most of the exhibitors are from North America, mainly the United States. In terms of the number of exhibitors, in addition to the United States is China. We in Shaanxi Province, China, with the funding of the provincial Department of Commerce, arranged ten enterprises to participate in the exhibition. In addition, there are several enterprises in Wuhan, Xiamen and Shenzhen. It is estimated to account for about 8% of the total exhibitors. The booth price is not low, but it is different from most exhibitions: First, most of the exhibition time is 3 days, it is two days. Second, in addition to an exhibition table and two chairs, the standard booth does not even have a negotiating table.
As the inspiration of the global IOT technology, the United States IBM company occupies a large market position. And put forward the concept of using AI and "intelligent automation" to improve productivity and improve efficiency. We used to talk about from automation to intelligence, combining intelligence and automation, and seeing the concept of intelligent automation for the first time.
Several companies exhibited their satellite Internet of Things, also known as the Internet of stars technology, among which Globalstar (Global Star) company booth was very bright. They emphasize the advantages of star networking in terms of lower power consumption, longer life and higher performance. The planet is infinite, and the multiplier of 5G capability is more powerful than 5G.
This is another company proposing satellite iot, with the same idea of "your world, my network, turning the world into a truly global network."
The same company is also trying to connect iot phones to satellites via ground control, forming what is now the consensus star network.
According to Gu, the star network in China has also been proposed for many years, there are state-owned companies or private companies are doing star network. At present, some applications have been formed, but the problems of cost and power supply, as well as the development of the overall Internet of things, have not yet formed a fit, which also hinders the development of star networking.
The company's logo is an iot pilot, ready to take off, improving asset visibility and management efficiency through iot and AI management.
The company's iot GPS tracker, how to improve iot connectivity, global iot connectivity, edge computing, 5G support, programmable eSim. These technologies are not much different from those at home.
The Chinese company brings IOT wireless sensors for building intelligence, as well as hardware and software for indoor asset management and tracking.
Artificial intelligence is a hot concept, in the United States, and around the world. The exhibition includes artificial intelligence, but most of the hardware companies of artificial intelligence did not appear, very close to the scene of the exhibition, the most ox is the AI company Nvidia, and can not be found in the exhibition. Most of the AI exhibitors are software companies, but also application companies.
From most AI exhibitors, we see that artificial intelligence is not only a new concept, but more of a combination of artificial intelligence and specific practical work. For example, this company is studying how to make artificial intelligence boost your business, make your business bigger and better than people do.
How AI can improve productivity, how it can drive factors of production, and how it can be integrated into the specific business of the company. Instead of what most of us currently understand, artificial intelligence is replacing programmers, replacing grass-roots journalists, etc., and I think this is the right direction for artificial intelligence.
There are also companies that do edge computing, and combine edge computing and AI with people networking, but also for some specific applications. The area of the company's booth is not small, but the specific application is only in the retail industry.
It was inevitable to combine cloud computing and edge computing to build a management platform. However, in the process of specific implementation or research, it is also necessary to apply to the corresponding industry, and it seems that the company is doing well.
Like most exhibitions in the United States, this exhibition also had five different lecture venues, focusing on different topics, and it was not a small number of people from morning to night. Exhibition + forum, the combination of the two has become a common trend of exhibitions around the world. Use forums to attract visitors. Use exhibitions to showcase specific applications.
Because Googo has to stand at the booth all the time, there is no time to listen to the development of IOT speeches, especially.
Xi'an Chinastar M&C Ltd. participated in the IOT exhibition in the United States for the first time, and the overall harvest was better than expected. The first day of the booth is especially a lot of guests, and there are several projects and agents to talk about. CGTN, the international network channel of CCTV, was interviewed at the booth, which boosted our confidence.
Although the US exhibition is only two days, but "glimpse and know the whole leopard", probably has some broad understanding of the development of the Internet of Things in the United States. The technological development of the Internet of Things in the United States did not see obvious new ideas, new theories, new applications and new hardware at the exhibition, but the star network almost occupied the dominant position of the Internet of Things at the exhibition, which is not also a trend in the development of the Internet of Things in the United States, worth thinking about our colleagues in the IOT in China.
In the US, there are not many companies doing IOT hardware in the US, and we in China have three exhibiting different IOT hardware, including building networking sensors, temperature, humidity and air quality; Indoor asset tracking hardware and our smart city hardware series from Xi'an Chinastar M&C Ltd.
A little incident. Look at the picture above. What is this young man carrying? This is a Chinese guy in the United States to make their own invention backpack, there is a screen on the back, can display various ads, the built-in battery can display for six hours. This is him carrying this sample of his new invention, looking for investors at the exhibition, give this guy a thumbs up!
At JFK Terminal T7 in New York. Suddenly thought of today is China's Dragon Boat Festival, I wish you see the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival Ankang。
