“Industri di Malaysia tidak
melihat kemahiran sebagai
satu nilai yang berharga untuk
dibayar, menjadi punca
bidang kejuruteraan negara
masih tidak meningkat ke
tahap yang sepatutnya.”
“Industri juga berasakan
graduan kejuruteraan tidak
bersedia untuk membuat
kerja, tetapi tidak mahu
melabur untuk memberi
latihan dan pengalaman yang
betul.

Sensors:
• Camera – “Eyes”
• Audio – “Ears”
• Accelerometer – “Speed”
• GPS – “Location”
• Gyroscope – “Movement”
• Compass – “Direction”
• Proximity – “Closeness”
• Ambient light – “Eyes”
• Others…
Context
1. Spatial – Location / Speed
Orientation
2. Temporal – Time / Duration
3. Environmental –
Temperature / Light /
Noise Level
4. User Characterization –
Activity (Mobility Pattern) /
Social (Friends,
Interactions)
5. Resource Availability –
Storage / Memory /
Computational / Battery
Your Smartphone is an IoT Device

Why Use an IoT Platform?
• It reduce development time for your IoT project by
providing ready-made, reusable technology stack
• It helps you validate your business case early
• It helps you to go to market quickly
• It may include ready-made software, tools, materials that
you can use
• It provides features that could be essential for your project
– ease of onboarding, integration with 3rd party software,
device management, user management, push
notifications
• It reduces your risks and costs

Solving IoT Project Issues
1. An incomplete IoT Lab which only focuses on either
standalone Arduino or Raspberry Pi devices without
connecting to an IoT platform
2. Students have to do their own research on hundreds of
IoT middleware before choosing one for their Final Year
projects.
3. Many IoT projects cannot complete on time because
students are busy either developing their own
“middleware” or server or busy in troubleshooting the
connectivity between the sensor device and the server.
4. In search for suitable Database to store sensor data and
Display Result with Dashboard
