HAZARDS AROUND

While working live in the energized grid, presence of voltage around the workers requires special attention. However, live-line (live working) techniques are widely applied for decades, several accidents in the past prove that the level of safety must be improved to minimize the number and seriousness of injuries in the future.
In the high voltage grid, bare-hand method is a common technique for safe live work. In the surroundings of any energized equipment,...

Building Automation: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Building Automation Systems (BAS) have become the cornerstone of modern building management.  Beyond their well-established role in optimizing energy consumption, BAS are on the cusp of a significant transformation driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). This integration promises to reshape building operations, ushering in an era of intelligent buildings that are not only efficient and sustainable but also adaptable and responsive to the needs of occupants.


Unlocking Potential: Benefits of AI and ML in BAS

One of the most significant benefits of AI and ML in BAS lies in their ability to optimize building operations. These technologies can analyze vast amounts of data collected by a network of sensors throughout the building, including temperature, humidity, occupancy levels, and equipment performance metrics. By identifying patterns and trends in this data, AI and ML algorithms can:

Predict Maintenance Needs:  ML algorithms can analyze sensor data to detect subtle...
