Industrial Talks Reflection
Contains All Industrial Talks 1-7 Reflections
We learned about Microsoft Power BI software and the Data Engineering field from Industrial Talk 7. Mr. Isma Redha, an iCEP data engineer, gave the presentation. Mr. Isma gave many tips on how to succeed in data engineering studies, as well as the criteria and rules for becoming a data engineer. He also gave some pointers on how to get the most out of Power BI, such as not using more than six colors in a single layout because it will make it difficult for the user to read the data, using formal fonts and elements, and avoiding high contrast color combinations on the chart. Though business intelligence products are typically the domain of business analysts and data scientists, Power BI can be used by a wide range of people within a company due to its user-friendly nature. Power BI can create custom dashboards based on the data that is relevant and the information that we require. Power BI can also work with whatever data we give it, allowing us to report on almost anything. Finance, marketing, sales, human resources, information technology, and operations are among the departments that use it the most. However, because few businesses have the resources or need for a full-time data engineer, Power BI is frequently used as a self-service tool by various departments to track progress and gain insight into their team's performance.
I learned something new about Wi-Fi6 and 5G as a result of this talk. To begin, I learned that 5G is a wireless technology that provides significantly faster speeds than fiber optic cables. We were also shown how 5G can bring about changes in various fields. For example, with the implementation of 5G, movies that previously took a long time to install will now take only seconds. Second, I've learned about the evolution of Wi-Fi over time. In 2019, Wi-Fi 6 was verified for the first time, after only four years of development. Wi-Fi6 offers high bandwidth, low latency, high concurrency, and low power consumption, according to what I've learned. The speaker discussed the potential changes that Wi-Fi 6 could bring to various fields, with a particular focus on the gaming industry. Gamers will have a better gaming experience with the implementation of Wi-Fi 6 in the gaming domain. There will be no lags or other interruptions, as well as a faster data transfer rate and refresh rate. Wi-Fi 6 and 5G technology, in my opinion, are essential in today's world. These innovations will boost productivity in a variety of fields. Users will have a better experience with their devices as well. These two technologies, in my opinion, will undoubtedly be implemented soon. As a result, people should prepare themselves to adapt to these new technologies in order to avoid being left behind in society.
Mr Goh gave us an overview of the world's situation over the last 24-months with covid-19 in the first few minutes of the talk. Everyone uses their devices to live their daily lives virtually. Almost everything, including meetings, bill payment, and keeping in touch with relatives, is done virtually via the internet. We can achieve convenience in life with the emerging technology in network infrastructure. For example, we have smart lighting, environmental air monitoring, an automated lock, and much more on campus. Those innovations are undeniably beneficial to students conducting experiments and conducting research. All of the technology that expresses the phrase 'Smart Campus,' as well as the networking of that technology, is extremely important. As a result, a solid network infrastructure is required to ensure that networking functions properly. Some employers may experience a loss of business as a result of unanticipated network connectivity issues. To make network maintenance easier, we need to create more automated, self-optimizing, and self-healing network environments. This is due to the fact that obtaining an optimized and secure network infrastructure takes time and is not an easy task. To improve existing network infrastructure technologies for the next generation, we need to gain more knowledge and master this field.
This talk went over the 4th Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0) in detail, with a focus on Augmented Reality (AR). This technology is evolving in so many ways that it is very likely that it will be in vogue in the next 5 years, based on the revenue projections for this technology. The speaker also discussed the application of augmented reality in ten different fields, including fashion, healthcare, education, and more. We were also informed the various types of augmented reality that are currently available. Because of its potential to make everything much easier, I believe AR technology will be widely used as predicted. For example, students can use augmented reality (AR) technology in the classroom to see objects through AR, which is beneficial to their understanding. As a result, I believe that the use of augmented reality in various fields is beneficial because it not only makes things easier to understand, but it also allows us to see what is happening in the real world.
Dr. Qusay Al-Maatouk, a lecturer from Asia Pacific University, gave the talk. The talk was primarily about what cloud computing is and how it works. According to Dr. Qusay, cloud computing is a computing utility that meets the basic needs of an individual who requires more than just a computer, such as a database, network, and so on. I also discovered that AWS services were used all over the world, with some of them coming from large corporations such as McDonalds, a massive fast-food corporation. He also stated that cloud computing has many more advantages than traditional computing because, according to him, traditional computing has many flaws due to staffing issues, whereas cloud computing does not require as many staff members as traditional computing, making it easier to use and more hassle-free. He also discussed AWS, which stands for Amazon Web Services, and the AWS Management Console, Command Line Interface, and Software Development Kits were the three ways to interact with AWS. AWS also offers a number of services, one of which is the AWS Pricing Calculator, which allows you to estimate your monthly costs. Overall, it broadened my understanding of what cloud computing entails. Cloud computing is proving to be extremely beneficial to businesses of all sizes. These Cloud Service Providers businesses offer storage, database servers, networking, and software to help businesses grow. Cloud computing enables a company to reduce its monthly operational and fixed costs for hardware, databases, servers, and software licenses. The cloud service provider manages cloud servers and data centers. As a result, no employee management is required. It will eventually reduce the need for IT resources, such as people.
I learned a few things from the presentation. To begin, a basic understanding of cybersecurity in relation to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0). Second, in IR 4.0, I've learned the importance of cybersecurity. Finally, I was given an overview of the various cybersecurity services offered by CyberSecurity Malaysia. Finally, I gained some insight into the challenges Malaysia faces as it moves toward IR 4.0, based on the cybersecurity platform, as well as ideas from the speaker's suggestions on how to lead Malaysia toward IR 4.0 adoption. As a result of this discussion, I believe Malaysia has the potential to compete in IR 4.0. I believe that IR 4.0 will have a significant impact on our society. As a result, based on the discussion, I believe that younger generations must implement and reflect in order to lead Malaysia towards IR 4.0. If young people take the initiative to implement IR 4.0, Malaysia will benefit in a variety of areas, including road safety, services, healthcare, education, and so on. As a result, in my opinion, IR 4.0 should be implemented, particularly in the cybersecurity sector, as it has the potential to benefit all Malaysians who use the cloud.
I learned a lot about IoT in the context of IR4.0 from this industrial session. Internet access was previously limited to devices like a PC, tablet, or smartphone, but thanks to the Internet of Things, nearly any item can now be connected to the Internet and remotely monitored. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices that send and receive data over the internet. We need advances in IR4.0 that involve expertise in the field of IoT to ensure we know the location of items we buy online, turn off lights we forgot to turn off when leaving the house without driving back home, and control the garden humidity and temperature without spending a lot of time in the garden. The Internet of Things (IoT) not only makes life easier in our offices by automating routine tasks like temperature and lighting adjustments, but it can also help the environment by ensuring that energy is only used when and where it is required. SWIMS (smart water integrated management system) was also introduced by TM, with one of its benefits being the reduction of water waste in the country. People could use IoT to track their own health via wearable devices, giving them more control over their lives and health management. That being said, we are able to enjoy technological advancements while also addressing environmental and health concerns.
