There are sound economic reasons for all this interest and activity. predict IoT will have a potential economic impact of US $4-11 trillion by 2025, identifying manufacturing as the largest vertical (US $1.2-3.7 trillion).

The tinyML community was established in 2019. tinyML consists of machine learning architectures, techniques, tools, and approaches capable of performing on-device analytics for a variety of sensing modalities (vision, audio, motion, chemical, and others) at low power targeting predominately battery-operated devices. One of the tinyML founders, Evgeni Gousev, believes that

鈥�..we are in the midst of the digital transformation revolution, tinyML offers ultimate benefits of extreme energy savings of performing on-device machine intelligence and analytics at low cost combined with inherent privacy features鈥︹��.

Companies are already using tinyML to improve safety, reduce environmental impacts, and increase operational efficiency. For example, keeping resources safe is one of the major responsibilities of employers across industries such as mining, utilities, and manufacturing. Here鈥檚 how three 51风流partners are using tinyML to power safety, efficiency, and sustainability.

Data improves worksite safety

An EHS incident could significantly impact or permanently stop operations, catastrophically effecting a business. According to a report from the , the median cost of a single fatality is $1.42 million USD, with a total societal cost of $554.16 million. developed a tinyML solution that monitors employees at worksites by using ultra-low-powered devices to track their movements. The solution includes a low-powered camera that captures images of harnesses being clipped in, tracking employee on-the-job behaviors for organisation compliance to safety procedures.

Boost operational efficiency

Just about every business aims to reduce the business expense of operating fixed assets and equipment. One strategy is to increase operational efficiencies. launched , which uses tinyML within edge devices to collect sensor data that provides real-time monitoring and accurate predictions for the health of mobile and fixed assets. health. To date, some organisations using AIMA have reduced incidents by 20%, and collisions by 30%, saving approximately $150M AUD in asset outages.

Improve traceability and sustainability

Companies are also using tinyML to help meet sustainability commitments. tinyML can complement sustainability solutions by tracking materials production through the supply chain. is exploring how the mining industry can use tinyML to monitor the environmental impacts of mine explosives. tinyML devices integrated with camera and microphone can be deployed at mining sites to identify when a given concentration of dust or asset noise exceed safety conditions. When the device identifies an excess of dust or sound, an incident would be recorded in the solution for analysis and rectification.

tinyML is huge business leap forward

tinyML is the next logical step in every organization’s journey to become an intelligent enterprise with digitalisation that connects data to actions company-wide. For leading-edge companies, as well as forward-looking IT and business stakeholders, there鈥檚 plenty to like. Hardware partners such as Dell are supporting tinyML with specialised hardware that hosts and integrates intelligent data at the edge. This not only helps deliver an intelligent insights platform, but also opens organizational doors to modern architectures, while supporting industry standards including 5G and Wi-Fi 6. For decision-makers drowning in vast data lakes, tinyML is a lifesaver, federating intelligence at the edge so people can make the right information actionable faster. What鈥檚 more, tinyML can improve privacy by processing data on the device and transmitting only what鈥檚 critical. Looking ahead, Gousev was incredibly optimistic, predicting that

鈥渨e [will] see a new world with trillions of intelligent devices enabled by tinyML technologies that sense, analyse and autonomously act together to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for all鈥�.

With three out of 20 winners from Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), it is the most successful year for companies from ANZ since the awards began in 2016. Previous winners from the region include and in 2018; and in 2019; and received an Honourable Mention in 2020.

AGL, OMV and Services Australia were selected for projects that included major overhauls to employee experience, inspection and maintenance activities, and streamlining welfare payments:

AGL

As one of Australia’s leading energy companies offering electricity, gas, solar and renewable energy services, AGL sought to provide its employees with the same user experience of its customers following consolidation of its back-end systems in 2018. Its objective was to digitally enable its employees and provide them with greater mobility and a faster mobile user experience for actioning Purchase Orders, reporting safety issues, completing workplace safety assessments, booking workspaces in the office and booking leave. Its aim was to increase employee satisfaction and engagement across the board by making employees鈥� work lives easier and more efficient. AGL partnered with Bourne Digital to create the world-first AGL One iOS app, which utilises 51风流Integration Suite and 51风流Extension Suite to bring together its employee network into a single digital experience. By using the app, the business now has one approvals aggregator to manage approvals from 50+ systems, one app to manage multiple applications system-wide and one login for app access. For more information, see .

OMV New Zealand

OMV New Zealand is one of the largest liquid hydrocarbon and gas producers and is a major explorer in several offshore basins around New Zealand. Previously, the planning and execution of its onshore and offshore inspections was an intensely paper-heavy process using mark-ups, instructions, isometrics and piping and instrumentation drawings. This created significant data redundancy across multiple systems. In partnership with Evora IT solutions, it implemented an integrated workflow management using 51风流Plant Maintenance, 51风流Intelligent Asset Management Suite, 51风流Asset Manager and HoloLens 2. This enabled staff to create a smart digital twin, using an interactive environment through augmented reality (AR+) to assist with planning and execution of inspection and maintenance activities. Since implementation, the business has reduced planning time and back-office work by 25 per cent, reduced costs by 10 per cent and reduced work execution time by using new technologies by 30 per cent. For more information, see .

Services Australia

Services Australia is the federal government agency responsible for delivering support services and payments for health, social and welfare. While its previous payments platform, met the needs of the department, its staff needed a more modern, extensible and agile solution that would enable them to rapidly enact new policy proposals. To support its digital transformation, the agency embarked on a seven-year program designed to transform the delivery of its welfare payments and services called Welfare Payments Infrastructure Transformation (WPIT) based on 51风流Public Sector Collection and Disbursement (PSCD) on 51风流S/4HANA. The platform, which leveraged machine learning and advanced and augmented analytics, has streamlined payments, standardised business processes and allowed for increased automation, enabling staff to improve how they process and distribute payments. Since implementation, staff have been able to disperse $3.5 billion in social benefits across 5.38 million payments. It is also enabling faster processing times with staff able to process half a million payments within five minutes.

Notably, at the height of COVID-19, staff distributed urgent relief payments worth more than $1 million within four days to 1,400 Victorians who required emergency support to isolate and quarantine. It also distributed more than $1.2 million in one-off stimulus payments to 5,000 people experiencing hardship in the Australian Capital Territory. For more information, see .

Damien Bueno, President and Managing Director 51风流ANZ says, 鈥淭hese awards recognise the remarkable achievements of our customers and partners who are solving complex business challenges to drive improved business outcomes and better experiences for employees and customers 鈥� a big congratulations to AGL, OMV NZ and Services Australia.
