EDITOR’S NOTE Can AI and Chatbots Benefit B2B Companies? Artificial intelligence (AI) and chatbots have become the hottest topics in the consumer-related business in 2017. One of the speakers at Computex 2017 from IBM pointed out that many business activities would rely more on AI instead of human intelligence to create extra value and services for their customers in the future. Looking at the latest mergers and acquisitions by Google, Apple and Facebook regarding AI, we can imagine AI will soon impact all aspects of our lives and activities. At the same time, chatbots are emerging alongside AI in 2017, mainly benefiting from advancements in AI and machine learning as natural language recognition became much easier. Commonly residing in messaging software, SMS, live chat, email and apps, chatbots help to create a more human-like conversational manner. BI Intelligence recently reported that messaging apps have surpassed social networks starting in 2015. However, chatbots are not just used in social activities. Another survey by Oracle shows that many business decision makers are considering the use of certain automation technologies, including chatbots, to enhance sales, marketing, customer service, and to save manpower. 80 percent of businesses in the survey wanted chatbots by 2020. The speaker also mentioned that IBM Watson (its AI service) has helped enterprises, such as DBS Bank, develop chatbots to find and interact with more customers in different industries. Next, we should probably think about how to build “bots” in order to create more business intelligence for our customers.

Amid IIoT, manufacturers are doing their best to automate their production processes. For this they turn to two elements: machine vision and RFID — the former serving as the “eye” of production and the latter scanning mass quantities of goods all at once. Together, the two make factories smarter than ever.
For this issue, we feature in-depth reports on the exhibitors and buyers at Secutech 2017. We explored the latest technologies and security trends, and found out more about the various sourcing behavior buyers have. Secutech was a success this year, read all about it in this issue!
The recent WannaCry ransomware attack again highlights the importance of cybersecurity in any type of system. The responsibility of which lies not only with manufacturers, but also the end users. Sticking with legacy software or not keeping systems up-to-date would create vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Many exhibitors were at Secutech this year, and quite a few were able to share the latest in security and automation. From video surveillance to access controls, it seemed more exhibitors were showcasing solutions for various verticals rather than promoting new technologies.
Global security buyers are constantly forced to shift their purchasing behavior due to technological advancements and market changes. In this issue, we take a closer look at these changes in paradigm to better understand the industry trends and expectations.

Smart Security Solution Atop Streetlights The tactical EVAluator, Eva by Navio, is a smart security device that integrates itself to streetlights. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas
O
ne of the major problems while installing advanced solutions in existing infrastructure is finding a suitable way to retrofit them. This is especially true when it comes to large-scale projects like city surveillance and smart cities. However, here is a security solution that can integrate itself to streetlights. The product we are talking about is known as Eva, the tactical EVAluator. Manufactured by the San Fransiscobased company Navio, Eva is a smart security device that is constantly sensing its environment. It evaluates threats and instantly broadcasts alerts in response to them. Most significantly Eva can be installed within 30 seconds on top of a streetlight, using its existing power source. Speaking to asmag.com, Ernest Brown, CEO of Navio, explained the hardware and software components that go into this solution. “Eva has an onboard computer, four cameras for 360-degree views, a chip that handles Wi-Fi, cellular and Bluetooth connections, as well as a customizable sensor array,” Brown said. “Alerts are transmitted over cellular connection to a cloud-based mobile

app. Customers can receive calls, texts, or emails when an alert is triggered. Depending on the threat, emergency responders are also contacted automatically.” Brown feels that Eva is special because it incorporates streetlights, existing infrastructure, into its security platform. Streetlights have an unlimited power source, high visibility and use the classic ANSI twist plug. Many cities are refurbishing their streetlight for smart city upgrades. However, this can cost up to US$30,000 per streetlight. Eva can be installed on the existing infrastructure, without the need for refurbishing the entire streetlight, saving municipalities enormous amounts of money. There are over 40 million streetlights in the United States where Eva can stand guard to protect communities. As for factors that could drive demand for this product, Brown pointed to the ongoing governmental attempts to develop smarter and safer cities. “Municipalities are engaging in Smart City upgrades and are also concerned about security threats to its citizens,” he said. “Eva addresses both of these concerns. Eva’s easy installation is perfect for special events (concerts, parades,

sporting events, etc.) — allowing municipalities to create secure grids with video surveillance and customizable sensors that can provide weather, acoustic and other data. This unique combination of sensors, cameras and easy installation will drive demand for our product.” Speaking of benefits to security systems integrators (SIs), Brown added that SIs can seamlessly incorporate Eva in their security protocols with its 30-second installation process.

Here is Thermal Radar: a Rival to Conventional Thermal Cameras Thermal Imaging Radar provides a cost-effective thermal imaging system that offers a direct competition to conventional thermal cameras. BY Prasanth Aby Thomas
D
espite the arrival and popularity of ultra-high definition low-light cameras, thermal imaging systems continue to remain an integral part of security solutions, especially in sites like critical infrastructure. However, the cost of installing several thermal cameras can be a deterring factor for many end users. This is where the company, Thermal Imaging Radar, sees a potential market. Its product, Thermal Radar, offers a direct competition to conventional thermal cameras. “Threats to the security of assets and critical infrastructure are increasing,” said Brady Flamm, VP of Business Development at Thermal Imaging Radar. “Thermal Radar provides a cost-effective solution, using one thermal sensor to do the work of up to 16 thermal cameras — this has led to strong global demand from a variety of vertical markets including critical infrastructure, utilities, prisons, airports, agriculture, among many others.” “Thermal Radar provides a cost-effective solution, using one thermal sensor to do the work of up to 16 thermal cameras — this has led to strong global demand from a variety of vertical markets including critical infrastructure, utilities, prisons, airports, agriculture, among many others,” Flamm explained. Simply put, Thermal Radar is a 360 degree wide area intrusion detection system, providing unparalleled situation awareness and actionable intelligence. It provides comprehensive and cost-effective perimeter security through analytics-based thermal intrusion detection and geospatial alarm generation. “Thermal Radar uses a rotating thermal sensor to provide
continuous thermal coverage — unlike with a thermal PTZ where you are hoping it’s looking in the right place at the right time,” Flamm continued. “With its 360-degree coverage, Thermal Radar can provide inside out coverage, monitoring the entire perimeter from the inside — without the need to trench and install cameras on all corners. The award-winning Hydra combines Thermal Radar detection with an IR illuminated PTZ.When Thermal Radar makes a detection, the PTZ is automatically pointed on target providing visual confirmation.” Thermal Radar’s edge-based analytics provide smart detection that can be monitored with the included software, or can be viewed and recorded in a VMS. The user can identify which areas to monitor and which areas to ignore.The user defines the detection criteria for each area of interest — determining whether humans, vehicles, or both are being detected, and what confidence level much be reached before an alert is generated. Asked how security systems integrators can benefit from the product, Flamm pointed out that the company relies on experienced integrators to sell, install and support the products across the globe. “Some integrators focus on Thermal Radar as their core product, allowing them to capitalize on a hot new product that creates strong demand and growth for their business, while other integrators view it as an important option that fills a void among their solutions,” Flamm said.

Fraud is a constant concern for ATM operators, and statistics show that it is increasingly becoming a bigger and bigger fight. Implementing the best video surveillance solution for ATM monitoring could help operators minimize losses and reduce instances of fraud. BY Eifeh Strom, Freelancer
TMs are there for our convenience, yet they’ve also become a gateway for criminals to commit fraud. There are many ways to attack ATMs and the people using them. While physical attacks are a concern, nowadays card skimming and fraud cause far more damage. Without knowing it a person could steal your debit card and banking information in a split second. And the number of people being affected by this type of crime is increasing. Skimming and cash harvesting continue to be problems for ATMs worldwide. In the U.S. alone, the number of compromised ATMs and merchant devices rose 30 percent in 2016, according to a recent report by FICO; however, the European ATM Crime Report by the European ATM Security Team (EAST) found card skimming attacks in Europe decreased 20 percent from in 2016. Despite this, ATM related fraud attacks still increased in Europe by 26 percent in 2016, according to EAST. Around 60 percent of compromises in the U.S. were at non-bank ATMs, such as those in convenience stores, according to FICO. The remainder occurred at bank ATMs or point-of-sale (POS) devices, such as card payment machines at retailers. There is good news, though. The average duration of a compromise continues to fall. On average, FICO found an ATM or POS device would be compromised for 11 days, compared to 14 days in 2015. This also cut the average number of cards affected by a single compromise in half. Although the rising numbers in ATM fraud doesn’t sound promising, a solid video surveillance system as part of a holistic security solution for monitoring ATMs could

help catch criminals before too much damage is done. By deploying the right type of cameras and having in place an effective video management system (VMS), ATM operators could be more prepared than ever to prevent attacks before it’s too late.
Challenges in aTM MoniToring There are many challenges when it comes to monitoring ATMs. These challenges come in the form of the environment, as well as having the proper equipment installed. Environmental challenges are difficult to control. Changes in lighting because of sunlight is one of the major challenges inherent in monitoring ATMs. With many ATMs outdoors, cameras must be able to deal with the changing brightness of the sun, as well as darkness once the sun goes down, and any other changes in environment. Video surveillance cameras, then, must be able to adjust to these changes. “March Networks offers a line of purpose-built ATM cameras that incorporate both high dynamic range and excellent low light performance to ensure that images are never overexposed or silhouetted,” said Daniel Caggiula, Market Solutions Manager at March Networks.

Highlights of Secutech International 2017 Exhibitors Companies demonstrate the advancement of security technologies and how they adopt the IoT trends by the a&s Editorial Team
Once again, Secutech brought many innovative developers showcasing the latest in security and automation. Analytics is becoming a new trend in the surveillance industry and quite a few exhibitors emphasized the importance of using big data and cloud to utilize the technology. Biometrics also received its fair share of attention from simple finger scanner to iris recognition. Various forms of security and automation were on display and the a&s reporters had the privilege to interview many of the representatives.

Streamlining Surveillance with Analytics and Cloud This year at Secutech, quite a few companies presented their own unique video surveillance and analytics solutions. Many of which utilize the growing trend of cloud technology to enhance solutions.
N
VIDIA demonstrated its Tesla GPU accelerator for servers and Jetson platform which is more for edge devices. Tesla-enabled servers can be used on-site or in cloud solutions; as an example for the latter, video taken by multiple cameras can be transmitted to the server in the cloud where complex deep learning algorithms are hosted, allowing the system to detect various objects or situations based on what it’s trained to do. Applications can be manifold. “In safe city, instead of sitting in front of the monitors all the time, you can let the system identify suspicious individuals or vehicles and track them accordingly. In retail you can be informed of most frequented areas and make related adjustments accordingly,” said Ian Chen, Senior Sales Manager at NVIDIA, adding prospects for the Asian markets are quite good. There are a lot of VMS systems out in the market, but not all would allow users to quickly search and find specific videos. IronYun showcased an artificial intelligence video search solution based on a cloud and big data video operating platform at the show. According to Troy Wu, Sales Manager for IronYun, its program utilizes deep learning algorithms to allow users to not only search for specific videos using keywords via an intelligent video search engine, they can also further analyze the video, as their program incorporates facial recognition, license plate recognition, virtual fencing, vehicle routing, among others. Qognify also showcased its search engine, focused on finding suspects through recorded data. If a particular

suspect is being searched on a recorded footage, there may be 10 to 30 hours of video that needs to be watched. With the suspect search engine, the searched task can be reduced to minutes. “Using big data of videos that had been recorded, we can put into good use by asking the system to help me to find where this suspected person touch points were within vicinity so we can trace his movements and understand what he has done,” said Sunny Kong, Sales Director at Qognify. By having the knowledge of the locations the suspect has appeared in the command center could dispatch law enforcement to each place to increase the chance of catching the suspect. Cloud technology has become an important feature for connecting video surveillance. Network Optix presented its cloud connect technology that is ideal in particular multisite environments, where the setup of a video system can be a complex process. What Network Optix’s solution does is take the complexity out of the picture. “We make things much easier for the integrators and users. For users, say a storeowner with thousands of stores, they can monitor any single location from anywhere with any device, all through their cloud account with us,” said Benny Chen, APAC BD Manager at Network Optix. Another feature that sets Network Optix apart is its effective use of the hive architecture, which is a more cost-effective way to ensure redundancy. “For example in a 10-server system, if one of the server fails, the camera on this server will be automatically forwarded across the rest of the nine servers to continue the recording,” Chen said. “You

What to Know When Choosing a
LPWAN Technology MAY 2017 ● www.asmag.com
More and more, in projects such as smart city or smart parking, users are faced with the need to install low-power devices that transmit small amounts of data over long distances. Rather than 3G/4G that is not optimized for this purpose, the low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technology stands as an ideal option. Currently there are different LPWAN technologies in the market, and the user should select a technology based on their demands and needs. By William Pao
40
PWAN has gained popularity in recent years, and that trend is expected to continue. In a research note, ABI Research estimated that 4 billion IoT devices are expected to rely on LPWANs by 2025, with the potential to generate a total value of more than US$2 billion. For low-power devices that transmit small data over long distances, LPWAN provides an option that works more effectively than other wireless technologies. “Many potential ’connected things’ are located in remote or hard-to-reach areas at long distances from the next cellular base station. When there is coverage, it is often poor and requires the device transmitter to operate at high power, draining the battery,” said Steve Dunn, CEO of LEAPIN Digital Keys. “Additionally, cellular networks are not optimized for applications that only transmit small amounts of infrequent data. Further, the existing cellular standards don’t support power saving capabilities, which makes these standards unsuitable for inexpensive devices that require battery lives of several years.” “Wireless transmissions from IoT end nodes often must communicate across long distances or need to penetrate barriers such as concrete or soil. LPWAN technologies are a good option for these conditions, enabling data that might otherwise be inaccessible or too costly to access to be connected to the cloud,” said Tom Pannell, Senior Marketing Director for IoT Products at Silicon Labs. “Ultimately, LPWAN connections help provide more insights into what is happening in the physical world — that is, via sensor nodes in our homes, offices, factories and urban infrastructure — thus contributing to real-time cloud-based analytics.”
Technologies and applicaTions Currently many LPWAN technologies exist; these include NB-IoT, LoRa, Sigfox, HaLow, RPPM and Weightless. Each has unique features and characteristics that users should know before deciding which technology is most suitable for them.
NB-IoT NB-IoT (NarrowBand IoT) is a LPWAN technology standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the same group that specified the LTE technology. As such NB-IoT operates in the same spectrum as LTE. Ecosystem partners include Huawei Technologies, Ericsson, Qualcomm Technologies, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone Group, Intel and Nokia.
Steve Dunn, CEO, LEAPIN Digital Keys
Ted Myers, CTO, Ingenu
Tom Pannell, Senior Marketing Director, IoT Products, Silicon Labs
“Since NB-IoT operates in licensed spectrum, it is secure and reliable providing guaranteed quality of service,” Dunn said. “NB-IoT will eventually work virtually anywhere in mobile network operators’ existing infrastructure. It connects devices more simply and efficiently on already established mobile networks, and handles small amounts of fairly infrequent two-way data, securely and reliably.” NB-IoT has various applications from smart parking to smart hotels. “We see NB-IoT as being most applicable for use in hotels.
Randy Ryder, Marketing and Business Development Manager, Wi-Fi Alliance
This solution is going to create value for hotels and guests alike as being able to add digital keys to hotel guest loyalty apps. This will streamline hotel operations and help them to capture data to improve the overall guest experience,” Dunn said. “We also believe there are many new applications for smart locks in areas that don’t require on-site power or Wi-Fi such as parcel delivery lockers, storage spaces, cabinet locks and even vehicles.”
LoRaWAN and Sigfox LoRaWAN is another popular LPWAN technology. It is specified by the LoRa Alliance whose members include prestigious IT firms including Cisco, IBM and Renesas. According to the alliance, LoRaWAN transmits data at rates from 0.3 kbps to 50 kbps. Sigfox meanwhile is a French company that created the Sigfox LPWAN technology, whose ecosystem partners include NXP, ON Semiconductor, Wisol and InnoComm. According to the company, Sigfox operates in the 200 kHz of the publicly available band to exchange radio messages over the air, with each message being 100 Hz wide and transferred at 100 or 600 bits per second, depending on the region. According to Pannell, LoRa and Sigfox are best suited for city surveillance applications. “This involves disparate, spread-out end nodes, which are often located in hard-to-reach environments. A good example is a vibration sensor embedded in a bridge, providing data on the bridge’s physical condition and potential for stress-induced failure,” he said.
Wi-Fi HaLow
LPWAN enables the transmission of small amounts of data between low-power devices over long distances, making it ideal for a range of applications including smart parking.
Wi-Fi HaLow is developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. According to Randy Ryder, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Wi-Fi Alliance, the technology operates in the 900 MHz portion of the radio spectrum (as opposed to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz for traditional Wi-Fi), transmits data at a low of 150 kilobits per second to 18 megabits per second, and has transmission range of up to 1 kilometer.

NTERNET THINGS
OF
Increasingly, manufacturing is moving towards Industry 4.0, where factories rely more on automated processes instead of traditional human labor. Against this backdrop, more and more manufacturing plants are employing machine vision and RFID — the former providing vision to production and the latter allowing mass quantities of goods to be identified, all at once. BY William Pao
Factories Get smart With Machine Vision, RFiD achine vision can be thought of as the “eye” of production and can come in handy in various operations, for example inspection or guiding automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Basically, machine vision addresses one key issue — that is, the human eye has limitations. “Say I have a production line with 10 laborers. The problem is each person sees things differently. Also, the human eye can get tired or fatigued, and mistakes can be made,” said Roger Wang, Senior Manager of Vision Business Unit
at Solomon. This is where machine vision can help. “With machine vision, we put the algorithm in the system, which applies a uniform standard to inspection, is less prone to mistakes, and never gets fatigued,” Wang noted. “Machine vision systems will continue to be the primary consideration for manufacturers who are looking to improve quality or automate production. They are built for visual inspection and control under demanding industrial applications

that require high-speed, high-magnification, 24-hour operation, and/or repeatable measurements,” said Bruno Menard, Program Manager for Embedded Vision at Teledyne DALSA. “Machine vision has the ability to perform repetitive tasks faster and more accurately, with greater consistency over time than humans. In addition, machine vision can reduce labor costs, increase production yields, and eliminate costly errors associated with incomplete or incorrect assembly.”
Basic components Typically, components in a machine system include: cameras (along with lenses and image sensors), lighting, frame grabbers and software. “There are two types of industrial cameras: line-scan cameras and area-scan cameras. More line-scan cameras are used in machine vision systems, since they can generate higher-resolution images compared to area-scan cameras,” said Hongsuk Lee, Business Development Manager at SuaLab. “Frame grabbers capture individual, digital still frames from an analog or digital video stream. Video frames are usually captured in digital form as it needs to be transmitted.” Meanwhile, 3D or depth cameras are also increasingly deployed in an industrial environment. “As opposed to traditional RGB cameras which take 2D images, a depth camera adds depth data to the RGB image, therefore providing further clarity and accuracy,” said Calvin Lee, COO of LIPS Corporation. Beyond hardware, software also plays an important role. “A good machine vision system is a system with high defect detection rate. To do this, good hardware must be installed to obtain good images, and the images should be analyzed with high-performance machine vision software,” said SuaLab’s Lee. “No matter how good the hardware

configuration is, if the image analysis capability is low, it cannot be a good machine vision system.”
applications Machine vision can be employed in different manufacturing operations, including inspection, orientation and robotics or AVG guidance. Inspection remains the most important machine vision application in factories, whereby the vision system can check for broken stitches, stains or other defects that are too tiny to be detected by the human eye. “The biggest influence on smart factory from machine vision technology is inspection area. Machine vision provides efficient inspection through image analysis of the products obtained in the process,” said Lee. “Depending on the industry and products, some have built a complete automation of the inspection process through machine vision, and some have used
Leveraging Deep Learning
Increasingly, and especially in the area of inspection, machine vision systems leverage the power of deep learning. “The system is fed with images of good samples and bad samples, and eventually it will make its own inferences, recognizing defects or bad spots on its own,” said Roger Wang, Senior Manager of Vision Business Unit at Solomon.

Hongsuk Lee, Business Development Manager at SuaLab, cited his company’s technology applied to the textile industry as an example. “We are the first company in the world to commercialize a textile unmanned inspection system using deep learning technology. It has been difficult to apply the machine vision system to the textile industry for two reasons. First, the background of the textile product is complicated so it is difficult to detect the defect with a simple rule-based algorithm. In addition, because the product cycle is short, there is not enough time to optimize the algorithm. To solve this problem, we applied a self-customizing engine to machine vision system so that it can detect undetected textile defects and quickly respond to fast product switching,” he said.
