KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 (Bernama) -- UEM Edgenta Berhad (“UEM Edgenta” or the “Company”), the region’s leading Asset Management and Infrastructure Solutions company, through its subsidiary, Edgenta NXT will host ‘Cracking IoT Conference Chapter 2’, a key conference which aims to shed more light on innovations and discoveries from the Internet of Things (“IoT”) at the KL Convention Centre on 13 June 2023.
Together with its partner, Disrupt-X, a major global digital technology player, and TEKTELIC Communication, a premier supplier of End-to-End IoT solutions and Edgenta NXT will bring together leading experts in the field of IoT from across the globe to discuss its vast potential by exchanging best practices and knowledge on some of the world’s greatest technological advancements. IoT, which is a network of interconnected devices that can collect, transmit, and process data without much human intervention, has been regarded as a game changer for the future of mankind.
Disrupt-X, a leading global tech company noted for its solutions for smart cities, industrial applications, transport, and healthcare, is teaming up with Edgenta NXT to unearth further potential of IoT in the field of efficient utilisation of IoT devices to make the world a better place. It also aims to attain its aspirations by optimising the use of resources such as energy and water, inspiring endeavours that will certainly lead to cost savings and reducing the environmental impact on our planet.
Edgenta NXT’s efforts with Disrupt-X comes after the successful inaugural conference in Dubai last year as it is in line with UEM Edgenta’s goal to constantly find new ways to strengthen business offerings guided by technological advancement to enable society to prepare for the future.
“UEM Edgenta has always taken the view that IoT can provide tremendous benefits through efficient resource allocation. As such, we feel that IoT devices such as smart appliances and industrial robots can help reduce human efforts by automating tasks and processes that would otherwise require human labour,” said Syahrunizam Samsudin, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta.
“We intend to bring together some of the brightest minds in IoT for ‘Cracking IoT Conference Chapter 2’ because our primary goal is to help attendees discover the potential of the connected world and exchange best practices and knowledge. We believe that this conference will be a great opportunity for early adopters, start-ups, developers, and IoT strategists to learn from each other and make valuable connections,” he added.
“We see tremendous potential for IoT devices in the future that can improve the efficiency and quality of products and services, lowering operational costs and increasing the profitability of businesses and organisations. As such, we see increased usage in healthcare, asset management, building maintenance, education, agriculture and security besides their better customer experience because of their interactive and engaging nature,” he added.
Guided by its ‘Edgenta of the Future 2025’ vision, the company believes in the increasing role of IoT devices for decision analytics because they can generate and analyse large amounts of data and provide valuable insights and actionable information for decision-making across various business sectors.
The first 'Cracking IoT Conference Chapter 1’ was held last year in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”). Billed as the largest IoT event in the Middle East and North Africa, the conference was jointly organised with Intel Corporation and gathered 300 C-Suite executives in the UAE where they had the opportunity to learn from more than 40 global leaders in the IoT sphere.
