EPF’s Inaugural IT Day – Oct. 9, 2017

September 24, 2017 – UTM Skudai – Center for Communication and Technology (CICT) in cooperation with Advanced Telecommunication Research Group (ATT) of UTM conducted a Workshop on “Internet of Things Hands-on Experience” using FAVORIOTrecently.

This is probably the first series of IoT Workshops that will be hosted and trained by the experts from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The attendees are from within UTM (Staffs and Students) including people from the industry.

The excitement and compelling need for more IoT professionals are growing steadily in Malaysia. UTM will be a good anchor University in down south of the Peninsular Malaysia to grow the IoT talents in relation to the needs of the Industry 4.0 and Smart Cities plans in Johor.

ATT comprised of a great research team that focused on IoT for many years. They have developed products such as:

• TelG
• Smart Door Access
• Smart Home System
• Poultry Farm Wireless Monitoring System
• Spine Monitoring

“We need Generation-IoT to help build our nation. We can’t have the attitude of wait-and-see as the Third Wave of Internet Tsunami hit us. Thus, the new generation must be equipped with the right technical skills and understand how to develop an IoT business case. Using FAVORIOT platform will the beginning of their IoT journey in developing innovative solutions”, said Dr. Mazlan Abbas, CEO of FAVORIOT.

We have launched the Beta FAVORIOT Developer Program in early May 2017 and is now ready to go for commercial. With the recent partnerships with 15 Malaysian Universities and 1 overseas University, FAVORIOT is now poised to become the leading IoT platform provider in Malaysia.

FAVORIOT has also partnered with several training partners (UTM, MyDuino and Trity Technologies) to offer hands-on courses on IoT using the FAVORIOT platform. However, for developers who can learn by themselves, they can check the full documentation at FAVORIOT’s website.

FAVORIOT offered a very affordable pricing plan as shown below:

The Beginner Plan is very suitable for University students who have been assigned or chose IoT project as their Final Year Project. A single device such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino that collects from several connected sensors can stream to the IoT platform. A simple dashboard is provided to visualize the measurements. This plan is also suitable for an individual developer or hobbyist that would like to familiarize with IoT platform, conduct self-learning or participate in IoT Hackathons. At RM 8.33 (or less than USD 2.00) per month, you can become the next Generation-IoT and on your way to be one of the rare talents in the job market today!

The Startup Plan is perfect for Freelancers or SMEs or Startups to provide IoT solution for a medium size project up to 150 devices. In fact, they can also create multiple projects or applications but limited to the total number of 150 devices.

The Business Plan is great for developing big commercial IoT project. It can support up to 300 devices for many smart applications. However, if a company requires connecting thousands of devices, they may contact/email their customised requirements to sales@favoriot.com
