A personal tech development and learning journey of an old school Electrical, Electronics and Electromechanical Systems Engineer (Manchester,UK) working thru the hedges and bushes to apply machine learning for industrial sensors and equipment (Industrial IoT? Industry 4.0 stuff?) .. unravelling the mystery of image recognition, voice control, time-series vibration prediction using CNN, DNN etc .. e.g. Tensorflow (Lite) and other machine learning ‘frameworks?’ thru self-learning with MOOC course platforms like Udemy .. with goal of helping our team develop and test integration tools and preinstalled support libraries for customers wanting to apply this modern ‘black magic’ to industrial or commercial applications.
So far, I have been learning so much about ..
Machine Learning concepts and applications in industry
Collecting and making sense of machine or environment data with sensors via Bluetooth, BLE & WIFI (our team are already with Modbus and CAN since 2004)
Testing monitoring applications using Tensorflow, Edge NPU/TPU
Working with amazingly tiny smart wireless development boards from
Silicons Labs, Seeed, ST, Google Coral, ArduCAM…
… loving the journey (and struggles) so far. Stanley
