General information
- Short Summary
- “JOI” is an innovative edge-based AIoT platform that allows users to specify desired functions while the platform automatically manages device control. It eliminates the need for users to understand the intricacies of each device and facilitates easy device replacement and integration. As an edge-based system, JOI enables the creation of smart spaces without relying on the cloud or internet connections, ensuring both privacy and convenience.
- Full Description
-
A spin-off from a research lab, this organization specializes in IoT platform technology, AI acceleration, and robotics software. Its mission is to transform any space—home, office, car, or building—into a smart environment with advanced IoT technologies and aims to evolve into an AIoT robot platform, connecting mobile IoT devices like robots.
The flagship platform simplifies IoT by letting users specify desired functions while autonomously managing devices. Unlike traditional platforms, it uses a proprietary scripting language to create scenarios in everyday language via apps or voice commands. Operating without internet connectivity, it functions as an IoT operating system, handling device registration, fault detection, and scenario scheduling. Its patented "real-time service mapping" ensures optimal device usage, resolving conflicts and maintaining functionality during faults.
The platform is cost-effective, compact, and supports various wireless protocols, making it versatile and user-friendly. By eliminating the need for cloud services, it ensures data privacy, promotes IoT adoption in regions with limited internet, and enhances security and inclusivity.
The organization targets both B2C and B2B markets. For B2C, it empowers individual users to customize spaces securely through edge devices. For B2B, it partners with IoT solution providers to simplify device management and enhance competitiveness. With its unique internet-free functionality and privacy-focused approach, this innovation opens new market opportunities and democratizes access to smart technology. - Advantages and Innovations
-
JOI stands out in the IoT market with an edge-based solution that overcomes many limitations of traditional cloud-based systems at an affordable price. Its key advantage lies in its ability to operate independently of the cloud or internet, enhancing security, privacy, and reliability in environments with limited connectivity or sensitive data requirements.
Built on Raspberry Pi-based edge devices, JOI handles tasks such as device registration, fault detection, and application scheduling.
