Nova Scotia LiDAR mapEmpowering the Workforce of the Future with IoT and AI - Steve Liang 1

May 25 to May 27, 2021

Geospatial technology has continually advanced over the past several years and high quality multi-dimensional mapping is now available to a much broader audience. There is growing interest in LiDAR technology for mapping natural disasters, forestry, flood mapping, and much more, Join us for a 3 day online conference where we explore LiDAR and other mapping techniques.

Empowering the Workforce of the Future with IoT and AI – Steve Liang
Dr. Steve Liang

Steve Liang is a researcher, teacher and entrepreneur. Steve is the founder and CTO of SensorUp, offering a NATO-award winning Geospatial IoT cloud platform that interconnects the world’s IoT data empowering the connected workers of the future to apply intelligent automation for productivity, safety, quality, and job satisfaction.

Dr. Liang is a global influencer on the Internet of Things, and he is the working group chair of several international standard working groups of the Open Geospatial Consortium and UN’s ITU-T. Additionally, he is a professor and research chair at the University of Calgary, director of the GeoSensorWeb Laboratory, and a lab scientist of the Creative Destruction Lab.

Steve was recently named the Rogers IoT Research Chair, a five-year research chair position sponsored by Rogers Communications. A recipient of numerous awards, Dr. Liang has received Calgary’s Top 40 Under 40, Killam Emerging Research Leader Award, and more.

Steve discusses his vision for using Internet of Things (IoT = sensor network) data, including geospatial data, and intelligent automation (affordable, accurate enough predictions) to help workers focus on tasks requiring higher-level judgement to improve safety, productivity and decision making.

He presented a general process flow model that derives predictions from sensors and previous learning, communicates predictions and outcomes using maps, and recommends tasks for worker decision making. He presented applications of this process template including solutions for retail sales, process management, and health and safety monitoring automation.
