Tracker with Edge AI Motion Analysis​

Overview

Protect Valuable Assets with Real-Time AI-Powered Motion Monitoring

Track, monitor, and protect valuable assets with a motion-sensing solution powered by RA MCUs, Reality AI, Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) from Renesas, and the Hubble Network.  

This application combines real-time sensor data acquisition with AI machine learning to detect, classify, and report critical movement events such as drops, shakes, impacts and abnormal handling conditions. The classified events are transmitted wirelessly to Hubble Network, enabling continuous asset visibility and shock-event monitoring from anywhere.

Solution

Intelligent Edge Monitoring for Asset Tracking

This real-world asset tracking application utilizes an accelerometer, embedded AI, and Bluetooth LE connectivity to create a smart edge node that continuously monitors asset movement.

How it Works

Number 1 within a blue circle.
Motion Detection

An accelerometer continuously measures movement and vibration.

Number 2 within a blue circle.
Edge AI Analysis

Reality AI analyzes sensor data directly on the MCU and identifies motion patterns such as drops, shakes, circular motion, and impact events.

The type of patterns depends on the trained models for this application.

Motion is identified and classified into meaningful events, reducing unnecessary data transmission and cloud processing.

Wireless Reporting

Classified events are transmitted using Bluetooth® Low Energy beacon broadcasts to the Hubble Network IoT infrastructure.

Remote Monitoring

Asset status, handling history, shock events, timing, and location can be viewed remotely through the Hubble platform.

Customer Benefits

  • Faster event detection based on trained models
  • Lower wireless bandwidth usage
  • Reduced cloud processing costs
  • Improved battery life
