  • Tracker with Edge AI Motion analysis

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