Find out more again, you will not be disappointed, you're just going to be happy.

Hey there, and welcome to industrial talk. And thank you very much for your continued support. Once again, we were on site at the IoT Solutions World Congress, Barcelona, you can tell by the noise in the background, it was a hopping event. And I want to make sure that you put this on the calendar there, the next installment, the next IoT solutions World Congress is right around the corner. It is at the end of January and you must and you must put that on your bucket list to attend. You get great people like the conversation we're going to have with both Javier and Carlos, we're gonna be talking about IoT, of course, AI, simulation, digital twin, all on this particular conversation from IoT solutions World Congress, and you'll get to know that Carlos and Javier, they know what they're doing. So enjoy the conversation are you guys doing? Well? Yes, yeah, I like it a lot. I'm excited to be here. Yeah, you should be because it is exciting out there. You both are legends. Phil Hoffman said I needed to talk to you because you guys are doing things that are really cool. Before we get into that topic. Let's, let's talk a little bit about background. Javier. You must background

02:43

Oh, yes. My name. My complete name is hilarious. I'm the CTO of Aingura IIoT. And my gut. My background is mainly mechanical engineer. And I have a PhD in artificial intelligence. So from there, we have started eight years ago, this line of applying artificial intelligence to the industry. So we are moving on that, on that on that line. And, and that's how we are bringing things real things to real life.

03:16

So, so forgive me, I didn't call you doctor Javier. Because the card that I have is that you scribbled on Javier on somebody else's business card. So next time

03:26

I run out of run out.

03:34

Yeah, it is. That's a good yeah. That's that's a whole nother debate. That's for sure. Are you just starting?

03:49

All right, Dr. Carlos. Just call me Carlos. Yeah. Okay. I'll tell you, Carlos. Just like my notes. Well, it's on your card right there. And I figure Okay, yeah. Well,

04:01

I mean, it was on for business. Right. That's right. People just upon right. So let's

04:07

Carlos Toro. Yeah.

04:11

Well, okay. I'm also a mechanical engineer, right, by my definition, right? Difficult mechanical engineer who transform into a machine learning specialist. So I did my PhD on machine learning, right? Um, that's kind of interesting, because it allows me to see both sides of the story, right. But the physical thing is, I understand that right? Because I was there in the shop floor. Right. But then to try to understand how the computer we're modeling, right, that's the other side of story. And this is what we're bringing here. Right? So I'm currently working in the company which is Research Center and our office space in the Basque Country. Beautiful, beautiful place.

04:48

Did you say the

04:53

Basque museum

04:54

my wife as well. She's Basque family was Basque. Oh, yeah. Whoa, oh, yeah. Oh, cool. So we're gonna have to get Yeah, I'm telling you.

05:04

Yeah, well, it's coming from my contract.

05:07

It is it is kind of interesting because the region is so vivid, so much industry, so much research, right is very, very interesting. And, well, 20 years ago, they found it, some of election and the TV broadcasting, television broadcasting quality, they funded research center to do all things related to this conversation and computer science. Back in the day, you will never call it machine learning or artificial intelligence, somehow. Now we're doing it now. We call it the right way. Right. And this 20 years, we've been supporting the industry from the research perspective, right, helping them to understand the problems trying to solve their problems to some sort, given some technology, here and there. Working with companies like Agoura to develop technologies with them as well. And it's been it's been it's been quite a road, right. Quite quite quite a row.

06:09

Okay, so I like it. You can tell they get they have stray Hey, there goes my wife, Basque. We're doing a podcast now. But we're doing a podcast right now. We're recording as we speak, but I had to tell you that he's from he's the bass. She's taken a picture of us. So what was interesting that built hop and brought up is that you guys you have there's there's this there's this real solution that exists out there today that are solving problems and delivering value. Yep. And, and you've created that sort of environment that, that platform that whatever you want to tap that bed over here, Javier, give us a little background on what that is?

06:57

Yes, I'm actually I will start with wilderness monastery that is interesting. Our name Angra angora is a buzzword for uncle. So we are, we are trying to bring all these technologies that we have around all these things, artificial intelligence, connectivity, edge computing, we are trying to, like bring it down to the real edge genetics, from our, let's say, from our ad ADM, from the company to our parent companies, they are mainly industry. So all of us are working in really huge industrial environments. So we understand and we are able and because we are, let's say our background is more mechanical or more the people inside the team or let's say traditional engineering, disciplines, that you can find in, in, in an industrial environment, we are able to understand and to bring those technologies to let's say all these those technologies that are on academic papers, or I don't know, in ideal situations, we are trying to bring them down, change them as decided in order to provide to the end user what they need. They don't need a machine of the IoT machine or industrial industry that further though machine they need a machine that has a high availability, or they have high quality or, or other needs. So we use we use use all these tools together in order to solve those specific,

08:28

specific Yeah, I would imagine I need a machine that doesn't create a headache for me if I'm a manufacturer, and I want it simple. And I want to be able to say, okay, if I'm pretty simple in my needs, I've got a problem. I want a solution. And I want inside so I can make sure that that problem is managed properly. Carlos. So how does that how does that fit in with what you guys are doing?

08:52

Well, actually, that's quite interesting, right? Because when we started doing this, we were looking at, okay, what is the digital? Right? Yeah, what is the definition of a digital picture? And how can we can build something so anybody can understand something very simple, because you can use digital twins for many things, right? Complex, right? So we came up with the story, right? storyline, that storyline that this does, it doesn't necessarily has to be something that you will find this is not a product that we're selling, right? It's something that will showcase our capabilities. Our collective is something that is showcasing things that we have done to these many years doing research and to be shown in in a very, let's say, manageable way, very controlled way, but that can deliver this and this is this is what we are bringing here to the world to Congress rice is basically a pick and place no where a robot will pick one element from conveyor belt and he will show it to the camera. But up to that point that is a real thing. That is something that you may find in many, many industry facilities, right? But when we have extended that, which is with the augmented reality approach where you just wear your Oculus glasses, you are somewhere in the world, right? And you are remotely controlling the robot, right, you're doing the visual inspection, right? Then you can rotate, you can move around your ears, you can actually get closer to it, and then you will value, right. So we deliver all everything, all the technologies, all the physics that have to be in a model, all the communication that needs to happen from the from the PLC is etc, etc, to the virtual model. And also, he put in that technology that they were has for energy consumption. So we are giving the information about the energy consumption at every single point in time of the cell. So the person somewhere in the world doing the verification, the remote verification process can actually know how effective is how green is his, his operation, right? Which is very important for the carbon footprint, right? Yeah. And this This is, a lot of technologies are out there, right? Like, for instance, when we were doing the communication, right, you can wire right. But of course, we want it to have it in a wireless approach, right? Because theoretically speaking, the person doing the verification is going to be somewhere in the world. Right. So we were testing some 5g technologies in our center, and say, why not? This just use 5g? Why?

11:30

Because Absolutely, why? Why not? Why? Why complicate things? Right? Yeah. Why say? Yeah, we can do 5g, and we can hardwire and we can just just put the connectivity and just say 5g, that's it, we're done.

11:42

It was a little bit late. So when we call the first like, Okay, we want to we want to put the 5g Amateur transmitter out there, and we want to do 5g There. Right? And they were like, Sorry, do you need permission from the government to do that? Then we said, Okay, we will get it. And we got it. Because we are partnering with, with some companies in the qualification work that they have bands. So Massimo will give us their, their their band for three days. Here, we are using their bands here, right now. It's in these these things are amazing, because all these companies are helping us right to deliver the message, right? And showcasing that these technologies are here, right? And it's not difficult for you to apply those technologies, if you know how to do where to do on which buttons to be pressed. Right? And it's about the trip, it's about the road, it's about how to do it.

12:37

Do you think that, you know, we all understand the bad side of COVID, we all understand. But I think the good side of COVID accelerated a lot of the conversation here, it's like, hey, we need it. We need to have that business to be able to be resilient or whatever, I can't get out there because of whatever reasons, but I need to still look at that. And I and I, like I said, the good side is the fact that it accelerated on us. And those conversations, were less human and hot, and more. We need it. What do we do? We're ready to go. Even if it's going to be painful.

13:15

Yeah, it's like, just the other day I saw these these mean, on the overhead who dropped the digital transformation of your company. COVID-19 Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Because it was a nice to have right and now it's a must have.

13:32

I gotta tell you, I I agree with you 100% Now, hobby or what do we have out on your the floor here? What is the what's the model what are we doing? What if I went up to your your booth What can I do? Well, and

13:47

let's say nothing our growth we have an integration of different technologies that are making this possible. And we are trying to mimic real applications actually is just an I like to say like that is it says more model of a larger deployment doesn't have at least in some in some levels in in a real airport. In a baggage inspection system, where we are able to well in this in this in this model, we are able to mimic all their conveyor belts and part of the say interesting and and really easy to to find it for example, in industrial environments, conveyor belts are everywhere in an industrial plant. So we have a small and a small version of it. And from it, we are trying to extract all the interesting things that we have all the technologies that between decom tech and ankura Manage really good. So, we are we are seeing from from that scenario, we are extracting data that is able just to do some analysis related with energy consumption, with maintenance, but we also have other types of datas. We have a robot that is doing some manipulation of it. Were able to have fun Measurement about quality. And it's, of course, quality is related to the, to the inspection, as you are able to manipulate manipulation of that system of that of that element, you're able to, to inspect, and you're able to do some, let's say, reject the PC, if it is, if it's not, okay. And in, let's say, a really simple, okay knock a system that you might find in an industry. But of course, with this integration on a high level, other digital, where you are able to just integrate all this information, all this data is coming from your system. And the human in the loop is able to take decisions related to all those different environments, the human is able to introduce in that in that in that in that world, in the digital twin unable to see the piece that you are manipulating the decide on this quality, but also you are able in the same place, you are able to decide on the energy consumption or in the maintenance of your of your system. Let's say that that's my my my point of view from the let's say, industrial park, but maybe Carlos is able to give us a little bit more insights on that on that system.

16:18

The question I have, and we're going to venture into that, but the question I have to and along with all the other bad things with pandemic, I think that there was also a an accelerated need to collaborate. And that these technologies, these insights is this ability to be able to create innovative solutions. Because of that, then all of a sudden, you know, Javier and Carlos are talking together, and they're saying, Hey, we can, and there's that collaborative approach to solve a bigger problem or whatever it might be. That to me is that there's this compounding effect that exists with this technology, as well as this, this recognition to be collaborative, right? Of course, you don't have all the answers. Yeah, that's natural. That's it? That's right. Yeah. So how do you deal with that? And I have to ask, how did you guys come to know each other? If that is the way that it's like, you know, you're over here doing your thing? You're over here doing this thing? What how did you guys come to?

17:20

Well, first of all, maybe

17:22

you want to tell the story, but I will just give a summary. We are coming from the same city. And we have really common interests. And of course, we are in different companies. But the similar interests that we have just pushes us to work in this way. There is a little bit it's a little bit tricky, as we have actually like a personal relation. But from the point of view of companies, we combine perfectly on the technologies, if they're speaking about digital twins, or about all this beautiful modeling and all of this, you know, no, we done so. And we can just compliment each other on that. Yeah, I

18:05

like to think that you you will meet people that is meant for for for you right in the roadway. And even in our in our business problems, right. We come from the same city, but we never met. Right? See, that's just until we start working together. Right? I was looking at research, how he was recently joined a company, but we were working on with we were we were actually visiting a customer for a project, how it was, I guess, I guess your first project, then we realized that we were actually coming from the same city that we were married to Basque women, and that we had some kind of things. And, yeah,

18:49

that's how it is. If you want to close deals, that is where it happened. Yeah, that's that's the that's the bottom line. So as we we wrap this up a little bit. This is to you, Carlos, where do you where do you see it going? This is just This is just the tip of the iceberg? Oh, yeah. I mean, this this, this technology, the solution? This is just, this is just beginning stuff. For us. This

19:13

is a starting point. Just historically, we've been thinking about things that we will build surrounding this test, but Right. In fact, in the DPC, right, but also to include more components, right? To make it more appealing to demonstrate more technologies, right. And by no means this is ready. I mean, this is just the initial, the starting point of what can be in the future. Right.

19:41

I'll tell you, that's a whole nother conversation of just for me, just, I don't circle around the watercooler like you guys and you're talking about hey, did you know what we could do this now check this out. This is new. I was reading here. This is good. We got to talk. I don't do that. Let's say I'm just, I'm a manufacturer, I have challenges. And I'm just looking for a solution, right? And I think that it's important to be able to simplify the message and the value proposition so that I want to do it without the headaches and uncork it. And I think you guys are just, you guys are just nailed it. And again, I'm gonna go over to your booth, and I'm going to see that augmented reality. And I'm going to play around it because Phil Hoffman said I needed to and by the way, he's, he's up next and he's stuck at my wife, my wife with best heritage. Oh, all right. How do they get a hold of you, Javier? How do they if somebody says Javier was speaking my language, how do I get a hold of Javier?

20:42

How do we get on the phone? It was difficult. Because

20:47

you got this lousy business card that you read, wrote on somebody else's business card. So what's your what's your email address?

20:54

My email address is JD s at Angular iot.com.

20:58

Very good. And Carlos, how did they get a hold of you? Oh,

21:01

you can follow us in our network. We can support my email, see Dora that contact dot o RG. But I think it's not going to be very difficult to find out.

21:14

Well, because you know why you're gonna be out on industrial talk and I'm gonna have a backlink to everything. And so listeners, you want to get a hold of them go to industrial talk.com Or just listen to what they said. And you just sort of reach out to them and and you will not be disappointed. Absolutely. stellar job hobby or, or hobby. Hobby. Bolts are doctors that don't want to be called doctors. Alright, listeners, we once again are broadcasting live from IoT solutions World Congress, Barcelona is the country. No, Barcelona is the town. How dare I say country? Anyway, you need to put this on the market unless you get to meet great people like Hobie and Carlos, they are in it to solve problems and make your life a better. Big time. Big better. All right. We're gonna wrap it up on the other side. So stay tuned, we will be right back. You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network. All right, once again, that is Javier. That is Carlos. They're talking about AI for industry. They're talking about digital twin. They're talking about simulation. They're also even talking about augmented reality. All on this particular interview. It was fantastic. All right, you can tell. I'm pretty passionate. I'm very bullish about the IoT solutions World Congress and your participation. You get to connect with people like Carlos. People like Javier and companies that are truly focused on solving problems and have a desire to educate, collaborate, and of course, innovate.

We were also very fortunate to run into Rahul Saxena, CTO and Co-Founder at AiDash. And I'm telling you right now they've got incredible technology, helping utilities deal with their maintenance challenges around the world. It doesn't matter because they do it from the sky. Enjoy the conversation with Rahul. Hey, how you doing?

01:44

Doing great. Glad to be here, Scott.

01:46

Pretty cool. We're back in sort of person. That's for me. I like it. Yep. He's got a great booth over there. A lot of buzz over there, too. Yeah, that's right. You know, that's, that's always a good thing, right? Yep. All right. For the listeners out there. Let's talk a little bit about Rahul and and give us a little background, then we're going to start talking a little bit about AiDash for the individuals that don't know anything about it. And then we're gonna start talking about some interesting news that exists with AI data. So give us the background revenue.

02:17

Sure. So hi, everyone, Rahul Saxena. I am co-founder and CTO at AiDash, dash, we use the technology around satellites and AI to solve problems around operations, maintenance and sustainability for companies which have distributed assets, namely power utilities, which this conference is all about. So we have different products around the asset management, like vegetation management, we offer IBMs, or there is something around encroachment into gas and electric utilities. And then we have a couple of words around sustainability say,

02:51

see what's interesting about it, I enjoy the fact that that leveraging satellite, in conjunction with an AI platform allows utilities, specifically here, just because we're at distribute tech, utilities have a better insight, better capabilities for managing assets from a vegetation perspective. Is that sort of an accurate statement? Am I leaving anything out there?

03:15

That's absolutely correct. So So vegetation management specifically is a big issue with utilities. There is a huge, yep. Yep. So we have a product, which is live and currently being used by 50 customers all over the world, family in us.

03:31

For for the listeners out there when we start talking about vegetation management from a utility perspective, but what is the typical spin for utilities?

03:41

So typical spend for utilities, depending on how big their distribution network and transmission line network can be anywhere, not from couple of millions to you know, 200 million or more worth of annual spend.

03:55

And seeing and that's typically, typically from my my history, real reactive to a certain extent you try to plan. But the reality is, is that other things sort of take precedent, you just don't. It's a sort of a unique, unique situation. And here's a solution that says, Now you go over here, that's the here's the reason why, and then don't worry about over here. And they were able to really direct resources, valuable resources in a way that makes sense. So that's, that's, that's pretty good. All right. There's other things. It's not just vegetation management, we're talking about AiDash with the solutions of satellites and the AI component. What else can we do with it? What else like what, what other value can we gain from that? Like there's a you guys have a press release? You're expanding your capabilities?

04:51

Sure. Yeah. Let me get get straight to it. So yeah, so yeah, apart from these products, so we today earlier today announced the next product. So again on the asset management side, yep. So apart from vegetation management, now we are getting into things around disaster and disruption management. So there are a lot of Disasters are happening, they were like around 15 disasters just last year, causing a havoc, which took almost like a $1 billion kind of spent. Right. So that's kind of a diamond. So, so so. So well, while you're working the satellite, and AI and other products, we felt this technology can really be used to solve these use cases, which are really becoming very important for utilities.

05:32

But given an example of let's say, Me from Louisiana, we had our hurricane. And of course, everybody's, when power's out, people are not happy. So how does the solution that AiDash provides help with that disaster, and in the recovery of that?

05:53

Sure. So for any storm, there are three stages, before, during and after. So what we do is before the storm, typically utilities will get into great hardening and greater resiliency activities, you want to make sure the storms, the poles are all okay, you replace the poles, which are not good. Maybe set up some flood gates, you raise the height of the substations, we do all that stuff. So that's, that's what you do before. So using this product, so we have a great hardening module, where you can plan all these activities, you can do prioritization, you can do management, you can have an app which can use now you see certain field workers in the field and track it all in one place. So that's the prevention. So predict and prevent kind of a stage where you use, you know, satellite imagery to predict and then use this module to prevent it, then as you get closer to the storm, so typically, our model starts predicting the storm and the impact 72 hours before the storm. So usually, that has been a challenge so far. So the sooner you know, you the better you can plan, you can deploy the resources correctly, you can actually, you know, get the right resources much in advance. So we have a resource prediction module as well. So it gives a extent of damage, which is predicted based on the outage. So it takes into account different things it takes into account, what was the you know, damage based on the previous similar storms, it takes care of the weather data to figure out the, you know, what could be the damage caused by the new storm, you take all that into account and come with a damage prediction, as well as a resource or climate model? So you can do all that, right?

07:32

I, that just makes so much sense. If utilities, and this is always a conversation I'd have with people is like, okay, here comes a storm? Did the utility do their part to strengthen that grid? You don't know? You know, I don't know. I don't know if those conversations are happening. Or in many cases, in the case of Louisiana, we find that here's a storm, here's another storm, and it's hard to even get ahead of that grid, you know, strengthening component because we're just trying to get the power backup. Yep. But I'm always fascinated by during like, our last storm, how do they determine where to deploy the resources, where, you know, everybody starts coming in from different states saying, hey, you need help. Here we go, we got some lineman blah, blah, blah. To do that, effectively, that just means for me as a consumer, my power gets up sooner.

08:28

Exactly. So so the idea here is we take into account the weather data, and we try to work with different vendors, which can get us satellite data in near real time, real time is not possible. But you can get near real time. And you know, as we learn more and more about your GPS, as we work with different customers do different pilots and take them to production, we learn more and more the model gets keeps getting more accurate. So you can do a better predictions as you go along. And after the storm has passed, again, you can do some scans from satellites, you can use our app and web component to track this real time that is tradition activities, and try to make it more efficient.

09:01

As seen, and of course, we're after the storm, right? You know, you're okay, so you got to the satellite, you're looking at it, you're saying hey, oh, this is this has impacted this has impacted you could sort of hold off here. You can make those those predictions, those tactical decisions, which is very good. But then it just sort of loops right back to grid stabilization, because he just had now it's after stabilize it, and then you keep on learning as you keep on going. And so ideally, correct me if I'm wrong, that the impact over a period of time will be less. I'm not saying it's gonna go away. There will be power outages, there will be vegetation and for whatever flying into poles, whatever it might be, but you can have a greater confidence that maybe the impact will be minimized.

09:50

So that's exactly right. So apart from these three modules, great heightening preparedness, and then the the resolution of the A repair work, we also have a module called retrospect, wherein you can, you can analyze, you know, what you predicted and what you actually saw. So over a period of time as more than most on some happened, you learn more. And you can also generate your regulatory reports from there.

10:14

And you know, what's great about this is the fact that me consumer, I can be a manufacturer, I can be whatever I mean, it doesn't matter. I'm a consumer of power, I want reliable power, I want to know that the utilities are using all the tools available to be able to ensure that the power is delivered. And I see the use of satellite AiDash, all of that in conjunction is only a and the ability to just have that bird's eye view that ability to say yes. And then taking limited resources money. Yeah, and deploying it properly. That's a heck of a solution. I'm all giddy about it.

10:58

Sure, yeah. So we're excited as well to, you know, solve this big, big issue.

11:02

And where do you where do you see it going? Because Because I see there's a velocity with technology, I see that innovation is like really fast. I see. Use cases being developed as a result of going Yeah, I saw that I got this and we just put them together. Now we have, where do you sort of see where AiDash is going and what's been what's happening there.

11:21

So I think from as we have our earlier product around vegetation management and coastline management are now this new launch with DDMs. So we're trying to, you know, manage everything around the assets at scale. Right. So the idea is to get into all these different issues, whether it's vegetation encroachment disaster, so have one solution, which you know, has different products, where you can link everything together. So for example, we do vegetation management, so if a customer takes our vegetation management product, as well as DDMs product, so we already have the vegetation data. So sometimes they might want to combine their plant so as so that let's say they have a vegetation plan, which is a plant, which is planned out, and a storm comes at it, you know, the plan goes on, right? So you can have the DDMS pick data from vegetation and you know, make sure both the plants are in sync.

12:07

I'm telling you, man, you guys are at the cutting edge. I love what you guys are doing. And it's it's impressive. I I can't say that enough. Because being an old guy like me, we used to just be real reactive with our asset management. And I mean, real reactive. It rained and so he just like, Oh, I gotta go out there and trim trees. Or, hey, the storm came through seems like a branch felon or whatever, you know, it doesn't matter. How does somebody get a hold of you and just love exactly what you guys are talking

12:35

about how they get selected is the best place to reach out to me and I'm

12:39

very good. All right, listeners. Rose the man. Hey, I dashes the company. I will have all the contact information for AiDash Rahul out on industrial talk.com You need to reach out to this company. It's fantastic. They're doing great things and it never stops. You guys never stop. Because you guys just sort of eat drink this stuff on. Exactly. sort of sad and good. Thank you for doing it. But anyway, all right, listeners. We're gonna be right back. So stay tuned, we will be back with another great conversation shortly. So stay tuned. You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network. All right.
