Every month there is a blizzard of information

contained in the emails and newsletters that cross my desk on their way to AutomatedBuildings.com. Some of this information is not in the form of any type of content we can publish but I feel I should share with you these snippets, blog bits, Tweets, LinkedIn posts, and URL links that are about to fall off my desktop.

Daily LinkedIn shares and posting I daily post links I feel are of interest and will shape our future.

Also, http://automatedbuildings.com/ maintains this LinkedIn online blog for the magazine, a great place to interact.

On a daily basis I tweet as @Ken_Sinclair https://twitter.com/Ken_Sinclair 

We tweet links of interest and maybe become part of our rapid industry evolution.

I also write a column twice a month for Contractor Mag

But I still have stuff falling off my desk I feel I should share.

5000 +views The Digital Buildings project is an open-source, Apache-licensed effort to create a uniform schema and toolset for representing structured information about buildings and building-installed equipment. A version of the Digital Buildings ontology and toolset is currently being used by Google to manage buildings in its portfolio.
The Digital Buildings project originated from the need to manage a very large, heterogeneous building portfolio in a scalable way. The project aims to enable management applications/analyses that are trivially portable between buildings. This goal is achieved through a combination of semantically-expressive abstract modeling, an easy-to-use configuration language, and robust validation tooling. Digital Buildings work has been inspired by Project Haystack and BrickSchema, and maintains cross-compatibility and/or convergence as a long-term objective.

4300 +views  We are not only looking at a skill shortage gap, but also the skill transfer/knowledge transfer gap.

So much is going on in the world of wireless as more people and devices connect through the air instead of through wires. Wireless is changing rapidly, with 5G, CBRS, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E initiatives on the horizon (not to mention the increased reliance on connectivity brought on by COVID-19 earlier this year).

OCR—also commonly called automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) and license number plate recognition (LNPR)—takes alphanumeric characters that are visible to the human eye, like those on license plates, checks and passports, and makes them electronic. Correct identification of these various characters can help organizations more accurately perform functions that were previously subject to human error. It can also help accelerate the speed at which computers and readers can perform the task. Combined, these can help organizations become more efficient.
