BUKIT JALIL, Sept 11 (Bernama) -- More technology solutions for tackling environmental issues are in the pipeline, said national applied research and development (R&D) centre MIMOS.
Among MIMOS’ solutions for the environment include Internet of Things (IoT)-based systems for peat forest management, flora and fauna protection and river quality monitoring.
MIMOS Chief Technology Officer Thillai Raj said emerging technologies such as IoT, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics can play a central role in ensuring sustainable development and healthy communities across the globe.
“Prolonged dry spells and burning of agricultural waste in forest reserves have often caused bushfires in many parts of the world including Malaysia, and haze is just one of the consequences,” he said.
“There are also increasing poaching or encroachment activities in forest reserve areas, as well as issues in river water quality in some parts of the country.
“Technological advancements do not only drive businesses and industries. They are also the planet’s best hope in helping to solve environmental issues,” Raj said.
