RubiAI

• Face Verification: Face verification is available in Rubistudio under RubiAI. It is used to recognize a human face from an input image

Rubisight

Rubisight

• Home
  • Home dashboard presents insights from data. It displays the total number of IoT device registrations and the status whether the device is active or inactive
  • The dashboard also provides the total number of devices, favourites and statistics in various graphs.
• Manage
  • Alerts - Alerts are generated through the pre-configured rules. All the alerts are displayed in a single table to be analysed by slicing and dicing.
  • Locations - This is the physical or logical location of the IoT enabled devices. Things can be tagged with the location by filtering.
  • Data Templates - Ability to define the structure of the data packet sent by the IoT enabled devices. It can be used for the validation purpose so that garbage data cannot enter the system.
  • Things - Things are the IoT enabled devices/sensors which can be registered with the system and then later can be commissioned to send the data. Selection of the data template and location is must while registering any IoT enabled device/sensor.
  • Groups - Groups can be created based on the tags assigned to the Things. It is used for the purpose of logical grouping of the Things.

• Rules - Rules can be configured for the Things to get the alerts for the desired scenarios. The system generates alerts whenever a data value crosses the set threshold set.
• Hierarchy - A high-level view of all the Things as per the locations assigned to each Thing. It enables the user to understand which things are located at a given location.
