"I tried out SAP IoT" by Masashi Otsuka (@sapsumikko on Twitter)
The speaker is famous blogger as "sumikko in SAP world".
He presented the Teched sessions summary of IoT area and also tried to build a solution to track his daughter by GPS.
The TechEd HandsOn is about IoT and Edge Services.
The example is to process shipping using IoT sensor device and to detect and inform sales representative for the abnormal vibration and temperature by sensor device.
I had ever heard about that similar situation is happened to ship medicines using cold storage container. But once reached to the port and stopped without power supply and the medicines are not kept in the designated environment to keep the quality.
He recommended to try the IoT Edge Services HandsOn, which is still available to execute only with trial account.
自分自身もIoTセミナーなど受けたので、やってみたいなーと思います。
I personally took an external IoT course and would try one.
Session 4 コロナ対策:紙の証憑はもういらない! Document Information Extraction SAP AI Business Services (SAP関口←筆者)
"No more paper invoices in this Colona situation! - Document Information Extraction SAP AI Business Services" by me ( Yasuko Sekiguchi)
Abstract 概要
このセッションでは、SAP AI Business Services と呼ぶ、Machine Learning のサービスをいくつかの業務的な用途で汎用的に使用できるようにパッケージ化したものをご紹介しました。
In this session, I have shared the overview of SAP AI Business Services, which is packaged Machine Learning services, to be generally consumed for many business purpose.
Document Information Extraction (以下DIE)以外にもいくつかありますが、今回紹介したDIEは自身が過去に数回関与したCo-Innovation プロジェクトで開発されたという経緯もありました。
There are some AI business Services other than Document Information Extraction (hereby DIE), I choose this is because I was involved in the co-innovation project years ago.
DIE は、事前定義モデル。Invoice Document を読み込むことを目的として開発されています。文書書式は縦型のみ、横書きにはまだ対応していません。
DIE is a pretrained ML services developed to OCR-extract invoice document mainly. The supported format is portrait, landscape is not supported currently.
To cover the other document types such as Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, it is needed Co-Innovation Approach to train the model with 10K documents per new document type.
There were an obstacle to train the new document types with annotate the extraction fields by translating into position in a certain manner. This was a huge manual efforts. The annotation is covered by user friendly tool. This is progress from the past PoC.
I was not able to introduce due to time limitation, but I have also tried beta feature to create new template. Which is only available via customer collaboration project.
There might be more precise validation would be needed in business use, but please feel free to try and propose it to use at your customer project!
