At SORACOM Discovery 2026, the IoT Prototyping Corner featured three employee-built prototypes. The 'I wanna IoT Trap version 2' allows remote activation of a box trap via cellular communication. An automatic ordering system uses camera and AI agent to restock consumables. A door monitoring system tracks entrance status and notifies Slack. The corner, now in its fourth year, aims to solve everyday problems with IoT.
SORACOM Discovery 2026, held July 7, included an IoT Prototyping Corner where employees demonstrated three projects. The corner, which began in 2023, is meant to turn small ideas into working prototypes using off-the-shelf products and SORACOM services. This year's exhibits show practical improvements over earlier versions.
- I wanna IoT Trap version 2: Evolved with cellular communication and increased motor torque for remote activation.
- Automatic Ordering System Before Stock Runs Out: Uses camera and AI agent to autonomously order consumables based on context.
- Entrance Door Open/Close Monitoring: Monitors door status and notifies Slack via IoT button and magnetic sensor.
