About

Hairulazwan Hashim’s research bridges industrial automation and assistive technology, with a focus on real-time communication systems and accessible engineering solutions. His most cited work, a 2007 study on Ethernet-based industrial communication networking, examines how modern networking protocols can be adapted for real-time data exchange across all levels of factory automation—particularly at the controller level where latency is critical. This foundational paper has garnered 7 citations, reflecting its relevance to the evolution of industrial IoT and smart manufacturing. More recently, Hashim has applied his engineering expertise to healthcare robotics, as demonstrated in his 2020 paper on developing a motorized wheelchair board using an Arduino controller. This project illustrates his commitment to creating low-cost, practical assistive devices that improve quality of life. By integrating embedded systems with user-centered design, Hashim’s work contributes to both the theoretical understanding of industrial networks and the tangible development of accessible mobility aids. His research trajectory—from factory-floor communication protocols to microcontroller-based assistive devices—showcases a versatile approach to solving real-world engineering challenges, making his contributions valuable for students and researchers interested in automation, embedded systems, and inclusive technology design.
