How KYC Automation is Transforming Client Onboarding

by Leave a Comment

Back in the day, onboarding was a process that had to be done face-to-face, at a brick-and-mortar location that had a computer system hooked up to a program that could be monitored and checked for compliance.

The Know Your Customer (KYC) platforms have changed that old traditional system in some substantial ways. Changes that are the best for companies and consumers alike.

When you combine an automated system to the KYC platforms you gain a winning combination that will speed up all the processes involved in every transaction. [Read more…] about How KYC Automation is Transforming Client Onboarding

New Robotic Cleaning Technology for Shipshape Hulls

by Leave a Comment

Technologies never fail to improve, and the new robotic cleaning tech for shipshape hulls proves that! Hull cleaning remains a tough job as ships need to take refuge in ports to perform them. The marine debris accumulated in time damages the hulls and, in extreme cases, can lead to environmental damage.

For example, stricter hull cleaning will increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Yet, this is where the Norwegian company Shipshave comes into action with its newest development! [Read more…] about New Robotic Cleaning Technology for Shipshape Hulls

Automatic Automotives: Why Newer Tech Parts Cost More to Repair and Replace

by Leave a Comment

Cars have gradually become more complex over the years. The newest models contain tech parts all over the place. Some items keep systems functioning correctly. For instance, engines/exhausts now sport sensors that relay messages to onboard computers.

They are configured to ensure the motor runs nice and smoothly. But if these pieces malfunction, you’ll probably know it. That’s because symptoms like black/white smoke escaping the exhaust, poor gas mileage, or a rough idle could present themselves.

Meanwhile, you’ll find tech parts advertising driver-assist and safety features. They tell people when to correct their driving or automatically make adjustments to prevent accidents. What about that infotainment system with the touchscreen on the dash? [Read more…] about Automatic Automotives: Why Newer Tech Parts Cost More to Repair and Replace
