Choosing the best pharma logistics partner in 2025: What services to look out for

by

Pharmaceutical firms usually operate across countries. This is why they need logistics partners that not only have local knowledge but also global reach. The logistics provider is one of the main links between the final user and the manufacturer of the product.

The role of a pharma logistics partner is to guarantee a seamlessly running supply chain. In the pharma industry, majority of the vaccines, medicines, and other biomaterials required for clinical research need stringent temperature control measures.

Divine Enterprises is a company that provides shipping services between countries while circumventing the local regulations. From following healthy safety laws to customs clearance, they take care of everything. [Read more…] about Choosing the best pharma logistics partner in 2025: What services to look out for

Building AI Agents That Respect Context: Lessons from Scaling Human-Like Support Across 10,000 Tickets

by

In the race to deploy AI-powered customer support, many vendors tout their bots as “context-aware”. But what does that really mean when the rubber meets the road in live support interactions?

The term often gets reduced to remembering the last message or maintaining a conversational tone. Yet, when scaling support across 10,000+ tickets, we learned that context isn’t a feature toggle, it is a design discipline.

One telling moment came when our team realized that the AI wasn’t failing because it lacked intelligence – it was failing because it kept forgetting. [Read more…] about Building AI Agents That Respect Context: Lessons from Scaling Human-Like Support Across 10,000 Tickets

The CEO’s Guide to Understanding Your Company’s Data Assets

by

Imagine discovering that your company has been sitting on a goldmine for years without realizing it. Not buried in the ground or locked in a vault, but scattered across servers, spreadsheets, and systems throughout your organization.

This treasure isn’t made of precious metals – it’s made of data. Every customer interaction, every transaction, every operational process generates valuable information that could transform how you run your business, if only you knew how to harness it.

Most CEOs understand that data is important, but many struggle to grasp its true strategic value or know how to unlock its potential. [Read more…] about The CEO’s Guide to Understanding Your Company’s Data Assets

Since 2021, technologists have marked July 16 as AI Appreciation Day. The holiday provides an opportunity to recognize how AI is transforming both our personal and professional lives.

One of the areas where AI has been particularly influential is in robotics. With AI at its core, robots can think, adapt, and act autonomously throughout different environments.

While this year’s celebration has passed, it’s worth recognizing the innovation driving AI and robotics year-round. These technologies are not only reshaping industries but also redefining how we solve global challenges. [Read more…] about Beyond AI Appreciation Day: The year-round value of AI and robotics

Unitree unveils new A2 quadruped robot with 100 kg load capacity and 20 km range

by

Unitree Robotics has launched its most advanced quadruped robot to date – the Unitree A2 – positioning it as a rugged and versatile platform for industrial deployment across inspection, logistics, and research applications. (See video below.)

Weighing 37 kg (81.6 lbs) unloaded, the A2 boasts a maximum standing load of 100 kg (220 lbs) and can walk while carrying up to 25 kg (55 lbs).

On a single charge, the robot can walk continuously for up to 20 km (12.4 miles) unloaded, or 12.5 km (7.8 miles) when fully loaded. Runtime can be extended via hot-swappable dual batteries designed for uninterrupted missions. [Read more…] about Unitree unveils new A2 quadruped robot with 100 kg load capacity and 20 km range

Robotics and Automation Leading the Charge in Water Purification

MIT scientists develop new system to enable robots to solve manipulation problems in seconds

by

By Adam Zewe, MIT News

Researchers have developed an algorithm that lets a robot ‘think ahead’ and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously.

Ready for that long-awaited summer vacation? First, you’ll need to pack all items required for your trip into a suitcase, making sure everything fits securely without crushing anything fragile.

Because humans possess strong visual and geometric reasoning skills, this is usually a straightforward problem, even if it may take a bit of finagling to squeeze everything in.

To a robot, though, it is an extremely complex planning challenge that requires thinking simultaneously about many actions, constraints, and mechanical capabilities. Finding an effective solution could take the robot a very long time – if it can even come up with one.
