Driving the future: How AI will shape the fleet industry

by

Artificial intelligence (AI) is simply an intelligent machine.

Unlike a human’s natural intelligence, AI is where a machine has been programmed to possess intelligence which can help make jobs and tasks easier for us.

It’s used in many industries, but one where it is already present and going to thrive further is in the fleet industry. [Read more…] about Driving the future: How AI will shape the fleet industry

The Advantages of Including Facial Recognition in a Mobile App

by

Imagine the benefits to your business of including facial recognition in a mobile app. Let’s start with this idea:

Dale Carnegie said, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest, most important sound in any language.”

Envision your staff being able to recognize your most important customers’ faces immediately, then greet them by name as soon as they walked into your establishment. [Read more…] about The Advantages of Including Facial Recognition in a Mobile App

Old Versus New Robotics: How Things Are Changing

by

The history of robotics is a long one, with roots in ancient Egypt as far back as 1500 BC. While the “robots” of those days are far from being able to exhibit the intelligence of robots today, it is still worth mentioning.

However, the beginning of the evolution of modern robotics as we know it can be traced to France with the innovation of a robot duck. The duck could flap its wings, quack, and do some other basic duck-ly things.

And today, we have robots working in every sector of human society, making contributions in the smart and efficient manner that only robots can manage. [Read more…] about Old Versus New Robotics: How Things Are Changing

How AI Could Boost Business Customer Service

by

From forecasts to spam filters, artificial intelligence has long been used to help companies across industries. Within recent years, it’s begun to play a key role in a major business area: customer service. 

Though it’s widely seen as a human-led sector, this form of tech could simplify a number of B2C tasks, likely boosting overall client experience as a result. In turn, this may very well improve brand reputation as well as profit turnover.

Let’s explore the main ways in which AI stands to enhance customer service within a business. [Read more…] about How AI Could Boost Business Customer Service

How artificial intelligence is powering cybersecurity

by

Technology progresses daily and with this progression come threats and risks to social, financial and economic life.

Today, cyber-attackers have resorted to the use of automation to launch more frequent attacks on different businesses and corporations.

While cyber-attackers are expending a lot of resources to launch more sophisticated attacks, many organizations still rely on manual efforts to gather internal security findings and contextualize them with external threat information.

Cognitive Solutions Leverage the Power of RPA

by

One of the biggest trends right now is “leveraging” or “scaling” RPA’s reach by adding a cognitive element to the process.

Nadin Kraus from Teva Pharma, expert speaker at the 4th AI & RPA World Summit 2019, reveals why you should have an eye on this trend. Read the full report.

While RPA’s growth trajectory has been fairly steep – implementations jumping from 9% at the start of 2018 to 32% at the start of 2019 –  there are limitations to what it can do on its own and organizations are running into hurdles in trying to scale.

Festo looks to AI to make automation more profitable

by

Festo is looking to implement artificial intelligence systems to make automation even more productive and efficient.

The company says it currently offers intelligent component and process monitoring. But Festo intends to further increase the productivity of its customers by means of self-learning machines.

The company is relying here on AI at three network levels:

  • on edge;
  • on premises; and
  • in the cloud.

In addition to the complex services that can be offered in a cloud, Festo sees great potential in simple real-time data analysis by means of AI – either directly on the field component (AI on edge) or in the control of either the system or a production plant (AI on premises).

A new type of robotic ‘brain’ could transform modern factories

by

By Richard van Hooijdonk

Industrial robots like the ones that assemble Tesla vehicles or Nokia’s 5G base stations are a sight to behold.

They’re critical for manufacturing automation and lead to improved product quality, shorter cycle times, and decreased production costs.

So, it’s no surprise that the global industrial robotics market is expected to reach a whopping $97.41 billion by 2026 as investments in this technology ramp up. [Read more…] about A new type of robotic ‘brain’ could transform modern factories
