Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Whether you own a business or drive a car, insurance is important to protect your investments and prevent you from sinking in the event of a serious and costly accident or act of malice.
People need to address risk, so they turn to insurance carriers that offer the best premiums for their needs.
To do so, these carriers will have to improve their processes so they can better service their clients. [Read more…] about How AI is Changing the Insurance Sector
NXP Semiconductors has launched new devices within its KW3x range of microcontrollers (MCUs). The new KW39/38/37 MCUs add Bluetooth 5.0 long-range capabilities and expanded Bluetooth advertising channels.
These enhancements are made while offering seamless migration with hardware, software and tools compatibility with the previous generation of devices, KW34/35/36.
The connectivity MCUs allow Bluetooth LE devices to communicate at distances of more than a mile and increase the amount of Bluetooth advertising channels and advertising data within the Bluetooth standard, the predominant IoT protocol.

Kingetics, a small veteran owned startup company has developed and tested new technology that has shown significant improvements in protecting our soldiers as well as improving the gait of mechanical walking systems.
Load carriage and high impact forces on the lower limbs are often cited as leading causes of musculoskeletal injuries. Injury rates during military training range from 1 per cent to 16 per cent, and up to 30 per cent in elite infantry units.
Data from Podiatry Arena shows that there are about 32,000 broken bones per year during military combat, costing the US Department of Defense an estimated $240,000,000 in medical expenses. [Read more…] about Kingetics makes ‘big innovations’ in footwear-exoskeleton-robotic ambulation science
Fleet companies that operate cabs, buses, and coaches and companies that manage public trains and trams need to keep data on the number of passengers boarding and alighting for accountability. Earlier, manual counting was the only way to record such data.
But today, technology has really changed how things are done. These public transport vehicles are fitted with automatic passenger counting (APC) devices that will actually transmit the tally in real time to a remote location.
The availability of such technology is a big invention in the public transport sector that has brought numerous positive changes. Let us dive deeper into how the sector has changed through using APC devices. [Read more…] about Automatic Passenger Counters for Improving Public Transport
Moving your small business online is a great way to build your business brand and help open up brand new avenues to market your product or service.
However, opening your business up online can also leave you open to cyber-attacks, which means that in addition to developing a website and strong digital marketing strategy, you need to think about developing a strong cybersecurity policy.
While a cyberattack is potentially harmful regardless of who is the victim, for a business it can be even more damaging and potentially deadly. [Read more…] about The Importance of Cybersecurity in the Modern Workforce: 3 Tips to Protect Your Company
Agriculture in the future will see increasing use of scientifically precise farming techniques, where automated “agro-bots” monitor, treat and work the land, using advanced technology designed to help maximise yields and minimise disease.
With its extensive experience in automation and agricultural mechanisation, agritech specialist Yanmar is now showing the way in advanced field robotics research.
Time for change in our changing times?
It’s hard to think of a more important economic sector than agriculture. This is an industry that directly affects the lives of everyone the world over, despite being beset by challenges from all sides.
Changes in temperature and precipitation are influencing crop yields; farmers and agricultural workers are directly exposed to the effects of weather extremes, while millions more in food-related jobs are already feeling the impact of our changing climate.

ifm electronic has launched a new RFID system which the company says has long user-adjustable operating range, robust construction and choice of fieldbus interfaces.
ifm adds that the HF RFID systems in the new DTE60x range “are ideally suited to production line applications”.
The new units provide RFID antenna, evaluation electronics and fieldbus interface in a single compact module, which makes them easy to install, even when space is limited. [Read more…] about ifm electronic launches new RFID system ‘ideally suited to production line’
If you work in robotics, odds are you’re more interested in robots than data pipelines and cloud architecture.
Unfortunately, the latter are just as much a part of modern robotics as sensors and servo motors. If you hope to successfully develop and scale your robotics operations, you’ll first have to run the gauntlet that is building a cloud-based “backend” – the server side of the network.
Given the inherent complexity of this task, there are plenty of opportunities for oversight. So, before all else, it’s imperative that you and your team take the time to carefully consider and develop a plan of action. [Read more…] about 10 key considerations when developing your robot’s cloud backend
“Web scraping”, also called crawling or spidering, is the automated gathering of data from someone else’s website.
Scraping is an essential part of how the Internet functions, and it has traditionally been the backbone of many companies’ marketing, lead generation, and market intelligence efforts.
In fact, many online services, large and small, use scraping to build their databases, all of which are worth hundreds of billions of dollars. This article will answer the question – is web scraping legal? [Read more…] about Essential Legal Issues Associated With Web Scraping
In simple words, a virtual private network keeps the identity of a user discreet. It uses several networks that are a far distance from each other. It uses several security protocols to maintain the confidentiality of a person.
In today’s time, security is of paramount importance, and users don’t want to be stalked by anyone. There’s no escape from the fact that VPN security has become the need of the hour.
In changing business environments, it has become important to maintain the security of information that is transferred over the internet. [Read more…] about 4 Benefits of Using Virtual Private Network
