Payment technologies are one of the most important things banks and financial services can pay attention to. These technologies are how customers make their transactions and bridge the consumer-brand bond. But it’s crucial to understand how consumer preferences evolve and how various market dynamics influence demand for physical and digital payment technologies. In this article, I’ll walk you through the following:
March 3rd is known to the global health community as World Hearing Day. The World Health Organization (WHO) created this event to recognize the roughly 20% of the world’s population that lives with hearing loss. That’s more than 1.5 billion people!
Fiber optics are the apex of data transmission technologies. Using a flexible, transparent optical fiber constructed from silica, fiber optic cables leverage photons to pass network information at around 2/3 the speed of light. Being the fastest and most vigorous backhaul networking solution, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have made fiber optics a mainstay for supporting 5G deployments in the face of increasing networking needs of consumers and enterprise use cases. In this article, you’ll read about four high-bandwidth applications that would greatly benefit from fiber optics.
A smooth-sailing railroad industry is integral to a prosperous economy—responsible for transporting goods and people. If, for example, America’s freight railroads were to shut down for one day, the economic loss would be, at the minimum, US$2 billion. Given these factors, a cyberattack and subsequent train shutdown on a railway operator’s network could be devastating. To meet these increasingly common threats, transportation cybersecurity vendors are key.
In the pharmaceutical supply chain, the margin for error is razor-thin. If there’s a disruption to the delivery of critical drug products or medications, patients' lives, overall health, and well-being could be at stake. Unfortunately, operational vulnerabilities arise as the pharma industry grows tremendously and becomes more globalized. This article highlights five pharmaceutical supply chain challenges that could be remediated with Internet of Things (IoT) track and trace technologies.
More than 50,000 technology innovators and decision makers rely on ABI Research for deep insight and analysis of transformational technologies and key markets. In addition, we also provide an impartial and expert perspective on the companies that are shaping these technologies and industries.
Despite volatile economic conditions, the manufacturing industry is continuing its push for the “smart” digital factory. Some of the pressures spurring growth in digitalization include labor shortages, sustainability goals, and increased demand for products. In our manufacturing industry outlook, we highlight 6 significant trends that manufacturers and technology suppliers should think about as it relates to a 2023 game plan.
In chemical manufacturing, potential failure can happen in many operational areas. This is because of the complex nature of chemical production and the large number of assets deployed in a chemical plant. To reduce the frequency of manufacturing inefficiencies, the chemical industry should invest in digital transformation. Beyond operational efficiency, digital transformation in the chemical industry helps companies meet other agendas, such as workplace safety, sustainability goals, and tackling labor shortages.
