Maximizing ROI from AR Deployment
Jun 17, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Eric Abbruzzese posted in Extended Reality (XR) Technologies
Augmented Reality (AR) has an important role to play in the modern and future workplace—remote assistance, training, workflow guidance, and knowledge capture can all be realized with AR deployment. However, integrating AR into existing platforms has proven to be a formidable challenge to early adopters because of the complexity of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) cohesion. Ultimately, Return on Investment (ROI) from AR technologies will be heavily dependent on how seamless the integration process is.

Machine Learning (ML) is increasingly being integrated into edge computing solutions. ML at the edge improves the user experience via latency reduction, near-real-time data analysis, privacy, and security. Vendors are stepping up to the plate to provide services and platforms that streamline processes and reduce the time to market. In this post, you'll read about five examples of edge ML to better conceptualize this helpful combination.
Multimodal Learning Explained: How It's Changing the AI Industry So Quickly
Jun 15, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Admin posted in AI & Machine Learning
According to ABI Research forecasts, the total installed base of devices with Artificial Intelligence will grow from 2.7 billion in 2019 to 4.5 billion in 2024. Billions of petabytes of data flow through AI devices every day. However, right now, most of these AI devices are working independently of one another. Yet, as the volume of data flowing through these devices increases in the coming years, technology companies and implementers will take advantage of multimodal learning – and it is fast becoming one of the most exciting and potentially transformative fields of AI.
What is G.hn Technology? How Does it Compare to MoCA?
Jun 14, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Admin posted in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Wireless Connectivity
With smart home applications becoming ever-more popular, and with households making heavy use of streaming multimedia services, the growing demand for reliable, high-capacity home networking technology shows no sign of slowing down. As a result, Wi-Fi, which has been the dominant player in the home network market for years, may be facing some competition from two wired networks: G.hn and Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA) 2.5.
Smart Grid Cybersecurity Challenges: What Can Operators Do about It?
Jun 10, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Michela Menting
The benefits of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) are undeniable, as it leverages technologies like smart meters to provide real-time, or near real-time, two-way communication of information and energy levels between utility companies and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This provides a more transparent snapshot of an energy grid. Cybersecurity challenges in smart grids are a prevalent threat to the governments and privately-owned organizations replacing traditional energy infrastructure.
An Exciting Future For Exoskeletons
Jun 10, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Admin posted in Industrial & Manufacturing Technologies
When it comes to the robotics market, automation-enabling devices like cobots and 5G robots tend to garner a lion’s share of the attention. However, there is one technology that has flown under the radar yet is poised to make just as big of an impact – exoskeletons. By 2030, global revenues will reach more than US$3.9 billion in this emerging market, with industrial use cases being a major catalyst.
Managing the Electric Vehicle Supply Chain as an OEM
Jun 10, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Ryan Martin posted in Electric Vehicles, Supply Chain Management & Logistics
Forecasting where exactly the Electric Vehicle (EV) supply chain is going is a nearly impossible endeavor, with a wide range of unpredictable factors to consider, such as fuel prices, attitudes toward green energy, government policies, availability of charging stations, vehicle range, and vehicle affordability. One thing that can be concluded is that Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are going to focus on providing flexibility to consumers in order to gain market share. But the rapid development of so many new car models will place a tremendous amount of pressure on ecosystem partners that can’t meet demand in such a short time span, resulting in inevitable issues with the EV supply chain.
4 Advantages and Disadvantages of a Wireless Mesh Network
Jun 3, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Andrew Spivey posted in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Wireless Connectivity
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent work-from-home policies alerted millions more consumers to the world of Wi-Fi coverage extension. The most encouraging solution for residential Wi-Fi extension is mesh networks, promising a seamless system that is much more resilient than a traditional Wi-Fi network. By the end of 2022, there will be 33.9 million shipments of Wi-Fi mesh network equipment, according to ABI Research. By 2026, that number will be 59 million annual shipments, which signals the full embracement of this technology.
Beefing Up Fleet Telematics Hardware Security
Jun 3, 2022 12:00:00 AM / by Michela Menting posted in Quantum Safe Technologies, Smart Mobility & Automotive
Fleet telematics is one of the most important aspects of operating a modern business. Supply chain bottlenecks, such as delays and damaged goods, cost companies a substantial amount of money every year and telematics mitigates those risks. Unfortunately, connected vehicles present potential security vulnerabilities that bad actors may take advantage of. ABI Research recently looked at how Vehicle Manufacturers (VMs), which fall under the sphere of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry, keep their telematics data secure in the Secure Data Management in Automotive Telematics research analysis report.
