Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning solutions offer large possibilities to optimize and automate processes, save costs and make less human error possible for many industries. Food and Beverage is not an exception, where it can be beneficially applied in restaurants, bar and cafe businesses as well as in food manufacturing. These two segments have common use cases where AI in the food industry can be applied, as well as different ones, which is linked to different problems that must be solved.

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Lewis Wynne-Jones. A few years ago I took a call from an analyst at a hedge fund who was looking for external data that would, in his words, provide “alpha.” I explained that our company was connected to thousands of data sources and hundreds of thousands of public datasets; I told him that we were continuously pulling in open data from 70 countries, standardizing it through an ingestion pipeline trained against the largest catalogue of public data in the world, and serving it up via a suite of APIs that plug ...

As the implementation of smart factories surges forward, more companies are becoming aware of the growing importance of and uses for collaborative robots (known as cobots), according to a new report from Tractica. Still, a gap exists in understanding what these robots are as well as the implications for businesses.Large company adoption of cobots is already occurring and benefits such as lower costs, increased safety, flexibility, and personnel efficiencies are the key driving factors for cobot demand in small and medium enterprises as well. More startups are entering the industry with new user-friendly cobot ... Read More

Driving authorities around the world are encouraging – or mandating – the deployment and use of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) for safety and traffic management, according to a new report from Tractica. The arrival of 5G brings enhanced capabilities for C-V2X using the dedicated spectrum set aside for intelligent transportation applications and network-based automotive applications of many kinds.However, vehicle connectivity is an extremely complicated topic. The number of standards bodies, industry associations, and technology vendors is very large. There are also many vested interests – political as well as commercial – and a long legacy of ...

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Keith Kirkpatrick. According to a recent report published in the journal Nature, researchers and scientists at Google claim that a quantum computer performed a computational task that would be impossible for a conventional computer to complete. Thus, it demonstrated what is known as “quantum supremacy” for the first time ever. According to the report, Google’s 53-qubit Sycamore quantum computing machine was able to finish a computing task in 200 seconds. This was significantly faster than the 10,000 years it would take the world’s most powerful supercomputers to accomplish the same task. However, as Google acknowledges, ... Read More

Data center infrastructure, specifically computing, memory, storage, and networking, is in the process of going through a reboot to support the growing artificial intelligence (AI) market, according to a new report from Tractica. Though AI represents just a small portion of a cloud data center’s workload and an even smaller portion of an enterprise’s workload, it drives a different type of application profile and thus requires different architectures and components.Advances in technology have played a major part in enabling AI expansion and market penetration. In turn, AI applications are driving the development of new ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Glenn Sanders. Most robots and collaborative robots (cobots) have a fixed configuration and structure. This works well for the applications for which they were designed. But what if the owner wants to use the robot for a new application? It would be useful if the joints and shape of the robot could be reconfigured when needed. Modular robots provide the solution and the flexibility to meet the needs of smart factories, as well as client expectations of shorter turnaround and customization. This is the idea behind modular robots. Let’s look at a few examples. Modbot ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Keith Kirkpatrick. Automation is the key to gaining efficiency in many industries. But for some types of work, basic automation, often referred to as robotic process automation (RPA), won’t suffice due to the complexity of the tasks. These can include assessing and analyzing content, finding patterns in data, and making decisions based on those findings. The legal industry is one vertical market that is ripe for increasing automation, particularly with respect to the review and analysis of legal contracts. While some information in a contract can be considered standard or boilerplate, most contracts contain very ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: sherrilhanson. The market for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as a drones, is starting to realize its potential for commercial applications. Major players in many industries and government agencies have already taken the first steps to evaluate drone solutions and systems, according to a new report from Tractica.The demand for commercial drones is being driven by such factors as expanding industry use cases, affordable hardware and services, high definition (HD) aerial imaging and sensing, integrated data intelligence, and the rapid ROI that drones provide to major industries. Tractica forecasts that the commercial drone market ... Read More
