As someone who works in the insights business, I think of all three. I picture a significant point in time that will likely require sharp vision in order to navigate it successfully. If I had to pick the biggest business topic of the 2010s, it would have to be digital transformation. But as the sun sets on this decade, we’re faced with a common narrative: ... Read More

Economic pressure is off the charts, business is moving at breakneck speed, and the amount of data available to most organizations is only increasing. While that combination of realities is overwhelming many companies, it’s also creating great opportunities for others. Take CFOs, for instance. Expectations for them are as high as ever—indeed, business partners still want and need accurate, insightful, action-oriented guidance—but so is the ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Anand Joshi. Computer vision has continued to evolve in recent years, and in many cases, the technology has surpassed the accuracy of human vision. It has enabled many applications that were considered science fiction just a short time ago. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been instrumental in getting computer vision to the level of accuracy that the market demands. Meanwhile, a new application for computer vision called video analytics has emerged. Video analytics basically extracts data from incoming video and generates results that are meaningful to humans. Over the years, many businesses have ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Glenn Sanders. Much has been written about collaborative robot (cobot) arms as the next big thing for robotics, manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics. Cobots are touted as “the” solution for smart factories and e-commerce fulfillment. However, an isolated machine doesn’t really make a factory smart. This is where software platforms come in, as they tie machine data and production data with the overall smart factory processes. This becomes even more critical when a large number of cobots are installed and operators need to monitor and manage production in multiple locations. Let’s look at how three of ... Read More

Most of these grippers have stiff metal jaws that operate repeatedly and with high precision. This is useful for rigid objects that are all the same shape. However, a solution was needed for grippers that can easily grasp delicate or soft materials or objects that vary in contour, size, or orientation. This is where a new generation of pneumatic grippers with soft jaws, fingers, and bellows comes in. Let’s look at a few examples below ... Read More

Feed: Domo Blog. Author: Bruce Felt. What does it mean to be a CFO in 2019? Something much different than it did even a few years ago, that’s for sure. According to McKinsey, the number of CFOs overseeing their company’s digital activities has doubled in two years, and they are increasingly asked to resolve business issues outside of the traditional finance function. I can certainly attest to that. Indeed, today’s CFOs are more than just accountants who report on what happens. As the role has progressively developed, their responsibilities have shifted. And using data is an integral part. In other ... Read More
