IT in Manufacturing printer friendly versionSpatial computing and AI – where no man has sustainably gone beforeSome will argue that we now live in a sci-fi world where we dream of electric sheep, and today’s technology – unlike HAL – can provide us with the answers we seek. To the realist it might seem a bit implausible, but when you start using terms like ‘spatial computing realises sustainable AI’ it doesn’t seem that far-fetched.

Blockchain technology goes by many names; game-changer, disruptive, futuristic and impenetrable. Names all well-deserved and valid. Initially associated with cryptocurrency, blockchain has well and truly come into its own and now includes health, transportation, disaster recovery and importantly, supply chain management. Indeed, with its ability to create secure and transparent networks, blockchain has the potential to reshape the way we manage supply chains.

What is a digital worker? A “software-based employee”, “category of software robots”, “a virtual employee” – all names which pop up if queried via search engine. And it’s somewhat ominous, anthropomorphising technology to make it sound more human, which it isn’t. But there’s more to it. Unlike generalist technologies, digital workers are trained to do specific jobs and become valuable members of human teams.

IT in Manufacturing printer friendly versionThis looks like a job for industrial AIFollowing a recent annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF), industrial artificial intelligence (AI) has joined the ranks of the world’s superheroes. The WEF announced that industrial AI has the ability to usher in an era of elevated efficiency, innovation, safety and sustainability, amplifying human knowledge to superhero foresight. It’s quite a statement, but also true.
