…They also need to search through BI dashboards or excel/Google sheets so they can further dive into details. Some of the most obvious personas that need access to data are data scientists, developers, and roboticists. These roles typically want data within their tool in their preferred format, such as Jupyter Notebooks or logz.io, to gain a better understanding of the data, debug an issue, or optimize their autonomy. Serving as the first line of defense, tech support also needs data to provide efficient responses to customers and improve the uptime of the robot. Formant provides a default visual for these…

…of clustering in the feature space, think of how Google connects websites and pages by running algorithms,” Raichelgauz explained. “We created a matrix of connectivity. While most random signatures won't match, some will, such as for red traffic lights. We let our algorithm analyze them and then cluster those with strong internal connectivity and then subsets of signatures. One signature can participate in many clusters. The system then inspects every cluster and then isolates only the neurons in the context of that cluster.” “With self-segmentation—organizing data around commonalities—we can then identify semantic sequences,” he said. “This increases generalization and isn't…

…can both receive SMS alerts, email notifications and even Google notifications for every movement a shipment makes. Combined with the upcoming electronic logging devices (ELD) mandate, the use of smart tech to track last mile logistics will grow. 4. Analytics Will Drive Last Mile Logistics Costs Down The amount of information coming from automated systems and smart technology can have another purpose when applied through analytics. Analytics allow supply chain entities to isolate the cost-impacting factors across all shipments. Although subtle changes may not have a major impact on initial costs, data analytics provide a means of pushing costs to…

…members take advantage of all of them?'” “We've had Google, Microsoft, and other big companies come to us asking, 'Why do we have to join multiple associations?'” he recalled. “We decided that we are stronger under one umbrella. It will include things such as a whole community for artificial intelligence.” “A3 is the front-facing brand for all 1,100 members, which will be better for the media and general public,” Burnstein said. “It will be easier to drive traffic to one website and tell our story to companies we'd like to engage with as members.” In addition, the consolidation will make…
