…of digital technologies have tended to center around efficiency gains but added that now companies are starting to see how digital technologies can improve on factors such as faster deliveries and cycle times. Increasingly, she added, technology providers are helping companies quantify the value of factors like faster deliveries. “The pace of supply chain innovation over the six years of our survey is truly astounding, creating real and measurable competitive advantage for early adopters,” commented Prest in a statement about the 2019 report. “With supply chain complexity showing no signs of slowing, the risk of inaction is only growing. Leading…

…a 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace vendor. “Customers have different channels to gain access to us. So this is another channel,” says Cronin. On the other hand, Fictiv is not part of it. “Fictiv does not belong to any such marketplace and does not plan to join in the future,” says Evans. “Our vision is to build a single destination for manufacturing needs from prototyping to production.” Xometry offers plug-ins for SolidWorks and its rival, Autodesk Inventor. The software-embedded connection allows SolidWorks and Inventor users to perform manufacturing checks and cost analysis early in the design process, from within the CAD software itself.…

…fleets. As 5G networks become more prevalent, cities will gain invaluable access to real-time, end-to-end visibility into their transportation systems. 5G could allow enhanced vehicle-to-vehicle communications (V2V), a key component to improving road safety in the emerging world of driverless vehicles. It is essential that V2V communications take place in real time, as a matter of milliseconds could be the difference between a close call and a fatal collision. Achieving this high speed of interconnectivity requires vehicles to transmit large amounts of data between each other without any lags. 5G networks could make this possible with their low latency. 5G…

…potential occupational change rather than net employment losses or gains. Special attention is applied to digging beneath national top-line statistics to explore variations by industry, geography (metropolitan area and state), and demographics (age, gender, race/ethnicity, educational attainment). Key findings include: Demographic variation: Young people, men, and underrepresented groups, particularly Hispanics and blacks, will face pronounced difficulties as a result of automation’s disruptions - an underexplored viewpoint in the current coverage of automation. Geographic unevenness: Some places will do much better than others in dealing with the coming transitions. Places such as Las Vegas, Louisville, Ky., and Toledo, Ohio are among…
