AGVS streamlines tasks in order fulfillment in logistics centers as well as improve safety in production lines. AGVs can perform more than material handling such as scanning barcodes and transferring the scanned data to the central cloud system. AGVs automate all the material handling tasks and remove the need for having workers to move materials w...

Conventional artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled processors are based on rule-based algorithms and are optimized for applications, such as real-time monitoring and reporting. However, with increasing demand for fully autonomous solutions, there is a need for perceptive solutions capable of making probabilistic decisions, replicating the human brai...

MIM is very cost-effective for manufacturing high volume complex parts. The technology allows varied industries to produce components with very minimal metal (material) wastage. MIM reduces assembly part count and the number of bond joints in a component. This reduces the requirement of an assembly process (machinery, equipment) and associated manp...

Designing existing system whenever a company manufactures products is time consuming and a complex tasks for executives in addition to other factors that impact successful product launch. Modular production system greatly simplifies production setup processes . This allows companies to focus more in the product delivery in its other key compete...

The outlook for the Central America and Caribbean economies is expected to stay bleak in 2020, registering technical recession in Q2–Q3 of 2020 and a full year recession for 2021. Local and global containment measures, along with the economies’ large dependence on tourism and remittances particularly coming from the United States, have led to a...

Economies in Asia-Pacific are likely to experience sluggish growth in 2020 on account of the unexpected ramifications of the COVID-19 outbreak. Regional growth is likely to remain stunted in H1 2020 due to the outbreak, but expected to pick up in H2 2020 as the lockdowns and travel bans are expected to be lifted. Key economies like Australia and ...

Quantum technology, which enables the manipulation of atoms and sub-atomic particles, will allow for a new class of ultra-sensitive devices with key potential to profoundly impact and disrupt significant applications in areas such as defense, aerospace, industrial, commercial, infrastructure, transportation and logistics markets. The ability to con...

Data storage technologies (DSTs) are evolving with the exponential rise in the demand for high capacity and secured storage systems in the recent years. This is mainly due to the change in technological perception in the global community, which focuses on facilitating simplified interaction with the latest innovations happening around as data forms...

The Americas are expected to record tepid growth in 2020, higher than that of 2019. Advanced economies such as the US and Canada are likely to witness an economic rebound in 2020. Other smaller economies like Panama and Chile are poised to grow as well. However, Argentina’s growth is likely to remain contracted on account of currency deterioratio...
