Sprint said the distributed and virtualised core network, allied with a dedicated IoT operating system for managing devices...
As the summer ends, the weather worsens. For some, the changing seasons bring devastating storms. Their shadows grow ever-longer, and the risk to life grows ever-higher. Last year (2017) saw some of the worst natural disasters on record, with earthquakes, fires, flooding and landslides.
By...
Germany has made its move in the international AI arms race with state support for tech start-ups, a ‘JEDI’ innovation network with France, and backing for its ‘Cyber Valley’ set-up from industrial giants including BMW, Daimler, Porsche, and Bosch.
The German government is to create...
Investor confidence in the burgeoning industrial ‘internet-of-things’ (IIoT) market is up, reckon industry commentators.
A slew of enterprise funds and venture capital has been staked on the sector’s growth in recent months, as vendors have got a better grasp of the technology and industrialists have...
In terms of digital technology, computer vision is as old as the hills. In popular terms, its theory of expanded machine consciousness emerged just as Bob Dylan and The Beatles took a more experimental musical turn.
It has its roots in a 1966 summer holiday...
Lenovo and Pivot3, a provider of ‘hyper-converged infrastructure’ solutions, have struck a deal to develop and sell edge computing products for smart city security. The city of Bogota, in Colombia, has already hooked up 3,000 surveillance cameras to their new system.
Much of the growth...
Deep learning is a machine learning method that uses multiple layers of nonlinear processing units in cascade. It can be supervised, for things like classification, or unsupervised, for pattern analysis and more. IBM’s Romeo Kienzler prefers to use the term Cognitive System: “A cognitive...
Dell Technologies will release a number of pre-integrated and pre-tested computer-vision and machine-intelligence bundles for its resellers to more easily cater to certain edge-computing and internet-of-things use cases.
The bundles, billed as secure and scalable, offer storage, security, network and data management, and orchestration. They...
UK telecoms provider BT is to underpin the delivery of flood response mechanisms with an ‘internet of things’ (IoT) platform for the Environment Agency in England.
BT has been contract by infrastructure and support services company Stobart Group, as part of its four-year project with...
Data does not always tell the truth; machines lie. Algorithmic bias means fairness and equality, the ultimate promises made by technology to re-write the rulebook, remain relative.
“Data reflects the social, historical and political conditions in which it was created. Artificial intelligence systems ‘learn’ based...

The appetite for new digital technologies is growing among manufacturers, with certain brands in certain sectors in certain regions experiencing a considerable uplift in performance. But the take-up of smart manufacturing solutions remains tentative, as companies are unsure how to start with digital change...
New definitions of terms used in data management, edge computing, and IT/OT convergence appear in the trade dictionary for the industrial internet-of-things (IIoT), published by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC).
The new edition of the Industrial Internet Vocabulary Report, version 2.1, also clears up confusion...
From the perspective of big data, the proliferation of internet-of-things (IoT) devices has dramatically changed the way businesses handle data processing. According to BI Intelligence, the velocity of IoT adoption is only set to grow faster. It estimates $70 billion will be spent by...
United Technologies has bought Atlanta-based predictive analytics software company Predikto for an undisclosed fee. Predikto’s software will be deployed across its business units to drive efficiencies in its manufacturing operations and dynamism in its product design.
United Technologies, based in Farmington, in Connecticut, owns jet-engine...
London start-ups are being technical support to develop and scale their artificial intelligence (AI) projects.
The Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s centre for data science and AI, will host a series of five-day ‘hackathons’ to help UK innovators, based in the capital, to nail down...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key asset in the continuing effort to derive greater value from business processes and business models in general.
While much of the attention AI has garnered has centered on digital services and applications, the technology is also driving significant enhancements...
Gold mining is like manufacturing in reverse. Instead of putting things together, you smash them up, mix with chemicals, and dry them out. Every process can be tuned with data, and the result is… a product: pure gold, worth AUS$1,300 per ounce.
The application of...
Momentum is building, fast, for smart manufacturing. Here, Enterprise IoT Insights presents five use cases from five leading industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions providers. Also, look out for the report and webinar on smart manufacturing, published on August 22.
