How the Internet of Things (IoT) is Revolutionizing Retail and Commerce

We are living in an era where we are fortunate to witness the perfect storm of innovation from technologies like Big Data, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoT), etc. As technologists and entrepreneurs, we constantly look for ways to bridge these technologies for building better products and services.

From brick and mortar stores to shopping malls, IoTs are changing the way the customers shop and interact with the business. IoTs can do varieties of things in improving the consumer & retail experience. It can help customers beat the checkout line and can also help business owners in building a strong business and marketing intelligence using the data collected onsite. Lets dig in and see how IoTs are getting closer to our daily lifestyle.

Edge Computing and Machine Learning for Better Low-Power Sensors

Edge Computing can be combined with Machine Learning to improve sensing accuracy, reduce decision latency and boost battery life of low-power, wireless sense and control devices. However such IoT systems are a largely unexplored realm. This talk will present an approach to creating safe, reliable and efficient low-power device networks that learn to improve their accuracy over time with modern machine learning techniques, while still keeping their power consumption low.

Connected Supply Chain: Driving Business Efficiencies Through Real-time Analytics

According to McKinsey and others, Digital Supply Chain levers, such as IoT, machine learning, and AI can unlock significant improvements across multiple dimensions.  Companies want to take advantage of these new technologies but are challenged with how to merge the new with the legacy planning, scheduling, and orchestration systems they have in place.  Furthermore, they know that creating new, point solutions results in dis-integrated data silos, watering down the integrated supply chain intelligence data they have today.  As well, such approaches are enormously disruptive to supply chain organizations.

Rather than the “rip-and-replace” approach, leaders in supply chain are seeking to inject real time, up to the moment data from the internet of things-enabled devices, weather, traffic, events, strikes, demand spikes, last minute supply changes into their existing data assets, systems, and processes.

Find out how an analytics-augmented supply chain is helping leaders analyze and assess the impact of events in real time, enabling them to assess and respond in a data-driven way in time to drive optimal results.
