This week: Behind manufacturing’s pivot from layered to network architecture. A new IoT solution helps reduce food waste. Digital signage and wayfinding tools streamline the guest experience. Why smart manufacturing is moving closer to the edge. Creating frictionless experiences for shoppers and travelers.
The Great Technology Stack Pivot: From Pyramid to Network Architecture
As manufacturing transformation accelerates, simplifying the technology stack is the order of the day. Intel’s Christine Boles and Frost & Sullivan’s Ram Ramasamy discuss why manufacturers must move toward a network architecture to properly use generated data, as well as the crucial role 5G will play.
Transparent Path Solution Helps Reduce Product Losses and Food Waste
In a world where food waste costs as much as a trillion dollars per year, Transparent Path combined IoT sensors with a shared, blockchain-enabled ledger to develop an edge-to-cloud traceability solution that monitors perishable food from farm to retailer—predicting freshness while preventing product losses.
Travel Boom Jumpstarts Demand for Digital Signs and Wayfinding Tools
Looking to make a post-pandemic comeback, hotels and event spaces are seeking new ways to provide safe, contactless, and efficient guest experiences. Intel partner 22Miles offers platforms for 3D wayfinding, 4K video walls, dynamic signage, and more to get people where they need to go.
Industry 4.0: Why Smart Manufacturing Is Moving Closer to the Edge
In the 4IR era, edge computing means quicker, cost-effective decision-making. Combining Intel solutions with Red Hat open hybrid cloud technologies, manufacturers now have a holistic solution comprising real-time shop floor control, AI/ML, and full IT manageability through integrated OT/IT systems.
Cutting Wait Times Through Technology
Now more than ever, shoppers and travelers want frictionless experiences. In this episode of “To the Edge and Beyond,” Intel’s Stevan Dragas and inefi’s Leonard Gilbert-Wines discuss how the two companies are leading the charge with technology that cuts retail and hospitality wait times.
