Analytics is the global key

The old practice was to study the analytics from a historical perspective but in today’s marketing scenario, we need analytics that present a forward-looking view. There is more potential in data and analytics. Thus, that’s what the McKinsey Global Institute’s partners Michael Chui and Nicolaus Henke share their views with McKinsey Publishing’s Simon London. The age of analytics: Competing in a data driven world is a new McKinsey Global Institute research report in which Nico and Michael are among the co-authors of it. In the McKinsey Podcast, according to them data and analytics is important for customer engagement and satisfaction because a lot of data is available, connections are many and there are many understandable machine techniques and languages through which it’s easy and comfortable to analyze data and to take decisions differently. The data analyzed must be organizable in the ways needed. The data must be such that it develops helpful use cases.

Digital twin technology: a topic of importance in the era of big data

Digital twin technology is actually the virtual replica of physical devices. This technology can help us in manufacturing, energy, transportation and construction. The complex items like aircraft engines, offshore platforms, trains and turbines can also be constructed and established digitally before being physically developed. These digital twins could also be used to help with maintenance works. Let’s say, technicians can use digital twins for testing. So, how it works? How it gets started? What are its applications?  Why it is important to us?

Android holding the reins of modern life!

Seems like android has been around for an extremely long time. The fun fact about android is that android was originally made for digital cameras. Android has transformed and evolved a lot over time. There are a lot of different versions, and every version of Android is a code name, which many people use instead of the version numbers like Android8.0-8.1, Oreo,Android7.0-7.1.2,Nougat:Android6.0-6.0.1,Marshmallow,Android5.0-5.1.1, Lollipop. Each one is named after a dessert or some other form of confection, which is more for fun than anything else.

Outsourcing the crowd

Technological innovation occurring all across the countries has made it easier to crowd source it to provide with better and faster services, funding and navigation. Powered by social media, new tech and web 2.0, Crowd sourcing is a sourcing model by which it engages a ‘crowd’ or group for a common goal — often innovation, problem solving, or efficiency. Being a blend of two words- crowd and outsourcing, there is no doubt that crowd-sourcing is helping various organizations to tap new ideas and solutions in order to encourage deeper consumer engagements, co-creation opportunities and reduced costs. It cuts across various dimensions and enhances all social and business interactions. Not only it is used by private organizations the way they work, hire, research and market but also by Governments to empower people and to enable them to voice their opinions in crucial matters of the country. Crowdsourcing also has the potential to revolutionize the system by touching across various fields such as science and technology and education.

How merging big data, IoT and cloud computing can lead us to a better future?

The buzzing technology giants, big data, IoT and cloud computing are completely separated disciples. But the union of these technologies is leading us towards an advanced version of our world. According to IDC, “Within the next five years, more than 90 percent of all Internet of Things data will be hosted on service provider platforms as cloud computing reduces the complexity of supporting the Internet of Things ‘data blending’.” Nowadays IT sector is shifting itself from product orientation to information based outcome orientation. The coupling of these technologies is helping our healthcare industry to become smarter, advances in self service analysis, beneficial for industrial IoT, adoption of edge-computing and so on.

What is the need to replace RPA implementation with OCR?

The enormous amount of data is increasing day by day. But, unfortunately it is reported that the inability to analyze the current data obstructs the businesses to take advantage of the services.  With the use of OCR (optical character recognition) our collected data makes some sense. OCR depends completely on manual checking. Instead of using OCR we can implement RPA (robotics process automation).

So, how we can use RPA? For more information go to:

Visualising a three-dimensional from a two-dimensional snapshot

The world is really moving at a fast pace and is revolving around artificial intelligence. Do you think is it possible to have a three dimensional figure just by looking at a two dimensional figure? Yes, it is possible. The researchers can make a three-dimensional figure just by having few two-dimensional figures. But this system which they have made is not available for commercial applications. This system can be used for self-driving cars and household robots. This system has a very good grasping power as it is able to learn in a very smart way from little observations.

Barcelona: sensors said shut-up to noise-makers

The plaza del sol in Barcelona has become a place of hangover for the young generation. People spend their leisure time and also party with friends. This has become a problem for the residents staying in that area. To curb this, one of the laboratories has developed a sensor that can detect the noise levels, temperature and air pollution. The lab developed this sensor which was low-cost and easy-to-use. Families installed these sensors in their balconies and detected night time noise levels to be exceeding 100 decibels. Mr. Tomas Diez who runs the lab said that he desires to make a project named Fab city which will be a collection of 18 cities from Europe, America, India and China. This project aims to create cities which will be sustainable and self-sufficient to meet their needs.

Latest development of Artificial Intelligence

Researchers at MIT have integrated AI with Radio Waves for visualizing people on the other side of the wall. While it sounds like the kind of technology a SWAT team would love to have before kicking through a door, it’s already been used in a surprising way—to monitor the movements of Parkinson’s patients in their homes. The radio signals that they use are very similar to Wi-Fi but a little less powerful. The technology  depicts the people in the scene as skeleton-like stick figures, and can show them moving in real time as they do normal activities, like walk or sit down. But how does it work?

Internet of Useful Things

When it comes to development in IoT, one should try to bring out the most useful aspect of anything using IoT. Slow but stable approach allows teams to begin gaining benefits gradually without running the risk of outpacing their learning curve. Hosting on a secure ISO certified platform is also equally important as the first step towards user data security. Many IoT developers place too much importance on how devices are connected to each other, and too little on how they deliver value to meet customers' needs. Instead, one should focus on actual outcomes.
