Gaining Location Intelligence with AI and Digital Twins
Location intelligence is already a part of our everyday lives, from using our phones to get directions to finding a nearby restaurant. But businesses now are starting to see the transformative potential of location intelligence. In fact, 95% of businesses now consider location intelligence to be essential, thanks to its ability to lower costs, improve customer experience, and enhance operations. But many businesses struggle to get the most out of their location data because it's often siloed in different departments or systems. AI and digital twins can help businesses to break down data silos and create a single, comprehensive view of their spaces in real time. AI can be used to analyze large volumes of location data and identify patterns and trends. Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-world objects or environments that can be used to track and monitor changes over time. In this podcast, we discuss the importance of location intelligence, the use of AI and digital twins for tracking and monitoring, and how to implement AI-powered tracking and monitoring safely and securely.

Industrial Edge Computing: Strategies That Scale
Edge computing is quickly becoming known for its ability to improve business operations by reducing latency, delivering high performance, and providing real-time insights. But despite its promise, many businesses—especially in the industrial space—struggle to successfully adopt edge computing. One challenge is that industrial edge computing can be complex to scale. While it is relatively easy to get started with a few edge devices, managing a large-scale edge computing infrastructure can be daunting. Additionally, lack of a single edge computing standard can make it difficult to integrate edge devices and applications from different vendors. To overcome these challenges, businesses need to take a strategic approach to edge computing adoption. This includes carefully planning their edge computing architecture, selecting the right edge devices and applications, and implementing a robust management and orchestration framework. In this podcast, we discuss the state of edge computing across different environments, how businesses can successfully approach edge computing, key challenges and how to solve them, and what the future holds for edge computing in this space.
