AI and automation are appearing in nearly every market. Deep North designed a scalable, versatile video analytics platform with the goal of increasing the ROI for companies in various industries, including retail and manufacturing. The platform uses video to analyze customer behavior, monitor security adherence, and understand frequently viewed areas and products. 

Digital restaurant platforms are improving the customer experience, but the benefits don’t end there. Customers enjoy a consistent ordering process, regardless of channel, and restaurateurs learn more about their customers, increase sales, and improve their operations.

Neonpass from startup Hoobox Robotics provides check-in services and access control, uses AI to predict where to allocate resources, and streamlines patient care. 

The global food demand is increasing, and farmers are increasingly enduring labor shortages and unpredictable weather conditions. AI and machine learning are helping farmers fight these challenges with automated equipment and computer vision, including John Deere’s new autonomous tractor.

A robotic berry picker has the potential to change strawberry harvest. With 16 distinct robots within one autonomous vehicle, berries can be harvested quickly and carefully. The computer vision and artificial intelligence that enables such precise picking provides farmers with a trove of data about each plant and the farm, improving crops and profits.

Zededa has developed an edge management and orchestration solution that sits at the convergence of the IT and OT worlds. The cloud-based, SaaS solution brings visibility and security to highly distributed networks, regardless of the hardware and software deployed.

Labor shortages and increased costs are propelling IoT use in the agriculture industry. Orchards can soon use flying autonomous robots (FAR) to detect, harvest, and track the collection of ripe fruit. 

As organizations face workforce gaps and talent losses, Pymetrics sees its AI platform as an alternative to traditional HR hiring practices. Using AI can help lessen human bias and identify quality candidates, hire equitably, reduce turnover rate, and enhance performance. Pymetrics applies AI-driven assessments to help companies build diverse, top-performing teams.

Two new smart sensor systems for automobiles developed by KEA Technologies use touch- and breath-analysis technology to automatically measure a driver’s blood alcohol content. The system can accurately determine in less than a second whether the driver might be impaired and if so, can keep the engine from starting.

With goals for a more sustainable future, vineyards in California are exploring the fully electric, driver-optional, data-driven Monarch Tractor. The in-field hubs of data are helping farmers maintain root to fruit visibility, analyze moisture levels, count fruit clusters, and perform other agronomy functions. Zero emissions and a realistic price tag makes this vintage of autonomous tractors appealing to many.
