I wrote recently about the consumer-IoT’s “basket of remotes” problem, the realization that the growing divergence of a “hodge-podge of ad hoc solutions managed through fragmented systems” risks needlessly complicating consumer’s already busy lives. Fortunately, industrial and commercial sources such as Advantech are already well ahead of their consumer counterparts in delivering comprehensive integrated IoT…
My neighbor called from work recently to ask, first, if I was home and, if so, would I check to see if she’d left her curling iron plugged in. She’s a nurse who works a night shift, and the “would you check my …” call has become such a recurring theme that she long ago…
There is no U.S. power grid as such, at least not in the sense of a consolidated system of nation-wide distribution of electricity. Instead, more than 3200 local and regional electrical utilities produce the more than $400 billion of electricity consumed annually in this country, all pursuant to a long-standing model dominated by local…
What is Big Data and how is it used? We get this question a lot. We defi ne big data as huge amounts of data collected through the public sector. It’s all the data compiled from police departments, the DMV, the DOT, our courthouses, etc. There are others, like retailers, who also collect data that…

There is a lot of talk about improving workforce productivity with data automation, and it’s not too difficult to identify the areas that lead to increased profitability — like increased customer satisfaction and ability to handle more orders in the same amount of time. But what are some of the other “behind the scenes” productivity…
The warehouse is a busy place and the best place to start improving efficiencies. This is where our customers see their biggest challenges — bottlenecks, shipping delays, picking errors and inventory mix-ups. It’s a constant flow of materials in and out of the warehouse and the best place to start if you’re considering a wireless…
When presented with an opportunity to automate your warehouse operations, what are the chances you’ll be asked, “What’s the ROI?” Not to worry, calculating ROI on process improvements may not seem as daunting as you think. The first step in determining the ROI to improve your warehouse operations is to take a look at your…
It’s clear that the advent of the bar code has simplified our lives – we can check-in at airports, see a movie, and pay for lunch just by showing the clerk the bar code on our phone. We’re reducing our footprint more and more each day – when was the last time you wrote…
