The use of Artificial Intelligence and other new technologies is becoming essential for manufacturers working to build resilience and remain competitive in an ever-changing marketplace. According to a recent survey from The Manufacturer, 65 percent of leaders in the manufacturing sector are working to adopt AI. In this episode of To The Edge and Beyond, Host Tyler Kern talked with Tara Thimmanaik, Systems Architect and Dave Austin, Senior Principal Engineer for the Industrial Solutions Division at Intel about adopting industrial AI for smarter manufacturing. More and more manufacturers are seeing AI as the way of the future, so much so that its adoption is expected to grow at a rate of 57.2 percent CAGR over the next five years within warehouses. However, implementation can be challenging and there are barriers to entry. "The barriers are everywhere. “They usually start with the fact that there's never enough data,” says Austin. “You've also got to have enough of the right kinds of data. AI needs context, labels, and quality to create viable solutions.” Thimmanaik agrees adding, “It's not just about getting AI training right. It's about taking the environment in which the AI performs into consideration. That's what Industry 4.0 is all about – the digital transformation of manufacturing.”Thanks to the COVID pandemic, companies are realizing they need to innovate and shift their focus. “As a system architect, I like to understand what it takes to make those 4.0 transformations happen on factory floors,” Thimmanaik says. “There are LOTS of technologies which must come together and play well. We must realize that only those technologies that make business sense will be adopted.”"AI is very good at giving us insight into what it's trained to do,” said Austin, “but once we start getting into that space of asking it to give us an answer for something it isn't trained to do, or outside of that data space, it's actually not so great." Thimmanaik stresses that what is needed is an ecosystem of solutions. “Intel has a whole range of market-ready solutions, and we partner with some of the best players in this industry. It's about identifying business problems and developing end-to-end solutions that are easily scalable.”To learn more about Tara Thimmanaik and Dave Austin:• Connect with them on LinkedIn• Visit www.intel.com/manufacturingSubscribe to this channel on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts to hear more from the Intel Internet of Things Group.

In this episode of To The Edge and Beyond, Host Courtney Echerd talked with Ron Eccleston, Global Market Strategist for the Internet of Things (IoT) Group at Intel, and Cole Baker, Senior Global Alliance Manager at LogiTech, the world leader in products that connect people in naturally intuitive ways to the digital experiences they care about. They discussed the many challenges facing companies and their remote workforces during the pandemic, as well as how technology companies have stepped up to meet the demand for solutions that replicate in-person experiences. The global pandemic has forced companies to rethink how and where their employees work. One of the biggest challenges has been finding ways to ensure that meetings and collaborations can continue without in-person interactions. Thankfully, enterprise IT companies, such as Intel and LogiTech, have been able to anticipate and meet the technology requirements of remote workplaces. “There really aren't a lot of heavy lifts at this point,” said Eccleston. “You don't have to have a Ph.D. in IT or IT Support available. It's really the easy button at this point. It's plug-and-play. Anyone can do it, and it's affordable.”Looking to the future, neither Eccleston nor Baker feel workplaces will return to the way they were prior to the pandemic. “I don't believe we'll ever go back to everyone being in the office,” said Baker. “This hybrid work environment is here to stay. We need to have a flexible, work-from-anywhere mindset as we continue to adjust to this whole new world.” Learn more about solving work-from-home challenges by connecting with Ron Eccleston on LinkedIn or visit https://www.intel.com.Subscribe to this channel on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Google Podcasts to hear more from the Intel Internet of Things Group.

With the global IoT security market poised to grow from an annual $12.5 billion to $36.6 billion over the next five years, it is clear the need for solutions to protect the front-of-house bank operations is imperative. Devakumar Rajagopalan, Banking Segment Marketing Manager, and Wallace Lee, Senior Platform Solution Engineer, both with Intel's Internet of Things Group, brought their insights on the current situation to this episode of To The Edge and Beyond.Rajagopalan spoke about the frequency of cybersecurity events occurring in banking. “Every day, we hear of an organization where there is a data breach or a customer is losing money from their account with stolen credentials,” Rajagopalan said.And how does the pandemic factor into these issues and risks? “2020 was a challenging year for banks when it comes to cybersecurity,” Rajagopalan said. “Because of COVID, the customer has to do more virtual banking, and employees are working from home. This has created the biggest cybersecurity challenge for banks.” Rajagopalan noted that, during comparative periods in 2020 vs. 2019, the number of cybersecurity incidents was up significantly.“There is no doubt the financial industry's done a good job keeping up with the investment in cybersecurity infrastructures,” Lee said. “Unfortunately, cybersecurity today is still pretty much like a game of cat and mouse. Why, you may ask? Because there is no way to know the vulnerability if you don't know they ever existed.”Edge Computing offers a wide range of security benefits for banks, including the ability to defend the attack right at the source without compromising the overall banking systems – once an attack has happened, there is a high chance it can multiply. This would allow a bank to defend an attack on one individual kiosk at the branch level rather than allowing the attack to spread to kiosks across all branches.Intel is partnering with Independent Software Vendors, System Integrators, Video Analytics providers, and Banks to deploy and develop Edge security solutions.Learn more about banking security solutions by connecting with Devakumar Rajagopalan and Wallace Lee on LinkedIn or visit https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/financial-services-it/financial-services-overview.html

In August, the UN issued a 26-page policy brief on education during COVID-19 and beyond. The UN Secretary General did not mince words when he said the pandemic has created the largest disruption of education in our world's history. And, if we don't put solutions in place, “these learning losses threaten to extend beyond this generation and erase decades of progress.”On this episode of To The Edge and Beyond, Education Marketing Director Chris O'Malley and Platform Solution Architect Marcos Silva from Intel Corporation's Internet of Things Group sat down with host Shelby Skrhak to discuss these challenges and share how technology is improving hybrid learning solutions and more. “What we're facing now with COVID is absolutely the greatest disruption in history; there's no doubt about it,” O'Malley said. “When I look at this, technology is a key input we have to address this disruption around the world. As a technology company, Intel continues to step up to ensure that progress is made in education.”Students from elementary school all the way to higher education are using remote learning technologies during this pandemic, but, as Silva explains, the term remote learning encompasses both synchronous and asynchronous learning, as well as blended approaches.Synchronous learning in elementary and secondary schools offers a more teacher-centric approach to learning — one that allows teachers to interact more often with students. At the higher education level, students require less direct instruction from teachers, but instead rely on curriculum distribution and effective collaboration tools that allow them to work in small breakouts with other students, often called asynchronous learning.“In elementary education, it's more about how you connect the teacher [with students], but in higher education, it's about making discussion and collaboration more efficient,” Silva said.O'Malley said, during this first year of widespread remote learning, technology providers have removed many of the impediments to distance learning by “getting technology in the hands of students and getting connectivity between the students and the school.”Now, technology is helping merge in-class materials with the digitization of classroom content, but all that digital content and classroom video is driving another challenge — cloud connectivity problems.“Now we're starting to run into new challenges,” O'Malley said. “For school districts, that's driving the need for local edge computing. That is a shift in the compute paradigm of balancing the immense amount of data stored in the cloud and locally. School districts are realizing this need.” Most importantly, Intel and their ecosystem partners are focused on ensuring teachers know how to best leverage technology to enhance learning, as the “classroom” of the future is evolving quickly. This continues to also be an opportunity to learn from teachers to ensure solutions are naturally integrated into teaching approaches and easy to use.

The future of retail is being built daily, but one thing is practically certain – as a continuation of pre-pandemic trends and in the wake of COVID-19, consumers will be on the lookout for frictionless experiences.In this episode of To The Edge and Beyond, the host Tyler Kern explores the use cases Intel's Internet of Things Group brings to frictionless retail and the solutions that are powering it with Intel's Christie Rice, Retail Business Development Director, and Samir Sandesara, Platform Architect for Retail.Frictionless retail is a hot topic in industry outlets. Frictionless includes a wide range of solutions, such as self-checkout, grab-and-go stores, kiosks and more. Technology building blocks needed include artificial intelligence, IoT sensor data, and a range of components depending on the shopping format and context. “Retail establishments view frictionless retail as a value for customers,” Rice said, adding that customer experience should be any company's primary focus. “People today want service options that are fast and convenient.”Whether in a retail store or a corporate environment, people want products quickly without waiting in lines and any unnecessary interactions. Having access to technology that makes the retail experience quicker is crucial and will ultimately lead to higher sales.Intel's role in frictionless retail is in designing technology that is adaptive to different environments. Visual processing is becoming more intricate, and Intel can provide adaptive technology in the form of both hardware and software for any frictionless retail environment. Real sense cameras also help with collecting depth data and assist in machine learning.The capture of data is foundational. For example, if a store camera is mounted too high or is too pixilated, useful data will not be able to be extracted. Sandesara understands that the fundamental needs are simple – customers want a quick retail experience, and the technology can be adapted to meet specific needs. And gathered data provides a better understanding of the need and helps identify which solutions are best.Although not a new conversation in retail, transaction security and customer privacy are primary to any frictionless experience. Intel and ecosystem partners work in context of the retail format to ensure compliance and that standards are met. “Once you've implemented these systems, you can extract ever increasing amounts of decision-making information out of them. You do not have to redo sensor implementations over and over again if implemented right,” Sandesara said. “The same set of cameras can help you with not just frictionless, but also inventory management, food safety compliance, and employee assistance. It's an investment for the future.”Learn more about Retail with Intel by connecting with Christie Rice or Samir Sandesara on LinkedIn or visit http://www.intel.com/retail.

It is inspiring to see young dancers taking their futures into their own hands, creating their own companies and creating their own work. Australian born Briar Adams is one of those inspiring ballet dancers. She left her home country to embark on a dance career in London - one of the toughest dance centres in the world - and alongside a successful 15 year career, Briar also created her own dance company, ‘Hack Ballet'.  Now in it's 6th year, Hack Ballet maintains it's mission of a strong aesthetic vision of the world as it is and as it could be – celebrating diversity and equality, tradition and originality. As a choreographer, Briar creates thought provoking work, that blends classical ballet and contemporary dance techniques to create athletic, lyrical dance with a focus on social issues. Briar Adams.

In each and every one of us, there's the capacity to do amazing things - Ray Zahab Ray Zahab and Stefano Gregoretti will run 2,200km (1,375mile) across Namibia with the primary goal of using satellite technology to bring their expedition into classrooms, and classrooms onto the expedition. Join them on instagram, Facebook and their official website www.transnamibia.com ! EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS The condition Ray has that I can't pronounce and that he doesn't think about A lot of the great things we do are quick decisions How risk-taking is a forgotten quality Origins of ImpossibletoPossible (i2P) The most difficult things we do in our lives are very relative to us as individuals Crossing the world's deserts and the Trans Namibia Expedition ABOUT RAY ZAHAB Canadian Adventurer & Founder of impossible2Possible (i2P) Challenge. Distance. Discovery On November 1, 2006, former "pack a day smoker" Ray Zahab and two friends, Charlie Engle and Kevin Lin, both accomplished runners, set out on an expedition to cross the Sahara Desert by foot. 111 days and 7,500 kms after leaving the coast of Senegal, Africa they completed their journey by stepping into the Red Sea. This epic expedition had the trio running an average of 70kms a day without a single day of rest. National Geographic tracked the expedition by web, as well as the documentary film 'Running The Sahara', produced by Matt Damon and directed by Academy Award winner James Moll, was created in an effort to raise awareness for the drinking water crisis in North Africa. After witnessing and experiencing this water crisis in North Africa, Ray decided to leverage his future adventures to help raise awareness and funding for causes, like this one, that he supports and believes in. In 2007, Ray ran the three coastal trails of Canada back to back and virtually non-stop, for a total distance of 400 kms. The Akshayuk Pass on Baffin Island, East Coast Trail Newfoundland and West Coast Trail in British Columbia. Motivated by the Sahara run - Ray conceptualized the Canada ONExONE Run in May 2008. Along with a team of runners, Ray ran an average 80 kms per day in each of Canada's 13 Provinces and Territories in 13 days. School visits were arranged along the way, students participated and communities became engaged in many of the issues which ONExONE endeavors to address to help improve the wellbeing of the world's children. In Saskatoon alone, several thousand students and 27 schools were involved in school rallies and a city wide relay with Ray and the team. In 2008, Ray founded impossible2Possible (i2P) (impossible2possible.com) an organization that aims to inspire and educate youth through adventure learning, inclusion and participation in expeditions. Youth Ambassadors are selected from around the globe then participate, at no cost, in all aspects of the expedition, from logistics and running to creating educational content and team support. All of the i2P Youth Expeditions have included various challenge based initiatives through an Experiential Learning program, in which thousands of students participate as active 'team members' during the expeditions, from classrooms all over the world. This program and its technology is also provided at no cost to the students or schools participating. Since its inception, i2P Youth Expeditions have included 9 grueling expeditions; Baffin Island, Tunisia, the Amazon, Bolivia, India, Botswana, Utah, Peru and Chile. The programs and expeditions are 100% free of cost. In 2009, Ray and two other Canadians, Kevin Vallely and Richard Weber, broke the world speed record for an unsupported expedition by a team to the South Pole. In the process, Ray trekked this traditional route from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole, a distance of 1,100 kms, solely on foot and snowshoes, without the use of skis. Students from all over North America joined the team on a daily basis, a program provided through impossible2Possible, as the trio continued their southern trek. The students received daily communications and actively took part in every step of the trek. Essentially becoming "teammates" of the expedition, and teammates of the Guinness World Record. In winter 2010, Ray and Kevin Vallely ran the length of frozen Lake Baikal in Siberia, 650 kms, over the course of 13 days, totally unsupported. Once again communication with satellite video conferencing to schools brought the expedition into classrooms, and classrooms onto the expedition. In early 2011, Ray ran the length of the "driest desert on Earth", the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. Here he ran 1,200 kms in 20 days with minimal daily re-supply and with his camping gear on his back. Thousands of students joined this journey, again under his i2P organization, via live web and video conferencing. In summer 2011, Ray and Will Laughlin ran from the north park boundary to the south park boundary of Death Valley National Park, totally off-road. The 237 km run saw temps reaching over 120 degrees F. Beginning June 23rd 2013, Ray ran over 2,000km across Mongolia and the Gobi Desert. He was accompanied by both a film crew and photographer who recorded not only the expedition, but also created an robust film archive sharing the stories of the people and culture of Mongolia. This marks the beginning of the "To The Edge" series chronicling the stories and people and that Ray comes into to contact with on expeditions...situations and people that occur when at the edges of the Earth! In Winter 2014 Ray completed his 4th unsupported crossing of Baffin Island on the Akshayuk Pass. Ray has also found the time to write 2 successful books about his life and adventures. Running for My Life published in 2007 and Ray's second book, geared at youth readers, Running to Extremes, which recently became a National Best-Seller in Canada. In addition to being an adventurer, youth advocate and runner, Ray speaks around the world at events such as TED, IOC World Conference, Idea City, The Economist World in 2010 and 2011, World Affairs Council, and numerous Apple Distinguished Educator events internationally. He has been interviewed and appeared on several talk and news programs including CNNi, The Hour, CBC, CTV, BBC, Jay Leno, and Discovery. Outside of his own organization Ray further dedicates portions of his time as a previous board of Directors - now an advisor to the Ryan's Well Foundation, he is an Athletic Ambassador/board member of the ONExONE.org, and is a representative of SpreadTheNet. Ray was the recipient of the ONExONE Difference Award in 2007, and the Torchbearers Award in 2010. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Canadian Geographical Society. In spring 2012, Ray was invited by H.E. Tsogtbaatar Damdin (Minister of Environment, Mongolia) to join their Internal Advisory Committee.. He continues today with life as an adventurer and as a volunteer with impossible2Possible. 'Running The Sahara' would begin a lifelong journey of discovery. A journey of learning that some of the largest barriers to success are the ones we put upon ourselves. By breaking these down, Ray has learned that we are all capable of achieving truly extraordinary things.

När Jens Olof Lasthein var i övre tonåren begav han sig in bakom järnridån för att han inte trodde på den bild som i väst målades upp av livet i dåvarande Sovjetunionen. Under sin resa insåg han hur väl han trivdes och kände sig hemma bland människorna som han mötte. Det hela blev starten på en livslång fascination och kärlek till folket och trakterna i framförallt Kaukasus. Han återvänder numera regelbundet med sina panoramakameror och han har gjort flera böcker och utställningar med närgångna fotografier av vardagslivet i Europas östligaste utkanter.
