Bridge and tunnel collisions happen at all too frequent of a rate. On average, 15,000 bridge and tunnel collisions occur in the United States annually. The average cost for repair is estimated at around $18,000 per accident, totaling some $270 million annually in damages caused by this type of accident. Additionally, it is estimated 2-3% of the world’s bridges are damaged every year. Technology can help, which would ultimately save lives, prevent infrastructure damage, and improve traffic congestion. As one example, Innoviz Technologies has developed the Innoviz Bridge Collision Detection solution, which uses data gathered from LiDAR sensors from both…

Improving food safety and profitability is key, and supply-chain intelligence can provide that. In fact, technology can monitor chicken in food production. Consider the example of Ancera, which has data algorithms that identify which farms are underperforming and provide realtime visibility. The company’s product, CSM (Coccidia System Monitoring), gives integrators the ability to identify Coccidia, a disease that hinders poultry health and productivity. Ancera now integrates more than 100 data sources into profiles for each USDA FSIS-regulated facility by combining its proprietary diagnostic analytics, production history, and open-source intelligence. Here is how this can help in food production: Quantify production…
