We are entering a new era of work—one where AI (artificial intelligence) and the IoT (Internet of Things) will drive innovation at companies in nearly every vertical market around the globe. At the heart of all of this is the data center. As we enter this new era of work, we must also consider the role of the data center. JLL suggests data center storage capacity will grow from 10.1 zettabytes in 2023 to 21 zettabytes in 2027, which is a five-year compound annual growth rate of 18.5%. As data rises, so too will the need for data centers, and…
ABI Research says surging EV adoption will drive public EV charging revenue to reach $164 billion by 2035.
Automotive shipping could use a resurgence with AI (artificial intelligence). Consider this: What if a system could autonomously manage 85% of shipping orders, minimizing the need for manual intervention? One company aims to do this with AI. As one example, RunBuggy has launched RunBot, which is an AI system that integrates into RunBuggy’s transportation management platform. The company says this acts as the central nervous system for orchestrating the complexities of the automotive shipping process. Here is how it works: RunBot uses machine learning models to prioritize operational tasks, predict delivery challenges, and offer insights. The predictive capabilities ensure logistical…

Connected devices can help us in all walks of life—and one place in particular is healthcare, which is seeing new technology help patients. Case in point: a deep brain stimulation device with a 15-year battery life allows more continual treatment of patients with movement disorders. Let’s take a step back first. Deep brain stimulation is the placement of electrodes in the brain connected to a battery-operated generator. This is like one that is put in the chest that is a cardiac pacemaker. The impulse of electricity can stimulate a specific area of the brain. Here is how this can help:…
The retail industry is struggling to keep pace with consumers’ growing expectations of sustainability. Two-thirds of consumers, including 75% of millennials, report they consider sustainability when shopping, yet most brands and retailers have failed to ensure the complete integrity of the primary contributor to their social and environmental footprint: their supply chains. According to McKinsey, supply chains account for up to 90% of a company’s environmental impact, underscoring the need for greater visibility and oversight.Heightened consumer awareness about the global impact of their purchases, along with a tidal wave of strict new supply chain laws passing around the world, has…
