Like the sides of a hexagon, our team is continuously moving in many directions with one fundamental goal: to empower our customers – operating in more than 27 industries – with the freedom to deliver a sustainable, autonomous future.
Just two weeks into 2023, we are already accelerating the world’s digital reality transformation by unlocking the power of data across industry applications.
Here are six highlights from around the globe:
1. Oil and gas facilities find ways to adopt smart mobile devices.
The oil and gas industry has been slow to enable digital transformation due to concerns around safety, cybersecurity and compliance. However, new advances in technology deliver solutions for successful implementation. Find out why – and how – it’s finally time for a change here: Mobile at last: why the Oil & Gas industry is finally embracing smart mobile devices.
2. How AI advances construction sites with time-lapse photography and live video.
Construction site leaders looking to stay ahead of jobsite progress can now utilise autonomous solutions through AI-powered technology to capture construction projects on an ongoing basis. Advancements in technology — particularly gaining insights from machine learning and AI — provide high visibility opportunities for every facet of the operation to make construction more time-efficient and cost-effective.
