Toward smart production: Machine intelligence in business operations shows positive impact on bottom line but still immature field @McKinsey #AI #machineLearning | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

A detailed study of machine intelligence in industrial and manufacturing operations reveals the surprisingly different paths companies can take. But a group of leaders shares similar characteristics.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: AI delivers real value in the manufacturing and production side of business. The McKinsey report shows ML and AI impacts bottom line more than top line, and that the field remains immature with the need for center of excellence and help from academia. Overall a useful reference when planning for back office and supply chain improvements.

Est-ce qu'Amazon sait ce qu'il vend? Does Amazon know what it sells? - en français pcq c'est une question fondamentale pour @lepanierbleu #achatlocal

Est-ce qu'Amazon sait ce qu'il vend? Does Amazon know what it sells? - en français pcq c'est une question fondamentale pour @lepanierbleu #achatlocal | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Amazon has been able to scale indefinitely because it treats every product as an interchangeable packet, and doesn’t need to know what they are, only what they weigh. But if it doesn’t know what it sells, that’s only half a retailer. And what would happen if it could change that?

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: je mets mon commentaire en français parce qu'il s'adresse spécifiquement aux amis du panier bleu. L'article de Ben Evans soulève une question importante et fait la démonstration que non, Amazon ne sait pas. Et que pour Amazon, pour l'instant, peu importe. Mais pour le panier bleu et sa place de marché, le marchandisage et la curation de contenu sera importante. Essentielle même. Et qu'elle sera peut-être le différentiateur et la clé du succès. Le panier bleu ne gagnera pas en créant une place de marché mais en réglant les enjeux des commerçants (coûts élevé des cartes de crédit, logistique, livraison, retours et publicité) et en offrant aux consommateurs une destination pour trouver des commerces et des produits québécois. 

En gros, il faut régler les problèmes du commerce de détail, et la technologie ne résoudra pas tous les problèmes à court terme...

Hardware failure is a critical component of #digitalTransformation. Case in point: McDonalds outdoor Drive Thru menu board failures shows how difficult it can be to replace good old paper cardboard... | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

McDonald’s Drive-Thrus are a baseline for the entire industry and seeing them install LCDs that basically blow up and fail totally is something everyone wants to understand.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: found this example of displays that fail at McDonalds drive-thrus. It highlights the fact that digital transformation often means deploying new hardware in places where there not in the past. And that creates a huge number of issues in terms of design, maintenance, operations, etc. Very often not a big deal is planned but very much a big deal if not accounted for in the beginning. So think about cooling, electricity availability, repairs, software version updates, security, content upload, etc.

WHY IT MATTERS: this is old news but a new picture that shows what it looks like when you track your delivery in China. The image is from March 2021 even though the article is from 2020. So it seems to remain after a year. Not sure when it will be part of the UBER app... ;-)

Voyage Commander is a state-of-the-art self-driving robot taxi that has a number of important limitations and sheds light into what is possible and what is not | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

When Commander detects that something in the road ahead cannot be handled by itself, it gracefully transitions control to Telessist, our novel remote assistance technology. Telessist enables our robotaxi service to scale quicker, safely driving riders through any scenario that the world can throw at us.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: a very interesting article about a robot taxi system, how it works and its limitations. Fun read to understand what is possible and what is not in self driving tech today. This is important because many of digital transformation use case depend on this for profitability (for example eCommerce delivery cost should reduce drastically when this available).

the bottom in terms of profit margins. What we believe they should
prioritise is a wide range of offerings that suit their product ranges
and customer base.

As Workers Spread Out to Halt the Virus, #Robots Fill the Gaps via @WIRED

As Workers Spread Out to Halt the Virus, #Robots Fill the Gaps via @WIRED | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Social distancing requires rethinking the layout of workplaces. A new breed of robots can help keep factories and warehouses running.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS:  I've seen these robots at CES2020 (or was it NRF?) and they are quite impressive. The video in the article shows that having small robots work alongside humans is a reality today. You'll see in the video that they use a modified kinect camera to sense depth, devices that I've also seen at CES this year and years before. Applications are endless and relatively low cost.

A leading Canadian grocer will pilot automated fulfillment of its buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS) offering.

Loblaw Inc. is building an automated picking facility to support its PC Express BOPIS service. Leveraging a hyperlocal fulfillment solution from Takeoff Technologies that functions in compact vertical spaces, Loblaw will launch the 12,000-sq.-ft. facility inside one of its GTA Real Canadian superstores in 2020.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: order fulfillment and delivery is the last remaining hurdle to eCommerce. Loblaws in Canada will pilot a micro-fulfillment solution from TakeOff that impressed me last year at Shoptalk. In short, they create an automated back-store where eCommerce orders are prepared with a huge amount of automation. The question remains whether the economics is better for micro-fulfillment or if centralized warehouse fulfillment with hub-and-spoke delivery is better suited for high volume / low margin eCommerce that grocery is about. Thus this "test" by Loblaws. Note that Sobeys has decided in favor of more centralized ocado-driven automated warehouse and Metro remains with the more traditional decentralized (and manual) store-based pick-pack-deliver process. Given the low volume of orders for online grocery in Canada I remain partisan of a store-based manual approach but the economics I got from TakeOff was promising. Below additional links if you want to read more about takeoff and ocado.

Boston Dynamics’ robot dog Spot is going on sale for the first time - this is a major milestone, moving from R&D to potential real-world applications , but be warned about the current limitations... | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Boston Dynamics only has 20 of the robots available right now, but it’s hoping to manufacture about 1,000 for use out in the field. So it has to be very choosy about who gets one. It hasn’t disclosed how much they will cost.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this is a big deal because the Boston Dynamics robots appear to be the advanced and versatile. The fact that they are made commercially available is significant after years of being research project. You have to be in the market for an early device with lots of limitations but, looking down the road a few years, one has to start planning for robots to start making their way into practical use cases in construction, etc. Plus the videos are just fun to watch!

Amazon’s business model for the device is to make deliveries within 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) from a company warehouse and to reach customers within 30 minutes. It can carry packages weighing as much as five pounds. More than 80% of packages sold by the retail behemoth are within that weight limit, Kimchi said.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the final frontier in eCommerce is delivery to the home - the "last mile". Retailers have been great at solving technical issues around selling online and fulfilling orders cost effectively in large warehouses. Delivery remains plagued with slow and costly solutions that have not much changed since the FarWest postal delivery by horse-drawn carriage (think about it). This must change and we must apply automation, robotics and other tech to improve that and make it so that any retailer can send a parcel in few hours for as little as the cost of gas/electricity to get the parcel to the customer...

Technology Roadmap for scale.ai #Canada's supply chain #AI effort #supplyChain | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

In the short term, SCALE AI will adopt and scale existing supply chain (SC) solutions implemented by members to drive immediate benefits.

SCALE AI will identify SC challenges and needs, agree on core requirements and drive towards common standards and processes. Moreover, it will encourage SC/AI/digital providers to collaborate, extend existing AI-based offerings, and share data. This will result in facilitated connections between supply chain users and SC/AI/digital providers to accelerate adoption of existing solutions.

#Drones relay #RFID signals or read barcodes for improved inventory control without humans or ladders #MIT #WMS #digital  | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

MIT researchers have developed a system that enables small, safe, aerial drones to read RFID tags from tens of meters away while identifying the tags’ locations. The system could be used in large warehouses to prevent inventory mismatches and locate individual items.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: drones and autonomous vehicles have applications in business settings that may be more valuable and faster to deploy short term than consumer applications we have come to see in recent years - like self-driving cars or drone following humans in the wild. Here MIT has adapted drones to perform inventory control using RFID tags in warehouses. At the recent CES 2018 event, drones from company Eyesee are equipped with high definition cameras perform similar tasks of inventory control and management. These solutions have short-term benefits for enterprises that warrant deployment of what is still a very new technology. In the future, Artificial Intelligence image recognition software should enable even more advanced inventory control.

eCommerce leader @Cdiscount opens 3000sq.ft. warehouse to let #startups innovate & disrupt #innovation #digital #disruption #agile @bastienginer | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

The Warehouse est le premier entrepôt destiné aux startups pour créer la supply chain du futur. Créé par Cdiscount, ce lieu d’innovation propose un programme d’accompagnement de 6 mois, alliant à la fois du mentoring pour challenger la stratégie des startups, mais également des ateliers de codesign avec les utilisateurs experts de leur métier, afin de contextualiser les solutions logistiques des startups sélectionnées.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: we all say companies must innovate but often they struggle because of internal operational constraints - after all they have a business to run and cannot disrupt their operations to try things out. That is why such an experiment by CDiscount is so important: they have created both a *place* where startups can do their things and a *process* for them not worry if they break something. Can't wait to see the results of that - but I guess it can only be positive, how can it not be?

DoorDash Will Start Delivering Food Via Robots In California: is this the future of eCommece #delivery? | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Unleash the bots! Automation has emerged as a critical issue in the US following a 2016 election that focused largely on jobs and plans to save them. Though a significant amount of attention has been directed towards autonomous driving as a potential job killer, specifically for long-haul trucking, delivery robots appear poised to go mainstream much sooner.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

We think of robots as fixed machines that assemble cars. However, with the advances in autonomous driving we may see an explosion of delivery robots. We have seen experiments with the use of drones to deliver products (Amazon and others) and now we are seeing self driving robots appear on the streets as it is much easier to get permits for those than it is for flying objects that can crash and hurt people. This is important because delivery remains the Achille's heel of eCommerce (slow, expensive): whoever cracks this problem and comes up with a low cost and economical solution will make a killing.
