Automation Solutions Market in the Oil and Gas Industry to grow by USD 1.73 Billion during 2021-2025|Technavio - PRNewswire

SARATOGA, Calif.In its formal debut to the physical and cyber-physical security market, Vector Flow launched its AI-powered, data-centric Physical Security Automation Platform, and also announced its Series A funding of $9.2M from Silicon Valleys premium venture firms, led by Mayfield Fund with participation from Foundation Capital.

Vector Flows security platform derives intelligence from physical security data by creating domain specific AI and data-centric models to automate major security functions related to Physical Identity and Access Operations, SOC Automation and Cyber-Physical Security defense.

As a people first investor, I was impressed by the innovation and rigor that repeat entrepreneurs Ajay Jain and Vik Ghai brought to solving the physical cyber security problem for enterprises, said Navin Chaddha, Mayfield Managing Director and Vector Flow board member. By delivering the industrys first AI-powered physical security automation platform, Vector Flow is solving a big and critical problem, that is protecting CEOs from personal liability for cyber-physical security incidents, something that Gartner has predicted could affect 75% of CEOs by 2024. I look forward to watching Vector Flow grow into a leader who delivers ROI and peace of mind to enterprises.

During the press conference to unveil the new company, Vector Flow President & CEO Ajay Jain told Security Systems News that the platform is built on a foundation of advanced AI algorithms capable of processing and analyzing vast amounts of data from otherwise disparate security systems, data stores and input devices.

The platform, which comes with application designer studio and a workbench which can be used by the customer and the systems integrator partner, extends any application running on the Vector Flow platform or to create a completely new application utilizing the platforms machine learning (ML) framework and designer tools without writing any code. This functionality extends the usefulness of any application as business processes change.

Vector Flow fills a tremendous void in the physical and cyber-physical security space with the industrys first powerful and innovative AI-enabled platform that aggregates both structured and unstructured data from myriad systems, devices, logs, and journals, Jain explained. The platform performs real-time analysis to detect anomalies, trends and KPIs, and provides actionable insights, automated remedies and processes.

He continued, Physical security industry is plagued with legacy disjointed applications, independent hardware, data stores and custom scripts that work in silo creating inefficiencies and security gaps. A benchmark in data-driven security intelligence, the Vector Flow platform enables new levels of automation driving operational efficiencies and significantly reducing corporate risks and costs. In the post pandemic era, the current human-laden physical security world will quickly adopt digital transformation, touchless, and autonomous operations to rely on data to streamline operational processes and fill security gaps.

Vector went over the three categories of solutions that run on the new Vector Flow platform:

Physical Workforce Identity Access Management (PIAM) which streamlines identity on/off boarding processes, physical access provisioning, access audits, compliance to regulations and risks analysis. Applications include:

Physical Security Operation Center (SOC) Automation, which employs deep AI-based automation for SOC operations and autonomous alarm reduction and reporting, along with multiple functions to optimize overall operations, includes:

Cyber-Physical Security which performs an audit of physical security as it relates to cyber defense. For example, it enforces defense in depth concepts using advanced AI models to detect vulnerabilities related to critical infrastructure, like the data centers or laboratory doors. It also manages the vulnerabilities of the IoT devices in the physical security and building automation world to prevent cyber surface attacks. Vector Flows transformative technology not only will help in automating critical functions of physical security but also provide defense against cyber-physical attacks with an extra layer of security. This category of applications will be available in 2022. Applications include:

The Vector Flow Platform is comprised of an application design studio and a workbench to build applications utilizing Vector Flows integrated data lake and ML framework. It comes with visual rules configurator, playbook designer and forms designer to help customers easily extend business applications or write new applications as their business processes change. The runtime edition of the platform is available now. The developer edition of the platform will be available in 2022.

Vector Flow is already onboarding several significant customers. This includes a global telecommunications provider with over 450,000 identities which replaced the legacy PIAM application with Vector Flows AI-enabled Physical Identity Lifecycle application. The unique Vector Flow solution promises to save millions of dollars in direct costs over the course of the contract while increasing overall security operations productivity, compliance to regulations and delivering valuable service to the enterprise.

In another example, a top Research and Pharmaceutical company, focused on anti-viral drugs and treatments, deployed Vector Flows AI-enabled Alarm Reduction Application to reduce their false/ nuisance alarm counts and to streamline the SOC functions by establishing and measuring the KPIs across all SOCs. In another example, a prominent networking products company reduced their false/ nuisance alarm counts by over 80% in few months without any human touch or masking of any alarms. Return on Investment was achieved within months. The SOC alarm fatigue was also removed for this customer and SOC operations was streamlined with increased productivity and visibility across the globe.

Industrial Automation Software Market to Grow by USD 5.44 billion during 2020-2024 | Need to Reduce Overall Operational Expenses to Emerge as Key...

The macadamia market is constantly growing: indeed, the nutritional virtues it provides makes the macadamia nut a fruit very much in demand.

"The success is such that today the macadamia nut is the most expensive nut in the world with a price varying around 60$/kg (R900). This infatuation has naturally pushed producers to convert and move towards this new crop," explains Simon Dufossez from Leger SAS.

This is what South African arboriculturists have been doing for more than 20 years, a trend that has increased relatively over the last 5 years with strong demand from the Asian and European markets.

"South Africa is now the world's leading producer, neck and neck with Australia. But to keep up with this strong growth, it is important for producers to equip themselves with tools that are properly adapted to this crop, which provides increased performance that goes beyond manual labour. Particularly since the association representing macadamia producers has set itself the challenge of producing nearly 300 tonnes of macadamia per year by 2030."

LEGER SAS, allows producers to do more, faster, and with fewer with their macadamia harvester. The agricultural machinery company, based in the South-West of France in the middle of plum and hazelnut orchards, specialises in arboriculture (nut and stone fruit) and viticulture. If the harvester has already proven itself on the hazelnut market in France, Spain, Italy and Albania, it is also adapted to the expectations of the macadamia market.

"The agricultural sector, both in South Africa and France, is facing many challenges, both financially and in terms of sustainability. There has been an increase in the wages of agricultural workers (+4.5% in March) which is not in line with the weak evolution of producers' incomes. Our objective with the Nut Harvester was to develop a tool and a system that can help reduce these stress factors and participate in the global reach of the nuts by providing useful operational solutions capable of supporting the workers. With harvesting still too often carried out by hand, the Nut Harvester is the future of harvesting and will have an immediate impact on the lives of nut growers. "

The Nut Harvester is a towed machine suitable for picking nuts on the ground: hazelnut, macadamia, pecan, etc. It uses a subtle harvesting system with a Pick-Up roller made up of combs and rubber bands, and a variable speed bar belt for collection. Thus, with a constant speed of 4 km/h, it can harvest between 3 and 4 hectares per hour. Moreover, with a directional rear axle, the adjustment of the belt speed and the side wheels, it can to adapt to all types of orchards and soils.

While Brooks Automation, Inc. (NASDAQ:BRKS) might not be the most widely known stock at the moment, it saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the NASDAQGS. As a mid-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the companys outlook is already priced into the stock. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Lets take a look at Brooks Automations outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if the opportunity still exists.

See our latest analysis for Brooks Automation

Brooks Automation is currently expensive based on my price multiple model, where I look at the company's price-to-earnings ratio in comparison to the industry average. Ive used the price-to-earnings ratio in this instance because theres not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows. The stocks ratio of 72.82x is currently well-above the industry average of 36.78x, meaning that it is trading at a more expensive price relative to its peers. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Since Brooks Automations share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

Future outlook is an important aspect when youre looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so lets also take a look at the company's future expectations. With profit expected to grow by 84% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for Brooks Automation. It looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

Are you a shareholder? BRKSs optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above industry price multiples. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question should I sell? If you believe BRKS should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards the industry PE ratio can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.

Are you a potential investor? If youve been keeping tabs on BRKS for some time, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its industry peers, which means it is likely that there is no more upside from mispricing. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for BRKS, which means its worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.

Is Now The Time To Look At Buying Brooks Automation, Inc. (NASDAQ:BRKS)? - Simply Wall St

The workforce is no stranger to sweeping changes, from the industrial revolution to overseas outsourcing. AI and automation is another iteration of a workforce revolution.

The culture of fear that surrounds AI spans decades -- from science fiction novels to pop culture. To the general public, AI represents a threat, and this is largely to do with media coverage and the lack of transparency around the technology. Famous STEM voices like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have publicly worried about AI affecting humans, while AI software developers are stating that their software will change the foundation of work.

Steven Shwartz, AI researcher and author of Evil Robots, Killer Computers, and Other Myths has boldly declared in his new book that the culture of fear around AI should be destroyed -- as anxiety over what AI can do doesn't accurately reflect the current iterations of the technology.

"People are worried about AI taking over all our jobs, and that's just not going to happen," Shwartz said.

When the general public sees the hype around AI and what it can do, there is an idea that computers are just as intelligent as humans because they can read, create, automate and speak. However, AI systems are just computational algorithms coded by developers -- they don't have the autonomy to become generally intelligent like humans.

In order to replace humans, AI systems would need to be able to learn without coding, and stack knowledge in order to apply it to many situations. The root of Shwartz's book is that AI doesn't have the capacity for human intelligence -- because developers don't have the ability to train them that way.

"The reality is that nobody has any idea how to build such intelligent machines -- they have no more idea how to build those machines than we did 40 years ago," Shwartz said. "Forty years ago, we thought this kind of intelligent machine was imminent, and then we found out how hard it was to develop."

Developers are still attempting to tackle the issue of common sense in AI and artificial general intelligence. Currently, an AI system can understand an end goal and the steps to complete it but can't explain why it makes individual decisions. This means that the system can't explain why it acts a certain way, or the steps that led it there. If an AI system is wrong, there is little way to pinpoint the step in the process that led to an overall error.

"Whatever tasks you give AI, it's going to make mistakes that are different than the mistakes that a human makes. So it may do some things better overall, but the mistakes will be different," Shwartz said.

The culture of fear around AI is developed from a misunderstanding of what the technology can accomplish.

In fact, what could be the biggest threat to automating jobs -- robotic process automation -- is not considered AI at all. Automating call centers and replacing remedial business processes is not AI, but computer automation.

"Most jobs are actually quite safe from AI, you're less safe from other kinds of computer automation," Shwartz said.

Demystifying AI starts with both education and realistic representations of what the technology does in the workplace. Most applications of AI focus on automating certain parts of a job to aid humans in other facets of their work. AI is excellent at classifications like computer vision image recognition, or call routing, which are normally a small part of a larger position.

"When you think about people's jobs, [image recognition and classification] might be one part of a person's job, but not the whole job," Shwartz said. "Any job is broken up into a bunch of tasks, and AI is going to enable computers to do classification tasks of a job."

What AI can't do, however, is retain the intelligence of humans and apply it across multiple actions. This incremental learning has never been developed in machines -- and there isn't a clear pathway to it.

"AI can do tremendous things, but each AI program can only do one thing," Shwartz said. "If you train a machine learning program to recognize faces, that program can't tell the difference between a dog and a cat. It certainly can't translate language and it certainly can't read a book."

For the time being, AI and automation can only assist human workers, and the fears around machines eliminating jobs and forcing humans into abject submission are about as likely as interdimensional time travel.

They will revolve around time, volumes, costs, and consistency. These factors put together constitute a difficult mixture of counterbalancing solutions that until recently seemed impossible to resolve universally.

Quality images for yesterday would be the dream of any ecommerce entrepreneur, however one that might stretch the budget significantly. The usual way to try to put this dream to reality was an in-house traditional photo studio. Just as frequently, companies hired external studios by way of outsourcing. None of these methods answered the challenges to a truly satisfying level.

It is the advent of automation technology that introduced new possibilities to the game of product photography. Lets analyze the challenges and new automated solutions step by step.

E-commerce product photography is unlike any other type of photography. It needs to produce quality visual content at a cost-restrained budget in the shortest time possible. Hence, a lot of contrary challenges.

With these challenges certainly not exhausting the whole list, a question arises whether there are ways to eliminate or minimize some of them. What would be the holy grail solution to find a compromise between cost-efficiency, high-quality, and time-to-market?

Research and practice have shown that a new approach, photography automation, provides the answer. And it has been widely implemented in e-commerce in recent years.

To automate product photography a holistic approach has been taken, which integrates equipment, software and the e-shop. From the capture of images to the publication in the online store all is done within one orchestrated process.

The hardware core of an automation solution is a photo studio cabin with lighting, a turntable and up to several digital cameras.

The cabin is available in various sizes starting from a small one good for jewellery photography and going as far as one for live models, furniture, and bicycles.

A dedicated software is a part of the solution, as it allows to control the equipment, camera included. This means full adjustability of lighting, camera settings, and a system to post-process the photos. As a handy bonus, software often takes care of the publication of the session results straight to an online platform.

Thanks to tight integration between hardware and software, photo automation makes it possible to reliably remove background from images. It is done on-the-fly, without human intervention.

The whole work is performed within a single system by a trained operator, with very basic photographic skills required. The process seamlessly integrates typically separate steps of content production:

The automated cutting-out of the product from the background comes as a key improvement to the traditional studio method and is highly effective. Everything happens within milliseconds thanks to a dedicated two-shots method and state-of-the-art algorithms.

This is where a lot of time is saved in post-production. Also, the capture process is much easier: the operator does not have to struggle with lighting the background and the object at the same time, which is a typically difficult task even for an experienced photographer. Instead, they can focus on the product itself, while the background can be replaced with pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255) in the publishing step. Still, the process does not fail to ensure the high quality of the product image.

Automated studios allow one-click publishing to most common e-commerce platforms through a system of integrations. The list includes WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento and Prestashop.

Traditional product photography brings advantages such as high flexibility, when it comes to studio setup, or, in the end, the highest quality of pictures, as they are all hand-created by a professional. This generates much higher costs and cannot guarantee the level of throughput required when there are thousands of products to photograph. Some businesses will relish the benefits, as the downsides will not yet be relevant for them especially small e-shops, where numbers do not play a critical role.

For all kinds of businesses, however, automation will bring a better, new approach to the old known challenges. Lets see how it deals with them.

Automation will come in handy, when web-ready images are needed in minutes rather than in days. The photos are post-processed already at the same workstation where the capture happened. There is no need for external post-production, which involves migration of files and third parties. The process consumes less time and the focus can be shifted to sales, as products do not occupy warehouses for so long. This translates directly to savings and shorter time-to-market more is sold with the same resources.

With automated solutions all is centered around the repeatability of shots. Lighting setup, shooting angles, camera and cabin settings can be saved as templates in the software. This minimizes the capability for human errors and creates consistency. Whats more, the know-how stays within the company in a digital form rather than in a photographers experience.

Until the arrival of automation technologies, rich content has been costly to achieve and years were spent referring to it as a goal rather than a reality. With automated studios, it is now practical to produce it. A 360 degree product spin is created in a time not much longer than several packshots. Within a few minutes from placing the product on the turntable, thanks to automated publishing, it can land straight in the e-shop. Dynamic videos and 3D content can be captured in minutes, which influences time-to-market again. Rich content will also bring customer satisfaction, higher conversion-rates and fewer returns.

From the moment automation technologies are set up properly, a business can reach image production volumes unavailable to traditional photography. Much less resources are in use: lower time consumption follows lower space requirements and less skills on the side of equipment operators. A clear long-term competitive advantage results.

Growth is a part of any successful business plan and e-commerce is no different here. More products will be sold over time, needing more product photography and this at the same level of quality and costs. Automated solutions are available for replication on a copy and paste basis. Another studio is bought, the setup is copied, a new operator trained and growth in scale can be enjoyed. Any new workstation can be introduced to various company locations and produce consistently at the same quality. Warehouses in New York and Shanghai? No problem for automated product photography.

In the wide market of e-commerce, there will be cases where photo automation will not turn out to be the optimal solution. Smaller businesses, very specific products, artistic requirements of the sector might all turn the scales to traditional photography. Automation will be of questionable benefit in the following circumstances:

The future of product photography and ecommerce businesses is closely tied to visual presentation. For us, it lies with automation technologies. A to Z automation solutions are getting cleverer, faster and more easy to implement.

Any growing e-shop will find itself on the way to consider the benefits of automation. With this technology, time can be saved, results get surprisingly consistent and the operation can be taken out of the hands of experienced professionals. Less third-party dependency and good process scalability can easily be a game-changer, when considering improvements to the old product photography process.

And this technology is for real, relying not upon a miracle but on hand-craft and engineering. Whats more it is not out of reach. A good example of an all-encompassing solution would be the Orbitvu Alphashot studio series. If you are curious about how this works in practice, check out this video.
