CLEVELAND, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Marketplace Strategy, an official Amazon Advertising partner, announces its proprietary technology, MPS Insights, now includes Downstream technology. Downstream Impact, a member of the Amazon Marketplace Developer Council, partnered with MPS in 2020. Since then, MPS has worked with Downstream to fine-tune the data, insights and automation available to its clients. Now, with the support of Downstream's capabilities, MPS Insights exclusively services clients with best-in-class technology.

Downstream was recently acquired by Jungle Scout, the leading all-in-one platform for selling on Amazon. This acquisition further bolsters the partnership by joining Downstream's robust advertising optimization and reporting capabilities with Jungle Scout's proprietary market data and intelligence.

"There's a considerable amount of technology available to digital marketers today. And, with that, there is a natural temptation to over-automate efforts," Greg Wolny, Executive Vice President at Marketplace Strategy, said, "However, when technology is relied upon too heavily, performance suffers. The idea of working passively with fewer resources is attractive. But it's a dangerous misconception that technology can be a one-size-fits-all solution. MPS takes a conscious approach to how we leverage technology. An appropriate balance of technology and human intelligence has been key to the services we provide at Marketplace Strategy. Combining these strengths allows MPS to create strong, data-backed strategies."

MPS Insights is a complete technology suite developed to enhance the MPS team's ongoing and hands-on efforts.

Introduction: This article describes howdigitization of information and development of new tools andequipment is expanding to improve efficiency, productivity, safetyand almost every aspect of the movement of goods. The focusis on how international organizations, national governments andupgraded trade agreements are improving the ability to adoptinnovative technologies.

UN Suggestions for Adapting Global Value Chains toDigitization: The United Nations Centre for TradeFacilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) proposed theestablishment of an Advisory Group on Advanced Technologies inTrade and Logistics (AGAT), in order to advise and support theUNECE secretariat and UN/CEFACT on advanced technologies in tradefacilitation and electronic business. The technologies inquestion include:

Recognition of Digitization inAgreements: The WTO legal framework lacks specificprovisions in some areas, particularly on customs procedures anddocumentation, and on transparency. The spectacular increase in theamount of goods traded worldwide in the last few years and theadvances in technology and the computerization of businesstransactions added a sense of urgency to the need to make therules more uniform, user-friendly and efficient.

Since at least 2016, the World Customs Organization is activelypromoting the adoption of digital tools. The WCO vision for thefuture includes: paperless customs clearance as the norm,supporting single window approaches to customs processing andworking with countries to develop advanced approaches in areas suchas improved compliance with sanitary and phytosanitaryrequirements.

The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) includes provisions ondigital trade that cover digital information and cross-bordertransfers, but there is little in the agreement that fosters acommitment to innovative digital tools.

Some of the issues with digital trade are addressed in other newregional agreements such as the Pacific Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP), the CPTPP and the African ContinentalFree Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), for example., However, theseagreements also lack commitments to innovation and use of digitaltools to upgrade the supply chain infrastructure.

Single Window Initiatives: A singlewindow is defined as a facility that allows parties involved intrade and transport to lodge standardized information and documentswith a single-entry point to fulfill all import, export, andtransit related-related regulatory requirements. Requirementsvary by country for single window filing, bank transactiondocuments, commercial docs, tracking ships and containers andspecific products, traceability, moving through multiple customsenvironments (FTZ, bonded warehouse, enter and re-export, drawback,rulings in multiple jurisdictions) and other importanttransactional steps.

The process of building out single window infrastructureis not widely adopted in many countries and there is littlemovement to integrate them globally. They are basicallycompatible at the 6-digit level in the Harmonized System, but themovement to add compatibility across more information andregulations will take years, if not decades, as each countrydecides for itself how to approach this fundamental customs processand what is included.

ITC Digital Trade Studies: Technologies such ascloud computingthe delivery of software and other computerservices via the internetare transforming the provision ofinformation and communications technology (ICT) services.Internet technologies transformed how most goods and services inthe economy are produced by helping firms lower their costs andoperate more efficiently while giving consumers improved access toa wider range of products and services. Digital trade enabledSMEs to overcome many of the impediments associated with exportingthat traditionally only larger firms could manage.

In addition, operating online allows worldwide consumerdemand to fuel demand for SME exports of products and services. Theinternet enables firms to improve logistics management, managesupply chains more efficiently, introduce more efficient businesspractices, increase market intelligence, gain greater access tomore markets and customers and develop additional channels forservice delivery.

Food Safety & Technology Trends In 2021:from https://www.sourcetrace.com/blog/food-safety-technology-trends-in-2021/

The movement to improve international trade mechanisms andsystems with digital tools has clearly become a powerful force forinnovation. International organizations need to work todevelop coherence and compatibility among the various tools andbring nations together to truly use the power of these newapproaches. There are many benefits to be derived fromdigitization, including enhanced traceability, improved records,and many others that are being built by innovative companiesglobally.

Lucd Sponsors Women in Technology Virtual Event: Leading with Impact: Diversity and Inclusion - Business Wire

It is a dark, stormy night in the South Atlantic. Coastal radar picks up a boat heading out towards the edge of a countrys 200-mile limit of jurisdiction. The on-board Automatic Identification System (AIS), required by authorities to track and monitor vessel movements, tells the watching coastguard that it is a Panamanian registered industrial trawler.

As it approaches a no-take (meaning fishing is not allowed) Marine Protected Area (MPA), newly designated because of its sensitive bottom habitat, the ships AIS suddenly stops transmitting and the vessel goes dark. A call goes out to authorities responsible for fisheries protection and conservation.

Commonly, a patrol vesselif availablewould be dispatched to see what the boat was doing, but this is at night, in a storm, off an exposed coast. Is there a problem with the AIS and the boat is just transiting over the MPA? Or is there an ulterior motive and the trawler has deployed its nets to scour the seafloor, destroying the habitat and nature protected by the MPA?

A growing number of countries due to meet at the conference of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) later this year have pledged to protect and conserve at least 30 percent of the ocean in a movement dubbed 30 x 30: 30 percent by 2030. Even with those commitments, how do we manage vast areas of ocean to ensure they are providing the protection and restoration so desperately needed for our future?

The example above is hypothetical. If the boats goal turns out to be nefarious and the incident ends as a prosecution in court, visual evidence may be required. Sending out a boat full of rangers, police, or military all takes time, costs money, uses significant additional resources, not to mention carrying safety risks. Its a challenge our marine protectors face across the world.

Most MPAs seek to protect critical ocean habitats and species from one or more existential or predicted threats. The vast majority of such threats, such as pollution and exploitation of nature, are human induced. For an MPA to function effectively there must be science-based monitoring of progress, management of human activities and the environment, surveillance, and enforcement of rules and regulations put into place to abate the threat and protect species and ecosystems.

To do this at scale requires significant effort. Achieving 30 percent protection and conservation of the whole oceanboth coastal and high seasrequires that we protect and conserve 109 million square kilometres (42 million square miles), an area more than 11 times the size of the entire United States.

Global Fishing Watchs map, which tracks the movements of more than 65,000 large fishing vessels in near real time.

Image: Global Fishing Watch

Securing such a vast area requires new cutting-edge technology. Luckily, this field has been developing fast: from hand-held devices for recording coral reef data, to satellite remote sensing of illegal fishing. Maritime surveillance to monitor fishing and animal movements, watch boat movements, track illegal activities, observe pollution, and keep an eye more broadly on the whole exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of a country, are all essential to ensuring that our ocean is managed sustainably.

Yet, as we move to a far greater area over which protection extends, traditional surveillance and enforcement will need to be supplemented by new advances in technology.

By combining data from a range of sources such as direct observations from other maritime operators, synthetic aperture radar, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), infra-red, acoustics, vessel monitoring systems, and real time AIS, a picture of the activities of humans or species such as whales and fish can be built up.

Lets take the fishing vessel in the hypothetical example above that turned off its on-board monitoring system. Perhaps it slowed from a transiting speed of 12 knots down to 3 knots, the speed at which it could trawl. Was it close to whale sharks it was using to attract fish? Is it possible to get an image of the boats activity that could be used in court?

All this information can be picked out of a sea of noisy data. By connecting the data to existing systems that rangers or authorities use, such as the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) system, we can develop powerful tools not just for enforcement, but also for day-to-day management.

It should be stressed here that the use of monitoring and surveillance technology is not all about catching bad guys doing illegal acts. It is also about monitoring movements of species (for example, acoustic monitoring of whales) and measuring changes in habitats under different management regimes such the MERMAID crowd-sourced coral monitoring technology.

Surveillance and technology needs to be met with a sense of shared responsibility to save our oceans.

Image: Rhett A. Butler/Mongabay

This new tech is also useful for tracking and protecting rangers or small-scale fishers. It can build up a picture of how we use our seas so that management plans can be put in place to increase the sustainability of commercial activities.

Surveillance and enforcement with the best technology in the world does not replace the need for engagement of the people, communities, and sectors that rely upon the sea for their livelihoods. Raising awareness of the need to act legally and responsibly remains a major element of the work of organizations such as WCS.

As we work to achieve sustainable seas, protect nature, reverse biodiversity loss, and reduce the threat of climate change, we must up our game using all the tools available to us.

Those tools will include new, advanced technology. Nature conservation appears to be both keeping up and leading the way in the application of that technology to real world challenges. So as countries decide whether to move to a minimum of 30 percent protection at CBD, I say bring it on. Conservationists will be there with the latest technology to help ensure success.

This article is a commentary and the views expressed are those of the author, not necessarily Mongabay.

5G IoT Market Research Report by Range, by Radio Technology, by Industry - Global Forecast to 2025 - Cumulative Impact of COVID-19 - GlobeNewswire

SALISBURY, England, March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Royal Mint and Ploughshare Innovations are pleased to announce a new collaboration that will enable industry to access The Royal Mint's unique innovations.

Best known for making coins and medals, The Royal Mint's expertise also includes a range of overt and covert anti-counterfeiting technologies that are utilised in many of their products. For the first time, innovations such as The Royal Mint's "High Security Feature" will be available for other organisations to benefit from.

Commenting on this latest collaboration, Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, Ploughshare's CEO said:

"I am really pleased to see the expert technology transfer services we provide being utilised by other parts of Government. This will allow even more of the Government's investment in research and development to be adopted by industry and in turn give them a competitive advantage and help the UK economy."

The High Security Feature is an industry-leading next generation solution for covert security. The previous strongest covert security check was the Electro-Magnetic Signature, however, as the coin wears over time it can lead to inconsistencies in it being recognised by various equipment. This new technology offers banknote-level security in a coin, or other metals, for the first time.

Available either as a service from The Royal Mint or by licensing the technology, the High Security Feature delivers an anti-counterfeiting system for metal components and structures that provides absolute assurance where it matters most.

Sean Millard, Chief Growth Officer at The Royal Mint remarked:

"The Royal Mint has been a leader in the management of precious metals for hundreds of years innovating through design, manufacturing and customer experience. Developing advanced security measures that provide customers with peace of mind is a key focus for The Royal Mint. By working with Ploughshare Innovations we will be able to bring the benefits of our innovative features to the broader business community."

This collaboration further increases Ploughshare's pool of Intellectual Property which already includes the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), the Ministry of Defence Front-Line Commands, the Institute of Naval Medicine, and the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE).

Ploughshare will incorporate these new technologies into its proven processes which creates license deals and spin-out companies. Interested parties are invited to contact Ploughshare for more details.
