Is it time for dynamic parcel networks in the CEP industry?

Despite the potential, the concept of a dynamic parcel network is highly ambitious and the CEP sector has a way to go before it can become a reality, says Østergaard. He differentiates between the telecoms and electricity industries cited above and the CEP industry in that the former are completely digital transmissions, while the latter is very physical. Østergaard says: “We need to figure out how to get physical systems to follow the digital. After all, it’s not possible for a SaaS solution

Digital twins in airports: How a 3D visualisation can improve baggage handling operations

It’s not hard to see why digital twins are becoming an imperative for businesses and why many airports and other industries are adopting this technology. Having digital copies of systems gives airports the ability to make decisions within a data model, analyse the outcomes and optimise the results - all by using the system layout (the digital twin) as a storyteller. But what is a digital twin, precisely? 'Put simply, a digital twin is a digital replica or a digital overlay of a physical asset

Airport analytics use case: How to improve baggage handling efficiency

The typical approach to efficiency in airports has been based on the idea that airport operations are steady states to which operators could apply efficiency initiatives to reduce waste over time. But we know that airport operations are anything but linear and in reality involve a lot of irregularities. It’s not surprising, then, that we are starting to see a new phase of efficiency management evolving whereby what is needed to improve airport efficiency is actually the ability to predict irreg

Time to kill the bill? - Alternative fee arrangements in the legal industry – Legal Tech Weekly

So says author, professor and specialist in legal technology, Richard Susskind. Unless law firms change the way they deliver and bill services, he says, they will not be able to carry on as they have done for the foreseeable future. Nick Lakhani, Financial Director at UK firm asb law concurs: “This may have suited law firms to date but it puts our interests in conflict with those of the client. The longer a legal problem exists (hours), and the more resource is thrown at it (people), the mor

Do lawyers need to learn to code? – Legal Tech Weekly

There is a new class of lawyer in town - one that is just as comfortable with code as appearing in court. They are being called the “techno-legals” by some, “lawyer-coders” or “lawyer-developers” by others. Whatever the title, their dual set of skills are becoming increasingly valuable in a digital driven world. Some in the legal profession even believe that the new literacy of coding is now a requirement of lawyers. Certainly, this is the view of Australian firm, Gilbert + Tobin, who embark

Clouded Judgment - Lawyers and the Cloud – Legal Tech Weekly

In the early days of network design, engineers would spend a lot of effort mapping and visualising the networks of the devices they were developing. Some of these networks, however, were connected to a larger network known as the internet. This network was unknown terrain: a domain outside their domain of knowledge, since it consisted of an undefined amount of nodes. So how do you visualise that? You draw a cloud, obviously. A cloud requires very little skill to draw and it works as the perf

Coming Clean: How cleantech clusters benefit from idea management

You’d have to be living under a rock to not understand why there’s a rush on cleantech. Yup, the world (apart from a certain someone, looking at you Mr. Trump) is finally waking up to the challenges of climate change and other critical sustainability issues. This is creating an urgency to find clean technology solutions. A growing number of companies are seizing this chance to change the world. Just look at the Cleantech Group’s Global Cleantech 100 list for 2018. Its winning companies showcase
