This study defines location intelligence (also known as location-based services [LBS]) as a suite of hardware, software, and services that help organizations unearth geographic context from enterprise data by: Acquiring location data associated with assets, users, and customers, Combining this data with those from other sources (internal and external) to enhance it, and Performing spatial analysis on this data to yield contextual insights It drives managerial decisions, improves business outcomes, and helps in introducing new services. Location intelligence draws on capabilities from 3 technology domains in creating solutions tailored to customer needs.

The constant development in the agricultural industry led to the need for a standardized communication system for various agricultural equipment. Agricultural equipment standardization first began in Germany in 1988 under the control of Verband Deutscher Maschinen- und Anlagenbau e.V. (VDMA), which resulted in a national standard DIN9684. The development toward agricultural standardization led to the creation of an international ISO-based standard, ISO 11783. Due to constant developments, the tractors, as well as other agricultural equipment, have become more complex. Inter-equipment communication, especially at the equipment level, has been taken into consideration while establishing the ISOBUS standard. Also, the increased emphasis on precision farming and autonomous harvesting devices needs a standardized network to deploy its benefits.

Industrial microbiology is the branch of applied microbiology that involves the utilization of microorganisms in industrial processes such as pharmaceutical drugs development, vaccines production, industrial fermentation, wastewater treatment, and industrial chemical treatment. Industrial microbiological quality control includes the use of products and services for the identification and control of microbial species in the manufacturing of food items, beverages, drugs, cosmetics, biologics, and other industrial products in large quantities.

There was near-100% compliance toward fleet average fuel economy and emissions. Almost all OEMs met CO2 and fuel-economy targets in the EU and US. All except VW accumulated credits and doubled EV sales in H2 2020 in the EU. VW missed out on its targets by 0.5g/km, resulting in fines of more than €100 million at the rate of €95 per gram of CO2/km above the target. 2 Downsizing and boosting were on the rise. While boosting is most prevalent in the EU, other regions across the globe are now seeing increased penetration. Boosting technology is now subjected to electrification with electrified supercharger or turbocharger, specifically in premium segments, for further optimization of downsizing and energy recovery.

In the last few years, some of the major technological advancements have taken place in the information technological sector and handling passenger information system. Such software and service activities has led to increased product innovation and services for Passenger Information System and demand. Increasing advance technologies, rise in demand for mobile based applications that provides hassle-free operations, and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology are some of the factors, which are expected to create lucrative opportunity for the Passenger Information System market in the upcoming years. It becomes necessary for passengers to present real-time information. Apart from only static or scheduled information they also demand intelligent public transportation system which provides real time information of different regions, drivers, routes, upcoming stations, weather conditions, cancellation of tickets etc. As the demand for real-time information of passengers is increasing,

A review for the European Commission estimated that driver distraction is a likely factor in 10% to 30% of road collisions in Europe each year. Driver monitoring system enhances a vehicle’s safety by addressing the critical challenge of monitoring driver drowsiness and attention. The automotive industry has accepted and adopted DMS as a critical component for vehicles with partial and conditional autonomous driving features, which involves handover of dynamic driving tasks between the driver and the system.

The offline segment holds the largest distribution channel share, owing to the increasing number of footwear retail outlets in emerging economies, such as Brazil, China, India. Also, regularly changing in-store display shelves and windows brings in repeat customers who look forward to and track new arrivals coming in. Customers want more from their retailers in terms of style options, modern in-store experiences and a variety of fast-fashion brands to choose from. Brand experience, ‘everything at one place’ facility, and easy return policies act as drivers for the offline segment. Increasing the spending power of consumers and rising health awareness is anticipated to boost its global business. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic and rules like, lockdown, social-distancing, curfews, etc. are resulted into poor footfalls. The demand is subdued as people are still wary to come to stores, walkins have reduced.

Businesses are increasingly required to provide responsive, personal, and adaptable customer service by answering questions, solving problems, and giving advice to customers in a conversational, human, and effective way. With the increase in the number of connected devices with cameras and the millennials becoming a key consumer segment, driving a shift in consumer behavior, the demand for visual communication is rapidly increasing. Visual engagement refers to real-time collaboration with customers on channels that incorporate a dynamic visual element. Visual engagement tools—video, cobrowsing, screen sharing, and annotations—can help agents to better support customers and connect emotionally with them. The incorporation of visual engagement into the customer journey has created more effective and human interactions between customers and organizations, enhancing not only the CX, but also the agent experience (AX).
