Connected logistics refers to system of interconnected devices that are designed to facilitate faster, uniform, and accessible mode of communication for better interoperability among involved entities such as manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, end users, and others. It can also be described as integration of connected technologies such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and others. Furthermore, the demand for connected logistics is on an increase in the recent years, owing to its features such as seamless operation, real-time communication, and integration of information, which enables informed decision making and streamlined logistical business processes. The global connected logistics market was valued at $16,774 million in 2016, and is projected to reach at $27,722 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 7.60% from 2017 to 2023.

An x-ray detector is an electronic device that detects radiation of x-ray or gamma ray for imaging purposes. X-ray imaging is an important non-destructive testing (NDT) technique for products such as circuit boards, concrete parts, and metals. This technique is also useful to detect Cracks and very fine manufacturing defects, thus maintaining quality, product reliability, and various other physical properties of the materials. NDT uses various testing methods to evaluate the object, material, or system without damaging or destroying it. This testing assures that the structural and mechanical components perform their function in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner.

Microwavable food is defined as a prepackaged meal or food product that requires minimal preparation for cooking. Shelf stable microwavable food, chilled food, and frozen food are categorized under products that can be prepared in a microwave. Microwaves cause water, fat, and sugar molecules to vibrate 2.5 million times per second, producing heat that enables food to get cooked. Foods that can be safely stored at room temperature or “on the shelf” are called shelf stable microwavable foods. These foods are pretreated by heat or dried to destroy food-borne microorganisms. Microwavable chilled foods are stored at refrigeration temperatures, i.e., at or below 0 to −5°C. Chilled food products have high quality and are microbiologically safe at the point of consumption, although they have a low shelf life. Microwavable frozen foods are preferred over microwavable chilled foods, as they can be stored for longer periods and can be prepared in less time. Freezing maintains the nutritional value of the food items and also increases their shelf life. Microwavable frozen products do not require any added preservatives because microorganisms are unable to grow when the temperature of the food is below −9.5°C.

Smart wearable gloves are electronic devices that make use of microcontrollers and involve an electronic-human interface. These are worn on hands as an accessory that incorporates practical functions as well as features. These smart devices are used as a fashion statement, fitness tracker, specific health issue monitoring device, media device, or is connected to other smart devices. The smart glove market is expected to witness significant growth in the future owing to a rise in purchasing power and strengthening economy across the globe.

Sinusitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation along the sinus lining, which lead to nose blockage and further avoid the mucus drainage. Sinus dilation devices are medical devices used to expand the sinus openings of a patient's nose to treat drainage issues related to nasal sinuses or sinusitis. One of the advanced sinus dilation procedure is the balloon sinus dilation, a minimally invasive procedure that replaces the traditional sinus surgeries procedure. During balloon sinus dilation procedure, a doctor reshapes the patient's sinus pathway with inflated balloons to open the blocked sinus or nasal pathway. The procedure is generally preferred over decongestants, antibiotics, or steroids, as it provides immediate and long-lasting results.

Popcorn is a type of maize or corn kernel, which expands and puffs up when heated. It is prepared by heating corn kernel, which turns the water into steam, builds pressure inside the kernel, and converts it into popcorn. It is a snacking choice almost in all countries and regions. Two types of popcorn are available commercially— ready–to-eat and microwave popcorn. These are mainly used as snack at homes as well as in the movie theatres, fairs, and circus. Butter, cheese, and caramel are the traditional flavors available in the market. Whereas new flavors such as jalapeno, sea salt, cracked pepper, bacon, and salted caramel are introduced recently in the market.

Oil & gas security and services are used to shield a natural gas industrial plant or oil exploration site. The oil & gas cyber security services ensure shielding of the technological implementations, such as distributed control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), OPC servers and other operational technologies. Oil & gas security serves network as well as physical security across offshore and onshore operations. The increase in high-profile cyber-attacks and strict government regulation generates the acute necessity for oil & gas security services. To overcome these problems, oil & gas security services offer protection against cyber threats and security breaches. Technologically advanced security solutions provides numerous benefits together with real time hazards incidents alerts, directly to the concerned person within the organization. It helps scale back interruptions and reduces the danger from security breaches. However, high cost of implementation and slow adoption of network security solutions are some of the major disadvantages of oil & gas security solutions.

Growth in penetration of smartphones and personal devices, such as tablets and smart watches, along with the evolving technology, has transformed an individual’s way of living. The mobile payment trend has taken over traditional payment method, owing to current cashless transactions done using mobiles as a payment method. This payment method is easy and a hassle-free way to pay money virtually. Increased adoption of mobile payment in emerging economies of Asia- Pacific is expected to continue to foster growth in the mobile payment market in the coming years.

Medical simulation is the virtual duplication of in situ activities or phenomenon, representing the functions and properties of a selective real abstract or process. It is used to train healthcare professionals using advanced healthcare technologies. The global medical simulation market was valued at $986.09 million in 2016, and is estimated to reach $2,525.54 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2017 to 2023.

Medical computer carts are devices intended to ease the work load of nurses along with other healthcare professionals that assist in enhancing patient care and safety. These carts form a crucial aspect of medical aid, as they facilitate bedside patient care through their ability to record, store, and dispense equipment, supplies, pharmaceuticals, patient information, and related data.
