How to Ease the Pain of Physical Inventory Counts

How to Ease the Pain of Physical Inventory Counts

This new white paper tells you the key inventory count challenges that companies are dealing with and shows you how to ease the pain using a unified, cloud ERP solution.

This robot can out the source of an ethanol leak in a clever way. Rather than just following the strongest scent, the robot plugs measurements of concentration and airflow into a complex partial differential equation and then decides where the most useful position to take another measurement is. By repeating this process, it can find an ethanol source in just a dozen or two tries in a complex environment with multiple sources.

Robot Sniffs Out Toxic Leaks

It makes calculations on the fly to account for complex airflows rather than simply 'following its nose.'

A view of a microwave scan of a typical wall interior before and after distortions have been removed. By taking into account the types of distortions typically created by flat, uniform walls, the new algorithm allows for better scans without needing to know what the wall is made of beforehand.

Researchers Find Way to See Through Walls

Most technologies that can see through walls are expensive. This one isn't.
