A report from Market Research Future finds that the global AI in workspace market is projected to see a compound annual growth rate of 41 percent in the forecast period 2018-2023. An excerpt from the report summary reads:

Artificial Intelligence technology is advancing by leaps and bounds in the current industry. It has been one of the most rapidly-growing technologies. With the help of AI, huge amounts of data are combined with fast, iterative processing. Along with the AI algorithms, the software can learn patterns and characteristics from the data. The machine can also learn from its previous mistakes and improvise. The complex raw data is thus analyzed for business insights by just being connected to smart devices every day. Thus, the workspace gets more productive and efficient by application of analytics and AI. Manufacturers of AI face huge underlying intellectual challenges in the development of the technology as it is evolving every day. With AI, the situations and possibilities which were science fiction, have now become a real and integral part of the workspace. AI is considered as one of the most basic technologies of the next gen software technologies in the market.

#AI Tech Increasingly Leveraged in the Oil & Gas Industry; (NASDAQ: $NVDA) (TSXV: $MCLD.V) (OTCQB: $MCDLP) (NYSE: $ACN) (NYSE: $RDS_A)


#AI Tech Increasingly Leveraged in the Oil & Gas Industry; (NASDAQ: $NVDA) (TSXV: $MCLD.V) (OTCQB: $MCDLP) (NYSE: $ACN) (NYSE: $RDS_A)



Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – February 28, 2019 – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at advancements in artificial intelligence in 2019 and beyond.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is penetrating many industry verticals in various ways, and the oil & gas sector is no exception. Recent data from market research site Mordor Intelligence reveals that the AI in the oil & gas market will exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.14 percent from 2018-2023. And as the technology improves, the array of applications correspondingly increases, ranging from “streamlining the overall production process” to “controlling the wastage across the endpoints”.


An instance of a comprehensive AI solution in the space is the collaboration between NVIDIA Corporation (NasdaqGS:NVDA) and Baker Hughes, a GE Company.  A blog post from NVIDIA claims that the two companies’ partnership “spans the operations of oil companies. And it does so using the full breadth of our AI solutions”.

This includes NVIDIA DGX-1 AI supercomputers in data centers for model training; NVIDIA DGX Stations for supercomputing at the desk side — or even on remote offshore platforms where bandwidth is limited; and NVIDIA Jetson AI supercomputers-on-a-module for real-time, continuous deep learning and inferencing at the edge.

More recently, Universal mCloud Corp. (TSXV:MCLD.V) (OTCQB:MCLDP), an AI Analytics, IoT connected asset care cloud solution company, signed a three-year global licensing agreement with Fulcrum Automation Technologies Ltd to deploy the former’s AssetCare platform in the oil, gas, and refining industries, targeted at $15 million USD. According to their website, mCloud’s AssetCare works “through a combination of AI-driven control and optimization, and mobile asset management capabilities delivered on smartphones, tablets, and digital eyewear”. Explaining the platform, mCloud President and CEO Russ McMeekin said:

"We created AssetCare with the objective to serve a diverse portfolio of critical assets. The application of AssetCare in the oil, gas and refining markets presents a strong opportunity for mCloud to broaden its reach, achieve higher margins and address the industry's need for deep energy analytics. mCloud will leverage its Founders' decades of experience working with many of the global Fortune 50 companies in the market and will greatly benefit from Fulcrum's strong presence in the industry."

Accenture (NYSE:ACN), which boasts over 40 years of collaboration with software company SAP SE, recently announced plans to co-develop the latter’s SAP S/4HANA Cloud solution designed to help oil and gas companies significantly cut operational costs and create new revenue opportunities. According to the announcement, the SAP S/4HANA is a: “portfolio of intelligent cloud services that set new industry standards with more transparency into operations and cash flow through cutting-edge technologies including artificial intelligence (AI), mobility and blockchain”.

Frank Westerhof, general manager of Enterprise Platforms at Shell (NYSE:RDS-A), who are providing input for the cloud solution said:

“Delivery of oil and gas industry requirements within SAP S/4HANA Cloud will enable us to accelerate our strategy towards a standard SaaS ERP platform. We are very happy to see SAP collaborate with Accenture to develop these industry requirements, given Accenture’s 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.”

And Shell, one of the five biggest oil & gas companies in the world, have themselves had considerable involvement with AI. A report from the Wall Street Journal last year said Shell: “will use technology from C3 IoT and Microsoft Corp.’s Azure to predict when maintenance is needed on compressors, valves, and other equipment; help steer drill bits through shale deposits; and improve the safety of employees and customers. Shell also is using artificial intelligence tools from Bonsai, a company Microsoft bought earlier this year that builds software to help computers run autonomously”.

Like many other industry verticals, AI is advancing in the oil & gas sector with considerable speed and vigor, and even from within the industry, as with Shell.

SEAT Uses IBM Watson for ‘Mobile Advisor’, Accenture Launches Applied Intelligence Platform and Avnet Teams with Octanion and Orange for SmartEdge Agile IoT Device
Stocks discussed: (NYSE:IBM) (NYSE:ACN) (NasdaqGS:AVT)

SEAT, one of Europe’s biggest automobile manufacturers, has teamed with IBM (NYSE:IBM) to launch ‘Mobile Advisor’. ‘Mobile Advisor’ is powered by IBM’s Watson AI and runs on the IBM Cloud “to provide users with a conversational interface to plan and optimise routes and suggest the most suitable transportation options”. Watson Machine Learning allows Mobile Advisor to memorize a driver’s habits and preferences and generate custom routes based on them. Jordi Caus, SEAT's Head of New Urban Mobility Concepts said:

“With its advanced cloud and AI technologies, IBM is helping us to innovate new approaches to mobility that will transform our business strategy while improving the lives of people living in urban areas."

Accenture (NYSE:ACN) launched its Applied Intelligence Platform yesterday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. According to the press release, the platform “allows organizations to apply pre-configured self-learning industry solutions, as well as develop new solutions, without the need for deep data science expertise”. Mike Sutcliff, group chief executive, Accenture Digital, explained:

“The Applied Intelligence Platform enables AI-powered transformation at scale as clients will be able to systematically embed AI across their operations — from the edge right through to the cloud. Thanks to the platform, the power to leverage AI to drive unprecedented new growth and efficiencies and unlock new insights, business models and experiences is within reach of every organization.”

Avnet, Inc. (NasdaqGS:AVT) and IoT company Octonion have joined with mobile network provider Orange to launch the Avnet SmartEdge Agile IoT device.

“The LTE-M network is an ideal network for IoT edge computing, and when combined with Avnet’s SmartEdge Agile IoT Device, customers will be able to deploy smart, secure IoT solutions quickly and cost effectively. Our relationship with Octonion, Sequans, and now Orange, the first mobile operator to deploy an LTE-M solution at the edge, gives us a ‘first mover advantage,’ further solidifying the unique value Avnet’s ecosystem delivers to customers.”
