AI in Manufacturing to See 40% CAGR from 2019-2025

According to new data published by Global Market Insights, the AI in manufacturing market is projected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 40 percent in the forecast period of 2019 - 2025. An excerpt from the report summary reads:

The exponential growth in digital data is driving growth of artificial intelligence in manufacturing market. It is estimated that by 2020, approximately 1.7 megabytes of new data will be created every second. It is further estimated to grow at an annual growth rate of 40% over the next 10 years. This growth is credited to the increasing adoption of big data technologies and IoT devices along with the rise in popularity of cloud platforms among enterprises. This is encouraging the adoption of the advance data analytics solutions among the manufacturers to process the data and extract actionable insights.

However, the adoption of the technology in the manufacturing sector is still in the nascent stage due to the presence of several challenges in implementation of the AI technology in the industries. The complex nature of the industrial data and lack of skilled IT workforce in the industrial plants is hindering the adoption of the technology.

#AI Technology Playing Key Role in #Logistics and Transportation; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (CSE: $LLT.C) (OTC: $LLNKF) (TSX: $MG.TO) (NYSE: $MGA) (NASDAQ: $SOLO)

#AI Technology Playing Key Role in #Logistics and Transportation; (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (CSE: $LLT.C) (OTC: $LLNKF) (TSX: $MG.TO) (NYSE: $MGA) (NASDAQ: $SOLO)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 20, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering the tech sector looks at the future of transportation as autonomous vehicles, electric cars, smart cars and advanced tracking technology all become the new norm, thanks to innovation from AI, blockchain and other technologies.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/technology/02201Stocks-AI-Logistics.asp

You can’t talk about the future of transportation without naming Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), founded in 2003 by visionary Elon Musk, who is also looking at a whole new level of transportation with SpaceX.

Not satisfied with being the leader in electric cars, the company also says, “All Tesla vehicles produced in our factory, including Model 3, have the hardware needed for full self-driving capability at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver.”

In the Tesla Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2018 Update in January they reported, ”In the past two years, Tesla vehicles have accounted for all of the electric vehicle (EV) volume growth in the US. Even with the radical EV growth in the second half of 2018, EVs still account for just 2% of the total US market, and there remains a substantial opportunity for EVs to continue to gain marketshare in the US and globally. Consumer purchases have demonstrated that EVs are becoming a preferred option, as EVs in Q4 2018 outsold hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) in the US for the first time in history.”

But there are still some issues to work out for Tesla, including logistics as Forbes reported, “Tesla Confronts "Logistic Nightmares" For Model 3 Says Musk.” Tesla is to deliver up to 400,000 vehicles world-wide this year, so it’s a problem that needs to be resolved.

Litelink Technologies Inc. (CSE: LLT) (OTC: LLNKF), a key player in technology and artificial intelligence within the logistics sector is hoping to bring new technology solutions to the transportation industry. The company uses artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to solve the logistics industry’s fragmented and outdated technology problems.

The company recently released an update on its 1SHIFT Logistics platform. The 1SHIFT trials were planned with the objectives of delivering the capability for a shipper to select amongst a preferred set of carriers, and then track the shipment until successfully delivered.  A trucker will provide trip status and flag any issues via the 1SHIFT mobile app to minimize the communications with all parties and quickly resolve any obstacles for on-time delivery.

“We have received positive market feedback both on our web and mobile solutions to date.  By getting our mobile app in the hands of real truckers, we were able to make improvements that will significantly improve user experience, reduce mobile data usage, and at the same time verify our solution scalability and security.  This is exactly the type of product feedback we were looking for prior to large-scale commercial launch,” states COO, Kent Churn.  “Investing in an early alpha trial only helps us improve what is not working, and validates what is working well.”

Magna International Inc. (TSX:MG.TO) (NYSE:MGA), one of the world's largest automotive suppliers has industry roots going back to 1957 when it began working with General Motors. Now the company says it’s racing to the future with new technology.

AT CES 2019, Magna introduced the company's future vision of how electrification, autonomy and smart mobility intersect:

"At CES 2019, ‘Welcome to Mobility' is Magna's vision of the future where electrification, autonomy and smart mobility are all intertwined," said Magna CTO, Swamy Kotagiri. "Leveraging more than 60 years of experience designing and developing new technology, Magna helps customers striving to change the entire vehicle experience, not just a few components. We are excited to demonstrate this holistic advantage at CES."

Talking about electrification technology, Magna says, “Global automotive trends serve as our signposts - and we have reached many milestones on our way to powertrain electrification.”

Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles with deep attachments in the automotive sector, recently said in an update to shareholders, “Our timing in entering this exciting new market could not have been better. The automotive industry is undergoing transformational changes throughout, with legacy automakers being disrupted by new EV entrants who are uniquely providing aspirational electric vehicles that consumers actually want to purchase.”

They also recently reported; ”Vehicle production and delivery from the Zongshen factory will ramp up throughout 2019 and the Company remains on track to commence deliveries of vehicles to customers.”

So what does the future hold?  Experts predict that “A person in almost any major city for example, could by 2040 be able to step out their front door to find waiting the autonomous pod they ordered from a nearby multi- storey charging station only minutes earlier.”

The Importance of #AI Innovation for US Economy - ( $IBM) ( $NVDA) (OTCQB: $GOPH) ( $BIDU) ( $TCEHY)

The Importance of #AI Innovation for US Economy - ( $IBM) ( $NVDA) (OTCQB: $GOPH) ( $BIDU) ( $TCEHY)

POINT ROBERTS, Wash. and DELTA, British Columbia - February 20, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at the battle for dominance between the US and China.

On February 11, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Maintaining American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence. The document stresses the importance of AI in propelling the US economy and cites current American global leadership in terms of R&D and deployment of AI as justifications for ramping up federal government commitments to promote the technology.

Though it is not explicitly mentioned in the document, many commentators felt that the growing rivalry with China in the AI space influenced the President’s executive order. Rob Verger, writing for Popular Science, captured the impression of those commentators when he observed: “Competition with China is a big part of the subtext to this announcement…”

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/GOPH/news/2019/02201AI-Economy.asp

Some US AI companies were quick to respond. An article published the same day on The Hill quotes IBM:

"Today’s order is a critical step in the launch of America’s national AI strategy. We commend and welcome the order’s emphasis on specific priorities that IBM had recommended, such as the ethical advancement of AI, expanding 21st century apprenticeship opportunities to build an AI-ready workforce, leveraging government data to accelerate AI development that can deliver shared prosperity, and prioritizing AI in federal research and development.”

The contents of the executive order were anticipated by Ian Buck, VP and General Manager of NVIDIA’s (NasdaqGS:NVDA) Tesla Data Center Business, when he opined that the government was best suited to direct investment.

“There’s simply no replacement for the federal government significantly increasing support for fundamental research to bolster university research. Funding drives research. Research, in turn, drives innovation, from startups to multinationals.”

Among the listed objectives outlined in the order include enhancing “access to high-quality and fully traceable Federal data, models, and computing resources”. Brookings Institution observed that “having better access to government data would strengthen the training of AI algorithms”. An example of a company that would benefit from this larger and more vetted data pool is Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH), whose Avant! AI platform’s Knowledge Retrieval Algorithm (KRA) utilizes robust semantic analysis for large text collections and multimedia objects. Company CTO, Dr. Danny Rittman explained:

"Our KRA system analyzes documents, identifies and indexes text and then assigns different technique to "understand" its meaning and make a decision if it is viable or non-relevant.”

One thing Trump’s plan omits however, is any specific information on commitments to federal funding. This is starkly different from China’s AI policy, which aims to establish a $150 billion USD industry by 2030, according to an article from Fortune. And while American businesses like Google, Amazon and IBM currently lead the world in AI spending, a ZDNet piece indicates that Chinese companies are expected to spend a staggering $256.61 billion USD on tech purchases this year, with much of that going to AI.

Baidu, Inc. (NasdaqGS:BIDU), for instance, boasts over 2000 employees working on AI, including former top Google engineer Andrew Ng, whom they lured away in 2014. In mid- January, Xilinx announced that the newly unveiled EdgeBoard, Baidu's edge acceleration computing solution is enabled by Xilinx. The EdgeBoard is a turn-key solution which is available, fully configured, directly from Baidu. It can also be configured and customized as part of the Baidu Brain AI Hardware Platform initiative, developed to deliver proven market-specific technologies to the industry so that companies can quickly adopt and deploy them for edge-specific applications.

Back in the US, NVIDIA’s (NasdaqGS:NVDA) DRIVE autopilot, the world's first commercially available Level 2+ automated driving system, debuted at the CES 2019 conference last month. DRIVE utilizes multiple AI technologies, including AI copilot capabilities and advanced in-cabin visualization of the vehicle's computer vision system. But this is rivaled by one of Baidu’s principle AI projects, the Apollo driverless car program. And with the Chinese autonomous car market projected to hit $500 billion USD by 2030, it may not be surprising for them to eclipse their American counterparts.

Tencent Holdings Limited (OTC:TCEHY), is a fellow Chinese tech giant that is comparable to Google in its scope of services. One project that distinguishes it from many other big tech companies however, is its Tencent Miying Engine, which helps healthcare institutions with diagnoses. According to Nasdaq, “With more than 38,000 medical institutes, especially in China, using [Tencent platform] WeChat, Tencent is using data to transform and uplift the medical industry in the country.”

Though many US companies applauded Trump’s AI initiative, others were critical that it wasn’t as much of a commitment as that seen from the communist Chinese state. Historically, centralized states like that of China have failed to out-compete freer markets like the United States, but it is hard to ignore the dedication and consequent momentum seen from the People’s Republic.

So it’s a tale of cats and dogs; Baidu just announced the creation of a cat shelter using artificial intelligence and in the US, Gopher Protocol Inc. used its AI tech in its pet tracking technology. Let the race continue.
