AI Edge Processor Shipments to Hit 1.5 Billion by 2023 – IDC

According to a press release yesterday, market intelligence firm International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts that worldwide shipments of AI-optimized processors for edge systems will reach 340.1 million units in 2019, an increase of 170 percent over the previous year, and that by 2023, the market will reach unit shipments of 1.5 billion with a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 64.9 percent. Michael J. Palma, research director in IDC's Enabling Technologies and Semiconductor research team, said:

"The success of AI resides in systems deployed to the edge, where instant decisions made by neural networks can actually create value, unfettered by latency and connectivity issues that can challenge cloud-based solutions. But the promise of AI at the edge depends on the development of highly efficient compute processing elements, optimized for AI workloads, that support the power-constrained nature of most edge systems. Currently, discrete accelerators offer the greatest performance but add to BOM costs. Eventual success will likely rest on the integration of AI-optimized processing elements within host processors."

#Technology and the #Automotive Sector–Connected Cars Driving the Future of Vehicle Safety (TSXV: $SIM.V) (OTCQX: $SYATF) (NYSE: $BB) (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (TSX: $T.TO)

#Technology and the #Automotive Sector–Connected Cars Driving the Future of Vehicle Safety (TSXV: $SIM.V) (OTCQX: $SYATF) (NYSE: $BB) (NASDAQ: $TSLA) (TSX: $T.TO)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 5, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering technology and automotive stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on connected car technology and how it will play a leading role in automotive safety in the future.   

According to Adroit Market Research, “The global connected cars market was valued at $73.18 Billion USD in 2018. The global connected cars market is primarily driven by high adoption in the telematics segment. Along with that, factors that have reinforced the market include trend of connectivity solutions and an increase in the need for safety & security.”

Siyata Mobile Inc. (TSX-V:SIM) (OTCQX:SYATF), a leading provider of in-vehicle communication devices is evolving the conversation surrounding automotive safety having just announced the launch of its groundbreaking Uniden ® UV350 on the AT&T network and FirstNet platform.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/auto/06051Stocks-VehicleSafety.asp

FirstNet is being built with AT&T in a public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) – an independent agency within the federal government. It’s designed for first responders and those critical to their emergency response. With this much-needed technology upgrade, first responders can connect to the critical information they need every day and in every emergency.

The FirstNet Ready UV350 device supports FirstNet’s First Priority – which includes priority and preemption for first responders – and FirstNet’s Band 14 spectrum. The company’s UV350 is the only device specifically designated for in-vehicle communications that has been tested and certified to operate on FirstNet.

The Uniden® UV350 is built and designed to minimize the excessive clutter often found in the cabin of firetrucks, ambulances, yellow school buses and police squad cars by combining the functions of multiple devices into one. Using Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC), drivers can communicate crystal-clear sound at the touch of a button, and unlike traditional cellular communication devices, the UV350 is powered by the vehicle battery, ensuring drivers are always connected in emergency situations.

Before being certified and approved for use on FirstNet, devices are subject to hundreds of tests that cover a number of aspects, from security and durability to network impacts. This helps make sure that they can meet the needs of first responders. All FirstNet Ready devices are listed at on the FirstNet device page.

“FirstNet devices and modules go through extensive review, so First Responders can be confident that Siyata’s UV350 meets the highest standards for reliability, security and performance,” said Bob Sloan, Chief Operating Officer, FirstNet program at AT&T. “The more tools public safety has access to on their network, the more we can help them achieve their mission. We are happy to be the first U.S. cellular carrier to launch Uniden’s NextGen Vehicle Communicator – an innovative in-vehicle mounted phablet. We believe it will be an excellent answer for both existing and newly migrating FirstNet subscribers seeking an in-vehicle communication device.”

A recent Frost and Sullivan report supports the Siyata Mobile Inc. strategy noting, "Connected car makers will be eager to build strategic partnerships with telecom providers and communication module makers to augment on-road safety and offer in-vehicle, data-rich services."

BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) (TSX: BB), looking at connected cars and security says, “Cybersecurity is top of mind for automakers as their cars become more connected to the outside world. Today’s vehicles are computers on wheels—with over 100 million lines of software per car. This degree of connectivity allows bad actors to hack into cars and their software, with the potential to create havoc. The risk posed to automakers can be mitigated with a well-designed end-to-end security solution and alignment with security best practices.”

BlackBerry received $40 million in federal funding to help develop technologies that make cars safer, more connected to cyberspace and eventually, capable of driving themselves. Back in February the company announced that it had completed an Australian Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment by an accredited IRAP auditor.  The assessment enables BlackBerry Cylance to obtain the IRAP certification. The company will be the first endpoint security provider to receive IRAP certification, allowing Australian government agencies to protect their environments with AI-driven security solutions.

Solutions certified under the IRAP program meet the expected Australian government security requirements, as defined by the attorney general's Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). All federal government entities applying the ISM are restricted to using IRAP-compliant applications running on cloud services listed on the Certified Cloud Services List. 

"Federal agencies can now take advantage of AI-driven, prevention-first security solutions for the first time. With access to BlackBerry Cylance solutions, government and commercial entities can drive a prevention-first strategic approach to cyber, without the friction and complexity that occurs with many other security controls today," said Jason Duerden, country manager for Australia and New Zealand at BlackBerry Cylance. "With this assessment and certification, BlackBerry Cylance is now in a position to proactively secure Australia's most important federal assets, offer the outcome of a safer Australia in which to live and do business, and in turn further our mission to protect every endpoint under the sun."

U.S. electric car maker Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), predicted in 2016 to become the ultimate ‘Connected Car, set the benchmark for what the connected car could be with the launch of the Model S.

According to a report from  CNBC in early May this year, citing a Citibank and Goldman Sachs hosted  “broad investor call” with Tesla executives, “Musk confidently told investors  that autonomous driving will transform Tesla into a company with a $500 billion market cap. Its current market cap stands around $42 billion. He also said that existing Tesla’s will increase in value as self-driving capabilities are added via software, and will be worth up to $250,000 within three years.”

Continued: “He (Musk) said that even though Tesla drivers need to keep hands on the wheel today, that will become less necessary over time. Musk said that competitors such as GM’s Cruise and Alphabet’s Waymo can’t catch up because Tesla has a fleet of connected cars on the road today, and a proprietary chip.”

Mobility technology company, Magna International Inc. (TSX: MG), can lay claim to an industry first in connected car technology applications. In 2017, Magna, 3M and the Michigan Department of Transportation started testing vehicle-to-infrastructure connectivity in real-world situations, such as highway work zones and county roads.

According to Magna, the collaboration began with the launch of the nation’s first vehicle-to-infrastructure connected work zone, which was built along a three-mile section of I-75 in Oakland County, Michigan.

“The ability for vehicles to communicate with other vehicles and the infrastructure ‘shows great promise in helping to avoid crashes, ease traffic and improve the environment’, says the US Department of Transportation.”

At CES earlier this year, Bosch and Mojio, the leading platform for connected cars, announced a jointly developed, IoT integrated emergency response solution. The new offering adds crash detection and emergency call (eCall) response to an existing connected car solution from Mojio. Through the simple combination of a plug-and-play device for the vehicle’s OBD-II port and a mobile app, nearly a million consumers in North America and Europe have already upgraded their cars with Mojio’s white-label connected car solutions. These connected car offerings are deployed by Mojio’s portfolio of mobile network operator customers, including Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile US and Telus (TSX: T) (NYSE: TU).

Telus is pushing its Connected Car Drive + technology saying, “From a few vehicles to a full scale fleet, the TELUS Connected Vehicle portfolio empowers business owners to efficiently & safely manage their vehicles. “

“With more than a billion unconnected cars still on the road today, industry collaboration is critical to accelerate the deployment of connected mobility services across the globe,” said Kenny Hawk, CEO, Mojio. “Together with Bosch, we’re addressing the key barriers that automakers face in building profitable connected mobility services - in turn, helping OEMs shift their focus towards the rapidly-evolving expectations of the global driving community.”

‘With more than a billion unconnected cars still on the road today’, this clearly shows the massive potential future of this industry, and analysts say that Connected Car tech is the most significant trend in the automotive sector in the last 50 years.

The Future of #Energy: Continued Growth in Energy Solutions #Software and #Technology (OTC: $CLSK) (OTC: $SBGSY) (NYSE: $ABB) (NYSE: $GE)

The Future of #Energy: Continued Growth in Energy Solutions #Software and #Technology (OTC: $CLSK) (OTC: $SBGSY) (NYSE: $ABB) (NYSE: $GE)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 5, 2019 - Investorideas.com, one of the first investor news resources covering renewable energy stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the continued sales growth seen for energy software solutions companies as the technology becomes more widely available and easier to adopt.

In a recent report from Global Industry Journal, The Global Carbon and Energy Software Market Research Report 2019, “The global Carbon and Energy Software market has been growing with steady revenue outcomes for the last decade, however it is anticipated to develop more vigorously in the forecast period as rapidly elevating Carbon and Energy Software demand, raw material affluence, stable financial structure, technological advancements, favorable trade policies, and product awareness are boosting growth in the Carbon and Energy Software market. Also, the market has the potential to become one of the most remunerative industries that are consequently influencing global revenue generation and economic structure.”

CleanSpark, Inc. (OTC: CLSK), a microgrid and custom electrical equipment company with advanced engineering, software and controls for innovative distributed energy resource management systems, recently announced record equipment sales and shipments for the month of May.

Equipment sales for the month of May were more than $1 million, as compared with equipment sales of $431,000 during the first three months of 2019. In total, equipment sales for the quarter ending June 30, 2019 are projected to exceed $1.5 million.  Equipment Sales for CleanSpark's fiscal year are on track to exceed prior estimates of $4 million.

CleanSpark's contracted backlog for equipment has also increased to $6.1 million, an increase of over $2 million since March 31, 2019.

"Continued demand for our sophisticated DER management systems continues to increase, and we are rapidly increasing our backlog and accelerating the conversion of backlog into revenue," commented CEO of CleanSpark, Matthew Schultz. "While the timing of shipments and other factors beyond our control will continue to cause quarter-to-quarter variability in our revenue, the overall trajectory is accelerating in an encouraging manner."

Larger companies, such as the French energy management and automation expert Schneider Electric SE (EPA:SU) (OTC:SBGSY) recently made an investment of an undisclosed amount in AutoGrid Systems Inc, a firm that develops flexibility management software for the energy industry.

While Schneider may not have mentioned exactly how much its venture capital arm put into AutoGrid, they did make a note that the investment would make it a major shareholder in the company.

This move helps create a co-innovation partnership between the two, focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning solutions for distributed energy resources (DERs). Also, it allows Schneider Electric to make use of AutoGrid's existing utility and prosumer capabilities.

The most immediate benefit will be that Schneider Electric will leverage the firm's Energy Internet and Flex platforms to add AI-driven solutions for the distributed energy projects of its customers.

At present, AutoGrid has over 5,000 MW of distributed energy resources under contract with energy companies such as Xcel Energy, National Grid, Total, CPS Energy and CLP Holdings, among others.

Digital technology software solutions aren’t just being used in the obvious sectors, but also in new and exciting ways such as ABB Ltd. (NYSE:ABB) who recently won a contract from Arctic Offshore Farming to power its first-ever remote controlled submersible offshore salmon farm in the Arctic Ocean. ABB will provide a comprehensive package of its leading electrical, automation, instrumentation and telecom technologies that ensure maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

With the global market volume of salmon expected to hit 4.5 million tons by 2023, according to a 2018 report by Research and Markets, the Arctic Offshore Farming project is looking for ways to farm fish in a more sustainable manner. The submerged fish pens are less prone to sea lice which have been linked to a decline in salmon production in Norway – one of the top salmon exporters in the world. The offshore farm located in the Norwegian Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean outside Troms, will have a lower environmental footprint.

The farm will also be connected to ABB Ability™, the company’s cross-digital software offering that collects environmental data, including meteorological conditions, ocean currents, oxygen levels and sea temperature. It also monitors the pH at different depths and the amount of biomass in the cages.

“This unique concept is the perfect platform for ABB to share its vision of building a sustainable and efficient aquaculture industry,” said Kevin Kosiko, Managing Director ABB Energy Industries. “The unmanned fish pens will be remotely controlled by a feed barge located 400 meters away. This reduces the need for human intervention and thereby cuts fuel and electricity consumption and will also enable new solutions for fish farming offshore and onshore with a focus on fish welfare, traceability and food safety.”

Another large electrical giant, GE Renewable Energy, a division of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), recently signed a three-year agreement with Enel Green Power to provide predictive operation and maintenance capabilities to the group's hydro plants in Spain, with a total capacity of up to 3.2 GW.

The project will start by evaluating the data coming from existing control and monitoring equipment, then it will collect data from individual plants, gathering it in a centralized data lake. From there, data is continuously captured and analyzed with APM (Asset Performance Management) software. Predictive analytics from GE APM are gathered and combined with extensive real-world experience from the operation of hydro plants. GE's Hydro specialists will support EGP in data analysis to make informed recommendations on areas for performance improvement and enhancement.

"The Hydropower industry is shifting dramatically to a much more dynamic and data intensive approach to plant management," said Pascal Radue, Chief Executive Officer of GE's Hydro Solutions. "EGP is ahead of the industry in seeing the potential to improve O&M by harnessing data across a hydro plant in order to optimize OPEX, enhance plant efficiency and avoid failures."

This new contract highlights the growing development of GE Renewable Energy in the digital hydropower space. Today, more than 90 hydropower plants generating more than 30 GW are globally under management by GE's APM solutions.

APM includes software, services and business-process support that together deliver an enterprise-wide view of the impact of asset performance management activities to help plant operators and owners make decisions and evaluate trade-offs on how to run their plants.

It is expected we will continue to see growth in sales and acquisitions in the energy software solutions sector throughout 2019 as the cost of oil and gas and the demand for energy efficient solutions becomes paramount for both large and small scale company success.
