Renașterea Producției Industriale

Textele publicate în categoria Subiectiv sunt responsabilitatea autorilor, fiind opinii asumate de aceștia. Dacă vrei să afli mai multe opinii ale specialiștilor, urmărește categoria Subiectiv.În lumea producției industriale, ultimii 50 de ani au fost dominați de globalizare. Am văzut o tranziție a producției către țări cu salarii mai mici, alături de optimizarea continuă a lanțului de aprovizionare. Dacă productivitatea nu putea fi crescută (suficient) printr-o tehnologie mai bună, Excel-ul era acolo pentru a ne salva.Dar lucrurile se schimbă, iar cele mai recente evoluții tehnologice, tendințele geopolitice și cultura Generației Z accelerează o transformare profundă a peisajului producției.Acest lucru are un impact important: producția este una dintre industriile cheie ale Uniunii Europene, cu o cifră de afaceri netă de 8,3 trilioane EUR și 28,7 milioane de oameni angajați în 2021 (conform Eurostat), reprezentând 23,6% din valoarea adăugată totală a economiei UE.Din punct de vedere tehnologic, cele mai recente dezvoltări ale IA permit creșteri semnificative ale gradului de automatizare și deci a productivității. Stai. Asta nu se întâmpla deja?! Nu am văzut cu toții acele linii robotizate în care mașinile sunt sudate împreună cu o implicare umană minimă?Da și nu

He considered starting a robotics company but realized he was more interested in emulating Elon Musk. Hiremath also apologized to his ex-girlfriend, attributing their breakup to his insecurities.

Atlassian Acquires Rewatch As It Gets Into Ai Meeting Bots

Atlassian on Thursday announced that it has acquired Rewatch, an AI-powered meeting notetaker, screen recording tool and video hub. The company plans to integrate Rewatch into Loom, the asynchronous video messaging platform it acquired for $975 million last October. But maybe even more importantly, it also plans to integrate it into its recently launched Rovo AI platform so that meeting notes can quickly become Jira issues, for example, and the transcripts become searchable within the overall business context.The two companies did not disclose the price of the acquisition. Back in the heady days of early 2021, when everybody was seemingly looking for better video-centric solutions, Rewatch raised a $20 million Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz. The company did not raise any additional funding since, according to Crunchbase.As Loom co-founder Joe Thomas told me in an exclusive interview ahead of Thursday’s announcement, Loom already offered an integration with Zoom to record meetings and create transcripts. But that only felt tangential to what the company was trying to do with Loom, he said.“It was worth evolving our platform and bringing in great IP from Rewatch to accelerate our efforts there,” Thomas sad
