“We see this as a workhorse, rugged smartphone that sits right in the middle of our line up at a mass market price point,” John Tudhope, Director Device Portfolio Strategy for Sprint, told Digital Trends. “We think it has great appeal for the small business and enterprise segments, as well as for consumers who want something rugged at an affordable price.”

Solutions that are intuitive and familiar will improve onboarding and retention—both of which are critical in a tight labor market.

Automation can also help manufacturers face an increasingly challenging staffing shortage. According to Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute, as many as 2.4 million manufacturing jobs may go unfilled through 2028, putting as much as $454 billion manufacturing GDP at risk. While manufacturers are addressing this shortage of skilled workers in a number of ways (including new training programs, knowledge management technology, etc.), many are embracing technology to automate more of the entry-level work or production-focused positions. According to Deloitte’s research, 26 percent of manufacturers are investing in productivity-enhancing technologies, and nearly 60 percent plan to rely on more automation over the next three years.

The delivery app used with the scanners was conceived and programmed by the in-house team at Hermes. The centerpiece is a simply designed, multilingual interface that increases the ease-of-use compared to old devices.

If you needed proof that those days are well behind us, just look at the Cubot King Kong 3, a fully featured IP68 waterproof phone with a 5.5-inch display and an eight-core processor. And you get all this for less than £130 (or $160) – surely there is a catch?

Industry 4.0 is an expansive concept, but it shouldn’t be intimidating. The solution could be something as simple as a photo eye that can monitor its own dirtiness and request a cleaning. That’s Industry 4.0, Sellars says, because it goes beyond ones and zeroes to the realm of situational awareness. Decentralizing this sort of awareness is another element of Industry 4.0, where logic is distributed instead of burdening the programmable logic controller (PLC) with all the data about whether a camera is dirty. The camera is taking care of that on its own, adjusting its parameters as less overall light is detected, and immediately reverting back to initial settings after a cleaning.

Around the edges and bezels of the Surface Go are the physical ports and inlets, but don’t expect many. You get dual microphones for voice calls, two cameras (a front-facing 5-megapixel camera, and a rear 8-megapixel one), a single USB Type-C port (used for data, video out, and charging), a headphone jack, and a MicroSDXC card reader. I’d have liked to see a Type-A USB for attaching workaday items like a flash drive.

The handheld computer ships with Google Android, although it’s expected to support other operating systems including Debian, Ubuntu, and Sailfish OS in the future.

UPSNav works with ORION to reduce the number of miles driven on targeted routes. ORION plus UPSNav saves the company fuel and enables drivers to complete their routes faster. UPS launched UPSNav as a pilot this fall, rolling it out to about 5,000 U.S.-based drivers and some in Canada. UPS decided to expand the use of UPSNav more broadly after the successful pilot. Drivers on lower-density suburban and rural routes saw the most improvement. The tool was especially useful for drivers who were new to their routes, but every driver saw the benefits.
