Did you know that commercial and industrial buildings contribute to almost half of the world’s carbon footprint? When you think about it like that, you can see why more and more businesses are committing to aggressive sustainability goals. And the best way to achieve net zero or carbon neutrality is by creating smart, connected, and sustainable buildings—especially in today’s hybrid work environment.
For example, if only half your workforce comes to the office at any given time, it doesn’t make economic sense to keep all the lights on all the time. And it’s more than just lights. It’s HVAC systems, air quality, security systems, and power supply that all play a role—from office spaces to bathrooms, cafeterias, and even parking lots.
In this podcast we look at what a smart building means, technologies that make a building “smart,” and the role buildings play in larger sustainability efforts.

The time is now for manufacturers to start moving toward a smart factory before being left behind by their competitors. But where do they begin? The challenge is that there’s no right answer. To come up with workable solutions, manufacturers must clearly understand the operational problems they face.
For example, a lot of manufacturers still conduct manual defect detection on the production line. This is not only expensive and time consuming, but often leads to inaccurate results. One way to address this issue is to apply machine vision and deep-learning models to smart cameras and automate the quality inspection process.
In this podcast, we explore changes happening on the factory floor, what makes a smart factory run, and how machine vision and AI improve the product inspection process.

Compared to the automotive and aviation industries, railways can seem rather antiquated. But trains are actually vitally important for modern digital infrastructure.
Rail systems can provide high-speed Internet connectivity to rural areas. They can help cut carbon emissions. And they can provide a surprising array of services to local communities.
Take the Marsden train station in West Yorkshire as an example. When an impending disaster was expected to hit this area, companies like Cisco and Network Rail Telecom (NRT) teamed up to leverage government-owned fiber running through the station and third-party radios to provide communications and connectivity to the community. The UK National Health Service was then able to set up telehealth pods for remote consultations, testing, and diagnosis. And that’s only one way rail technology is used for the greater good.
