Glucose monitoring is critical for diabetics. In the past, they had to test their glucose via painful finger pricks or using embedded sensors under their skin. There are now biosensors that measure glucose levels in sweat, which are less painful and invasive, but these flexible sensors are typically created via screen printing, a process that is wasteful and relies on…

The cloud is where the works of the telecom providers and the design software makers intersect. The two seemingly disparate universes collide when CAD moves to the cloud and simulation solvers take advantage of cloud computing, aiming to overcome the personal workstation's finite computing limits. So how will the much anticipated arrival of 5G affect the design software delivery, usage,…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never thought of 3PLs as innovators or early adopters of technology. Given the short-term nature of their contracts, the industry players focused on taking the fat out of processes and being great operators with conventional processes. Based on a few stories I’ve published in the last year or so, I think that’s changing.…
