The United Nations Environment Programme currently estimates that the building and construction industry accounts for 36% of the global energy consumption, and subsequently account for approximately 40% of the global carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The increasing industrialization and urbanization activities will further increase the ...

Biodegradable polymers are increasingly adopted in many applications and industries to replace crude-derived polymers. Currently, the application of biodegradable polymers as binders, sealants, and adhesives is gaining traction, with pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) being a hot area of interest. Healthcare, FMCG, and packaging are the top areas o...

Rather than just merely tracking goods in transit, the logistics software management platform provides advanced data analytics solutions to identify key variances and to take actions before incurring costs to companies. Multiple product handling particularly when handling fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) needs continuous improvement delivery and w...

AGVS streamlines tasks in order fulfillment in logistics centers as well as improve safety in production lines. AGVs can perform more than material handling such as scanning barcodes and transferring the scanned data to the central cloud system. AGVs automate all the material handling tasks and remove the need for having workers to move materials w...

A common challenge faced by researchers during material R&D is from a data perspective, such as availability of highly fragmented information due to data systems that vary from application to application, fluctuating data quality and inability to access curated external research activities effectively. Integration of digital technologies such as...

Conventional artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled processors are based on rule-based algorithms and are optimized for applications, such as real-time monitoring and reporting. However, with increasing demand for fully autonomous solutions, there is a need for perceptive solutions capable of making probabilistic decisions, replicating the human brai...

IIoT (Industrial Internet-of-Things), came into reality during the advent of Industry 4.0. The technology provided immense data communications and connectivity between all devices. The fourth industrial revolution changed the whole manufacturing spectrum. The technology helped manufacturers to tremendously increase their efficiency and productivity...

Polymers play an important role as an emulsifier, rheology modifier, thickener, conditioning agent, and delivery system, among others in the personal care industry. The majority of the polymers dominating the personal care industry are of synthetic origin; however, due to stringent regulations on synthetic polymers especially microbeads proposed by...

The treatment of mental health disorders using pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy are plagued with limitations such as therapy-related adverse effects, and inability to provide effective remission. This has driven the use of neuromodulation techniques for managing these conditions. However, these traditional neuromodulation therapies have their shar...
