Augmented Reality: The Technology That’s Reinventing Transportation Optimization for Logistic Companies

Logistics and shipping remain at the heart of value chain for any industry. The US Logistics & Transportation Industry spent about $1.33 trillion in 2012 which happened to be about 8.5 % of the country’s GDP.

Out of the total logistic costs, roughly 30% goes into transportation. Now, there are ample opportunities for companies to reduce this cost and bring in higher efficiency. However, with challenges abound, it’s quite complex for companies to bring down transportation costs.

Manual errors in delivery pick-ups, battling traffic congestion, improper freight loading and outdated documentation are some key challenges faced by companies when it comes to transportation.

Investment in technology is an obvious solution to tackle these thorny problems. Logistic companies are already utilizing data & planning software including transportation management systems to boost productivity and cut costs.

But, one technology seems to have an answer to tackle all problems faced by logistic companies.

Augmented Reality

It’s innovative, it’s smart and it’s clearly the future of logistics especially transportation. Let’s find out how AR is revolutionizing logistics by improving transportation optimization.

Delivery Pick-Ups

A worker wearing a smartglass equipped with an AR application can glance through the load to be carried and find out whether it’s ready for pick-up or not. Right now one requires doing manual counting or scanning a barcode using smartphone/tablet.

Workers can scan markers with smartglass placed on pallets and parcels and check it with a pre-determined value/amount to see if a load is ready for delivery. This can also be used for checking any damages. Scanning markers would require advanced object recognition technology.

Overseas Shipments

Complexity doubles when companies have to transport goods/products overseas. Augmented Reality can be a game-changer here. How? AR applications can be engineered that help workers identify whether a specific shipment has adhered to import/export regulations.

Applications can also help in viewing whether shipment has completed trade documents. By scanning trade documents, changes can be suggested on the spot.

What’s more, trade documents can be translated in real-time once the shipment has crossed borders. For instance, Word Lens App is an excellent example of how this can be done.

This certainly makes international freight handling easier.

Efficient Freight Loading

Currently, printed cargo lists and load instructions are used for managing freight loading. This often makes the entire process highly complex and confusing.

With smartglass and augmented reality applications, workers can get real-time information on where exactly a pallet or parcel has to be loaded.

Also, workers can see loading instructions right in front of their line of sight. This even helps improve worker’s safety.

 Improving Navigation

Traffic congestion is a major challenge faced during transportation. With each passing day, traffic problems are aggravating. This adds to the cost. Augmented Reality applications can offer real-time traffic support and improve driver navigation.

Data can be provided to optimize transport routes. This can happen with the help of a smartglass or information can be displayed right on the wind-shield of trucks. It helps improve drivers’ safety on route by displaying critical data in their field of vision rather than looking at navigation systems and getting distracted.

Applications can also be built that provide information on cargo temperature (Important in transporting specific products).

Take-aways

As a logistics company, if you are looking out for ways to implement technology to trim costs and enhance efficiency, Augmented Reality is the technology to place bets on. You can not only reduce costs but also enhance worker safety and customer satisfaction by delivering products on time. Counter your key business challenges & bottlenecks with this technology and see your profits touching the roof!

Do you own a business? Here’s Why You Should Have a Mobile App

cording to a latest report from Adobe, about 45% of businesses still don’t have a mobile app. What’s more, about 21% have both a mobile app as well as a responsive website whereas only 7% have mobile app. As the demand for smart phones and tablets grows, it will become imperative for business owners to have a mobile app. Here’s why your business need to consider it –

Connect with your customers

The best thing about mobile applications is that these allow you to communicate with customers in real time. You can actually engage them and improve revenues. How? Well, a mobile app allows you to inform customers about latest deals, send coupons and lot more.

Starbucks introduced its mobile app about two years back, which included a program known as My Starbucks Reward. iPhone users got an account that had to be filled up using real money once the app was downloaded. Users got stars which could be used for exchanging company’s production. This Rewards Program turned out to be very successful indeed.

Offer excellent support

A mobile application can turn out to be a useful customer service and support tool. It not only saves customers’ time but also adds value to your business. For instance, banks have mobile apps that allow customers to deposit checks using their iPhone or Android device.

Product promotion

With location-based push notifications, business owners can increase sales and revenues significantly. Let’s say, you own a restaurant. Now, using a mobile app you could actually send notifications to people within one mile radius of your restaurant. Target customers can get notifications with coupons, which mean more sales. Isn’t it amazing!

As a business owner you must remember that your mobile app must solve a real-problem. Also, it takes a considerable time before your mobile app starts generating revenues for your business. With careful consideration and proper research & analysis, you can build the best mobile app that could completely turnaround your business. All the best!

Google Glass – Insurance Claims Adjusters’ New Companion!

Google introduced sweeping changes in the technology regime with its smartglass called the Google Glass. As popularity for wearables goes through the roof in coming years, it’s imminent that smart glasses will bring in far-reaching implications for each industry.

Those who are completely clueless about this device – Google Glass is an android powered hardware that lets you interact with your surroundings using natural language commands.

What this essentially means is that you can Google Search anything using your voice and the results will be right in front of your line of vision.

It allows you to connect with friends on social media, take and share images, video and audio too. Sounds cool, ain’t it!

Well, besides taking pics Google Glass has a lot more in store for businesses than individuals.

For instance, Insurance Claim Adjusters constantly juggle with devices while they are out to investigate accident scenes to determine the extent of damage. They take photos with camera, peep into their laptop to get a view of their day’s plan and call insurance experts to get advice.

What if one device could combine the use of these three devices?

This is exactly what Google Glass can do for claim adjusters.

Let’s dig a bit deeper.

Glass app for insurance agents

One of the biggest pain-points for insurance claim adjusters is to take detailed notes while doing investigation. Sometimes, it’s not possible to access damages from all angles.

Hands-free note taking

Smartphones and tablets are certainly helping claim adjusters take notes, however, there are limitations. Small keyboards are an annoyance to many. They revert back to laptop to take notes.

With Google Glass, notes can be taken with a touchless interface. All one has to do is instruct the glass to take notes and include all the details.

Also, when taking notes with tablets or smartphones, one has to transfer the data to claims system, a process which is highly tedious. Using the Glass, you can seamlessly transfer the data on the spot in real-time.

Voice-commands to capture details

As discussed, claim adjusters need to take images and record videos from different angles to ensure that all the details are captured. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to take pictures from cameras from specific angles, for instance, under the car.

When you are wearing the glass, photos can be clicked instantly and shared with senior officers to take decisions immediately.

Furthermore, the images have to be transferred to the claims system as described above. Each day, adjusters have to transfer hundreds of images, which is a nightmare! Glass allows you to capture, transfer and share images/audio/video seamlessly from the point of investigation.

Remote-assistance from specialists

Tablets do allow adjusters to conduct video-conferencing. However, this too, has its limitations. One has to constantly keep their eyes on the ground and pay attention to the call as well.

Google Glass allows you to connect with specialists via Google Hangouts and Video Conference without requiring you to take eyes off the accident scene.

Quickly getting in touch with a specialist also speeds up the claims adjustment considerably.

Wrap up

Google Glass combines the power of a tablet, laptop and camera. It even acts as a GPS to offer real-time information on traffic.

Insurance companies can significantly reduce investment in various devices by allowing adjusters to take just one device while they go conducting routine tasks.

With wearable technology evolving at lightning speed, its time your insurance company starts taking a swing at implementing a Google Glass Application to boost productivity and cut down costs.

5 Reasons Why Your Cab Business is Crumbling and What To Do About It

There’s a bloodthirsty competition brewing in the transportation space. Top honchos like Lyft, Uber and Hailo have caused a disruption in the taxi industry worldwide with the launch of their mobile apps allowing people to book taxis at the push of a button!

Conventional taxi businesses have already started facing the brunt of stiff competition as their customers are gradually shifting to services like Uber that promise to offer reliable pick-up services with a standard.

While your business resorts to the age-old method of booking pick-ups (via phone calls), players like Uber are acting as matchmakers between drivers and passengers using real-time mobile technologies.

Estimates suggest that taxis lose close to £25 million every day just because people are not able to find a car.

The result?

Your customers are drifting away in packs, you did never imagine!

So, where do you think the Achilles Heel of your business lies?

Here’s what you need to know.

Using Obsolete Technology for Taxi Booking

If your customers need to call you to book taxis, take a step back and think about the kind of experience you are delivering. Imagine a potential customer waiting outside in the inclement weather and he/she needs to call you for pick-up.

You then confirm the booking and there goes your taxi. All this takes minutes and keeps the customer waiting. In an era, wherein customers want speed, the booking should take less than a few seconds. However, thanks to the outdated systems and you keep losing customers every time.

Relying too much on manual processes

Since you accept bookings through phone calls, there’s a lot of staff and back-end processes you need to manage. It eats up your precious time.

Your competitors are using cut-throat tactics to pull your customers towards them and by not using technology; you are digging your own grave!

There’s no way to monitor the productivity of your drivers

If you are not measuring the productivity and efficiency of your drivers, you are committing a big mistake. Traditional taxi businesses have no way of monitoring what their drivers are up to. This leads to under-utilization of your resources further aggravating your bottom-line problems.

Drivers spend up to 60% of their time idle on the roads looking out for passengers

Poor passenger experience

Booking taxis through phone calls are gradually becoming unreliable. Plus, the manual processes add to the problems. Passengers need confirmed, reliable pick-ups on time. If your business is failing to fulfill their basic need, you are losing that customer forever!

Because you are using outdated systems, your passengers are completely unaware about the ratings & reviews of your drivers. A slight discomfort caused during the journey leads to bad experience hurting your reputation.

No real-time connectivity between drivers and passengers

You have reliable, professional drivers but your prospects are completely unaware of the fact that they are available to pick them up from various points like bus stops, airports, stations etc.

Remember, this is a huge opportunity you are missing out on. It, further, adds to the existing woes of your business.

How To Build Highly-Productive Mobile Enterprise Apps?

When it comes to business, mobile apps have started playing a crucial role for organizations these days. Mobile applications have the power to redefine the way we conduct a business. Embracing mobility in true sense not only provides a competitive edge to your business, it also enhances customer satisfaction. Come 2020 and the global enterprise mobility market will be worth $140 billion.

Today, as many as 75% of the Fortune 500 companies are gearing up their efforts to deploy HTML 5 based mobile apps for their business. What’s more, the Mobile CRM apps are expected to grow by 500% in 2014 and about 50% of the enterprises will use hybrid cloud by 2017. All this implies that enterprise mobile apps are definitely going to be very important for businesses in the coming years.

However, building and deploying enterprise mobile apps is far from easy. There are various nuances one needs to consider while developing such applications. End-user requirements, technology to be used, cost factors, scalability etc. need to be considered before creating a mobile enterprise app. So, if your business is considering having a mobile enterprise app for better productivity, here’s what you need to know about creating the ultimate app.

Have a Clear Objective

It’s very crucial to be crystal clear when it comes to the objectives behind building a mobile enterprise application. Whether it is simplifying business processes or improving customer relationships, you must have a good idea about why you are investing in developing a mobility enterprise application. The underlying principle of building a mobile enterprise app is always to add value to your business enterprise. For instance, consider the following examples.

A life-science company might build an enterprise app to help scientists/researchers search compound IDs to make drugs. This process generally takes hours to complete. With a mobile enterprise app, it could take a few seconds for a researcher/scientist to search compound IDs. The objective here is to simplify complex tasks.

Large organizations that are in retail business often require their district managers to go out to do store auditing. Now, this audit process generally is paper-based which is very time-consuming. With a mobile enterprise app, district managers would have to spend a few minutes instead of hours to register information regarding store issues.

It is, therefore, important to understand the basic objectives before you invest lots of money into building that mobile app. If objectives are not clear, you might be wasting your money. Also, remember that the objectives come first than choosing the right technology. Technology will only help you achieve those target goals.

Never Compromise on UX

No matter how many brilliant features you put into your application, if it does not offer the right user-experience, your efforts go in vain. Your mobile enterprise application has to be extremely user-friendly. For instance, if you are building a mobile CRM application for your sales team, it is essential that the managers are able to use with little technical knowledge. The application has to be easy in terms of entering lead information, managing customer contacts, email marketing campaigns etc. Think about the end-user and build a mobile enterprise app. Take a look at some tips for building a wonderful UX for enterprise apps here.

Contemplate before Coding

Many developers don’t think before coding a mobile enterprise application. That’s when all the blunders are made. Before you sit down to code, think twice! Know the requirements properly before coding and programming. What will be the workflow, will the application run online or offline, what will be the back end system like etc. are some crucial factors to be considered before writing those long pieces of codes.

Involving End-Users is Crucial

The golden rule to build highly productive and amazing enterprise mobile apps is to involve users in your development process. All users want is an easy to use application that helps achieve their objectives. If it’s not user-friendly, you won’t get that WOW response from them. Once you build a prototype or something, ask your end-users to use the features. They will give you valuable feedback which can then be applied to create those killer enterprise applications.

Follow the Best Practices

There’s always a certain method, best practice to build an enterprise mobile app. Make sure you follow that. These practices will help you build remarkable apps that allow end-users to perform their tasks effortlessly. Remember it’s all about helping the users out there rather than being cool! Remember that your mobile app has to leverage the capabilities of a handheld device. Creating task-oriented applications is very much important.

Don’t Complicate

If you want to impress your end-users, instead of complicating features in the enterprise app, make it as simple as possible. By keeping the app simple, you will be able to achieve the target objectives more quickly! By being focused and eliminating unnecessary features, you allow your users to accomplish complex tasks seamlessly. The key is to include a few features in your application that perform brilliantly!

Testing Matters

Lastly, don’t forget the testing part! Test your enterprise app across multiple devices and see how it performs. Most developers overlook the testing part because it can turn out to be very time-consuming and expensive as well. But remember, testing will show you the loopholes in your enterprise app and also help you incorporate useful changes.

Conclusion

As smart phones continue to become popular, mobile apps will also see an upward trend in the years to come. Gradually, businesses will have to realize the importance of having an enterprise app for their organization because of the many advantages associated with having one. It is important to remember that you will also have to identify and measure the success of your mobile enterprise app apart from considering the points mentioned above. And, most importantly, all this has to revolve around your business goals and objectives!

Every Day Object Soon To Become Smart Objects

Today’s topic for the blog only says most of it. Yes, today let’s discuss the topic of all our objects getting smart. We want all our things to be smart. We have smart phones, smart watches and by 2014 as we all know we would even have smart cars with the new iOS 7.

However today I am talking about day-to-day small things. For example, here let’s say a door. Yes, you can have a smart door with a smart lock or you adjust the lights by keeping your device on the switch. Amused, aren’t you? Well this can really happen only through Augmented Reality Technology

Well this technology is a mixture of real and virtual world but according to me, this technology can make impossible things possible. Recently I read an article saying that soon all our physical objects would become smart but I shall say sometimes, the solution itself becomes the problem. If all physical objects become smart, they will individually need user interference and an app to operate them and this would become a big difficulty for us.

However, this problem won’t occur when our things turn smart as the MIT Media Lab Fluid Interfaces Group is working on a project towards a new type of system. Here is what they have to say.

“The Smarter Objects system explores a new method for interaction with everyday objects. The system associates a virtual object with every physical object to support an easy means of modifying the interface and the behavior of that physical object as well as its interactions with other “smarter objects”.

As a user points a smart phone or tablet at a physical object, an augmented reality (AR) application recognizes the object and offers an intuitive graphical interface to program the object’s behavior and interactions with other objects.

Once reprogrammed, the Smarter Object can then be operated with a simple tangible interface (such as knobs, buttons, etc). As such Smarter Objects combine the adaptability of digital objects with the simple tangible interface of a physical object.

We have implemented several Smarter Objects and usage scenarios demonstrating the potential of this approach.” – Fluid Interfaces Group

Well I am actually waiting for this, as this would be another miracle from the field of Augmented Reality Technology, as it would enable our everyday physical objects to become smarter and transform the way we use and interact with our things.

Amazing isn’t it?

Audi’s eKurzinfo-Audi A3’s AR Manual App

Ok so let’s be honest, how many of you have actually read their owner’s manual which came along with the car thoroughly? Not many, if I am not wrong. And then we all regret it when we don’t know what action a specific button performs! As a result we end up pressing all the buttons and experimenting with the brand new car!

So what do you do when you land yourself in a situation like this? We can’t go searching and rambling through our glove compartment at that time. To get rid of that last moment panick, Audi came up with a genius and interesting AR app which is its recent car Audi A3’s manual.

The app is called eKurzinfo and is available on iTunes app store for iOS. It’s a very simple and easy app to use. If you don’t know what a specific button does, just open the app on your smartphone and point it at the button. It will tell you exactly how it works. Let’s say you don’t know how to refill the coolant or rather where you are supposed to fill the coolant, just point the phone after opening the bonnet of your car and the app will show you exactly where to fill your coolant.

They have included many features of the car which will be explained via this app so it’s a nice alternative for your owner’s manual but can’t replace it completely. The app is only available for iOS as of now but Audi might soon make it available for android market too.

The app is absolutely free in iTunes but does require an Audi A3 to work.
Undoubtedly the app is a good way of showing off the awesome features Audi A3 has and we can only hope that other car manufacturers make something like this for our cars as well.

What are your opinions regarding this? Do you think this can bring a new sensation in automobile industry? Don’t you think if we all had this app for our cars we would be saving so much of paper and nature? Drop in your comments below.
