Overview: Speech recognition technology has gained momentum in recent years. It provides advantages on both an individual as well as enterprise level. Amongst the various benefits, the most notable is its ability to dictate speech and convert it into texts. With its help, users can fill forms and perform multiple functions without any physical contact with the device.

Idea: A web application ‘Hello,’ which can accept the commands from users without any keyboard or physical activity(touch, etc.). It is a library which needs to be included in the code. A user can speak the highlighted

From global recessions to the spread of a pandemic like Corona, the business world often faces unexpected challenges. Such challenges can only be overcome through innovative ideas that give way out and light to combat such situations. IDEM or Interactive Dual Eye Mechanism is one such excellent idea that replicates human effort with Robots.

Idea: With the help of an Interactive Dual Eye Mechanism, a robot is created that communicates with you. It takes input in the form of two modes; manual mode through a joystick and a webcam. The Robo follows you in whichever direction you move. The Robo can identify various moods like angry, surprised, and happy.

Tools and Components:

The central brain of the Robo is the Arduino Uno Board that gives the commands and helps in the working of the complete mechanism.

Servo Motor, which is responsible for the window shot shaft at a particular angle

As coronavirus cases have surged, so have the number of companies asking their employees to work from home, and technologies like Hologram Object Projection will prove as milestones in facilitating work from home by projecting users in a 3D space.

The Hologram is a Three Dimensional projection of an object that exists freely in space and is visible to everyone without the need for 3D glasses. Based on Mixed Reality, the concept is a combination of elements of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality.

Idea: Hologram Object Projection is a combination of AR and VR where AR creates the illusion that virtual objects are placed in the real world, and VR implies complete immersion experience in a virtual environment, i.e., creating a 3D simulated environment by shutting out the physical environment. It enables interaction of the real world with digital objects. It is based on realistic rendering, i.e., virtual objects are placed

Wondering what business looks like post-COVID? Indeed, each one of us, with absolutely no clue when things will return to their normal and still strategizing to bring the world together as it was before the epidemic. A fundamental approach that steers us through the storm is to embrace these challenging times as an opportunity to redefine and reinvent business operations and become COVID compliant. Business owners around the world have become more vigilant and are on a constant look-out for digital enablement solutions that help them mitigate the losses and rebuild post-outbreak.

Automation plays a vital role here and is likely to become the ‘Future of Work.’ As many organizations toil to tune to the new normal and new demands, automation plays the role of a catalyst that speeds up changes that are on the way — it almost serves as an accelerant.

Leading organizations are adopting an agile approach

With thousands of IT components that work together to run your business and act as key enablers, no one wants to have any IT issues. The key to achieve this is through higher visibility, proactive approach, and predictive analysis of all IT components. Predict IT Issues achieves this by having a well-connected map of IT components across the organization and making predictions using Machine Learning. 

Idea: Predict IT is a combination of two ServiceNow offerings:

Servicenow Discovery Servicenow Performance Analytics

It utilizes out of the box ServiceNow features like Discovery, Alert Management, and Performance Analytics to automate the process of asset registration, monitoring, and issue forecasting. 

Any device which has an IP address can be tracked, and detailed information related to its hardware and software can be extracted automatically without any human intervention. Software licenses can be tracked, and violations can be tracked with a single click.

Coronavirus pandemic is undeniably a human tragedy, and the global economy is traversing through the most unpredictable and perilous phase, something none of us have ever witnessed and imagined. There is an alarming shift in the focus of business owners, from plans of ‘Exponential Growth,’ to ‘Survival,’ ‘Conservation,’ ‘Cost Efficiency,’ ‘Business Continuity,’ ‘Employee Productivity,’ et al. They have suddenly become the ‘New Pain Points,’ and business owners are struggling to find a way forward.

The speed with which this crisis has hit the world is enormous, and there is an immediate and urgent need to take action and plan ahead. It is almost certain what we have been doing until now is no longer viable. The old formula for success is obsolete now, and we need to drag ourselves out of our comfort zones. ‘Think Different and Think Fast’ have suddenly become the new normal, and we need to look

What curve do we want to flatten and why?The answer lies in one number “TOTAL ACTIVE CASES”. This reflects what our healthcare system will deal with on any given day. The rate of spread is so fast that no country has the capacity to handle the hospitalization and ICU requirements. Hence, we want to flatten this red curve by slowing/stopping the spread. How do we do it? a) Containment – By measures such as rapid testing, contact tracing, quarantine, isolation, social distancing, lockdown, and curfew. All we are trying to do is reduce “NEW DAILY CASES” and flatten this orange curve.

b) Mitigation – By measures such as hospital capacity planning, right protective gear and equipment procurement, readiness to handle cases quickly, effective medication and eventually vaccination. All we are trying to do is rapidly increase “RECOVERED CASES” and improve the green curveAmid this craziness, the one biggest goal for

As the number of distributed systems keeps on increasing, it is tough to understand where the errors are happening. But aggregating our logs together gives a unified understanding of the overall working of our system and helps us identify the error. The idea behind ELK is also to identify the root cause of errors and take corrective measures to prevent further damage.

Overview: During SDLC (System Development Life Cycle), we often face situations where we need to find frequently occurring errors in different pages, methods having exceptions/errors, the performance of the pages/methods, availability of application and server, and many more. Various applications are feed into each other. Debugging is an issue that requires logging into each box to look at the logs for errors. With a small number of apps/boxes, debugging is not an issue, but it quickly becomes tedious as the number of apps/boxes increase!

Idea: With ELK identifying such errors

Both social distancing and work from home have become the need of the hour and the new norm. While teams work from their homes, they need to engage with each other to develop a sense of belongingness and maintain business continuity. The biggest challenge the team faces is to keep the motivation alive and stay productive.

To avoid going crazy and enjoy the atmosphere at home while they work, our teams have adopted several unconventional ways to make the work exciting, they have engaged with each other through:

Virtual Tea Sessions: How about connecting virtually over a cup of tea and indulging in some chit-chat? Yes, our teams are meeting at tea-time as they meet in the office, the only difference is it is all happening virtually through video calls. Such sessions give them a break from work, and they enjoy hanging out with their colleagues.

Supply Chain and Logistics is predominantly an industry which is driven by precision and speed. The industry is mostly governed by a lot of systems and processes, which, when automated drive efficiency, scale, and faster deliveries. RPA optimizes operations and cuts costs and emerges as a replacement for a lot of non-productive, repetitive tasks. 

 Overview: 

Robotics has become a key component of Supply Chain automation and will continue to transform supply chain operations. It is said to have a drastic impact in terms of productivity, efficiency, and accuracy on the Supply Chain and Logistics industry. Among the various benefits that RPA brings to the industry, the prominent ones are real-time inventory visibility and warehouse management. 

 But, before the enterprise dives into implementing RPA, there is a certain level of preparedness and some ground-level modifications that enterprises need to make. A few of them are:

 Process Standardization: The more complex the
