In this discussion, Intel's Alec Grefrides and Flooid's Scott Carpenter dive into bringing cloud capabilities to the Edge and data movement across applications.

Data Movement Across Applications

Energy will be generated from cleaner resources going forward as the world moves to de-carbonize itself. While clean energy sources are leveraged, efficiency improvement will be primarily driven by digital transformation. Digitalization will transform how electricity is generated and consumed. Further, sustainability is poised to become the foundation of new innovation, as product stewardship will be built on strong de-carbonization principles that cuts across the supply-chain.

In this discussion, Intel's Alec Grefrides and Portainer's Neil Cresswell dive into bringing Kubernetes to the Edge.

Bringing Cloud-Native Capabilities to the Edge

With over 90 percent of enterprises navigating a pandemic-accelerated Digital Transformation journey, the need to become more efficient, innovative and data-centric has never been more apparent. And with there being a glut of advice and strategies on how best to do this, it’s not always easy to cut through the noise and see which route may be the most effective for your business and workloads.

One path to reaching this state of efficiency and innovation is through memory. Now a vital tool in minimizing costs and supercharging Digital Transformation initiatives, efficient memory capacity is an essential part of any enterprise’s modernization strategy. For decades, traditional DRAM was the primary memory solution in the market, and despite the incredible performance of DRAM, it has inherent capacity limitations and can be extremely expensive as you scale in capacity. The market is ready for a new way to approach memory challenges and better manage their data, and the answer to these common challenges is a concept called Tiered Memory.

But what exactly is Tiered Memory, and what advantages can it offer? In episode 1 of Intel’s ‘Tiered Memory is Here’ series, John Burke, CTO of Nemertes and Drew Peterson, Global Memory & Storage Sales Manager at Intel, are coming together to answer just this, and to shed light on how it can offer an alternative to DRAM,  deliver a unique combination of affordable large capacity and improve memory bound workloads. 

Join John and Drew in this 45-minute webinar to hear:
- What Tired Memory is - and what it isn’t
- How Tiered Memory can drive innovation and uncover new operational efficiencies
- Common challenges that utilizing a Tiered Memory system can present, and how to overcome them
- How Tiered Memory can lead to optimized business insights and analytics
- And more

[Ep.1] The Game Changer: An Introduction to Tiered Memory

ValitaCell’s AI tools provide efficient data streams to spark a bioprocessing revolution. Their CellAI portfolio of AI algorithms helps extract rich cell insights from simple images to steer bioprocess design and operation. 

In this virtual fireside chat, Intel’s Sandi Colner, global head of labs and life sciences vertical, and ValitaCell’s Paul Dobson, head of data, discuss how the two companies are collaborating on a cutting-edge AI project for cell imaging, address some of the challenges facing the biopharma industry and preview what’s next.

Building the Future of Labs: Adopting New Technologies to Navigate Change

The supply chain, which impacts the daily life of most of the world’s population, requires careful coordination across verticals—beginning with manufacturing, then transportation, and ending with restaurants and retailers. In 2021, nearly every link is compromised. The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbated by a handful of factors have left factories unmanned, store shelves empty, food spoiled in transit and ships stuck just outside ports for months. Overcoming these challenges and preparing for future disruptions will require a new approach, one driven by data and technology. In this discussion, Intel’s IOTG executives will discuss the current state of the supply chain and explore innovative ways to address one of society’s most pressing issues.

When COVID-19 first hit, consumers turned to e-commerce sites to deliver groceries, buy products, and avoid any unnecessary human interaction. Now that some time has passed, consumers are starting to crave that in-store connection and are headed back to physical stores. But their expectations on the shopping experience have forever changed. 

Customers now expect the same level of flexibility, convenience, and instant gratification they received with online shopping. While this is creating a myriad of challenges for retailers to rethink their operations, it’s also opening a multitude of new opportunities to reinvent in-store shopping. 

By utilizing new technologies, retailers can not only create a safe and personalized shopping environment, but also improve operations, inventory management and product placement. Join us as we explore new considerations for in-store shopping, the advantage of leveraging new technologies, and the future of retail.

Key topics:
- How has the pandemic changed in-store customer expectations?
- How can retailers use technology to maximize profit and cleanliness?
- How can SIs help retailers integrate increasingly complex tech?
- What is the future of in-store shopping?

Telehealth Platforms: The Foundation for Digital Transformation

The industrial automation industry is undergoing a transformation driven by the needs of end users seeking to improve their CAPEX and OPEX, avoid being locked into proprietary solutions and get ahead of the technology curve. The success of this transformation will depend on broad industry collaboration in the form of standards and open source projects, which lower the barrier to entry for industrial organizations by ultimately reducing the cost and complexity of automation deployments. 

In this video, Intel’s Christine Boles and Gary Martz will discuss the history of standards and open source projects and their important role in the process automation industry’s transformation, as well as examples of how Intel is helping lead the way in this area.

The Role of Standards and Open Source Projects in Accelerating Industry 4.0

Automation and artificial intelligence tend to dominate the Industry 4.0 conversation. Less discussed is the hardware that makes these applications possible—the industrial PC (IPC). These rugged-yet-advanced machines are not only designed to meet demanding environmental requirements, but also offer incredible customization and reliability, while enabling IT/OT convergence. IPCs are a foundational element of any smart factory.  

In this video, Intel’s Christine Boles and Adam Berniger will discuss essential role of IPCs in Industry 4.0., their key benefits over other industrial computing solutions, and best practices for migrating to new IPC hardware.

Industrial PC's Foundational Role in Industry 4.0

Inside Edge: The Impact of 5G and MEC Tech on Smart Cities and Transportation

Sustainability as a value for retailers isn’t wholly new, and over the last decade, more companies have adopted earth-conscious practices as evidenced by the now commonplace Chief Sustainability Officer role and rise of Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing. Consumers today are now hyper-aware of brand values and the role companies are expected to play in building safer and more sustainable communities. Demand is growing rapidly for brands to not only take steps to limit their carbon footprint, but to fully embrace sustainability as a core value. 

Intel and retail industry thought leaders will have a candid conversation about Sustainability in Retail—what’s working and what’s not—and offer insights on how retailers can embrace sustainability for both the planet and their bottom line.
