Companies across industries that made a mark using technology in 2023

What seemed like science fiction just a decade ago has become a reality and Artificial Intelligence has been at the crux of the majority of innovative ideas that have changed the way things work nowadays. Whether it be ordering food, tracking it and then receiving it or managing doctor’s appointments or surveillance of public places for security, AI has automated innumerable tasks, brought information at our tips and made our lives much easier. As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcome 2024, AI has empowered one to reap the benefits of innovative thinking. Here are some entities from across diverse industries that immensely benefitted by using technology and made a significant mark for themselves in the year that went by.

Smart farming & IoT:
India has been an agrarian country and continues to be so. It is imperative for the farmers to create a customised algorithm-driven engine that can reduce the food grain losses to 0.5% from 10%. Through management of the warehouses, it is possible to save about Rs 87000 crores per year. Through Agri Suraksha the warehouses can be monitored remotely using the solar powered CCTVs 24×7. This ensures safety of the grains, and reduces the prevalent malpractices where farmers deposit a certain quality of grain while it is changed by fraudsters. Another way it helps farmers is by enabling Quality Check with the help of NABL-certified Agri Reach. Farmers can simply post the picture of the foodgrain on the app and it can generate a detailed report on quality and type, with an accreditation certificate. Such inspections enable the farmers to know the right value of their crop and not undersell it. Sohan Lal Commodities (SLCM) is a leading agri-tech player today in the post-harvest logistic space in India.

Health Tech:
Healthcare is one industry which is overburdened as everybody needs to consult a doctor at some point of time, while these hospitals are over working and under pressure as there is a lot of documentation that needs to be done to keep things in order. AI can be used to manage the appointment system, keeping the patient up to date about their impending visit and informing about their time to see the doctor. Cloud computing ensures that data of patients can be stored in one place and accessed by doctors across different departments and hospitals. Infact AI has also enabled Video consultations, that have become the norm in the post Covid era. Smart wearable integration is the popular choice for consumers where they can track their health metrics and be up to date about their vitals, and seek immediate medical intervention when there is a red sign. Payoda is one company that provides all such solutions for the healthcare industry.

Video Analytics:
Video surveillance and analytics sector has its own requirements especially  when it comes to creating unique experiences with the help of cutting-edge usage of AI technology, object recognition, real-time analytics,and predictive insights. It results in unrivalled security and business intelligence with the highest accuracy. Such solutions can be used to create Smart cities, can be used in transportation, on highways, in retail stores, academic institutions etc. With a strong focus on privacy, when such data is monitored with the help of AI, it can lead to accurate results. AI can detect potholes, accidents on roads, infiltration of unwanted elements, overspeeding cars, unclaimed objects that could be potential threats. Mirasys(India) has been a pioneer in this field and has created an impact in the country through its AI based solutions.

Food Tech:
While many food aggregators and delivery apps have made it easier for the consumers to receive food at the comfort of their homes, it is cloud kitchens that need more AI based innovations than just delivery of food. On2Cook is a semi-automated cooking device that can cut down cooking time to 50% and save upto 70% of energy. With the help of AI, big data and analytics it can study the buying patterns of the consumers when it is connected with the commercial kitchen’s POS. The app can also automate the process of ordering ingredients, making life easier for a team that works with less number of people. It also allows last mile connectivity and uses data analytics for predictive planning and automates the food production and delivery chain, which will eventually help in cutting down food waste too. This unique solution has no match in the industry.

Workplace Management:

In the post Covid era, many employees prefer working remotely, even though most companies want them to return to office. To make a smooth transition, AI can be utilised to transform the workplace experience in such a way that employees look forward to being back in office. With the help of AI one can now redefine security, visitor access, employee access to the workplace, governance as well as on-demand services. This integration of technology enables the offices to ensure seamless workplace management, that too in multiple languages. Ushering in such transformations are companies like Veris, which is globally among the top 10 workplace management companies operating across 22 countries. Here interactions lead to conversations, as it cuts down long queues by making way for swift check-ins, customising the workstations and ultimately this mindful integration of AI can lead to an experience where employees can work in peace in an evolved workplace.
