Collaborative thought leadership between Opticos and Algorithma: Manufacturing companies face increasing pressure to optimize operations, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness. To meet these challenges, manufacturing and supply chain companies are turning to predictive manufacturing. This approach leverages advanced analytics and AI algorithms to anticipate disruptions, optimize production processes, and enhance overall efficiency.

Imagine a world where security cameras not only show what's happening, but also precisely measure distances and object sizes. This futuristic vision is becoming a reality with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology. With the ability to measure objects in 3D space, LiDAR holds immense value, especially in security applications where personnel could instantly determine the size and distance of a potential intruder. This area is rapidly developing but still advancements have to be made before these 3D environments become so lifelike that they can be integrated into consumer products. Could AI perhaps be the solution?
