This document discusses the benefits of implementing a voice-directed picking system and automated warehouse trucks. Key points include:
1) A voice-directed picking system was implemented, improving accuracy to over 99.98% and increasing productivity by 15-35% by streamlining the picking process.
2) Automated warehouse trucks escort pickers and autonomously deliver empty containers and dispatch filled orders, eliminating non-productive walking. This cuts 30 minutes of picking time per run down to 16 minutes, a productivity increase of 87.5%.
3) By gaining this increase through fewer pickers, the example estimates replacing 50 pickers with only 27 while maintaining the same productivity.
This document discusses how Optiscan has helped decrease warehouse costs through voice-directed picking and the Pick-n-Go system. Key points include:
1) Optiscan's voice-directed work system guides pickers through the picking process hands-free and eyes-free, improving accuracy to over 99.98% and productivity by 15-35%.
2) The Pick-n-Go system uses driverless trucks to escort pickers, allowing a productivity gain of 50-100% by automating tasks like transporting containers between picks.
3) Customers reported significant decreases in picking errors and lack of products after implementing Optiscan's voice solutions. Voice improvements work safety and ergonomics
1) The document summarizes measurements and lessons learned from World IPv6 Day. It discusses measurements of DNS records, ping/traceroute responses, and HTTP performance over IPv4 and IPv6 from vantage points to participating sites.
2) Key lessons included controlling DNS by setting low TTLs, testing deployments to avoid issues, and monitoring infrastructure to ensure IPv6 services work as expected and are withdrawn cleanly after events.
3) The measurements showed that negative caching and low TTLs were important for rapid propagation of DNS changes for World IPv6 Day, and that sites needed to monitor for issues with IPv6 connectivity even after events.

Feature Extraction for Predictive LTV Modeling using Hadoop, Hive, and Cascad...Kontagent
Description:
One of the biggest challenges for people building data products today is developing and refining features for modeling purposes (i.e. feature extraction) with the volume and variability of web scale data. In this talk, Martin will discuss some of the challenges and solutions faced by Kontagent as it built out a predictive lifetime value model for its customers. As you will learn, Hadoop is critical to this feature extraction process, and Cascading is quite handy when building out more complex features than can be readily developed in a query framework like Hive.

The University Carlos III of Madrid at TREC 2011 Crowdsourcing Track: Noteboo...Julián Urbano
This notebook paper describes our participation in both tasks of the TREC 2011 Crowdsourcing Track. For the first one we submitted three runs that used Amazon Mechanical Turk: one where workers made relevance judgments based on a 3-point scale, and two similar runs where workers provided an explicit ranking of documents. All three runs implemented a quality control mechanism at the task level, which was based on a simple reading comprehension test. For the second task we submitted another three runs: one with a stepwise execution of the GetAnotherLabel algorithm by Ipeirotis et al., and two others with a rule-based and a SVM-based model. We also comment on several topics regarding the Track design and evaluation methods.
The objective of this project is to find out whether a novice investor or trader will be able to invest in stocks that are trustworthy by applying machine learning algorithms.

Energy-efficient extensions in passive optical networksradziwil
This document discusses using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) to overcome limitations in passive optical networks (PONs). It provides background on PONs, noting their limitations in supporting high user densities in urban areas and extending to remote locations due to splitting ratios and reach distance. The document introduces SOAs as a potential solution, describing them as low-power optoelectronic devices that can provide up to 30dB of gain. It notes SOAs could help address PON limitations by universally amplifying signals to support more users over longer distances.
Measuring Strategic Value of Knowledge Using Knowledge Lifecycle ModelHimanshu Dutt
The document discusses measuring the strategic value of knowledge using a knowledge lifecycle model, using the case of the Indian banking sector. It presents a knowledge lifecycle model with seven stages: obtaining knowledge, using knowledge, learning from knowledge, contributing to knowledge, assessing knowledge, building knowledge, and divesting knowledge. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze survey data from banking professionals to determine the contribution and strategic value of elements in each knowledge lifecycle stage. The results show which elements contribute most, moderately, and least to each stage, allowing banks to identify areas for development or restructuring to better manage knowledge for competitiveness.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.
Unilever and Magnet are collaborating to drive growth in health and beauty categories. They tested Unilever's expertise in new store layouts and navigation elements in a Magnet hypermarket. This led to a 10-15% sales increase. Future plans include expanding the test to more stores and categories. The collaboration uses Unilever's Customer Insight and Innovation Centre to gain insights and simulate opportunities through virtual and physical retail labs. This helps organize categories effectively and attract more shoppers to the health and beauty area through clear signage and segmentation.
The document discusses Danone implementing a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) system with Viktoria, a retailer, to improve order and stock accuracy. Key benefits of the VMI system included reduced out-of-stock levels, lower total supply chain costs from improved execution, and automation of ordering between Danone and Viktoria's IT systems. The VMI approach created a win-win collaboration through higher sales, better in-store operations, and reduced costs for both companies.

The document discusses the benefits of an integrated marketing approach for growing product categories rather than just focusing on taking market share from competitors. It argues that most manufacturers still use a "share steal" business model even for categories that have room for more growth. An integrated approach puts the shopper at the center and thinks about win-win strategies for both manufacturers and retailers. This could involve linking product consumption to purchase opportunities and having coordinated sales and marketing plans. Growing the overall category leads to benefits for everyone rather than just shifting shares between competitors.
