OpenLegacy’s Digital-Driven Integration enables organizations with legacy systems to deliver new digital services faster and more efficiently than ever before.

OpenLegacy automated Java code generation, allowing us to reuse it across many interfaces. This has already saved a significant amount of time and money.

PRINCETON, N.J. (PRWEB)
April 15, 2020

OpenLegacy, the market leader in microservice-based APIs for legacy and core systems, recently partnered with a major global insurer to modernize its legacy system to make it more web and mobile friendly. The OpenLegacy solution automates Java code generation, building new workflows in hours instead of weeks.

This diversified global insurer is one of the largest property and casualty insurers in the United States, ranking in the Fortune 100 list of largest corporations in the United States. With nearly $40 billion in annual consolidated revenue, it has almost 1,000 locations worldwide and offers a wide range of insurance products and services.

The organization needed a flexible solution to ensure access for a multitude of users across divisions with thousands of different scenarios. The development team wanted to capture green screen data as code and then reuse the code in specific scenarios for users across all divisions, a perfect fit for OpenLegacy’s technology.

The OpenLegacy platform automatically created reusable software development kits (SDKs) in Java that the insurer uses to transform the green screen process.

OpenLegacy is flexible enough to handle virtually any legacy system or situation, whether connecting to screens; creating APIs to connect legacy systems to any digital solution; or any other applications requiring fast and easy development of APIs and microservices.

“We needed a far more efficient, agile solution to deal with hundreds of screens and thousands of user scenarios,” said the CTO of the insurance company. “OpenLegacy automated Java code generation, allowing us to reuse it across many interfaces. This has already saved a significant amount of time and money.”

The OpenLegacy hybrid integration platform – recently adopted by Fortune 500 companies such as Citi, Union Bank, FIS and BNP Paribas Cardif, among others – automatically generates microservice-based APIs from any core system. It can bypass complex ESB/SOA middleware from legacy vendors and related labor-intensive professional services.

“The insurance company benefits from increased agility, getting on-demand solutions that accelerate development speed while reducing maintenance costs,” said Zeev Avidan, Chief Product Officer of OpenLegacy. “Global enterprises are discovering daily that they are no longer limited by their legacy systems or cumbersome middleware stacks, freeing them to develop the apps their clients’ demand.”

About OpenLegacy

AI Gateway “no code” Inspection plug-In significantly reduces development and deployment efforts for advanced classification, segmentation, and detection capabilities

Pleora’s AI Gateway and plug-in skills help organizations quickly realize the business benefits of machine learning, without costly, time-consuming algorithm development or replacing existing infrastructure

OTTAWA, Ontario (PRWEB)
April 15, 2020

Pleora Technologies and Neurocle today announced a technology partnership that simplifies the deployment of deep learning-based classification, segmentation, and object detection capabilities for visual inspection applications. Lead customers are evaluating the AI Gateway and Inspection plug-in developed with Neurocle to reduce errors, false-positives, and secondary screenings in packaging, pharmaceutical, and finished goods analysis applications.

“Pleora’s AI Gateway and plug-in skills help organizations quickly realize the business benefits of machine learning, without costly, time-consuming algorithm development or replacing existing infrastructure,” said Jonathan Hou, Chief Technology Officer, Pleora Technologies. “Working with partners including Neurocle, we’re delivering a unique evolutionary approach to AI that enables quick deployment and continuous training to improve results and lower costs of visual inspection and quality control.”

With the Pleora AI Gateway and Inspection plug-In, end-users and integrators can deploy machine learning visual inspection capabilities without any additional programming. Images and data are simply uploaded to Neurocle’s Neuro-T, deep learning vision software which supports a unique “Auto Deep Learning” technology with predefined parameters optimized for the NVIDIA GPU in Pleora’s AI Gateway. With Pleora’s “no code” approach, AI models are transferred and deployed on the AI Gateway for production environments. In comparison to this plug and play approach, traditional AI algorithm development requires multiple time-consuming steps and dedicated coding to input images, label defects, fine-tune training, and optimize models.

The AI Gateway handles image acquisition from any vision standard-compliant image source and sends out the processed data over GigE Vision to inspection and analysis platforms. This means end-users can avoid vendor lock-in while maintaining infrastructure, processes, and analysis software.

In a quality inspection application, for example, the AI Gateway intercepts the camera image feed and applies the selected Inspection plug-in skills. The gateway then sends the AI processed data to the inspection application, which seamlessly receives the video as if it were still connected directly to the camera. Similarly, the AI Gateway can process imaging data with loaded plug-in skills in parallel to traditional processing tools. If a defect is detected, processed video from the AI Gateway can confirm or reject results as a secondary inspection.

“Neuro-T is a user-friendly approach that enables deep learning for visual inspection with just a few clicks,” said Hongsuk Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Neurocle. “Developing a plug-in solution for the Pleora AI Gateway, we’re making inspection systems plug and play, enabling automation for manual quality control checks and improving performance of existing systems with deep learning technology.”

Pleora’s AI Gateway provides additional plug-in AI skills for hyperspectral imaging, with the processing flexibility of an NVIDIA GPU to deploy open source or custom algorithms developed in popular frameworks like TensorFlow and OpenCV.

Intuiface introduces computer vision using Intel distribution of the OpenVINO toolkit

With the help of Intel, computer vision is no longer an insurmountable hurdle for teams lacking the skills, budget, or time to adopt commercial computer vision solutions.

CHICAGO and Toulouse, France (PRWEB)
April 15, 2020

Intuiface is excited to announce native support for the Intel® Distribution of the OpenVINO™ toolkit (OpenVINO toolkit), enabling creative teams to incorporate computer vision in their on-premises digital experiences without having to write a single line of code. With virtually no setup and with any camera, Intuiface experiences on a Windows PC can now capture age, gender, emotion, and head pose for one or more individuals in real-time, and use the resulting data feed to dynamically select, display – and record for analytics – digital content tailored for predefined demographic and emotional combinations. The result is deeply personalized content delivered on-demand for any audience.

The world of digital signage is evolving from impersonal, schedule-driven media to the delivery of highly customized content tailored for the individual. In the world of retail, for example, shoppers have grown accustomed to the use of websites and mobile apps to personalize the process of shopping, learning, and finding inspiration. True completion of the customer journey requires in-store kiosks to meet and exceed the same level of personalization. Sensors at the edge – customer-facing devices tasked with detecting information and events nearby, like speech, movement, demographics, and more – are key to making on-premise personalization possible. Next generation digital signage is characterized in part by its ability to integrate with and orchestrate these sensors.

Intuiface, already equipped with out-of-the-box support for a wide variety of sensors and interactive options, now works with the OpenVINO toolkit to add computer vision capabilities. The installation of the OpenVINO toolkit has been simplified to one-step. Once running, the OpenVINO toolkit sends a real-time stream of information to Intuiface Player on the same or a different PC. This includes information about the number of people facing the camera and the age, gender, emotion, and head pose of each individual. Without any coding, Intuiface experiences can be configured to perform actions based on the information captured by the OpenVINO toolkit. For example, displaying one advertisement for a young female viewer while displaying a separate advertisement for an older male viewer. Or enabling content navigation and manipulation through the use of head movement.

“With the help of Intel, computer vision is no longer an insurmountable hurdle for teams lacking the skills, budget, or time to adopt commercial computer vision solutions,“ says Vincent Encontre, Intuiface’s COO. “Our customers will be amazed at how quickly and easily Intuiface’s new OpenVINO toolkit integration will enable them to create interactive content driven by the unique characteristics of each user.”

This is the first distribution of OpenVINO toolkit-based computer vision made available to creative agencies, integrators, and similar internal corporate teams who wish to create demographic and emotion-driven digital content but don’t have the skills, time, or budget to write complex custom code. With the Intuiface integration, everything works out of the box, simple enough for even the most non-technical teams. And all data – from computer vision information to on-screen selections made by users – can be stored online and visualized using Intuiface Analytics to identify trends and generate insight about the target audience and how their preferences align with their characteristics.

The OpenVINO toolkit is optimized for use on Intel-based Windows PCs, resulting in rapid response time and reduced resource consumption. And because it is a free addition to Intuiface, experience creators can adopt computer vision without concerns about budget or delay.

ARRIA NLG PLC

“Arria’s tools are a way to cut through the information clutter, get straight to the facts, and keep the public informed,” says Sharon Daniels, Arria’s chief executive officer.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (PRWEB)
April 14, 2020

Arria, a leader in Natural Language Generation (NLG), announced today its involvement with two online initiatives that gather the latest data on COVID-19, and use Artificial Intelligence to transform the numbers into easy-to-understand written analyses of that data.

Arria’s written narratives are already available on one online dashboard at http://www.arria.com/covid19. This initiative leverages a tracking sample created by Microsoft’s Power BI team for COVID-19 and draws from the latest data from USAFacts. Arria’s dashboard allows users to select their state or county and a date range to generate a localized narrative.

Later this week, Arria’s natural language technology will be incorporated into a COVID-19 live report operated by TIBCO Software Inc., which takes worldwide data supplied by Johns Hopkins University and generates a dashboard with comprehensive lists of statistics and visualizations. Arria’s contribution to this dashboard means users will immediately receive plain-language explanation of the numbers that matter most to them, whether they’re looking at worldwide totals or drilling down to the statistics for their own region.

“These tools are a way to cut through the information clutter, get straight to the facts, and keep the public informed,” says Sharon Daniels, Arria’s chief executive officer.

“The sheer flood of data and information we are seeing daily about the pandemic is nearly impossible to process without the help of technology. People want information that will help them understand what’s happening, particularly in the areas where they live. But if that information is too confusing and complicated, they are going to remain confused or scared – wondering what to do, how to help, or how to keep their families safe.”

Each of these initiatives allows anyone – from government leaders to journalists to citizens – to review up-to-date COVID-19 data, along with critical insights transformed into writing by Arria’s NLG software. The software uses language analytics and computational linguistics to “think” like a writer, pulling the most important information to the top of the narrative, providing critical insights, and giving meaning to the tabulated reports and visualizations.

“People don’t have to try to decipher the charts and the graphs,” Daniels says. “The AI-driven narrative analyzes the data for them and explains the most important information in plain language that is easy to understand quickly.”

A short video demo of the Arria and TIBCO dashboard is available at https://vimeo.com/403201299/8f62e8ecec.

“Viotek strives to bring extreme value to the market. Our goal is to make high-performance gaming products accessible to a wider audience. We always use Grade A panels and components. For this reason we can offer a full three year zero dead pixel guarantee. V 4Victory.” – Brett Barbour, VP

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (PRWEB)
April 14, 2020

The GFT27CXB by Viotek® offers a 240Hz refresh rate for extremely smooth and buttery motion graphics, a 1ms response time for lag-free gaming, and all on a widescreen (16:9) TN panel with an impressive 99% of the sRGB color gamut. By far the fastest refresh rate on the market, our 240Hz monitor unleashes the full power of PC, bringing unparalleled fluidity to games — especially CS:GO, PUBG or Fortnite titles.

Follow the action on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter!

In addition to an impressive spec list, the GFT27CXB also features the Viotek Gaming suite including user-accessible overdrive (5ms wo/OD, 1ms w/OD), GAMEPLUS targeting cursors, AMD FreeSync™-ready, G-sync ready, RTS/FPS optimized gaming modes, anti-glare screen coating, low blue light mode, and specific pre-set gaming modes.

Thanks to AMD FreeSync™ with LFC (low framerate compensation) you can expect smoother motion with all your games, across the entire refresh range up to 240Hz — even when the framerate falls below 48Hz. The adaptive algorithm adjusts the refresh rate to smooth out jerkiness from sudden drops in the framerate. This not only helps with faster, motion-heavy games but also during the quieter, slower moments in the game, giving you a solid mix of smoothness and clarity. Say goodbye to ghosting and motion blur — forever.

The FHD 1080P resolution meets minimum requirements for spec-focused hard-core gamers. The GFT27CXB even supports HDR to ensure games, movies media, and office-work have accurate and perfect color representation, the way developers and directors intended.

The 1M:1 Dynamic contrast and 1000:1 contrast ratio ensure blacks are dark and whites are pure. The GFT27CXB features extreme flexibility with dual VESA compatibility (100mm and 75mm), Dual Freesync-ready HDMI ports (1x 2.0, 1x 1.4), a G-sync/Freesync capable 1.2 DisplayPort, as well as a 3.5mm audio jack; ready for headphones or to plug into the premium audio sound system of your choice (no speakers). The rear of the GXT27CXB features a multi-color RGB display (on/off only).

The GFT27CXB is also ready for multiple gamers with individual user profiles. Prefer more or less contrast or super-saturated reds? Simply save a personal profile to one of three available user-customizable presets (new to the Viotek product line).

Like all Viotek monitors, the GFT27CXB is backed by a 3-year limited warranty and Viotek’s best-in-market Dead Pixel Policy. The GFT27CXB is on sale for $289.99 ($322.00 MSRP) respectively and is available now through Viotek.com, Amazon.com, and select retailers.
