Element AI Whitepaper Reveals Only One in Ten Organizations Ready to Operationalize and Scale AI


Helping assess where your AI journey begins–Element AI

“This AI Maturity Framework tool and whitepaper provides organizations around the world with a systematic perspective to help them chart and realize their AI journey.”–Karthik Ramakrishnan, VP, Head of AI Strategy and Enablement at Element AI

Element AI, a global developer of artificial intelligence-powered (AI) solutions and services, today announced that it has published the AI Maturity Framework, which consists of a mapping tool and a whitepaper. The whitepaper provides in-depth insights on how organizations across all industries can become AI-ready faster and the tool helps organizations quickly map their AI-readiness. The tool and whitepaper address a knowledge gap in the AI industry, as few resources exist on how organizations can actually evolve their AI-readiness from theory to practice.

Since 2019, the Element AI AI Maturity Survey has collected data vital to informing the AI Maturity Framework whitepaper and tool. To date, the survey has collected insights from 200 senior decision-makers across multiple industries—primarily in North America—and determined that organizations are still struggling with their AI journeys. Key findings in the survey reveal:


  • Fewer than one in ten organizations are mature enough to operationalize and scale AI production
  • 79 percent of organizations surveyed haven’t graduated from experimenting with AI in a lab setting
  • Only 14 percent of organizations surveyed are formalizing their approach to deploying AI within their organization

“The progress and full integration of AI into most industries is uneven because implementing AI is as much about organizational factors as it is technical ones—and few resources exist to help leaders plan and strengthen their foundations for industry-grade AI,” said Karthik Ramakrishnan, Vice President, Head of AI Strategy and Enablement at Element AI. “We want the AI Maturity Framework tool and whitepaper to provide organizations around the world with a systematic perspective to help them chart and realize their AI journey.”

While there are plenty of resources written with calls to invest in AI and the benefits of the technology, few exist on how organizations can take AI technology and develop a plan that is actionable and fits within an organization’s culture. The Element AI AI Maturity Framework whitepaper provides insights into how the AI journey is unfolding in multiple industries, drawing from firsthand experience of the Element AI advisory and enablement practice. The whitepaper provides a deeper dive in understanding the nuances of the different stages and dimensions of AI-readiness, and provides industry benchmarks, case studies and practical tips/tactics on how to move to the next stage of AI integration.

“This tool and whitepaper offers prescriptive advice on how companies can align the five dimensions of organizational AI maturity: strategy, data, technology, people and governance. All organizations can benefit—no matter where they are on their AI journey and regardless of whether they’re buying AI solutions off the shelf, building them from scratch, or something in between,” continued Ramakrishnan.

The Element AI AI Maturity Framework tool and whitepaper is available for free download here: https://www.elementai.com/products/ai-maturity

Homing Systems Launches World’s Smallest 100W 4-output Fast Charger with GaNFast Technology


News Image

With this device, we wanted to help consumers replace bulky, heavy, silicon-based laptop chargers with smaller and more efficient GaN-based devices

Homing Systems and Navitas Semiconductor announce the launch of the SlimQ “F100” 4-output fast charger on the Indiegogo campaign platform, already 1000% over-subscribed. The F100 fast charger, with true power factor correction (PFC) functionality for world-wide use, uses Navitas GaNFast next-generation gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology to shrink to the world’s smallest size.

“We are seeing a paradigm shift in power technology,” says Derek Liu, Founder and CEO of Homing Systems. “With this device, we wanted to help consumers replace bulky, heavy, silicon-based laptop chargers with smaller and more efficient GaN-based devices. While the COVID-19 pandemic has created disruptions such as broken supply chains and delays in manufacture, the entire team at Homing Systems kept faith, worked hard to control what was possible, and came out better and stronger. That’s why we named the product F100 – the letter ‘F’ stands for faith, with great respect and support for all those who have struggled and suffered with the virus.”

With two USB C and two USB A outputs, and delivering 100W, the 70 x 68 x 29 mm (138 cc), the SlimQ F100 can charge up to four devices simultaneously, from earbuds, phones and tablets up to the 16” Apple MacBook Pro. Innovative AC-power adapters and extension cables can be used anywhere in the world and the true PFC function meets worldwide government regulations to increase energy efficiency and meet environmental standards.

“The F100 is another great example of the revolution in fast chargers, and the next-generation shift from old, bulky, slow silicon-based chargers to new, miniaturized, fast, GaN chargers.” Said Stephen Oliver, Navitas VP Worldwide Marketing and Investor Relations. “The GaNFast power ICs run at high speed, enabling a massive reduction in size and weight and deliver amazing multi-device, simultaneous charging in record time.”

Emergency Reporting Introduces Upgraded Rig Checks and Operations Checks from PSTrax


News Image

With PSTrax, you can rest easy knowing checks are being completed and a full history is being documented for every task. This helps ensure a safer work environment, makes crews more efficient, and provides all the necessary documentation needed for compliance, audits, and litigation.

Emergency Reporting® (ER), the global leader in secure, cloud-based reporting and records management software (RMS) for Fire and EMS agencies, now offers PSTrax, the leading operations checks and logistics management solution for Fire and EMS agencies, to bring users upgraded rig checks and equipment checks.

With this exciting new offering, ER clients can automatically schedule, perform, and document all of their operations checks – Vehicle, SCBA, PPE, Critical Asset, Inventory, and Controlled Substance – in an easy-to-use system that is entirely customized and built for departments.

“Traditionally, first response agencies have managed checks and inventories on paper, spreadsheets, or ‘clunky’ systems. With PSTrax, you can rest easy knowing checks are being completed and a full history is being documented for every task,” said Ryan Larson, VP of Business Development at PSTrax.com. “This helps ensure a safer work environment, makes crews more efficient, and provides all the necessary documentation needed for compliance, audits, and litigation.”

Agencies using ER Rig Checks that desire a more comprehensive system can upgrade to PSTrax for a best-in-class operations checks solution that is user-friendly and fully customized.

Here’s what makes PSTrax unique and better than other “truck check” solutions:


  • Specialty Solution – PSTrax was the first system to specialize in operations checks for first responders. It has been the industry leader for 11 years and continues to focus on this critical part of operations.
  • Tailored Solution – Agencies can tailor the solution to its needs by selecting from six modules – Vehicles, SCBA, PPE, Critical Assets, Stations and Controlled Substances.
  • Custom Configured to You – PSTrax recognizes that each agency is as unique as the community it serves. That’s why it is completely custom configured for each agency based on its processes and requirements.
  • No Implementation Project – PSTrax is built for departments so they don’t have to take an implementation project. Agencies just need to provide their documents (checklists, inventories, etc.). The PSTrax team manages the entire project to ensure the system gets built and rolled out. They import the data, configure the system to the agency’s requirements, and deliver a turnkey solution.
  • Unlimited Support & Training – Other vendors have hour limits or hourly fees for customer support and training. These services are unlimited with PSTrax. They also provide training during and after the initial implementation.
  • Unlimited Ongoing Changes – Other vendors charge fees for ongoing changes. These services are unlimited with PSTrax. In addition to building the system, PSTrax helps maintain it over time. They’ll be the “administrative assistant” to make any changes that the customer doesn’t wish to make.
  • No Hardware Investment – PSTrax is a cloud-based system that can be used with any device – phone, tablet, computer, tough book – and any operating system. This means the agency can continue to use the existing hardware it has already invested in.
  • Made for Crews – PSTrax is the most intuitive and easy-to-use system for operations checks. This ensures a high adoption rate with the crews and the long-term success of the system. Additionally, multiple crew members can complete checks at the same time. This means that 3 or 4-person crews can work together as a team to complete checks in real-time using multiple devices.
  • Great Service – PSTrax takes pride in delivering great customer service and building long-term relationships with each of its clients. They believe this is why PSTrax clients have a 98.5% retention rate and why the company has been called “the best vendor [they’ve] ever worked with”…on multiple occasions. Hear from crews at Spring Fire Department about their experience with PSTrax.
  • Integrated with Emergency Reporting – PSTrax integrates with ER to seamlessly share operations checks and maintenance data. Agencies can automate the completion of their operations checks and sync the creation and management of maintenance tickets between the two systems. PSTrax and ER will continue to enhance the integration and plan to add a Single Sign-On capability later this year.

Chroma Releases Bidirectional DC Power Supplies with Regenerative Loading


Chroma 62000D bidirectional DC power supply with regenerative loading.

Chroma Systems Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of power conversion test equipment, announces the first phase release of its new 62000D bidirectional DC power supplies. Bidirectional DC power supplies offer two-quadrant operation with positive current/positive voltage as well as negative current/positive voltage, enabling both DC power output and regenerative DC loading. The absorbed energy feeds back to the grid with a conversion efficiency up to 93% and can operate in constant voltage, constant current, and constant power modes.

Bidirectional DC power supplies are used for testing renewable energy power systems including PV/storage hybrid inverters, power conversion system (PCS) on charging/discharging, and can provide battery simulation. Pre-compliant with LV123 and LV148 standards on EV component testing, the 62000D is geared up for testing power components such as bidirectional on-board chargers (BOBC), bidirectional DC convertors, and DC-AC motor driver, and power conversion simulation tests of batteries in both directions. Chroma 62000D has a high-speed CV dynamic response slope that can be controlled to 180V/ms which is applicable to the electrical characteristics tests of many vehicle guidelines.

The 62000D series specify power ratings of 6kW, 12kW, and 18kW achieving 180kW in parallel and series operation. Voltages will range from 0~100V/600V/1200V/1800V with a current rating from 0~540A.

Chroma 62000D series has a four times auto-ranging operation range making it possible to get a wider coverage of low voltage/high current and high voltage/low current with a device under test. When integrated into a standard ATE system or in a lab, one 62000D can replace multiple DC power supplies to save space and costs. With its high speed transient response of less than 1.5ms, the 62000D achieves a seamless and very fast current conversion between the two quadrants.

Features include a smartphone-like touch screen display, the ability to connect to many types of remote interfaces, smart master/slave control mode that can connect 2-10 devices, and is packaged at a high density 18kW in 3U.
