Data-compression technique developed for faster computer programs
A technique developed by MIT researchers frees up more memory used by computers and mobile devices, allowing them to run faster and perform more tasks simultaneously.
Artificial intelligence used to accurately predict battery life
Researchers have developed a battery testing technique that could help bring new designs to the market more quickly and enable more efficient batteries for electric vehicles and other applications.
Use context with IIoT to provide automation value
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has a lot of potential, but without context and a clear goal, value for companies will be less. See 8 ways to move from data to information.
Machine-learning algorithms used to make agriculture taste better
MIT researchers have developed a method using machine learning to reveal optimal growing conditions to maximize taste and other features.
Data visualization, monitoring remotely
Improving data visualization and implementing cloud-based remote access is also the first step to implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 applications for said data visualization.
Leverage object-oriented industrial programming
Plants and equipment are assembled from objects, so controls architecture should be too. New tools help industrial programmers deliver the productivity of object-oriented programming (OOP) without the complexity.
Researchers develop architecture to reduce data center energy and space constraints
MIT researchers have developer a flash-storage system designed to cut the energy and physical space required to store and manage data in data centers by half.
