Oracle Inventory Optimization Enables Retailers to Navigate Uncharted Demand

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The global health crisis has created an inventory emergency for many retailers. Today’s unpredictable and volatile customer buying habits are limiting the effectiveness of using historical data to predict purchasing behavior and plan product inventory accordingly.

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The global health crisis has created an inventory emergency for many retailers. Today’s unpredictable and volatile customer buying habits are limiting the effectiveness of using historical data to predict purchasing behavior and plan product inventory accordingly. Powered by machine learning, the new Oracle Retail Inventory Optimization Cloud Service can sit between a retailer’s forecasting and supply chain systems to help highlight the next best actions they can take to optimize inventory. This helps retailers get to answers on inventory placement and volume faster so they can better serve customers while maintaining a healthy cash position.

«Retailers are struggling to adjust decades of well-defined inventory and traditional supply chain management processes that have been thrown a curveball by COVID-19,» said Jeff Warren, Oracle Retail vice president of strategy and solution management. «With the ability to be deployed in just weeks, Oracle Retail Inventory Optimization Cloud Service does the heavy lifting and modeling to rebalance and optimize inventory so retailers can invest in the right products and automatically adapt to new consumer patterns as they occur.» 

In today’s climate, the ability to respond to changing customer demands as quickly as possible is critical. Oracle Retail Inventory Optimization Cloud Service comes with pre-built machine learning models that more accurately predict overall inventory levels; recommend inventory re-distribution; balance supply and demand to free up money tied up in excess inventory; and more.

The cloud service easily integrates with existing forecasting and supply chain solutions and can be deployed quickly to reduce the burden on a retailer’s IT and development teams.

Making Inventory Work

Consumer habits in recent months have been anything but typical as shortages spurred the need for people to try new brands or stores, and the desire to go out less has led to fewer shopping trips, but often larger overall grocery purchases. As a result, inventory moves out of the stores faster, creating a strain on both the supply chain and its financial model, leading to a gross margin problem.

For example, an average grocery retailer, with 30,000 SKUs and at least 1,000 stores, will have millions of SKU-store combinations. Determining the optimal replenishment plan when things are changing so rapidly is almost impossible without the help of purpose-built, machine learning models.

With Oracle Retail Inventory Optimization Cloud Service retailers can simulate and forecast optimal inventory positions and parameters to eliminate trial-and-error. As a result, supply chain executives and chief financial officers can come together to navigate tricky terrain, manage cash flow, and determine the impact of inventory on the balance sheet. The autonomous solution self-learns and automatically tunes to optimize working capital and deliver fast value by:

  • Performing continuous optimization of replenishment parameters;
  • Informing replenishment strategies with service-to-inventory trade-offs;
  • Translating objectives into machine learning-driven replenishment policies down to the item-location;
  • Recommending inventory re-distribution to serve customers and avoid markdowns;
  • Enriching the inventory movement processes with time-phased inventory projections;  
  • Helping increase employee productivity to maximize a constrained workforce; and  
  • Interacting with Oracle Retail Offer Optimization to drive better outcomes through simultaneous manipulation of supply and demand. 

The cloud service is generally available today. To learn more or request a demo, visit: https://www.oracle.com/industries/retail/products/supply-chain/inventory-optimization

Innovative Egg Assessment Tool From Canadian Med-Tech Startup Future Fertility Has Been Adopted For Patient Use by Trio Fertility

In the high-growth market of social egg freezing, there is no comparable tool to Violet™—a revolutionary technology that offers scientific insights into the quality of the female egg

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Canadian startup company <a target="_blank"…

In the high-growth market of social egg freezing, there is no comparable tool to Violet™—a revolutionary technology that offers scientific insights into the quality of the female egg

TORONTO, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Canadian startup company Future Fertility has commercially launched a product that is providing a new solution in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Their newly marketed product Violet™ is a cloud-based software that assesses the probability of an oocyte (human egg) to successfully fertilize and reach a blastocyst embryo stage. Violet™, an AI-based image technology that has been optimized through scientific collaborations with several In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) clinics around the world, analyzes 2-D images of a patient’s eggs in real-time. Until now, there has been no accepted method to visually grade an egg or predict its reproductive potential.

Toronto-based TRIO Fertility is the first IVF clinic in Canada to implement Future Fertility’s Violet™ technology. For the first time, women who have opted for social egg freezing will have a tangible report that not only includes images of each egg, but also predicts the likelihood of it becoming a blastocyst embryo. Violet™ has been shown to be superior in accuracy to trained senior embryologists by more than 20%. It predicts egg fertilization at about 90% accuracy and the likelihood of an embryo developing at 63% accuracy in a non-invasive, instantaneous, and reproducible manner (ESHRE, 2020).

«Several years ago, we published a paper showing how difficult it was to assess oocyte quality morphologically. I have seen the Violet™ data and I am convinced that this new AI technology is now able to predict fertilization and blastocyst formation from oocyte images,» says Dr. Robert F. Casper, Scientific Director and Founding Partner at TRIO Fertility. «I believe that Violet™ will change the egg freezing paradigm for our patients at TRIO.»

Women who have opted for social egg freezing, a process of cryopreservation that enables them to postpone their family planning to a later time, will now be able to have new insight and transparency about the quality of their frozen eggs.

Learn more about the dynamic Future Fertility team, or find out how your IVF clinic can benefit from this technology by visiting futurefertility.com.

Follow Future Fertility on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Future Fertility is a Canadian med-tech company that develops AI-based solutions in the area of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). They currently offer a non-invasive image analysis tool called Violet™, which visually assesses the probability of a female egg (oocyte) to successfully fertilize and reach a blastocyst stage embryo.

«Squads After School» Boosts Tech Learning and Combats Social Isolation in the Age of COVID

CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As Summer 2020 comes to a close and a new school year ramps up, families nationwide are still uncertain how this new school year will take shape in the grips of the extended coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Some students will be asked to physically return to the classroom, and others will be learning from home, while a third scenario will have kids and teens enduring both through a hybrid approach.

CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As Summer 2020 comes to a close and a new school year ramps up, families nationwide are still uncertain how this new school year will take shape in the grips of the extended coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Some students will be asked to physically return to the classroom, and others will be learning from home, while a third scenario will have kids and teens enduring both through a hybrid approach.

No matter the scenario, parents will be tasked with creatively filling gaps—kids won’t be learning as they are accustomed to, nor will they be interacting with friends in ways they are accustomed to.

iD Tech has launched Squads After School—an online enrichment program that offers the cutting-edge tech curriculum families expect of the world leader in STEM education, with an enhanced social component. Students can invite friends to build their own «Squads,» or be matched with other tech-minded participants to develop new friendships.

«The demand for high-quality STEM instruction outside of school certainly existed pre-COVID,» says Pete Ingram-Cauchi, CEO of iD Tech. «Since the pandemic hit, though, that need shifted to online learning, and we quickly pivoted our summer programs to meet that need with both the rollout of our Virtual Tech Camps and the expansion of Online Private Lessons,» Ingram-Cauchi continues.» Now, after months indoors and being distanced from others, kids are craving social time. And they want to have fun. Squads is an amazing learning opportunity, but we’ve taken the next step when it comes to the social experience and engagement.»

Since 1999, iD Tech has created fun, engaging tech experiences for kids and teens. And there’s no better way to get kids and teens excited about coding, game development, robotics, and design than through courses built around Roblox, Minecraft, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Premiere, JavaScript, Python and other platforms that kids already know and love.

«With Squads After School, parents and kids will see familiar concepts like game design and modding, but groups of friends can now also band together to try to escape a fire-filled Obby in Roblox, or to slay Minecraft’s Ender Dragon,» says Ricky Bennett, Vice President of Innovation & Partnerships at iD Tech.

Once a student is registered for a weeklong Squads After School course, they are matched with an iD Certified Instructor—staff with a passion for tech, and the skills, experience, and personality to bring out the best in participants. With each daily 90-minute after-school session, kids and teens collaborate and problem solve, bond with others over new challenges, and of course, celebrate big wins—all while connecting with and making new friends. Instructors are recruited from top universities including Caltech, NYU, and UCLA.

When students are entertained and engaged, the long-term outcomes are incredible, leading to successes in school, college, and dream careers. iD Tech’s 20+ years of experience have shown that learning alongside new or existing friends is the perfect way to boost that valuable fun factor.

Tens of thousands of students annually enroll in iD Tech programs, gaining life-changing skills in topics ranging from coding, artificial intelligence, 3D modeling, robotics, game design, and more.

Squads are forming now for courses running September through December.

ABOUT iD TECH
iD Tech is the world leader in youth STEM education and believes that all students deserve quality tech education. The family company was founded by a mother and daughter over 20 years ago in Silicon Valley and operates year-round online programs, in addition to summer camps at more than 150 top universities worldwide. Course topics include coding, 3D modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, and game design. iD Tech is dedicated to bridging the digital divide and is committed to gender diversity. Since its inception, iD Tech has donated more than $5 million in life-changing educational experiences to underrepresented communities. For more information, visit www.iDTech.com.

Penda Learning Releases 850 Online Standards-Aligned Science Activities to Support Rigorous Science Instruction in Distance and In-Person Learning Environments

LOVELAND, Colo., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The 2020-21 school year will be like no other on record and presents many challenges for educators as they strive to provide high-quality, rigorous science instruction to students in both in-person and distance learning situations. In response, Penda Learning has added 850 new interactive science activities for grades 3­–10 aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Florida NGSSS, and Texas TEKS to their digital, game-based learning platform….

LOVELAND, Colo., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The 2020-21 school year will be like no other on record and presents many challenges for educators as they strive to provide high-quality, rigorous science instruction to students in both in-person and distance learning situations. In response, Penda Learning has added 850 new interactive science activities for grades 3­–10 aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), Florida NGSSS, and Texas TEKS to their digital, game-based learning platform. Other product updates and integrations will support science instruction for English learners and students with disabilities and streamline access to the platform for both students and their teachers.

«It’s very likely that every school in the country will provide some form of digital learning this school year — whether blended or fully online,» said Brad Baird, President of Learning 2020, parent company of Penda Learning. «Penda Learning was designed to engage and motivate learners as well as facilitate independent learning. Our newest activities and latest updates make Penda an even more valuable resource to ensure continuity of learning with the uncertainty that we’re facing in the 2020-21 school year.»

During spring school closures many districts struggled with how to provide support and services to English learners and students with disabilities. Penda Learning’s integration of Immersive Reader, a Microsoft Learning Tool, into the platform makes all of Penda’s science activities accessible to learners of all abilities. In addition to providing translation of more than 60 languages, Immersive Reader enables text to be read out loud, breaks it into syllables, and increases spacing between lines and letters. It also offers text decoding solutions and other supports for students with word-reading difficulties such as dyslexia.

Whether learning in school or remotely, teachers, students and families juggle dozens of online learning platforms that all require unique usernames and passwords. This spring, many students and their caregivers were frustrated by the number of accounts they had to remember. Single Sign On (SSO) is a simple solution that Penda Learning now supports through integration with ClassLink, Clever, OAuth, and others. Penda Learning also now supports OneRoster for the secure and reliable transfer of student information between a district’s Student Information System (SIS) and the Penda platform. This will simplify and speed up the onboarding of teachers and students into Penda.

Another enhancement to Penda Learning is Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 Advantage support which enables seamless integration between Penda Learning and a district’s Learning Management System (LMS). Teachers can assign Penda activities in the LMS and students can access them directly within the LMS platform rather than having to exit and login to Penda. As students complete assignments, their Penda scores are automatically added to the LMS gradebook. This integration reduces teachers’ workload and helps students stay focused on learning.

According to Mr. Baird, «School districts realized this spring that robust technology solutions are essential to providing effective distance instruction but not every digital learning platform has the built-in tools to make access and use simple and easy for teachers, students and their families. Our world-class developers looked at the issues educators faced this spring and have enhanced Penda Learning so that it is as convenient, easy to use and flexible as possible.»

Learn more about how Penda Learning can support a return to learning and ensure rigorous science instruction wherever students are learning, visit www.pendalearning.com.

About Learning 2020
Learning 2020, parent company to Penda Learning, is dedicated to identifying pressing, unfilled needs within the K-12 education market and developing technology solutions that solve these challenges in innovative and cost-effective ways that will positively impact teaching and learning. Formed in early 2019 by Brad Baird and Bill Tudor, experienced education technology entrepreneurs, Learning 2020’s current focus is on ensuring all students have access to high quality science and math instruction whether learning at home or in school.  www.pendalearning.com

TOP the organic project Launches Plant the Change Initiative

In light of this, TOP the organic project (TOP) is launching a new initiative, Plant the Change, encouraging its female community to take a pause and make a pledge to do better, together – in big and small ways.

DUXBURY, Mass., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — While 2020 has been full of uncertainty, it has also been a year of collective growth for women around the world. In light of this, TOP the organic project (TOP) is launching a new initiative, Plant the Change, encouraging its female community to take a pause and make a pledge to do better, together – in big and small ways.

TOP, a women-owned period product company that makes plant-based,100% certified-organic cotton tampons and pads, will Plant the Change starting on August 19 and advocate for all women and girls to be introspective and seek a deeper understanding of their own health and well-being, the environment as well as social change. The initiative, running until the end of September, is aimed to empower females to embrace this year’s many challenges by trying to find the good and creating change for the better.

«This year has forced many of us to change,» says Thyme Sullivan, TOP co-founder and CEO. «It’s been a devastating year on so many levels and has impacted each of us in many different ways. At TOP, we’re choosing to find the silver lining by pledging to make positive improvements and focus on what matters most. We’re asking our community to join us. We all have the power to make change and are encouraging women around the world to vow to take better care of their bodies, health, the environment or any other causes that are close to their hearts.»

Here is how TOP’s Plant the Change initiative works:

  • Make a Pledge.

We invite our community to visit https://toporganicproject.com/pages/plant-the-change and make a personal pledge to commit to causes most important to them – big or small. It can be as simple as pledging to swap out their tampons for plant-based, organic ones and thus, protecting the planet and their personal health. Or, by promising to donate time to a local nonprofit, grabbing groceries for a neighbor, tutoring kids in need, supporting local businesses, voting, getting involved in Black Lives Matter, leading a plant-based lifestyle, being kinder to strangers or anything else they see fit.

In addition to their pledge, participants can share a photo (a selfie, pet, favorite plant, etc.) and their city. And by doing so, TOP will highlight different members from its community throughout September to inspire all of us to make changes for ourselves, our families and our communities.

Inspiring Change.

Throughout August and September, TOP will call on female artists to creatively interpret and bring its Plant the Change initiative to life, using their own styles and incorporating plants, greenery, and other sustainable materials into their pieces. The artists and their photography, paintings, drawings and graphic designs will be featured on TOP’s Instagram channels during the campaign. What’s more, in honor of each artist, the company will donate period products to a nonprofit, school or food bank of the artist’s choice. The brand is aiming to donate 20,000 period products to support women and girls in need across the country as part of their charitable giving program. To date, TOP has given 250,000 products to organizations dedicated to helping women and girls who need it the most.

Plant the Change initiative was inspired by TOP’s inclusion in Design Innovations for Women presented by The Museum of Modern Art’s (MoMA) Design Store, which is a celebration of good design for female sexuality, health and wellness. This special pop-up explores the evolution of everyday products, like period care, conceived to improve and enrich the lives of women through good design. It’s a diverse lineup of remarkable products, designed largely for women, by women. Beginning August 19 throughout September 26, the pop-up will feature beautiful design, inspiration and virtual conversations aimed to eliminate the stigma around the female body.

About TOP the organic project:

TOP the organic project is an emerging, women-owned period product company based in Duxbury, MA, that aims to educate and empower women to make better choices about the products they consume and the impact they have on their bodies, as well as the environment. TOP offers 100% organic cotton, plant-based, hypoallergenic tampons and pads that are accessible to everyone with a give-back model that drives awareness of period poverty in the U.S. Founded by Thyme Sullivan and Denielle Finkelstein, mothers and seasoned executives with decades of relevant corporate experience, TOP dreams of a world in which every girl and woman has access to healthy, organic period products that are good for them and the planet.

Owing to this, the demand for armored personnel carriers (APC) and light armored vehicles (LAV) is continuously up surging in the current scenario. The demand for easy maneuverability and increasing military budgets year on year has been reflecting increased attraction for armored vehicles among the military forces.

Another factor gaining attraction of military forces towards armored vehicles is the capability to combat cross-border conflicts. The manufacturers of armored vehicles are integrating their vehicles with advanced technologies, including sensors, countermeasure systems, command and control systems (C2), weapon mounts, and fire control systems. Pertaining to the fact that the armored vehicles are capable of carrying machine guns, rocket launchers, the demand for weapon mounts on armored vehicles is accentuating rapidly, which is supporting the growth of weapon mounts market.

TN Fireplace & Chimney advises homeowners to check air circulation to ensure safe and comfortable indoor air quality

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — TN Fireplace & Chimney, East Tennessee’s leading chimney care company and a proud supporter of Tennessee football, encourages homeowners in the area to maintain healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) by making sure their chimney air circulates properly and isn’t drawing outside dust, pollen, and other outside pollutants inside.

Air drawn in by the chimney can contribute to odors, allergies, mold, and poor performance of the fireplace or stove.

«This is a situation where energy efficiency can work against you,» said Josh Cate, owner of TN Fireplace & Chimney. «When air goes out of the chimney, it has to be replaced. Modern construction has advanced to the point that new homes are airtight, so the only route for replacement air to come in is down the chimney. When that happens, it can bring in particles and contaminants from outside as well as material that accumulates inside the chimney.»

Any accumulation in the chimney can also result in safety and performance issues, including back drafts and the buildup of a flammable material called creosote.

Cate recommends a professional inspection if you suspect your chimney is drawing down air that negatively affects your home’s indoor air quality. For immediate relief, open a window near the fireplace or stove or remove weatherstripping around doors and windows in that room.

«For a permanent solution, adding an exterior vent is one option,» Cate said. «Another is installing an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to the HVAC system. These are designed to maintain the right balance of air pressure and also filter outside air before it comes in, so most particles and irritants are eliminated. This is one of the most effective methods for improving and maintaining your home’s IAQ.»
