EDITOR‘S NOTE

A

s we come ever so closer to the year 2020, there have been nigh countless changes and noteworthy highs and lows for the industries that run the world.

Truly, there is nothing permanent in the world but change, especially with the surge of ground-breaking technology and automations, palm-sized smart gadgets that give you a ton of features and capabilities, and app and software with internet access.

Once a thing only conceptualized in works of science-fiction, technology in any form is what more than half of the world’s populace are dependent on. This is most expressly true for the technology industry.

These are the top 8 trends that techpreneurs, engineers and tech experts discovered which will surely dominate the 2020 technology sphere.

1. Hyperautomation Hyperautomation revolves around the application of cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to progressively and swiftly automate processes and enhance human skill.

2. Multiexperience Multiexperience may replace technology-literate people with people-literate technology and the traditional idea of a computer evolves from a single point of interaction to include multisensory and multitouchpoint interfaces like wearables and advanced computer sensors.

3. Democratization Democratization of technology signifies offering people with easy access to practical business knowhow without extensive and costly 4

2020 Industrial Technology Trends training. It revolves around 4 key pillars—application development, data and analytics, design and knowledge.

4. Human augmentation Human augmentation is the use of technology to enhance a person’s cognitive and physical experiences.

Not unlike cyborgs of various works of fiction, the individuals find themselves enhanced by technology to normalize an anomaly in the body or correct an injury brought about by an unfortunate incident.

5. Transparency and traceability While technology was firstly created by man to connect the world, it has now created a culture of mistrust and privacy breaching. As consumers gain more knowledge about how their data is being collected and utilized by big companies and the government, organizations are also recognizing the increasing accountability of storing and gathering the data.

6. The empowered edge Edge computing is a topology where information processing and content collection and delivery are near the sources of the information, with the idea that keeping information traffic local and distributed will reduce

inactivity.

7. The distributed cloud Distributed cloud refers to the distribution of public cloud services to locations outside the cloud provider’s physical data centers, but which are still controlled by the provider. In distributed cloud, the cloud provider is responsible for all aspects of cloud service architecture, delivery, operations, governance and updates.

8. AI security Advancing technologies such as hyperautomation and autonomous items offer transcendent prospects in the world in regards to business.

However, they also create security susceptibilities in new potential points of attack.

Every Chef and Restaurant Owners in PH should have this Induction Cooker

F

ood is an integral part of Philippine culture but not everyone can cook. It is, however, something we all should learn. We may never be the next Gordon Ramsay or Jaime Oliver, but we should strive to do more than pop a few leftovers in the microwave, cook rice, or fry a couple of eggs. While it is understandable that cooking is neither a walk in the park nor an inviting skill to learn, since it is very technical and mathematical at its core, an induction cooker makes this important life skill safer, easier, and more fun.

Usage of induction cookers is slowly on the rise, trailing and catching up to the two most common, widely used tools for cooking: gas cookers and electric cookers. These two have cemented themselves in our food-loving Filipino culture and have distinct advantages over the other. While gas cookers boast even heating across a person’s

cookware, electric cookers are easier to clean. The reason why induction cookers have come neck and neck to these two giants is because of the lack of overall difficulty in using it. An induction cooker takes the beautiful things about its gas and electric counterparts—even heating and ease of cleaning— and peppers it with even more advantages.

While induction cookers are the up and coming front-runners in the field of cooking, the TOSOT Induction Cooker stands above the rest in terms of number of advancements. It has a simple, slim, elegant design and a long list of features that keep its expert and novice users and their families in mind, making it revolutionary for meal-making and a surefire way to kick off the road to cooking proficiency.

You may not cook as well as Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver even with the TOSOT Induction

Cooker, but you definitely will feel like an expert with these five amazing features:

1. It has a beautiful digital display and touch control panel From smartphones to tablets, touchscreen has been the current technological trend so far. Now you can cook with pride, knowing full well that even your induction cooker has a sleek display, user interface, and is smooth to the touch, giving you access to a wide variety of options.

2. It’s resistant to boiling and overheating Using magnetic currents to directly heat pots and pans instead of igniting a fire on the cooktop or turning on the electric stove, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is an overall more efficient tool to use in the kitchen. You can even crank it up and place your skin against it and nothing will happen.

But while your skin won’t burn, the pots and pans will be extremely hot.

Other induction cookers aren’t so lucky with extremely hot pots and pans. It is unfortunate to see the induction cooker break by the very thing it superheated. Luckily, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is much more resistant, allowing you to cook to your heart’s content.

3. It keeps kids from hurting themselves If you want to teach your kids how to cook, then sadly, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is not the right tool for the job. With its safety features and child lock design, this state of the art induction cooker cannot be tinkered by children. It may not be fun for the kids, but it is definitely fun for you while you cook with confidence knowing that your kids can’t break it or, unlike with other types of cookers, burn the house down.

4. It has presets, so you can live your chef dreams Soup, double stewed soup, porridge, chaffy dish, barbecue, and stir-fry. These six cooking presets allow you to be the experimental chef you have always wanted to be. You can make an entire Christmas feast using only the innovative TOSOT Induction Cooker.

5. You get freebies!

Who doesn’t like freebies? When you purchase a TOSOT Induction Cooker, you also get a free stainless steel cooking pot and non-stick frying pan for all your cooking needs. The cooking pot and frying pan is resistant to heat, giving you that added layer of safety and certainty when cooking.

This is especially helpful for new restaurant owners.

While there are many more useful features, the TOSOT Induction Cooker is perfect for novice and expert chefs, restaurant owners, and home cooks.

This induction cooker is a must have, and kitting your kitchen with this beauty is will just kick your culinary adventure into high gear.

As we close in on the year 2020, many individuals in the technology industry are conducting research and nigh endlessly studying about how they can improve their efficiency, work ethic, output, and overall morale. That having been said, here are their findings and gradually growing trends that are prospected to be realized next year.

There are 8 trends that those in the technology industry have discovered:

COVER STORY

1. Hyperautomation: machines that use

technology to automate various jobs that once have required humans.

Hyperautomation revolves around the application of cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), to progressively and swiftly automate processes and enhance human skill. This extends across a range of tools that can be pre-set, but may also refer to the sophistication of the automation in that they have the capability to discover, analyse, design, automate, measure, monitor, and reassess, among many other things.

More often than not, hyperautomation results in the creation of a digitalized version of the organization.

Since no single tool can replace the initiative and unique thought-processes of human beings, hyperautomation today involves a combination of tools, including robotic process automation (RPA), intelligent business management software (iBPMS) and AI, with a goal of increasingly AI-driven decision making.

Despite not being the main goal, the creation of a digital twin of the organization (DTO), allowing organizations to visualize how functions, processes and key performance indicators interact to drive value, is a common result in hyperautomation.

This then becomes a key component of the process, providing real-time, unceasing information about the organization and impelling business opportunities.

19

COVER STORY

2. Multiexperience Multiexperience may replace technology-literate people with people-literate technology and the traditional idea of a computer evolves from a single point of interaction to include multisensory and multitouchpoint interfaces like wearables and advanced computer sensors.

For example, Domino’s Pizza created an experience beyond app-based ordering that includes autonomous vehicles, a pizza tracker and smart speaker communications.

In the near future, this will become what one may call an ambient experience. Currently, multiexperience revolves around immersive experiences that utilize augmented reality (AR), virtual (VR), mixed reality, multichannel human-machine interfaces, and sensory technologies.

22

3. Democratization Democratization of technology signifies offering people with easy access to practical business know-how without extensive and costly training. It revolves around 4 key pillars— application development, data and analytics, design and knowledge.

This is often insinuated to as “citizen access,� which has led to the rise of citizen data scientists, citizen programmers, and the like.

4. Human augmentation Human augmentation is the use of technology to enhance a person’s cognitive and physical experiences. Not unlike cyborgs of various works of fiction, the individuals find themselves enhanced by technology to normalize an anomaly in the body or correct an injury brought about by an unfortunate incident.

Physical augmentation modifies an intrinsic physical capability or corrects a physical incapability by implanting a device within or on the body. For example, the automotive or mining industries use wearables to improve worker safety.

In other industries, such as retail and travel, wearables are used to increase worker productivity.

In the medical technology industry, technology for disabilities are becoming more streamlined with non-stop upgrades every year.

27

5. Transparency and traceability While technology was firstly created by man to connect the world, it has now created a culture of mistrust and privacy breaching. As consumers gain more knowledge about how their data is being collected and utilized by big companies and the government, organizations are also recognizing the increasing accountability of storing and gathering the data.

In addition, artificial intelligence and machine learning are incessantly used to make decisions in lieu of humans, swelling the trust crisis and driving the requirement for the governance of artificial intelligence.

This trend requires a focus on six key elements of trust: ethics, integrity, openness, accountability, competence, and consistency.

6. The empowered edge Edge computing is a topology where information processing and content collection and delivery are near the sources of the information, with the idea that keeping information traffic local and distributed will reduce inactivity.

This is comprised of all the technology on the Internet of Things (IoT). The empowered edge looks at how these devices are snowballing and laying the groundwork for smart spaces.

7. The distributed cloud Distributed cloud refers to the distribution of public cloud services to locations outside the cloud provider’s physical data centers, but which are still controlled by the provider. In distributed cloud, the cloud provider is responsible for all aspects of cloud service architecture, delivery, operations, governance and updates. The evolution from centralized public cloud to distributed public cloud ushers in a new era of cloud computing.

Distributed cloud allows data centers to be located anywhere. This solves both technical issues like latency and also regulatory challenges like data sovereignty. It also offers the benefits of a public cloud service alongside the benefits of a private, local cloud.

30

8. AI security Advancing technologies such as hyperautomation and autonomous items offer transcendent prospects in the world in regards to business. However, they also create security susceptibilities in new potential points of attack. Security teams must address these challenges and be aware of how AI will impact the security space, lest the Terminator franchise becomes a thing of reality.

The line between technology infringing upon the responsibilities of man and helping us do our daily tasks is blurry indeed, but without technology we would not have gotten to where we are now. That having been said, as technology continues to grow and become more advanced, the minds behind them must be calculated and clear in imposing restrictions around these machines. Thankfully, no machine, no matter how advanced, can every truly emulate the workings of the human mind.

Web Design Company, Huemor, Shares 3 Tips for Optimizing Your Mobile Website A functional mobile website is essential for any company with an online presence because over 50% of web traffic comes from mobile devices. Despite this, many websites still struggle with their mobile platform compatibility, relying on hover navigation incompatible with touchscreens, click functions too small for fingers, and designs that aren’t made for smaller screens.

Web design company, Huemor, shares 3 essential tips for optimizing your mobile website below.

1. Don’t push visitors to a native application: Many companies have taken advantage of the native app building trend in business, creating their own apps for brands, media, and ecommerce. However, many of these companies do so at the 46

expensive of the mobile experience; they limit the user experience or entirely block it with a push to download their native app. While this could be effective for increasing native app downloads, it’s extremely irritating for the casual site browser who has no interest in downloading another app. It can completely ruin the mobile experience.

2. Tailor accessibility settings for mobile first: This means ensuring your website can account for larger text and inverted color schemes, two features that make your website more accessible to people with poorer vision. In addition, your mobile website should avoid any hover functions, as they are rendered useless on mobile touchscreens. Your mobile site

should be viewable and functional on any mobile browser, without utilizing any native-code plugins like Java or Flash.

3. Design for a smaller space without losing your brand: Your site’s user experience should be the same on both mobile and desktop. This means making accommodations for smaller screen sizes: automatically resizing images, being serious about decreasing loading times, and using responsive architecture to change your site’s layout to fit within the narrower screens of mobile devices.

Targeting mobile users with a seamless and functional mobile browsing experience will not only help your website standout among the competition, but also

give your visitors a quality user experience in every aspect of the online world. Take advantage of the significant increase in mobile browsing traffic today through the 3 essential optimizations above.

Ten Innovativev Solutions of Social Incubator Program in Abu Dhabi Rewarded AED 4.4 Million Investment to Support People of Determination Ma’an announced today the ten winning teams in the first cycle of the Ma’an Social Incubator program.

Ma’an is part of the ‘Ghadan 21’ accelerated development programme designed to spur diversity and growth in Abu Dhabi’s economy to make it one of the best places in the world to do business, invest, live, work and visit.

The winning projects include a mobile app that helps convert text to sign language and another that helps people with visual impairments to navigate their surroundings through sensors and visual recognition. Among the winners of this year’s edition, six teams were local, while four teams were international.

The event this morning announcing the ten winning projects was attended by His Excellency Sheikh Abdulla Bin Mohamed Al Hamed, Chairman of Department of Health; His Excellency Dr. Mugheer Khamis Al Khaili, Chairman of the Department of Community Development; His Excellency Abdullah Abdulali 62

Al Humaidan, Secretary General of Zayed Higher Organization for People of Determination; His Excellency Hamad Al Dhaheri, Director General of the Social Support Authority; and Her Excellency Salama Al Amimi, Director General, Authority of Social Contribution - Ma’an.

The Ma’an Social Incubator program is the first of its kind in the region, with each of the ten teams eligible to receive funding up to AED 200,000 released at every successful milestone the participant reaches, as well as support for living and housing expenses for non-residents of Abu Dhabi.

The program aims to support and develop innovative social concepts and start-up projects so they may become social institutions or civil facilities with an active role in helping people of determination in facing challenges in their communities, offering them solutions that improve their quality of life and achieve their ambitions.

The Ma’an Social Incubator program also provides the necessary and specialized support needed

for these projects to be sustainable, offering the guidance and tools needed for growth, including financial and moral support, as well as office space, business expertise and access to possible investors.

Since launching the program in May earlier this year, 130 ventures applied for the Ma’an Social Incubator program from as far afield as Brazil, Denmark, France, Nigeria and India.

Later in August, a shortlist of 25 nominated teams were invited to pitch their solutions before a panel who came together to decide on the final ten winning teams.

The teams will have the opportunity to test their social start-up ideas and gain an in-depth understanding of the market, in addition to attending a series of plenary workshops and receiving mentor advice that will help them develop their idea into a product or service, beginning in September and continuing for 16 weeks.

Ma’an was established in February 2019 by the Department of Community Development in Abu Dhabi with the aim of bringing together the government, the private sector and civil society to support a culture of social contribution and participation. The authority will deliver solutions for social challenges with four main pillars of work – a Social Investment Fund, a Social Incubator Program, Community Engagement Programs and the introduction of a new type of public contracting, Social Impact Bonds.

Ma’an seeks to reinforce the culture of giving in Abu Dhabi, and establish the volunteering needs of the community, aiming to make us of the currently available social volunteering opportunities and initiatives, as well as contribute by generating new opportunities.

Her Excellency Ms. Salama Al Ameemi, Director General of Ma’an said: “We are absolutely delighted with the incredibly innovative ten solutions that have been awarded a place in the Ma’an Social Incubator program, and are now fully focused on helping the entrepreneurs to make their dream become a reality.

“These social start-ups will contribute towards establishing sustainable social solutions for people of determination and raising their standard of living in Abu Dhabi and the UAE in general,

with an ambition for global impact in the future.

This is a hugely important phase in our first incubator program, and we are very much looking forward to working with the committed and passionate people leading each of the start-ups, making their concepts and projects a reality.”

The program offers unique and valuable networking opportunities for the teams to build relationships with individuals outside of the program, including investors, third sector leaders, industry figures, and decision makers in specialized fields regionally and internationally. Ma’an will also host ‘demo days’ to present the concepts of the ten winning team organised for review and evaluation, as well as to leverage funding from investors.

The 10 successful start-ups are: 1. Accessible Ad: Platform for information, expertise, training and support to ensure effective accessibility for People of Determination in Abu Dhabi 2. The Butterfly Foundation: Advocacy agency to bring support and empowerment in the hands of People of Determination in Abu Dhabi 3.

12V Waterproof Actuator One of the distinctive advantages of the waterproof linear actuators is undoubtedly their simple design

increases the resistance of the product to disadvantageous factors.

Waterproof electric linear actuators of Progressive Automations manufacturer can be used for the various types of sea works. This can be a shipbuilding industry where this technology may come in handy for the construction of automated boat hatches that of military submarines where they can be responsible for the pressure control which is essential for the submarines’ operability. There are three basic types of water protection: • IP54 – provides protection against water splashes penetration from all sides; • IP65 – prevents the penetration of water flows inside the case at any possible angle; • IP67 – with such protection the device is capable to function when fully submerged under the water.

E

lectric linear actuators are the mechanisms, the core task of which is the transfer of force from the control device to the executive one. Linear actuators vary in the way they transfer their energy. At the same time, the object controlled can be driven by a rotational or linear motion action.

One of the distinctive advantages of the waterproof linear actuators is undoubtedly their simple design. Due to this, actuators have an impressively long-lasting life service, in addition, they do not require regular maintenance and are unpretentious to the conditions. Simple execution allows using devices even in unfavorable climatic conditions. Depending on the manufacturer, models may have additional protection that

70

For example, PA-06 linear actuator model of Progressive Automations has the IP67 water protection meaning that this device is really capable to function even when fully submerged into the water and even when being at a significant depth. The minimum technical specifications of such waterproof electric linear actuator are the following: stroke – 2 inches, force – 22 Ibs, speed – 1.38 inches/sec, whereas the maximum technical specifications are like this: stroke – 24 inches, force – 180 Ibs, speed – 0.47 inches/sec.

Customers can choose technical specifications so that they could adjust their waterproof linear actuators according to the needs of performance wanted. The PA-06 electric linear actuator of Progressive Automations is capable of working under the harshest conditions and withstand water, and other potentially unwanted liquids, however for short periods of time.

This high-rated quality makes this kind of electric linear actuators to be the most popular choice for marine engineering. Such actuators

are capable to work within -20 to +60 °C temperature window. The warranty covering this electric actuator lasts for 18 months since the purchase. This linear actuator is mounted with the help of BRK-06 mounting brackets that make the installation process extremely easy.

Furthermore, this kind of electric actuators is compatible with a whole range of control systems and control boxes transforming the operation process into a pleasure. Control boxes allow installing electric linear actuators of high water protection merely everywhere if dimensions are suitable for their installation.

Actuators of Progressive Automations all-thetime provide the most effective performance while at the same time they are always reliable. These actuators can easily undergo

the most terrific weather conditions and prove themselves to be the best solution where other alike technologies feel themselves uncomfortable and present poor performance.

Is Your Cyber Prevention Plan Up To Date?

C

yber defences need continuous development. Even the latest cyber protection strategies will have limited lifespans, and cyberprotection obsolescence is a common issue when it comes to protecting a business.

The latest updates to your malware and password protection systems will not remain effective if they are not regularly checked to make sure that they remain up to date, and able to tackle the latest cybercrime trends. With new threats emerging regularly, keeping one step ahead of cybercriminals means ensuring that your cyber defenses are as up to date as possible, and that means being aware of the latest

74

threats and how to protect your business from them.

Team Awareness The weakest point of any defence strategy is always going to be people. That’s why you need to ensure that you develop a strong culture of security within your business. Enforcing a solid and robust security process is vital if you want to keep your customers, staff, and business safe. Make sure that your team is aware of: • Your defense architecture • Security protocols • Basic security standards Keep these measures updated, and you will be better able to

protect yourself from threat.

Updated Software and Hardware Hackers are always looking for an exploitable weakness that they can make use of. That’s why you need to keep your software and hardware updated as much as possible. Those updates are generally designed to deal with specific new threats, so failing to update means that you are exposed to unnecessary risk.

Endpoint management is being used by more companies than ever, as it allows for faster recognition of threats from a zero-day standpoint.

Cost-effective and automated endpoint management using recognized tools like McAfee can go a long way to keeping your business safer.

Protecting Code

Network Monitoring

Open source code is fast becoming a necessity. This is because demands on developers are too fast for software development to keep up with.

Unfortunately, open-source code comes with a variety of challenges in terms of both security and compliance. If your business makes use of open source code, then you need to make certain that you have the available resources and manpower needed to review that code for bugs, licensing issues, and security risks. Failing to do so means exposing yourself to the potential harm caused by allowing malicious actors into your software.

All of the data that your company processes needs to be stringently monitored at all times. It is only through regular monitoring that you will be able to identify the procedures and patterns of safe behavior. This monitoring can be automated with a Security Information and Event management system, but the human element of this monitoring should not be overlooked. Privilege management in terms of access to data is a key element of network monitoring, so segmentation of those privileges is not just an option to consider but a vital necessity in the digital age.

There are just as many ways to protect a business as there are to cause it harm. This means ensuring that your security processes are as tight as possible and get ongoing evaluations.

When hackers take advantage of both technological and human weaknesses to gain access to the inner workings of a business, the consequences can be devastating.

Food for Thought: These Foods Will Keep You More Focused and Alert at Work The average workday doesn’t just start at 8 and end at 5. It starts long before that with waking up, getting ready, getting out the door, commuting and then it ends in reverse. Staying sharp and focused can be a real struggle for many people, especially engineers. In this article, we’ll show you how to keep your edge all day long no matter what profession you’re in.

Start the Day off Right This does not mean the sugar-laden coffee drinks or the donut cart at the office. It means high protein and nutrient-loaded. Even if you have to grab-and-go something, make it something real and not processed. Eggs, even hard-boiled, are a fast, portable way to get charged without an eventual crash. Pre-packaged portions of cheese are great, too! Keep them in the fridge and grab a few before you head out. Keep some bottled water in there to avoid that detour to the coffee joint. Your brain will thank you later!

78

Mid-Morning Munchies They’re a real thing, aren’t they? Control the urge to reach for yet another cup of coffee and the box of Danish in the breakroom. Keep some nuts or trail mix or some power bars and re-fuel! This is a good time to indulge in some healthy fats like avocados or cheese as well!

Lunch is Not Dinner Whether or not your job requires you to be a desk jockey or a real jockey, lunch isn’t an all-you-can-eat at the trough event. Work potlucks and birthday celebrations can be fun, but they are often heavy on conveniences like chips and dip and greasy, carbohydrate-laden casseroles. Not to mention every kind of cookie and that overly frosted birthday cake. Just remind yourself that getting seconds (or thirds) will leave you hibernating under your desk before you know it!

Bring your own food, opting for proteins like chicken, tuna, or even last night’s leftover grilled salmon. Cooking at home using appliances like an electric grill helps to curb the bad fats in your meal and they also taste pretty great too!

If you can, sneak away and take a walk outside. Regardless of the weather, a brisk walk to get some fresh air in your lungs can power you through the day!

The Dreaded Slump Here you are at 3 PM with two hours to go and everything on your desk reads like a foreign language. Resist the temptation to spike your

blood sugar with candy bars and soda and take this opportunity to breathe deeply, stretch, take a quick stroll if you can. If that doesn’t perk you up, grab the kinds of snacks that will keep you alert without the inevitable crash of processed foods and beverages. Cubes of cheese and salami, celery or apples with peanut butter, raw carrots or other veggies, or a handful of berries will keep the Munchie Monster away until your great escape at workday’s end.

However, if you must treat yourself, a small microwave bag of popcorn will do in a pinch. So will a few squares of dark chocolate (70 to 85% cocoa). In fact, studies prove that not only does high-quality dark chocolate do wonders for your brain, but dark chocolate has been proven to improve memory and cognitive skills. It’s a win-win, not only for your focus but your attitude – which your coworkers will appreciate!

To Sum Up Regardless of your career ‘lifestyle’, it’s important to be mindful of what you are eating and drinking throughout the workday. Whether you sit at a desk or behind the wheel, work can be stressful.

Coworkers can be stressful. But fueling your body with the right foods can keep you performing like the Rockstar your boss thinks you are!
