FAIR: Yrityksen arki murroksessa - tekoälyratkaisuja kilpailuvalteiksi
2025-01-23 08:30 - 12:30
Miten tekoälystä saisi todellista kilpailuetua? Tule oppimaan yritysten tavoista hyödyntää tekoälyä liiketoiminnassaan ja pohtimaan kuinka tekoälystä saisi todellista kilpailuetua FAIR:in tapahtumassa 25.10.2024 Espoossa.

Tekoälystä puhutaan päivä päivältä enemmän ja syystäkin – Suomi onkin yksi maailman kärkimaista tekoälyn tutkimisessa ja palvelukehittämisessä. Mutta mikä on todellisuudessa sen potentiaali liike-elämässä? Miten yritykset voivat hyödyntää tekoälyä monipuolisesti ja käytännöllisesti, nyt ja tulevaisuudessa? Onko tekoäly todella kaikkia koskeva ja kestävä ratkaisu liikemaailman haasteiden edessä?

Finnish AI Region, eli FAIR tarjoaa mahdollisuuden tulla kuulemaan ja oppimaan tekoälyn mahdollisuuksista verkostoitumistapahtumassa, jossa kokoontuvat laaja joukko yrityksiä, asiantuntijoita ja palvelutuottajia yhte. Arjessa erilaiset tekoälyapplikaatiot ovat voineet tulla jo monelle tutuksi, mutta todellisuudessa tekoälyn käyttömahdollisuudet liiketoiminnassa, operatiivisessa suunnittelussa tai vaikka tuotannon kehittämisessä ovat lukemattomat.

Tapahtuman ohjelma

Tapahtumassa ajatuksiamme haastaa esimerkiksi yrittäjä, toimittaja ja Younite-AI-yrityksen perustaja Henkka Hyppönen, joka johdattelee osallistujat pohtimaan ihmisten ja koneiden välistä suhdetta ja potentiaalia yritysmaailmassa.

Miten yritykset voivat käyttää uutta teknologiaa hyödykseen ja luoda uutta jatkuvasti muuttuvassa työkontekstissa, unohtamatta kriittistä ajattelua?

Aiheesta jatkaa useiden eri toimialojen yritykset sekä suuryhtiöt kuten Google ja Microsoft. Tapahtumassa keskustellaan tekoälyn lisäksi laajennetun todellisuuden, suurteholaskennan ja kyberturvallisuuden mahdollisuuksista. Ennen kaikkea tilaisuudessa on kuitenkin mahdollisuus päästä oppimaan käytännön ratkaisuista ja onnistumisista sekä verkostoitumaan laaja-alaisesti eri toimijoiden kanssa, jotka toimivat mm. liikenteen, terveyden ja digitaalisten palveluiden alalla.

Webinar: Advances in Indoor and Sensor Positioning
2025-03-27 13:00 - 15:00

Date: 27.3.2025

Time: 13.00-15.00 (Finnish time)

Register now: https://locationinnovationhub.eu/en/news/27-3-2025-webinar-advances-in-indoor-and-sensor-positioning-2206/

Are you interested in indoor and sensor positioning technologies and the opportunities they offer to your business in Europe and worldwide? Welcome to Location Innovation Hub’s webinar organized together with Finnish FAIR EDIH and Nemonoor EDIH from Norway.

Indoor and sensor positioning is important because it enables accurate location in areas where GPS does not work well, such as inside buildings, tunnels and urban areas. They improve navigation, security, asset tracking and automation in industries such as healthcare, logistics, retail and smart cities. These technologies also enhance the user experience, optimise operations and support emerging applications such as augmented reality and autonomous robots.

Indoor and sensor positioning is improving with AI, sensor fusion, UWB and advanced wireless technologies such as UWB and 5G, making location tracking more precise. Challenges include signal interference, high energy consumption and a lack of standard rules across systems. Future work aims to improve accuracy, save energy and make different technologies work better together.

This webinar highlights the experiences of three Nordic EDIHs: The Location Innovation Hub, Finnish AI Region and Nemonoor Norway. We also include insights from Estonia.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from leading experts in the field. Join us to explore the future of indoor and sensor positioning and its impact on various industries!

We look forward to seeing you there!
