Hey Hackers, has been nominated in HackerNoon's annual Startup of the Year awards in London, UK. Penny Black Please vote for us here: . https://hackernoon.com/startups/europe/europe-london-england-uk Read more about us below to understand why we deserve your vote. Meet Penny Black We are , the company turning your ecommerce packaging into a new, personalised marketing channel with a 100% open rate. Penny Black Brands work hard and spend money to acquire new customers but then struggle to retain these customers long-term. At Penny Black, we see an opportunity for brands to use the moment they have their customers’ complete, undivided attention – the unboxing moment – to emotionally connect with customers and encourage them to convert again. We’ve helped brands unlock a new marketing channel that converts 5x better than post-purchase emails and contributes to an 11x increase in repeat purchases. With our technology, ecommerce brands can use customer data from their store and customer data platform ( to send tailored messaging to customers through personalised inserts. Brands can also create segments so shoppers get a different experience every time they shop. including Klaviyo) My role My name is , Principal Software Engineer here at Penny Black. I am just one part of a whole team looking after our platform, management application, customers and operations. James Halsall On the technical side, our estate spans a huge variety of areas from serverless to containers to satellites, which are the little black boxes we deploy that bridge the gap between our physical printers and our cloud software platform. How we're disrupting the ecommerce marketing industry Traditionally, our industry has been dominated by digital channels, such as email, alongside a sprinkling of physical channels like direct mail. Penny Black is unique because it combines the best of both physical and digital marketing, as well as being delivered at the point that matters most: the unboxing moment. Direct mail has previously captured the physical element of marketing but usually needs more personalisation to meet high customer expectations. Whereas post-purchase channels, like email and SMS, can offer better personalisation but often get lost in the noise. We are changing the game by introducing a physical marketing channel that uses digital data to emotionally connect with customers. Our platform allows ecommerce brands to create dynamic artwork, personalise it, and then target customer segments using a huge variety of data points (including age, location, purchase history and more). Then, we allow brands to print these inserts, in real-time, during the pick-and-pack process. Ecommerce brands can then use the only IRL moment they may have with their shoppers to deeply emotionally connect and serve them a personalised experience that builds their customer loyalty. Standing out from the crowd What sets us apart from other startups in the ecommerce space is the multifaceted nature of our technology. Unlike conventional SaaS tools, our platform extends beyond software, requiring seamless connections with physical hardware such as satellites and printers. This all means brands can personalise and add personalised inserts into their orders directly within their logistics centres. We are also tasked with developing integrations for a diverse range of warehouse management systems (WMS), to make sure our solution seamlessly integrates into the existing processes of any logistics center. On top of this, we are dedicated to , working diligently to keep them at minimal levels. optimising print times In summary, our startup faces a more complex set of challenges compared to others in the ecommerce space. We are actively engaged in streamlining various aspects of our operations, presenting our team with both challenging and exhilarating problems to solve. Our predictions for the ecommerce industry in 2024 This year's been a bit of a rollercoaster for ecommerce brands. The COVID ecommerce boom has faded, and people are tightening their purse strings due to the cost of living crunch. Now, the real winners are the ones going viral on TikTok, building strong communities, or serving truly innovative products. It's getting trickier for ecommerce brands to shine and stand out from the crowd. On top of that, brands are cluing in on the magic of face-to-face interactions that got lost during the COVID rush. So, guess what? Ecommerce-first businesses are ditching the online-only approach and reopening physical stores to make shopping a memorable experience. Looking into 2024, we're betting more ecommerce folks will catch on that they've got to connect with customers both online and in the real world to stand out. New marketing channels, like personalised inserts, will allow brands to optimise what they’re already doing (like packaging up their orders) to stand out. Not only will small changes like this will surprise and delight customers, but also have a direct impact on long-term, sustainable revenue which is crucial for the year ahead.

I Tested the AirDroid Business Mobile Device Management Solution — Here’s What I Think

Sujeet Kashid is a Robotics Software Engineer, currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area working with Woven by Toyota. His expertise is integrating and improving the Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems of autonomous vehicles, and he completed his Masters in Science from University of Cincinnati with a specialization in Robotics and Intelligent Systems. Kashid’s research could help increase the safety of operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in GPS-denied indoor areas, and provides a way for multiple robots to cooperate and distribute tasks. Kashid sat down with us and broke down the evolution of the autonomous vehicles, and more importantly, what the next steps are for the automobile industry. Imagine a world of driverless cars–it seems somewhat Orwellian, doesn’t it? Like a scene out of your favorite sci-fi movie, where cars zoom around at breakneck speeds, you never fear they will collide, or in the 1990 film, Total Recall, when we see a driverless taxi. With autonomous vehicles already deployed through major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, that sci-fi future is (actually) now. But the world of autonomous vehicles is not limited to this sci-fi vision, it has implications much more far reaching. To gain a better understanding of how autonomous vehicles will continue to evolve, I was lucky enough to sit down with robotics software engineer Sujeet Kashid, who currently works with Woven, which is leading next-generation cars at Toyota. Woven by Toyota is leading Toyota’s “transformation into a mobility company,” according to their website. They’re trying to innovate with one of the most staunch and traditional of all Japanese car brands, which has a vision for the future. If you’re planning on saving up to buy a Toyota car anytime soon, they’re working on incorporating autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems. Some of the things they’re working with include OS platform Arene, Woven City, and Toyota's new “test course” for mobility. He is situated at the crossroads of the industry, and gives us a clear picture of not only where we are today, but what the future holds. The Road to Automated Vehicles is Paved with Good Intentions According to Forbes Advisor, in 2022, a total of 42,514 fatal car accidents happened on roads across the country. Meanwhile, 1.6 million crashes resulted in injuries and an additional 4.2 million accidents caused property damages. The main cause of car crashes is drunk driving, lack of seatbelt use, speeding and distracted drivers. Having autonomous vehicles on the roads will go beyond just aiding human error, we’re entering a world where the vehicles themselves can communicate with each other. “In a world where autonomous vehicles can talk to each other, and work cooperatively, they will be able to quickly clear out a way for the emergency vehicles to move faster and uninterrupted to their destination,” said Kashid. Because let's face it: Autonomous vehicles have the potential to reduce road collisions. They also provide a variety of other societal and environmental benefits. But how much of this is realistic? “The intention of robotics is to help people and make the world a better place,” says Kashid, when talking about the safety effects of the robotics industry. The industry has made drastic efforts to help improve the wellbeing of individuals both on the roads and at work–it’s safety focused. “Most road accidents can be attributed to driver error,” says Kashid. “My hope is that autonomous vehicles become ubiquitous making the road a safer place.” In fact, the implications stretch further than the road, entering into workplace safety and time-saving measures. “My research provides a method to operate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in indoor, GPS-denied environments safely,” says Kashid, diving into another future avenue of exploration. The ability for warehouse vehicles to operate independently will only serve to speed up operations and lower costs. Having autonomous vehicles communicate with each other can help guard our roads with safety. “They can communicate with each other to reach road help faster and save more lives,” he said. “In a world where autonomous vehicles can talk to each other and work cooperatively, this is totally possible.” Pedal To The Metal: The Speedbumps Autonomous Vehicles Face Putting autonomous vehicles on the road is no cheap task. Just look at Waymo, formerly known as the Google self-driving car project, who are trying to make it safe and easy for people to get around with driverless taxis. Waymo has raised over $5.5 billion to get their vehicles on the road in Phoenix alone. While autonomous vehicles are significantly safer than their manned alternatives, a couple of accidents have set the project back. Meanwhile, Tesla switches gears for their customers. Most advanced autonomous features available to many consumers, like Full Self-Driving with Tesla, are only Level 2 autonomous vehicles,” says Kashid. Toyota offers Level 2 autonomous vehicle systems as well, one that can control both steering and acceleration, but Level 2 means it still requires a driver. Right now the issue is twofold before according to the next level. “The next stage in autonomous vehicles is making the functions ubiquitous and affordable,” said Kashid. The potential speed bumps in the development of autonomous vehicles is simple. “I think it's money and time,” said Kashid. “The first cars invented were battery electric vehicles, but it needed huge technological advancements in batteries to make them hold more energy, last longer and make them affordable.” Autonomous cars need to become more affordable, too. “We need technological advancements to make autonomous vehicles affordable, and that research and development takes a lot of money now to enjoy its benefits in the near future,” he adds. Forecasting The Future: Creating Jobs While Innovating With Autonomous Vehicles The intention of robotics is to help people and make the world a better place, notes Kashid. But some tasks may get phased out as technology evolves, and people might lose jobs. “I believe the biggest area of need is that free and accessible skills education be provided to these work forces, so they can be moved to other kinds of jobs,” said Kashid. For example, an Uber driver can be taught to be an autonomous vehicle operator for testing and gathering data.” This might not only mitigate job losses in certain areas, but also help the growth of development of autonomous vehicles if that work force is taught how to help, thus achieving a symbiotic relationship,” he adds. Who doesn’t want to live in a safer world? In order for this vision to be played out there needs to be a massive effort made. This falls in large part on the automobile industry to create affordable autonomous vehicles, but also on the consumers to have faith in the product. Change is scary and often met by resistance. In this case, change should be met with open arms. The future is not far away and thanks to the efforts of those like Kashid, it might be here sooner than we think.

The Next Step Of Autonomous Cars: Safety Concerns And Affordability, Says Expert

We are all aware that AI is a hot button topic at the moment. It is something that’s attributed to just about everything, from deep fakes to stand up comedy, but how can AI help change the healthcare system in America? I recently sat down with Ramya Ganti, a tech expert in the healthcare space and the CEO of BabySteps, a women’s health startup. She has years of experience in expanding access to healthcare across the country, and offers insights into the field. Her work experience is vast, starting in a teaching hospital at Vanderbilt, and then expanding into AI and health tech fields with Thoughtful AI and Fortune 500 company BCG. She believes in creating a more efficient healthcare system that passes the savings along to the patients. Decluttering the system, and creating less confusion are at the core of Ganti’s beliefs and she was very thorough in her analysis of the United States healthcare system. Below is my best summation of what she said and how AI will help to build a stronger healthcare system that will ultimately benefit the people that matter the most: patients. What Is the Big Issue? “It all starts with an understanding of one of the biggest issues facing the healthcare system, and that issue has always been lack of efficiency,” said Ganti. “There are so many tasks that take up the time of doctors and hospital administrators that can be streamlined by the use of advanced technology such as AI.” Let’s begin by looking at a few examples she laid out for me. AI will help to speed up finding out what the diagnosis is for each patient, as well as accelerate drug development. Off to a good start already, but also it helps to streamline clinical trials, which leads to a more efficient delivery system. It can even help to automate the biggest system cloggers, administrative tasks, which in her words, “reduces the burden on healthcare providers allowing them to focus more on patient care.” Patient care is key, let’s face it. These efficiencies are welcomed on both sides, as it reduces the cost for the healthcare providers, allowing the trickle down effect of making healthcare more affordable for the patients. So what does the efficiency actually look like? Increasing Efficiency According to a Citigroup report, there will be a 25 to 30 percent reduction in administrative costs, thanks to an increase in automation of administrative tasks. AI-powered image analysis can help speed up disease detection by up to 90 percent, which leads to accelerated diagnosis leading to faster response times to medical issues. It helps nurses, too. A 30 percent offload in administrative tasks helps allow nurses to focus more on patient care and less on paperwork, according to Accenture research. Healthcare is one field where the use of AI increases the person-to-person contact. It does so by more accurately matching patients with doctors. Ganti believes heavily in the use of AI chatbots to help give research-backed answers 24/7. She says “I’m excited to see the significant impact this innovation will have.” For decades, the thought of not talking with another human being was looked down upon, but the innovation surrounding AI chatbots allows for a more efficient solution. Ganti sees a number of positive effects these chatbots are having. For example, they offer round the clock access to information, which reduces the unnecessary trips to the emergency room. Allowing patients to input their symptoms and get a preliminary assessment allows them to learn the severity of their illness, and whether a doctor's visit is required, saving money, especially for self-pay patients. And that’s not all, AI chatbots can also help with appointment scheduling once again helping to reduce administrative duties in the office. Now we know how AI is currently helping but what’s next? We are on the cusp of improving the healthcare system beyond what we had ever imagined. The next step in AI involves a deeper level of integration and personalization, and it's a major step with massive benefits for both patients and hospitals. AI can truly help with all levels of personal care. “We can see AI systems put into place that continuously analyze patient data to detect early warning signs of deterioration, as well as helping support clinicians in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes and cancer,” said Ganti. But it goes even beyond that. Operations efficiency, something that has lagged with overburdened hospitals, will improve. Predicting patient volume, resource allocation and even supply chain management, are all tasks more suited for an AI program. Ganti circles back to one of the biggest issues that hospitals face: “AI will aid with administrative duties through Robotic Process Automation, freeing up the staff for more patient care,” she said. “More time spent with patients is a fundamental benefit of integrating AI into hospitals.” Looking into the future, AI can help through augmenting intelligence. This will empower healthcare professionals and help to enhance their capabilities. It will go a step further, Ganti believes, by “ensuring AI systems are designed to complement human expertise and workflow.” Finally, getting to the heart of one of the major issues that has plagued the American healthcare system, is the wait times at doctor’s offices and hospitals. There is nothing worse than knowing you are having a health problem, but having to wait for something to be done about it. So, where does that leave the American healthcare system? We’re on the precipice of a new era, says Ganti, one driven by data analytics and a higher emphasis given to human interaction. In Ganti’s own words” “The future of healthcare will be marked by more precise, data-driven decision-making and significant financial savings,” she said. “Embracing these innovations today will pave the way for a more efficient, cost-effective healthcare system tomorrow.” We are all aware that AI is a hot button topic at the moment.
