Hi.
I'm Stephanie Essin, and you're watching the "Intel Developer
Zone Update."
Today we're talking about how the future of the fast food
industry can dramatically reduce food waste,
we discuss how Intel Developers are making the retail sector
much safer for business owners, and you'll
find out how you can get involved in the latest AI
Conference.

Ever wonder how fast food restaurants
can deliver your order almost as soon
as you pull up to the counter?
You may have already guessed it.
They make the food in advance.
But how do they know what you're going to order?
Well, they guess, and this leads to a lot of food waste.
In fact, over 40% of food produced globally
is wasted every year.
The Turkish company, ARDIC, uses their platform,
IoT-Ignite, combined with Intel technology,
to come up with a solution to tackle all of this waste.
They've created a system which gathers, filters, and analyzes
important variables in order to gain insight
into customer behavior.
This will allow restaurants to reduce ways to improve
operational efficiency.
So the next time you decide to order a burger instead
of a milkshake, your fast food restaurant
will be two steps ahead of you.
But how can it do this?
The system uses non-intrusive sensors
and RFID tags, which collect and generate information.
It can then apply this information
to different services.
For example, it can count customers,
track the customer journey, such as waiting in line or leaving,
and manage environmental variables, such as humidity
and temperature.
To learn more about how this new technology could greatly
reduce food waste, see the links provided.
What do you think of when you hear the word "retail?"
A highly-connected digital hub?
A data driven circuit of information?
Maybe think of it this way.
A customer walks into the store and makes a purchase.
In that one interaction, data just
traveled from the store floor to the stockroom to the security
systems to the corporate headquarters
to the cloud-based e-commerce platforms.
And with all of this traveling data
comes the need for high security so
that nothing can be hacked or tapped into along the way.
A recent report conducted by security firm Thales and 451
Research found that 43% of retailers
have suffered from a data breach within the past year,
with 1/3 of that number reporting multiple breaches.
The challenge here is to provide security
while delivering a highly available and reliable
connection.
Irish company Asavie succeeded in providing a solution using
their cloud-hosted software defined
IoT connectivity management platform, PassBridge,
built on x86 hardware.
This technology uses a multi-pronged approach
to security in which it acts as both a trust authority
and a traffic manager.
Additionally, its integrated layer-based security
helps to streamline hardware in order
to downsize the amount of technology needed in store.
To learn more about how Asavie PassBridge technology improves
the efficiency and security of retail systems,

Hold on to your Intel Computer Vision SDKs,
because the latest Artificial Intelligence
Conference is being held September 4
and 5 in San Francisco.
Rather than just watching a tutorial on a computer screen,
this AI Conference offers hands-on training
and sends attendees away with a gift.
Every registrant will gain free hardware
to work with during the lessons, and they'll
be able to keep that hardware at the end of the event.
So what will you be learning with all of this equipment?
Attendees will walk away knowing how
to build, implement, and deploy deep learning solutions.
In addition, they will be able to implement an image
classification model on both Intel Optimized
Caffe and TensorFlow.
Then they'll be able to deploy the model on CPU, GPU,
and Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick.
Along with all of this incredible training,
guests will have the opportunity to learn from
and network with top industry professionals
and the instructors for the workshop--
Meghana Rao, Rudy Cazabon, and Ben Odom.
To read more about the event, check out the links.
Thanks for watching and be sure to comment
on which of the topics most interested you.
Until then, like and subscribe for more Intel Developer Zone
Updates.
