  • Christopher Laing nabs Qrious CTO role to accelerate Spark Business Group’s B2B data transformation

    June 08, 2022. AUCKLAND. Qrious CEO Stephen Ponsford says Laing’s software-and-systems approach to innovation will help New Zealand’s largest data partner move more Kiwi businesses up the data analytics maturity curve. Qrious has promoted Christopher Laing to the role of Chief Technology Officer, accelerating the strategic direction of Spark Business Group’s AI and data analytics specialist business and driving data-led transformation for New Zealand enterprise. Qrious CEO Stephen Ponsford says Laing’s software-and-systems approach to innovation will help New Zealand’s largest data partner move more Kiwi businesses up the data analytics maturity curve. “Qrious is a champion for data-driven innovation and true organisational transformation, and Christopher aims to fully embed an end-to-end mindset into our consulting, where the value of data is maximised, insights are unleashed, and tangible outcomes are actually realised.” Laing hopes to embed the right ‘systematic’ mindset and culture into Qrious’ customers. “Some New Zealand businesses aren’t realising their full productivity potential – my goal is to accelerate the data-driven productivity journey for as many Kiwi enterprises as possible. “Many companies struggle to use AI and convert data into actionable insight – too often they see the insight as the end game. We help them to instead adopt a systematic approach that leverages the capabilities of modern software engineering, artificial intelligence, and IoT (Internet of Things) to fundamentally transform their business. I want to help make the ‘transformation’ buzzword a reality for businesses across New Zealand.” Laing aspires to play a part in building world-class software engineering in New Zealand – and to push the whole industry to produce technology which competes with the best in the world in terms of quality. “I was always interested in advanced Machine Learning to help tackle industry problems before it was considered cool or easy,” says Laing. “Through my experience during the rapid advancement of this sector ever since, I’ve grown incredibly enthusiastic about making cutting-edge tech useful and practical for New Zealand businesses. I believe knowing the difference between something revolutionary and a flash-in-the-pan is part of the job.” Laing is most excited about the power of data to further modernise New Zealand’s traditional industries where ‘raw’ geographical elements pose challenges – such as forestry, agriculture, aquaculture and viticulture – and believes bespoke software is vital for progress. Laing is one of New Zealand’s leading data and AI experts. He was previously Director of AI and Data Science and Qrious. Prior to joining Qrious, he has held roles including Head of Artificial Intelligence at Xero and Global Data Science Lead at Allianz in Germany, one of the world’s largest insurers. He has a diverse professional background in law, mathematics, business strategy and development, consulting, product development and operations. He is a member of the NZTech Board and AI Forum Executive Council.

  • AACB introduces fractional investing infrastructure for commercial clients

    January 18, 2022. AMSTERDAM. ABN AMRO Clearing is pleased to announce a new infrastructure for business clients such as brokers to allow fractional investing by their end clients. ABN AMRO Clearing is pleased to announce a new infrastructure for business clients such as brokers to allow fractional investing by their end clients. Fractional investing is a method of investing in part of a share, instead of needing to buy a full share. Neobroker BUX is ABN AMRO Clearing’s first client to start using this new feature. Since early January, clients of BUX might spend 10 euros to buy a fractional share in Tesla, for example. The new infrastructure has been an immediate hit, and BUX’s clients have already made over ten thousand fractional investments during the first nine days of the new feature being available on BUX Zero. Hugely popular in the United States In the US, fractional investing has been around for some time, and has become hugely popular. A few European brokers utilise the US infrastructure. Given the legal and supervisory hurdles that this involves, however, eighteen months ago ABN AMRO Clearing started work to develop its own infrastructure to offer in Europe. Following its launch earlier this month, the new service will soon make fractional trade possible in European shares too. "Smart and reliable technologies are creating more and more opportunities for customised investor services." Rutger Schellens CEO ABN AMRO Clearing Banking as a Service It was already possible for clients of brokers such as BUX to handle their investments from a bank account with ABN AMRO Clearing (Banking as a Service). Now, they can use their accounts to buy and sell both full shares and fractional shares. An innovative cloud-based administration system keeps meticulous track of what fractional purchases an investor has made, without ABN AMRO needing to buy more than one additional full share per fund. Smart technologies Smart and reliable technologies are creating more and more opportunities for customised investor services. Rutger Schellens, CEO of ABN AMRO Clearing explains, “We are active in the business-to-business segment and offer services to retail brokers such as BUX. These innovations help us to retain clients and further boost our impact and income.” Yorick Naeff, CEO at BUX adds, “The launch of fractional investing marks an important new chapter in the normalisation of investing in Europe. As the first Dutch broker to offer fractional investing in individual stocks to retail investors, BUX continues to lead the evolution of neobrokerage in Europe.

Image Credit Formula E. Jakarta has experienced rapid urbanization in recent decades and with more than 10 million inhabitants, it is the most populous city in South East Asia. Increasing population density has given rise to a multitude of development requirements and Indonesian property development and management company, PT Putragaya Wahana (PGW), has risen to the challenge. It is developing a large-scale, mixed-use complex, Thamrin Nine, in the heart of the city, centred on Tower 1, which will become the tallest building in Indonesia and the Southern Hemisphere. Building and maintaining the electric power network in high-rise buildings places great demand on ensuring uninterrupted power supply to crucial systems and equipment. ABB is delivering power distribution solutions to ensure the reliability of the electricity supply. Its UniGear switchgear provides the design flexibility and system protection necessary to satisfy the unique requirements of the project. Another project where ABB is supporting development in Indonesia is the central government’s Gresik Drinking Water Project. With a capacity of 1,000 litres per second, it aims to improve drinking water supply for community and industry in the Gresik Regency. ABB is supplying drives and programmable logic controllers to improve efficiency, giving estimated annual energy savings of 37 percent, compared to traditional solutions. The Jakarta E-Prix will also host the latest staging of FIA Girls on Track, of which ABB is global partner. The event will offer girls aged 8 to 18 the opportunity to explore multiple aspects of the motorsport industry through a set of activities and workshops. One of these will focus on ABB Robotics and feature the company’s two newest collaborative robots – YuMi and GoFa.

Featuring Formula E Founder and Chairman, Alejandro Agag, it explores how he came to create the world's first all-electric international single-seater championship, what inspires him and what’s next.

  • Siemens: We are ready – are you?

    May 30, 2022. MUNICH. The war against Ukraine exposed its dependence on fossil fuels. With its highlight showcase – the SimRod e-car – Siemens shows the breadth and depth of its automation and digitalization portfolio. Industry faces a triple challenge: climate change, pandemic, fragile global supply chains. Only a fully Digital Enterprise can adapt – Siemens is showing the way at Hannover Messe. Decarbonization of value chains: Siemens and 14 partners establish an open network (Estainium) for the exchange of climate-relevant data. Industry faces a threefold challenge. The war against Ukraine exposed its dependence on fossil fuels. Supply chains are coming under renewed pressure from lockdowns in Asia. All of this happens with the backdrop of climate change: If industrial societies do not change course, climate change will become irreversible. This triple challenge is a wake-up call: only digitalized companies will survive, grow, and make a positive contribution to society. Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries: "We have the right technologies. We need to use and scale them. We as an industry must fundamentally change. We must become more transparent and open to cooperation. Make better use of data. Siemens is ready. And we are ready to accompany our customers on this path." New technologies for digital transformation In addition to the societal challenges, there are industry-specific issues: cost pressure, material shortages and a shortage of skilled workers. The ability to flexibly adapt to new challenges will become even more important in the future. The good news is that Siemens offers the right technologies to create customer value - become more profitable and more sustainable, increase transparency, and speed, and ensure availability and scalability. With its highlight showcase – the SimRod e-car – Siemens shows the breadth and depth of its automation and digitalization portfolio. The SimRod allows visitors at the booth to experience the optimization of product and production over the entire life cycle. Digital Twins, Additive Manufacturing, and the use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are revolutionizing planning and manufacturing in the automotive industry. Real and digital worlds, IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) are merging and enable endless optimization loops to hit profitability and sustainability targets. In addition, Siemens will be presenting innovations at Hanover to ensure availability and scalability AI-based service edge app for drives : Siemens is expanding its predictive services portfolio with an edge application at Hannover Messe. Fewer production downtimes allow for 30% higher plant availability. Comprehensive solutions for data availability and mobile data access enable large amounts of data to flow from the shop floor to the top floor, connecting IT and OT networks. This allows for greater transparency and speed. Industrial 5G : An industrial 5G router enables applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing. In addition, Siemens – together with Deutsche Messe – provide all companies with access to a private industrial 5G testing field. Siemens establishes network with 14 partners to decarbonize value chains. Yet, this Hannover Messe is not about a single innovation. Isolated technological solutions will not solve the challenges of industry. Only ecosystems will: moving away from individual value capture towards joint value creation. Nowhere is this more urgent than in the fight against climate change. According to the World Economic Forum, industrial value chains account for about 20% of total global carbon emissions. Up to 90% of the CO2 footprint of a product stems from the upstream supply chain. Industry will only achieve its decarbonization targets if it reduces its overall footprint. That is why Siemens – jointly with other members - is initiating the first open, cross-company cooperation network Estainium for the trustworthy exchange of climate-relevant data. Founding members are Merck Group, NTT Data, Weidmüller, WTS Global, ATS Automation Tooling Systems, TÜV SÜD, Bison Forest, CircularTree GmbH, ecobrain AG, Faber-Castell, Ferdinand-Steinbeis-Institut, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Sustainaccount and the University of Technology Sydney. Estainium is the first ecosystem to enable the transfer of actual PCF data on a large scale instead of relying on average data. The decentralized approach with encrypted and verifiable certificates guarantees the trustworthiness of the data and the confidentiality of the supply chain. In addition, the partners are founding an association of the same name to meet the need for standardization and security in the exchange of CO2 footprints. The Estainium Association is based on three pillars: "Technology and Infrastructure", "Standards and Norms" and "Carbon Capture, Use, Storage and Compensation". It uses the disruptive possibilities of digitalization to eliminate economic misallocations and the unsatisfactory and incomplete state of information about the quantity and quality of emissions and resources used along the entire supply chain. Cedrik Neike: "As an industry, we will only become climate-neutral if we know where the emissions come from. With Estainium, we bring transparency to supply chains, we work in an open ecosystem, and we harness the power of data. This is our offer to customers, partners, and competitors. This is our contribution as a company for a better future." Further information on Siemens at Hannover Messe please see www.siemens.com/press/hm and www.siemens.com/hm
