VSBLTY PRAISES MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY’S SCHOOL SAFETY INITIATIVE

 

VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (OTCQB: VSBGF) (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt 5VS) (“VSBLTY”), a leading software provider of AI-driven security and retail analytics technology, applauds the efforts of Matthew McConaughey’s organization that will assist schools in accessing the over one billion dollars in grant money available through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.

https://www.greenlightsgrantinitiative.org is a one-stop shop for accessing grants along with tools and tutorials. Its purpose is to make the grant application process more streamlined and accessible. In some cases, the organization will apply on a school’s behalf.

On July 20, 2023Matthew McConaughey posted a video outlining and updating his initiative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMpdgcUjANM.

“There is the need, there is the funding, and there is the technology, yet bringing these components together for a solution is proving to be challenging for some school districts,” explained Jay Hutton, CEO of VSBLTY. “We applaud the initiative created by McConaughey and his wife to help schools access available funding and, ultimately, implement safety solutions. We look forward in being able to play a small part in this noble effort to make our schools and our children safer.”

VSBLTY’s AI-driven software Vector™ provides enhanced facial recognition that is crucial to strengthening today’s security requirements when applying contextual data, including the ability to recognize weapons or suspicious persons in a crowd.

With various partners, VSBLTY has launched a vigorous campaign with its Vector technology to provide protection to U.S. schools and houses of worship and to scale up these deployments. This additional funding and streamlined access could help accelerate these installations and rollouts.

VisualCortex streamlines workflow for computer vision models with Weights & Biases

 

VisualCortex – the Video Intelligence Platform connecting computer vision’s potential to real-world business outcomes – has adopted Weights & Biases‘ developer-first MLOps platform to systemize its end-to-end training process for Machine Learning (ML) models.

As foundational beta users of Weights & Biases recently-released ‘Launch’ module for automating ML workflows, VisualCortex’s ML team collaborated with Weights & Biases’ product team to help produce a scalable process for seamlessly managing and deploying training runs.

“Working closely with the Weights & Biases team, we’ve been able to provide feedback that’s been received with genuine thanks and then actually incorporated into their product – which is both rare and pleasing,” said VisualCortex Head of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, Mike Seddon. “At VisualCortex, quickly delivering highly-accurate ML models, which can be reliably deployed into commercial environments, is a key differentiator for us and our clients in a competitive marketplace. To do that, we need to automate our training processes, easily determine which approaches are yielding the best results, and maximize the utilization of our ML training infrastructure at all times.”

“Weights & Biases is empowering us to efficiently execute and scale our training workloads, which enables us to get the most out of the hardware we use too,” said VisualCortex Co-Founder and CEO, Patrick Elliott. “We’ve integrated Weights & Biases into our core model training workflow as a source of truth and auditability. We can evaluate and compare many different model runs, perform sweeps to find data augmentations, and easily orchestrate disparate sets of compute nodes.

“We now have a robust ML model training process, which allows us to produce – and continually improve – highly accurate computer-vision-based insights for our clients. With Weights & Biases’ help, VisualCortex has the repeatable framework needed to bring video analytics into the mainstream.”

Weights & Biases VP of Product, Phil Gurbacki, said that gathering transparent product feedback from organizations training production-ready ML models was critical.

“Gathering input from professionals in the field – who are attempting to push the boundaries of ML model training, testing and deployment – is an important feedback loop for us,” said Gurbacki. “The team at Weights & Biases is proud to be helping VisualCortex develop and deliver market-leading models for people and vehicle-centric uses cases, including real-time object detection and action recognition, across a range of industries – from retail and commercial real estate, to car park management, smart cities and transport.”

Swiss food manufacturer increases order-picking speed by 60% using two-level intelligent conveyor system

 

Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced Swiss poultry specialist KNEUSS Güggeli saved time, space and money with a new, custom-designed packaging system based on a two-level Rockwell Automation MagneMotion® intelligent conveyor system.

KNEUSS Güggeli is one of Switzerland’s leading poultry manufacturers and, working with material-handling specialist OEM Stöcklin, has implemented the new space-efficient solution to improve labor productivity in the packaging, labeling, and sorting workflow by 15%. At the same time, order-picking speed has increased from 25 to 40 packages a minute.

“We needed to accelerate the order-picking process, and in a smaller space, without exposing our workers to hazards, such as the fast-moving machine parts or excessive noise levels,” explained Max Studer, lead engineer at Stöcklin.  “It had to be Rockwell Automation MagneMotion. This is the only technology on the market that can do what we need it to do. It’s the only one that has the intelligence and the flexibility.”

With this technology the customer can quickly start and stop loads without losing control, reduce bottlenecks and increase output.

“We’re extremely happy with the new system,” said Daniel Kneuss, CEO of KNEUSS Güggeli. “It helps us to be more efficient, safer, and faster in fulfilling our customers’ orders. Working with Stöcklin and Rockwell Automation has been a great experience.”

Having created a brand-new, custom system based on MagneMotion, Stöcklin now plans to adapt and market the product for other customers, in a range of industries. “MagneMotion is highly adaptable and configurable,” said Studer. “We expect to see high demand and uptake in many different types of businesses.”

gamescom 2023: Gamecity Hamburg presents five games at the Indie Arena Booth

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Hamburg, August 10: From August 23 to 27, gamescom, the world’s largest trade fair for video games, throws open its doors in Cologne. Through its Road to gamescom program, the location initiative Gamecity Hamburg enables five indie studios from Hamburg to participate in the Indie Arena Booth, the largest collaborative developer booth worldwide. The teams will present their games to gamescom visitors, potential business partners and the press. Numerous other companies from Hamburg will also be present at gamescom to showcase their projects, make contacts and benefit from the trade fair’s unique network of professionals for the further marketing of their game.

“With our “Road to gamescom” program we take five studios to gamescom in order to present their games to publishers, partners and consumers. All games were or are part of our funding programs: the Gamecity Hamburg Prototype Funding and our Games Lift Incubator,” states Dennis Schoubye, Head of Gamecity Hamburg”, says Dennis Schoubye, Head of Gamecity Hamburg. Gamecity Hamburg will feature some of the most promising game projects from Hamburg at its dedicated booth at the Indie Arena Booth in Hall 10.2 in the area F010g – E011g.

Gamecity Hamburg presents these six studios and games at the Indie Arena Booth:

  • About Cannons + Sparrows with “About Cannons & Sparrows”: In this physics-based sidescroller with puzzle elements, players take on the role of a small cannon hatched from an egg that rolls through a forest with different platforms and branches, glides on wind streams or catapults itself forward with targeted shots.
  • Crumbling Games with “Crumbling”: In this virtual reality game, the controller itself becomes an action figure in the player’s own hands, fighting against a wide variety of toy monsters in lovingly crafted dioramas.
  • DrownTown with “Light of Atlantis”: This 2D puzzle metroidvania received the young talent award “Best Prototype” at the Deutscher Computerspielpreis 2023 (German Computer Game Award 2023) and impressed the jury with its clever interpretation of a jump ‘n’ run that embraces the element water. The water influences the movement of your robot as well as the behavior of the enemies, changes the environment and is the dynamic core mechanic of the game. Only by controlling the water to solve puzzles can players discover the secrets of Atlantis.

 

  • Radioactive Dreams with “Turbo Shell”: This fast-paced 2D platformer doesn’t require jumping! Instead, players use a unique movement tool to navigate a brave egg through various levels full of obstacles and traps. By pushing and pulling the egg within a certain radius, a dynamic gameplay experience is achieved in which you should never touch the ground.

 

  • Symmetry Break Studio with Misgiven: In this narrative 2D adventure with science fiction elements, players explore a city shrouded in toxic fog. We all know this situation: Speaking out about some things can be really hard. In this game’s unique dialog system, certain emotional states open up different ways of reacting. Since all the inhabitants wear masks, communication is even more difficult, but it is the key to unraveling this hostile environment.

All projects received funding from Gamecity Hamburg. About Cannons & Sparrows received fundings from the Games Lift Incubator, while Light of Atlantis and Turbo Shell were part of the Prototype Funding. The games Crumbling and Misgiven were able to secure funding from both the Games Lift Incubator and Prototype Funding at various stages of development.

Matrixian Group strengthens data and AI services in real estate sector with €3.5 million investment from Pride Capital Partners

 

Matrixian Group, a leading technology company from the Netherlands, is strengthening its position in the real estate sector with innovative data and AI services. They are receiving a new €1.5 million investment from Pride Capital Partners, alongside the prior €2 million funding, to stimulate technological growth and international expansion. With a strong focus on consumers, mortgage lenders, investors, and governmental entities, Matrixian Group is focusing on the fastest-growing segments.

Innovative data-driven real estate valuation

Matrixian Group uses data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to efficiently and reliably value homes through fully automated processes. Additionally, they specialize in generating ‘digital twins’ of properties and identifying sustainability and investment possibilities in real estate. Having valued over 1 million homes in the Netherlands underscores Matrixian Group’s influence and accomplishments within the housing sector.

Lars van ‘t Hoenderdaal, Managing Partner at Pride Capital Partners, comments: “Matrixian Group is shifting from being a Location Intelligence provider to a data and AI solutions provider to the real estate sector and its partners. This shift has challenged the organization in rethinking and optimizing its business model and sales market. Pride Capital Partners looks forward to continuing supporting the management of Matrixian Group in their journey.”

In the first week of September, Matrixian Group will introduce the Homematrix Desktop Valuation, a new appraisal service specially designed for consumers. With this service, Matrixian Group makes its Data and AI services accessible to a broader audience. This service empowers anyone to receive a fully automated appraisal report within 4 hours, significantly saving time and costs as no physical appraisal is required. Matrixian’s data-first philosophy ensures the quality of underlying data: every month, all buildings in the Netherlands and Europe are updated with the most recent and verified information, while strict standards for privacy and compliance are maintained.

Luke Liplijn, Founder and CEO of Matrixian Group, says: “Within seconds, we can connect buyers, sellers, and mortgage lenders with the right data, enabling fully digital transactions. This matches exactly what the market is demanding now. Our information services, powered by generative AI, meet this need in the new AI era.”

International growth and strategic positioning

Matrixian Group is dedicated to expanding its services internationally. They previously opened an office in Dubai, which serves as a hub to the Middle East, and have now also established a presence in London. This is a strategic first step and enables them to expand their services to the United Kingdom and a broader range of European clients. “With the opening of our offices in Dubai and London, we can offer more value to customers and partners in the UAE and Europe, which we consider emerging markets,” says Liplijn.

To achieve their growth ambitions, Matrixian Group has formed a new directorial team, equipped with the right expertise and experience. Additionally, the organization has spun off the hyperlocal news website Drimble, enabling them to strictly focus its core activities: data and AI services for the real estate sector and its partners. With the added support from Pride Capital Partners, Matrixian Group is confident it will realize its ambitious growth plans.

Liplijn underscores: “The name of our investor, Pride Capital Partners, is well honored. Over the past year, we have come to know them as valued partners in business. This support gives us the impetus to realize our growth plans and expand our services internationally.”
