Chennai, August 19, 2020 – In support of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Appnext, the largest independent on-device and in-app mobile discovery platform, today announced it is offering its solution free of charge to the health, medical and fitness apps ecosystem globally.

Powered by proprietary AI technology, Appnext’s sophisticated recommendation engine connects apps with users, suggesting the relevant apps to use next, which is essential in these unprecedented times.

Elad Natanson, CEO and Co-Founder, Appnext said: “Mobile devices serve as our daily gateways to everything in life and act as a reflection of our needs. As we are collectively clinging to our mobiles like never before, app discovery is becoming a tremendously important and relevant factor. Allowing mobile users to discover apps and services exactly when needed, intuitively and efficiently, is a basic right. We are committed to supporting app developers on the front lines by accelerating their recommendation channels and more efficiently reaching users that require their services.”

“In this new reality, it’s critical to leverage innovative technology to streamline time-intensive processes so we can focus on reaching users at the moment they need our services, creating the best possible customer experience,” said Iqbal Sandira, Head of Digital Marketing at Klikdokter, an Indonesian-based healthcare provider. “Appnext device-level app discovery and exclusive placements allow us to interact with users exactly when they need us.”

In addition to its exclusively built app discovery platform, the Appnext solution includes full transparency and control over the campaign through a continually updated dashboard, allowing app developers to quickly scale and change activity. “Appnext enables us to choose and experiment with multiple placements and set bids to boost performance,” commented Liana Pranowo Tan, Digital Marketing Manager at Alodokter. “Features like these are essential to optimizing our reach and performance.”

Taiwan’s Textile Machinery Moves Forward with the Help of Smart Technologies

Aug 4, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #ACME MACHINERY, #AM-ICD Intelligent Conveyor High-Pressure Constant Speed Dyeing Machine, #PaiLung Online Monitoring System (POMS), #Taiwan Textile Research Institute

The rapid spread of Covid-19 is causing the world to go into recession in the first half-year. According to Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C.’sDepartment of Statistics and the prediction of the Taiwan Textile Research Institute, the gross output value of Taiwan’s textile industry is seeing a decline of 19.4% compared to the same season last year. The epidemic is having a great impact on Taiwan’s textile industry. As new COVID-19 infections remain rare within Taiwan and other countries are lifting lockdowns, demand for textile products is predicted to rebound. It is expected to drive demand for textile machinery.

With the industry recovery and the driving force of industry 4.0, Taiwan’s textile industry aims to innovate, intellectualize and automatize in order to achieve low-volume manufacturing and customized production. The high standard of quality and bespoke services makes Taiwan’s textile industry competitive in the global market. Originality is the key point in Taiwan’s future development and Taiwan’s textile industry acts as a key player by leading business trends with its innovation, patent layouts and strategies. 

Taiwan’s textile industry is also becoming more intelligent in response to pre-existing industry trends through improving garment quality and meeting customers’ needs with the use of modern technologies. Discussions and debate about upstream materials, digital equipment, production lines and clients, as well as the effective use of IoT, big data, cloud computing, and AI smart management, permeate the industry. Offering remote customer services using digital technologies and bespoke customization of designs, in addition to differentiating products from competitors for clients’ individual needs within limited timeframes are top priorities.

Many Taiwanese textile enterprises are introducing Smart Textile Solutions and products. For instance, PaiLung Online Monitoring System (POMS) developed by PaiLung, one of the top 3 circular knitting machine manufacturers in the world, is an integrated management platform for knitting mills. It’s able to communicate with PaiLung knitting machines from different areas via TCP-IP architecture based on a 32-bit ARM controller. Through WLAN, managers are able to access all information and control the system anytime and anywhere via their handheld devices.

Another example is dyeing machine expert, ACME MACHINERY, who have developed their AM-ICD Intelligent Conveyor High-Pressure Constant Speed Dyeing Machine. This revolutionary innovation breaks the traditional mould by replacing the water conveyor system with the mechanical force of conveyor belts and using intelligent management to reduces labour costs. This machine also achieves water-saving rates of up to 65%, owns patents in more than 100 countries and saves energy to benefit the green economy.

Covid-19 has presented many challenges for economies and industries all over the globe and, in response, Taiwan’s textile industry enterprises from upstream to downstream are working together for the industrial transformation that is now occurring. Small companies brand themselves with the integration of software and hardware, big companies utilize production moulds combined with the use of cloud technology and automation to improve efficiency, and as we move forward the strong foundation of modern industry 4.0 is providing greater value to our enterprises. The future is here now!
