🌼 A company that’s ‘crazy about flowers’, Zentoo Chrysanthemums aim to ‘make the best European quality brand chrysanthemums’. It’s no surprise, then, that they’re always looking to raise performance levels. That’s why, last week, we worked with Zentoo for an on-site quality training session.  By harnessing the comprehensive data we gathered on Zentoo's supply chain performance, thanks to our data loggers, we identified areas where quality gains could be made. Following the training session, we, along with Zentoo, took a closer look at the cool chain, discussing the impact of degree hours on vase life. The next step is taking the insights gleaned from the data to integrate quality-raising steps across the supply chains 📈 Interested in arranging a training session for your farm?

Over the past few months, I've been part of an incredible project that's pushing the boundaries of wildlife conservation technology. As part of the "AI for Forest Elephants 2" Challenge, I've had the opportunity to work on using AI to detect and analyse elephant rumbles in the dense forests of Central Africa 🐘🌍 . My focus has been on adapting the Google/Perch audio classification framework for elephant rumble detection. It's been a great experience to explore some bioacoustics data 👂🔊 and work with SOTA approaches and foundation models in this field. Here's a glimpse into what I've been working on: Embedding Generation: I used a pre-trained bird vocalisation model to create embeddings for our elephant audio data. It's amazing how well this transfers from birds to elephants! 🐦➡️🐘 Similarity Search: fine-tuning the similarity search process. Choosing the right target score is important - too high, and we'd miss important variations; too low, and we'd be swamped with false positives. 🎯🔍 Active Learning: This was where things got really interesting. I iterated through cycles of machine learning and human feedback, gradually improving the classifier's performance. 🤖🔁👨🏫 Visualising Results: One of my favourite parts was creating t-SNE plots of our audio embeddings. Seeing the clusters of rumbles emerge from the noise was incredibly satisfying! 🔬📊 The classifier achieved an accuracy of 0.76 and an AUC-ROC of 0.90 with minimal active learning iterations. 🎉📈 What strikes me most about this project is its potential impact.  Bioacoustics foundation models such as BirdAVES and Perch open up the possibility of allowing researchers to quickly and easily process Terabytes of data and develop classifiers for specific species/ call types/ sounds within large unlabelled datasets speeding up research and making it easier to answer important ecological questions. Beyond wildlife vocalisation, these models show promise in critical conservation efforts, such as detecting gunshots to combat poaching. This is not just about pushing technological boundaries - this is about developing tools that could make a real difference in elephant conservation efforts. There's still work to be done in this space both on the model development front but also in terms of making it easier to get these models in the hands of people working on the frontline of conservation efforts. But I'm excited about where this could lead. 🌱🕊️ I'm grateful for the chance to work on something so meaningful, and to collaborate with an amazing team of researchers and conservationists. It's another powerful reminder of how technology can be a force for good in the world.

🌐 Smart Industry transformation is like the Douro Valley’s vineyards—patience, vision, and precision lead to lasting impact. 🍇🚀 I spent some time last year in the Douro Valley, walking through those vineyards that have been there for generations. What really struck me was how much care and foresight goes into every detail. The winemakers there aren’t just thinking about today’s harvest—they’re building something that will stand the test of time, year after year. That experience has stayed with me and made me think about the work we’re doing at Coretecs. Just like those vineyards, every solution we deliver is designed to not only meet the demands of today but to lay the foundation for tomorrow. We’re helping businesses embrace the potential of Industry 4.0 with the same level of care, precision, and long-term thinking. It’s exciting to be part of a team that’s always looking ahead, working to ensure that the transformations we create are built to last. If you’re also focused on the future of industry and want to connect, let’s chat. 🍷

It is remarkable how many product teams overlook a fundamental question: Does our product effectively address a genuine need?   Take, for example, the case of Juicero, a company that secured a staggering $120 million in investments. Their ambitious venture? A sleek, high-tech juicer.   Priced at a substantial $400, this juicer boasted WiFi connectivity and the ability to extract juice from their special packs with 4 tons of force (which, by the way, were sold separately via subscription).   But get this: You could achieve the same outcome by simply squeezing the juice packs by hand. 🤐 All that capital poured into Juicero—vanished in a moment. 📉   They overlooked to address the initial enquiry: Does our product offer a compelling solution to a real problem?   This serves as a lesson. Regardless of the confidence in your product, always assess its value proposition critically. Think 'Is this problem really a problem? #valueproposition #startupfailures #juicero
