Patrick Jandt, Balazs Hangel and György Ambruzs signing the contract

HAMBURG, 6-Mar-2024 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — The Hamburg-based LogTech company driveMybox officially announces its strategic partnership with I.C.E. Transport Hungary Kft., an established and strong freight forwarder in Eastern Europe, and is delighted to have Hungary as its third international cooperation partner. Together with its locations in Germany and Italy, driveMybox is positioning itself as a “leading partner” in digital container lorry transport.

The partnership with I.C.E. Transport Hungary now enables driveMybox to bring its expertise and technologies to another market with great potential. Due to its geographical location, Hungary occupies a central position in the Eastern and Central European transport business. This, together with the increasing level of digitalization and the resulting demand for digital solutions, makes the Hungarian market indispensable for driveMybox’s strategic growth.

“Having already enjoyed great success in our two locations in Germany and Italy, we are extremely pleased to now be introducing driveMybox to the Hungarian market. In I.C.E. Transport, we have found a competent and reliable partner who will provide excellent support for our expansion into Hungary with its many years of experience and large network,” says Patrick Jandt, CEO of driveMybox.

“We are in the starting blocks and can’t wait to roll out driveMybox – a digital platform that brings everything to the table for the benefit of customers, truckers and us as I.C.E. – in Hungary. We are proud to have a trusted partner in driveMybox and look forward to working closely with the driveMybox team. It’s time to usher in a new level of Hungarian lorry container transport!”, explains Balász Hangel, CEO of I.C.E. and now also CEO of driveMybox Hungary.

The highly motivated driveMybox team in both Hungary and Hamburg is certain that driveMybox will not only be a sustainable addition to the Hungarian logistics sector, but will also set new standards and make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency and modernising truck container transport in Hungary.

The intuitive and user-friendly booking platform was launched in Germany in 2020 and has since offered an all-in-one solution for container road transport, connecting customers and service providers via the platform. In 2021, driveMybox expanded to Italy and began offering cross-border transport services. This network has now expanded beyond Germany and Italy to Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. With Hungary as a strategic location, transports within Hungary and beyond can now also be conveniently booked via the platform. The goal: to become the leading platform for container trucking – worldwide!

driveMybox: More than just trucking
There is no easier way to get a container from A to B than with the online platform. The entire transport process, from the price enquiry (instant quote) to scheduling and invoicing, is digitalised; in just a few clicks, any company that wants to transport a container by truck can book a transport via the platform. Registered drivers, on the other hand, are shown the optimised transport orders directly on their smartphones via push notifications, allowing them to accept or reject trips flexibly and independently. In this way, driveMybox ensures greater flexibility and transparency in container trucking – and it’s free of charge too. The platform maximises truck capacity and provides a precise overview of transports through visibility and real-time data provision. It also eliminates manual processes and establishes an in-time exchange of information and documents.

We want you!
Are you just as interested as we are in solving the complexity and lack of transparency of the container transport market in your own country? Digitising the entire transport process, bringing customers and truck drivers together with innovative approaches and generating more business by opening up the market? Then contact us at info@drivemybox.de and let’s talk about how we can implement the driveMybox platform in your country. Together with your input and expertise and our full support during the process, the driveMybox platform will be customised to your local requirements, offering immense potential to improve the local container transport landscape.

Motorvision Group is accelerating its localization efforts and cost savings with the help of AI dubbing technology from Dubformer.ai

AMSTERDAM, 9-Nov-2023 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Motorvision Group, a leading European producer and operator of TV channels specializing in automotive content, is successfully transforming its localization process with the help of AI dubbing technology provided by Dubformer. By embracing AI-powered localization, Motorvision not only significantly reduced its localization costs, but also improved its connection with Motorvision’s target audience in LATAM countries and paved the way for potential expansion into new markets.

Motorvision Group is a well-established operator of TV channels, focusing on all aspects of the automotive industry, offering news coverage, documentaries, lifestyle content, and (Live) motorsports programs. With a worldwide presence and localized in multiple languages such as English, French, German, LAS, Greek, Portuguese, and Thai, Motorvision caters to a diverse range of viewers. The channels feature series with episodes ranging from 30-60 minutes in length, as well as shorter clips primarily intended for their popular Motorvision YouTube channel.

Traditionally, Motorvision relied on human translators and voice actors for subtitling and dubbing. However, the company recognized the need to optimize its localization process in order to stay competitive and meet the growing demands of its global audience. By adopting AI dubbing technology from Dubformer, Motorvision was able to expedite its localization efforts while achieving significant cost savings.

Motorvision began subtitling content in Greek and Brazilian Portuguese, and successfully produced four episodes with voiceovers in Latin American Spanish (LAS). The LAS version received widespread acceptance from Motorvision’s technical team, audience, and local linguists. Importantly, the AI-generated voiceover proved to be far more cost-effective than conventional market rates, allowing Motorvision to consider expanding AI dubbing to a wider range of languages.

One of the initial challenges faced by Motorvision during their AI dubbing testing was ensuring the correct pronunciation of different brands and eliminating the somewhat “robotic” sound (the first test was done in UK English). Dubformer effectively addressed these challenges by incorporating feedback from their “proof-listeners” and is actively working on integrating relevant glossaries to guarantee perfect pronunciation.

Furthermore, in order to create a more natural-sounding audiotrack, the Dubformer team explored different voices and applied enhanced AI mixing techniques, successfully achieving the desired outcome.

“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Dubformer,” said Raimund Koehler, CEO of Motorvision Group. â€œOur mission is to provide our viewers around the world with the highest quality programming in their preferred language. With the help of Dubformer’s unique AI technology and approach involving human proof-listeners, we can increase our output without compromising on the quality of our content.”

In the initial AI dubbing venture, Motorvision has already achieved a 17% reduction in total localization costs. Motorvision has successfully dubbed four episodes for the LATAM and Spanish markets and is now preparing for further collaboration. The company’s ambitious plans include expanding AI dubbing into French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, and potentially English, as they continue to revolutionize the localization landscape in the media industry.

Working in collaboration with Dubformer, Motorvision remains committed to enhancing its localization process and revolutionizing the media industry by leveraging AI technology.

About Dubformer
Dubformer (https://dubformer.ai/) is an AI dubbing start-up, specializing in delivering broadcast-level quality dubbing and voice-over services to the media industry. The company leverages a unique technology stack, developed by a team of leading AI experts, pairing it with the Human Touch platform. This approach ensures that the outcome aligns with the media industry standards.

Transmetrics’ AI-powered demand forecasting and predictive optimization platform deployed by Egyptian shipping company Transmar

CAIRO, Egypt / AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, 31-Mar-2021 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — The ‘AI platform for logistics’, as Transmetrics is often referred to, is successfully streamlining operations at Transmar, a leading carrier of containerized cargo between Egypt and its key partners in the region. Transmetrics’ demand forecasting and predictive optimization platform is powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.

With four decades of experience and a strong operational presence in Egypt, KSA, UAE and Sudan, Transmar has built a solid reputation in the market, founded on family values that drive the company’s ambition to offer the best in class service to its customers. Transmar owns and operates a large fleet of both dry and refrigerated containers, serves thousands of customers, and moves hundreds of commodities throughout the Middle East.

“We strongly believe in the power of Data. Transmetrics’ AI solution helps us leverage our 4 decades of operational experience, to make decisions both faster and smarter. As a regionally focused carrier we are more exposed to volatility. We’re excited about the capabilities Transmetrics will provide by helping see up to 12 weeks into the future, ensuring we have optimum planning and repositioning plans” said Ahmed el Ahwal, Commercial Manager at Transmar. In a recent study, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimates that repositioning empty containers in the shipping industry costs €13 to 17 billion per year (US$14 – 19 billion), which adds up to 8% of a shipping line’s operating costs.

Transmetrics software provides daily rolling AI-driven forecasts for the next 10 to 12 weeks based on the cleansed historical data and relevant external factors influencing the demand. The planning and system optimization tools suggest an optimal and actionable plan for the repositioning of empty containers as well as storage for the next 12 weeks. This also takes into account all the related costs. Stevedoring, gate costs, etc. as well as other variables, and business constraints. The system is equipped to consider repair and maintenance as cost variables which is now work in progress and being co-developed with Transmar.

“We are thrilled to announce this new partnership with Transmar. It goes to show that the AI revolution in logistics is happening worldwide. I look forward to the results we will achieve together with the great team at Transmar” said Jon Fath, CEO of Transmetrics. “This requires deep knowledge of logistics processes because it is still a very hands-on business. Big Data methods, which are used in our product, support our client’s team in finding smarter ways to reposition their assets so that the Transmar local agencies have the right amount containers available when they need it.“

“Transmetrics’ solution helped our team to more accurately allocate our assets. Its monitoring tools and automated forecast result in improved turntime of our assets. Actually, it is a Double Win: our customers benefit from even better services and our team gets state-of-the-art support from AI,” El Ahwal said.

Transmetrics and Transmar also identified a number of next steps to further increase the benefits of Transmetrics solutions such as cabotage management functionality and a management dashboard. The dashboard will include cost reporting and is expected to show how the supply chain will look like for the next 3 months due to its predictive capabilities. “After implementation, Transmetrics is still giving us very professional and pleasant customer service, being open for discussions on product enhancements and being always available for questions and corrections on the data or on the logic where it is needed”, said Hossam Houta, Asset Manager at Transmar.

Anna Mossberg, Silo AI: svenska företag riskerar att förlora sin konkurrensfördel utan AI

STOCKHOLM, Sverige, 10-Feb-2021 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Anna Mossberg, den nyutnämnda MD:n för Silo AI Sweden, tror att svenska företag riskerar att förlora sin konkurrensfördel utan AI. I sin nya roll siktar hon på att lösa de två stora utmaningarna som hindrar införandet av AI, brist på förståelse och svårigheten att hitta talang.

”Som styrelseproffs diskuterar jag dagligen med C-nivån. Företag har AI och digitalisering i sina strategier, men väldigt få har en vision om hur AI kan förändra deras verksamhet. Med AI kan man accelerera sin väg mot framgång men man måste börja experimentera och faktiskt göra saker, inte bara prata om att göra saker.”, säger Mossberg.

Endast 16 procent av de nordiska CXO:erna anser att de har en mycket god förståelse för hur AI kommer att påverka deras affärsmodell, enligt en ny rapport från McKinsey*. Tidigt införande av AI kan enligt McKinseys uppskattning fördubbla ett företags kassaflöde till 2030 jämfört med företag som inte använder sig av AI.

”Företagen som är ledande inom AI vet vilken typ av talang som behövs. En av de viktigaste drivkrafterna bakom Silo AIs förmåga till att leverera förstklassiga AI-lösningar har varit ett obevekligt fokus på att anställa de skickligaste talangerna inom området, och det är vad vi nu kan erbjuda de svenska företagen.”, Kommenterar Mossberg.

Mossberg har under större delen av sin karriär arbetat inom tech- och telekombranschen på bolag som Telia, Deutsche Telekom och Google. Hennes senaste operativa roll, innan Silo AI, var som affärsområdeschef på Google Sverige. Sedan dess har hon arbetat i styrelser i flera ledande nordiska företag, såsom mediekoncernen Schibsted, ledaren inom varumärken för den nordiska dagligvaruhandeln, Orkla, och Swedbank samt det schweiziska telekomföretaget Swisscoms styrelse.

Silo AI, ursprungligen från Finland, har blivit Nordens största privata AI-laboratorium med 130 AI-experter på tre år. Silo AI grundades av bland andra professor Peter Sarlin och ex-Nokia CTO Tero Ojanperä, och siktar på att bli det ledande europeiska AI-företaget och överbrygga klyftan mellan banbrytande AI-talang och konkreta affärsproblem.

The AI Textwriter helps to inspire, create and automate.

Using data and analysis, it becomes possible to gain more insight into what works and what doesn’t, creating a proposal that retains its identity. Thereby you achieve better results and save a lot of time.

The ultimate goal is a scenario whereby an account manager explains the main points of a sales pitch, the client’s interests, and what the proposal must contain as parameters. The system then automatically creates a perfect proposal and provide further support in the sales process. Things haven’t progressed so far yet, but with the new Offorte’s AI Textwriter, steps are made in the right direction.

Code A Wish Corp Hosts “AI 101” Summer Virtual Series for Teens amid Pandemic

Rockville, MD, 2020-Jul-30 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — “Code A Wish Corp” is a Maryland 501(c)3 non-profit that is run by teens and for teens. The club was started by six high schoolers that come from Montgomery, Howard, and Fairfax County in the Greater Washington DC area in the summer of 2019. They shared the same vision that public schools nationwide have an educational gap on teaching the latest technology such as AI, especially to those that are under privileged. The founder of the non-profit Faith Cheung, a senior from Richard Montgomery High School first started a school chapter of “Girls who Code” and realized the need for technology education is unmet by the public school curriculum. After teaching coding at local libraries and even foster homes in Taiwan, she founded the non-profit at the end of the summer of 2019. A team of six like-minded high school students swiftly was formed and the idea of running a tech conference called “the Future Summit” began. With months of extensive planning and coordination, the tech conference went live on November 16th, 2019 at the Hilton in Gaithersburg, MD. The “Future Summit” proved to be a huge success. More than 200 teens from the East Coast were in attendance to hear prominent entrepreneurs and computer scientists give cutting edge speeches on machine learning, voice technology AI and the fourth industrial revolution.

To continue the outreach to even more teens amid the pandemic in 2020, the group has kicked off a new virtual summer series called “AI 101”. The learning gap in the tech field is evident when we asked such basic questions regarding AI in our AI Virtual interactive webinars. Unfortunately, not many could actually answer. The organization aims to fill a huge gap to the school system in hope to provide much needed education to teens so that they can be better equipped with foundational knowledge in AI and other emerging technology.

On July 3rd, 2020, “Code A Wish” hosted their first summer 2020 AI 101 webinar where over a hundred students enthusiastically participated. The first webinar was also published on youtube for those that could not join the live session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcLELI2aroo&t=1s

Since then, a weekly live session has been running and hundreds of students have signed up to join the interactive webinars. Topics so far generated interest from nearly 300 elementary and middle schoolers. The topics have also been carefully chosen to reflect the latest affairs. For example, the second episode was dedicated to the use of AI in Covid-19 research. The team is striving for reaching even more students this summer and providing an easy to follow virtual platform to engage teens. The next virtual webinar will be hosted on Friday July 31st, 2020 at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time. To register, please use the following link: cutt.ly/AI101

Tachyum’s Prodigy Universal Processor Chip is the smallest and fastest general purpose, 64-core processor developed to date, requiring 10x less processor power, and reducing processor cost by 3x. Prodigy will directly enable a 32-Tensor Exaflop supercomputer and allow the building of machines more powerful than the human brain by 2021, years ahead of industry expectations. Prodigy reduces data center TCO (annual total cost of ownership) by 4x, through its disruptive processor architecture and a smart compiler that has made many parts of the hardware found in typical processors redundant. Fewer transistors, fewer and shorter wires, due to a smaller, simpler core, translates into much greater speed and power efficiency for the Prodigy processor.
