-
The worlds of business and retail never stay still for very long. New innovations and technologies appear that can turn entire industries on their head in a moment and if you are not paying attention to them, you can quickly get left behind by your rivals and competitors.3D printing is one of these new technologies looking to revolutionise the sector and it will affect every industry around the world. However, one of it’s more significant effects is that it is currently playing a key role in transforming the supply chain. It is impacting every stage of the product development lifecycle, from the inception of the product itself to the very nature of the packaging, presentation and delivery processes associated with it. Firstly, if you are unaware, 3D printing is a process of using a three-dimensional digital model to create a physical object by adding many thin layers of material in succession. So let’s take a look at how 3D printing affects supply chain and just what is the role of 3D printing in SCM?How 3D Design is Revolutionising The Supply Chain

By AI Trends Staff     As the  US Navy  strives to get to a 355-ship fleet by 2034, part of a 30-year plan the Navy outlined in 2019, it is finding it economical to use underwater autonomous vehicles. They meet many of the requirements of larger submarines at a fraction of the cost.     For example, the Navy awarded Boeing a $43-million contract to build four Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) last year, described in a release from  USNI News .      Boeing based its winning Orca XLUUV design on its Echo Voyager unmanned diesel-electric submersible. The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . ...

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

-
(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns. The deal announced in March to create Canada's second-largest cellular and cable operator has attracted regulatory scrutiny. The Competition Bureau said in August it obtained court orders to advance its review. The regulator on Tuesday asked market participants and Canadians to come forth with information that could assist the regulator's probe on whether the deal will reduce or prevent competition. The Competition Bureau said its review was ongoing and no conclusions have been made. ... Read More on Datafloq
