Digital transformation (DT) has become a buzzword. Every industry segment across the globe is consciously jumping toward digital innovation and disruption to get ahead of their competitors. In other words, every aspect of running a business is being digitally empowered to reap all the benefits of the digital paradigm. All kinds of digitally enabled businesses across the globe are intrinsically capable of achieving bigger and better things for their constituents. Their consumers, clients, and customers will realize immense benefits with real digital transformation initiatives and implementations. The much-awaited business transformation can be easily and elegantly accomplished with a workable and winnable digital transformation strategy, plan, and execution. There are several enablers and accelerators for realizing the much-discussed digital transformation. There are a lot of digitization and digitalization technologies available to streamline and speed up the process of the required transformation. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies in close association with decisive advancements in the artificial intelligence (AI) space can bring forth the desired transitions. The other prominent and dominant technologies toward forming digital organizations include cloud IT, edge/fog computing, real-time data analytics platforms, blockchain technology, digital twin paradigm, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) techniques, enterprise mobility, and 5G communication. These technological innovations are intrinsically competent and versatile enough to fulfill the varying requirements for establishing and sustaining digital enterprises. Enterprise Digital Transformation: Technology, Tools, and Use Cases features chapters on the evolving aspects of digital transformation and intelligence. It covers the unique competencies of digitally transformed enterprises, IIoT use cases, and applications. It explains promising technological solutions widely associated with digital innovation and disruption. The book focuses on setting up and sustaining smart factories that are fulfilling the Industry 4.0 vision that is realized through the IIoT and allied technologies.

Machines are being systematically empowered to be interactive and intelligent in their operations, offerings. and outputs. There are pioneering Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and tools. Machine and Deep Learning (ML/DL) algorithms, along with their enabling frameworks, libraries, and specialized accelerators, find particularly useful applications in computer and machine vision, human machine interfaces (HMIs), and intelligent machines. Machines that can see and perceive can bring forth deeper and decisive acceleration, automation, and augmentation capabilities to businesses as well as people in their everyday assignments. Machine vision is becoming a reality because of advancements in the computer vision and device instrumentation spaces. Machines are increasingly software-defined. That is, vision-enabling software and hardware modules are being embedded in new-generation machines to be self-, surroundings, and situation-aware.Machine Intelligence: Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing emphasizes computer vision and natural language processing as drivers of advances in machine intelligence. The book examines these technologies from the algorithmic level to the applications level. It also examines the integrative technologies enabling intelligent applications in business and industry.Features:Motion images object detection over voice using deep learning algorithmsUbiquitous computing and augmented reality in HCILearning and reasoning in Artificial IntelligenceEconomic sustainability, mindfulness, and diversity in the age of artificial intelligence and machine learningStreaming analytics for healthcare and retail domainsCovering established and emerging technologies in machine vision, the book focuses on recent and novel applications and discusses state-of-the-art technologies and tools.
