For more details: https://www.meetup.com/SF-Bay-ACM/events/268251079/ Dr. Kshitij Judah & Yugal Sachdev, Foghorn Systems Stanley Black & Decker is the world’s largest tools and storage company and the world’s second-largest commercial electronic security company. Stanley Black & Decker intends to be not just a leader, but to embrace technological change to become a disruptive force among global diversified industrials. They are pursuing this goal by applying advanced technologies from across the spectrum to their products, processes and business models. One such advanced technology Stanley Black & Decker has invested in is a vision-based, real-time defect prevention solution. Working with FogHorn, a leading developer of edge intelligence software, the two companies set out to reduce scrap rates of measuring tapes at the company’s New Britain plant. One of the opportunities is to reduce the scrap rate. The existing system produces a large amount of false positive defect notifications and is subsequently ignored by operators due to its poor success rate.

PRABHAKAR NARASIMHADEVARA, Director of Data Science - Stanley Black and Decker Abstract: Stanley Black and Decker, has 60,000+ products in its portfolio and in 90+ countries. A large portfolio of products drives a robust design needs to handle a large heterogenous set of SKUs with different lifecycles, demand profiles (continuous vs discrete), zero demand events, short and long history of SKUs. With over 60K+ SKUs and 100K+ demand forecasting units planning is a compute and people intensive task and in the absence of robust methods to understand and predict demand the overhead to maintain service level can be an unseen headwind hidden as the cost of doing business. This talk will cover technical challenges related to scaling compute architecture, engineering complexity, forecasting approaches and limitations, challenges of integration of AutoML engines, challenges of architecting for future algorithm inclusion to handle the complexities of product demand heterogeneity while building a maintainable system future proofed for business continuity. Additionally, the speaker will cover the full scope of what a transformational challenge this situation provides and the operating model to implement this challenge and similar challenges in more AI/ML driven approaches. The speaker will also cover how then to use such a demand forecasting system to help drive strategic actions in Product Portfolio Management, Promotions, Pricing, Sales and Marketing to showcase an ecosystem of business decision making.

The average household in the U.S., alone, consumes 300 gallons of water per day, or 100,000 a year. If every American household used a mere 5% less water daily, 600 billion gallons of water annually would be conserved. To address this challenge while delighting consumers with beautiful, functional products, Moen offers the Smart Water Network. Via technology and an app that integrates with Google, Alexa, Ring and more, program your shower to a specific temperature, tell your tap how much pressure you want. Get your water to do what you want at home -- and keep an eye on it when you're out. Moen's Mason Hall delves into the many ways that his company's technology is harnessing perhaps our most precious resource.

Moen is all about water. The Head of Connected Products, Mason Hall, shares Moen’s newest innovative products with Brian Tong and gives more insight into the Mission Moen sustainability initiative and their goal to save a trillion gallons of water by 2030.

WCX TV sits down with Yale Zhang, Co-Founder of SPLT, to learn about the work that SPLT is doing regarding shared mobility.

By: Jake Voorhees https://www.youtube.com/jakevoorhees Anya Babbitt is the Founder and CEO of Splitting Fares, Inc. (“SPLT”), an enterprise ridesharing platform changing the way people commute together. Ms. Babbitt is a marketing and brand strategist dedicated to fresh insights, authentic messaging and measurable results in sustainability. An experienced entrepreneur, Anya has founded and grown three successful companies and exited one. Anya Babbitt is not your typical entrepreneur. Number one, she is a women in a tech start-up, number two, she is the CEO and number three she is working in an area (transportation) that is dominated by men. Anya, however, is not concerned about the gender inequality or the odds of success–she is laser focused on changing the way people meet and move in urban environments. As a German immigrant, her great grandfather achieved enough success in the United States that he was able to send his five sons to Princeton Prep School and consequently to Princeton University. As a result, Anya believes that the United States provides the best opportunities for innovation and entrepreneurship. She understands and appreciates the supportive environment that allows and encourages her to build and scale her world-changing venture. Anya hopes to inspire other women to pursue entrepreneurship and contribute to creating jobs and socially innovative ventures. Anya has guided SPLT from a small startup in NYC to being chosen for Techstars Mobility 2015 driven by Detroit. Her professional experience spans over 15 years working in the advertising, corporate communications, marketing, product design and sales sector primarily in Boston and New York City, including several years engaged in corporate brand development for multiple brands in domestic and worldwide locations. As a marketing entrepreneur, Anya has successfully provided marketing strategies to such notable institutions and luxury brands as WilmerHale (formerly Hale & Dorr), Trilogy Capital Partners, the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), Vicomte A., Hermes, Cartier, Bombardier, Fraser Yachts, L’Oreal, Maybach, the Vicente Fox Center of Studies, Library and Museum, Citizens Energy Corporation and the international and domestic Polo Clubs Association. She has led large teams of individuals working under tight deadlines and with large committed budgets. Her ability to plan ahead and execute under pressure allowed her to excel within the closely tied luxury goods market creating clients out of partnership opportunities. Throughout her career she has been engaged in testing the connection between purpose driven leadership and competitive bottom line performance. As a result, her teams have consistently outperformed peers in both growth and profitability. Since 2014, she has devoted her full attention to the emerging field of social and environmental sustainability, launching SPLT. Yale Zhang is a co-founder of Splitting Fares, Inc. Prior to entering the world of entrepreneurship, Yale’s background was in transportation and logistics, focusing on the warehousing and distribution of physical goods around the United States. In his capacity as Vice President of Wintao Global, they secured multi-year software development contracts with major transportation companies including Dynamex, Datatrac, Marc Global (now a subsidiary of RedPrairie). The insight into these transportation entities allowed Yale to leave and in 2007 start Clinical Guard, his first product distribution company, in medical supplies. The company has grown from an initial annual revenue of $400K to now $3M. Later, he started a medical device innovations company, Safe Heart USA, Inc, focused on creating vital signs monitoring hardware that works in coordination with smartphones running Android and iOS. As the CEO of Safe Heart, Yale has overseen the successful commercialization of research from Oxford University, Emory University, the successful raising of grants from the Atlantic Pediatric Device Consortium, and finally, in raising capital to initially fund a newly emerging business venture. Although Yale has achieved a certain level of success with his involvement in medical devices, his primary passion has always been transportation systems, specifically autonomous vehicles. Yale believes that ongoing technology research by many private and public companies will lead to car ownership reduction as vehicles become autonomous. When that happens, extraordinary opportunities arise for people to share vehicles. He joins SPLT with the intent to help change the behavior of people so that they are comfortable with sharing rides with other people so that everyone will be ready when the autonomous vehicle economy arrives.
