X, The Moonshot Factory

I am excited to share that Chorus has reached a major milestone with our partner Kuehne+Nagel, with the expansion of our Reader Network now spanning over 100M devices making real-time item-level visibility a reality at scale.   Together we are tackling the challenge that visibility at scale in road logistics is hard to achieve and traditional systems struggle to deliver. With our partnership, we’re accelerating the adoption of AI driven orchestration tools enabled by Chorus technology powering Kuehne+Nagel’s Road Customer Visibility platform as featured in their article: https://lnkd.in/gDZbj7xA. What’s most exciting is the smart sensors are scalable and require no maintenance, enabling every shipment to be tracked intelligently, reliably and globally with ease. A huge thank you to Hansjoerg Rodi and the Kuehne+Nagel team for their trust and collaboration turning a bold vision into tangible results delivering value to our customers. Together we’re proving that advanced visibility is here.

“During a disaster event, insurers need to understand what properties are at risk. With Bellwether…it’s a game changer.” – Catherine Tillyard, McGill and Partners. X’s Bellwether team worked with Google Research and Google DeepMind to help insurers better understand hurricane behavior. Bellwether developed a model that can predict the likelihood of whether buildings will be damaged during an impending hurricane—up to 15 days before the storm hits. Bellwether is now collaborating with McGill and Partners to help its insurance clients pay claims faster, so homeowners can rebuild sooner in the wake of a natural disaster.

🔌💡 Tapestry is working with four of New Zealand’s largest energy distributors to help improve grid reliability and reduce outages. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Northpower, Orion NZ Ltd, Unison Networks and WEL Networks will use Tapestry to transform how they inspect and maintain their grids. Using Tapestry’s AI, computer vision, and machine learning tools, they’ll be able to more quickly identify equipment that may be defective or nearing its end of life, while also gaining new insights into the grids they operate. By pooling their data, the hope is that consortium members will be able to reduce outages in the communities they serve. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gTybR9jr #TapestryEnergy

Houston we have an opportunity! Our team had a blast in Houston a few weeks back visiting Rice University and attending Afrotech. Thanks to Reginald DesRoches and his team for hosting such an inspiring day.  We loved meeting some of the researchers, scientists and entrepreneurs who are advancing discovery and innovation.  Big thanks also to the team at AFROTECH and Jeff Nelson for hosting a great conversation about innovation with Astro Teller and to everyone who came to our moonshot mixer. We look forward to continuing to shoot for the moon together!
