Plus One Robotics

Plus One Robotics, a global solutions provider of a vision-enhanced and AI-based parcel handling platform for intralogistics applications announced today that its PickOne induction solution and Yonder remote supervision software have been recognized by DHL’s Logistics Trend Radar 6.0, an established thought leadership publication and strategic tool encompassing major trends impacting the logistics industry. The Trend Radar lists the PickOne induction solution under Stationary Robots – Robotic Picking and Placing; deeming it highly relevant and impactful to the future of logistics. Also categorized by DHL under Remote Work & Teleportation, Yonder was recognized for its human-in-the-loop capabilities for remotely protecting logistics operations from disruption. “DHL is a trailblazer for innovative automation solutions in the logistics industry,” said Robert Nilsson, Chief Revenue Officer at Plus One Robotics. “To have our parcel handling solutions be recognized in their Logistics Trend Radar as highly impactful to the future of logistics is an honor. We’re committed to improving our solutions every day and value this recognition.” PickOne’s induction solution uses AI to identify objects for pick-and-place applications. When AI is unable to identify objects, a human teleoperator receives an alert message via Yonder human-in-the-Loop supervisor software and can gain access to and control of the robotic arm from a remote service center. The AI system learns from this intervention to further improve its capabilities if similar situations occur in the future, helping to minimize downtime. According to the Trend Radar, this AI-human collaboration indicates the potential to create new jobs through widespread implementation of robotic solutions in warehouses and manufacturing environments by upskilling existing labor. "DHL's Logistics Trend Radar was created to provide a comprehensive overview of the most meaningful innovation in the logistics space with both near term and long term impact, like Plus One Robotics" said Ben Perlson, Senior Innovation Manager at DHL. "I've seen first-hand how Plus One's PickOne and Yonder solutions can improve operational efficiency and look forward to seeing how they continue to improve the capabilities of these pick and place robotic systems in the years to come."

Holiday Gift Guide for Him

Benzinga

Buying gifts for men can be difficult, but there are ways to make the gift selection process easier. Remember, each man is different and will have various likes, hobbies and dislikes. If you’re looking for the best gifts for the man in your life, keep reading to view our holiday season gift guide for him. First, Take into Consideration These Tips on Buying the Best Gift for Any Man in Your Life No holiday gift guide would be complete without a quick discussion of things you should think about when buying gifts for him. To find the ideal gift for the man in your life, there are three things you can look for that will help you find something he'll love. Pay attention to his needs: Everyone has practical needs, but we don’t always tend to them. For example, someone may talk about needing a car wash kit so they don’t have to continue to go to the car wash but never buy one for themselves. Spend some time listening to your man to see whether you can identify anything he needs but hasn’t bought for himself. If you want to give a good gift, the No. 1 rule is that you give him something he will use and not put it on an empty shelf somewhere. Keep it simple: Men tend to like straightforward things, and that’s why you shouldn’t overthink the gift. Instead of complicating things, think about what would make his life easier or more enjoyable. For instance, if he is a music lover, you could give him tickets to his favorite concert or buy him that guitar he’s had his eye on. Notice what he likes to do and buy for himself: Does the man in your life have a? Does he have a habit of buying things that contribute to or grow his hobby? Noticing these things can make for great gift-giving ideas. If he has a hobby that he loves, give him a gift related to it. For example, does he play golf often? Get him a golf gift such as a replacement for the club he's always complaining about. Or, you could concentrate on the things he wants to do but hasn’t. Maybe you’ve heard him talk about wanting to try rock climbing — why not make his day and give him the gift of lessons? 10 Holiday Gift Ideas That Men Actually Want It’s time to get into the specifics. Here are some of the best holiday gifts for him. 1. Grill Set If the man you’re shopping for likes to cook outdoors, you have a lot of choices, but to make the gift special, why not opt for a grill set? Just like how pool players take their pool sticks seriously, any griller worth this salt understands that the tools he uses can make cooking that steak or hamburger even better. And if you want to make the gift even more special, consider personalizing it with his name or a funny saying. 2. Engraved Decanter Set If he likes to pour his drinks in style, an engraved decanter set could be the ideal gift. You can engrave the glasses with his initials, or engrave the decanter with his name or some other sentimental text. This gift is best for anyone who likes to entertain and wants to make a good impression when serving drinks. 3. Wallet Men carry a lot of important stuff in their wallets. A wallet not only needs to be practical and a size that will hold everything they carry, it also needs to match their style. Some men like simple leather wallets while others like metal wallets. If the man in your life needs a new wallet, make sure you understand his style and then wow him with a new one. 4. Watch Watches have come a long way, and if he hasn’t caught up to the times and still wears the same watch he wore a decade ago, it might be time for an upgrade. Pay attention to his style and select a watch that matches it. Would a leather band fit his style, or would a gold or silver band fit into his wardrobe and lifestyle? If he is adventurous, think about giving him a watchmaking kit so he can make his own unique watch. Watches make an excellent luxury gift for him, if you're looking for something a little more pricey. 5. Personalized Toiletry Bag If the man you are buying a gift for travels a lot, a custom toiletry bag could make a great personalized gift. You can find toiletry bags in leather in various colors or bags that are made from other types of materials. One hint if you want to buy the right style is to look at his luggage and match it as closely as you can. 5. Cigar Humidor If the man you’re buying for loves good cigars, he would likely love a good humidor to store them in. When searching for a humidor, be sure to think about the quality. A good-quality humidor will allow him to store the cigars and keep them fresh for months. 7. Laptop Bag Does he carry his laptop to and from work or when he travels? If so, a laptop bag could make a perfect gift. Look for a bag that matches his personality — whether it’s made from canvas, leather or another material — and ensure that it has enough pockets and compartments to hold the rest of his gear. This is a great tech gift for any man who carries his laptop with him. If you want to make it even more special, personalize it with his name. 8. Hot Sauce Set As a general rule, men love hot sauce. In fact, you likely know a man who has participated in a hot pepper-eating contest. If the man in your life loves hot sauce, a hot sauce set might make a well-appreciated unique gift. You can find sets that include various styles of hot sauce in many different types of bottles and containers. If you choose this gift, have fun with it and find one that matches his personality. If you can't find enough to complete a set you can use individual bottles as stocking stuffers! 9. Cooler If he likes to spend time at the beach, lake, pool party or campground, a cooler would make a great gift. You can get him a cooler that will keep his favorite canned beverages cool for days, or you could opt for a mini-cooler if he only needs it for a few hours. Just like with any other gift, if you personalize the gift it will make it that much more special to him. Plus, it will ensure that his cooler doesn’t get mixed up with his friends’ coolers. 10. Subscription Box If you want to give him a gift that keeps on giving, think about signing him up for a subscription box. You can find subscription boxes for beer lovers that will deliver a beer or wine of the month, movie collections for movie night enthusiasts, or even shaving essentials for the burly gentlemen. If you choose this type of gift, he will think of you every time a new box shows up in his mailbox! Yes, You Can Find the Perfect Gift for Him Finding unique gifts for men doesn’t have to be difficult. To find the perfect gift for him, focus on his personality, style and needs, and soon, you will know just what type of gift to buy. And don’t forget to get jewelry insurance if you choose fine jewelry as a gift. For instance, if you buy him an expensive watch and you make insurance a part of the gift, he will relax, knowing that any loss resulting from theft or damage will be covered.

Holiday Jewelry Buying Guide for Her

Benzinga

If you are looking for jewelry as the perfect gift for your girlfriend, wife, sister or friend, you have a lot to consider. After all, jewelry is a personal gift, and you can’t give her just any piece of jewelry. Instead, you’ll need to put a lot of thought into it to ensure that you give her a piece that she will love and wear for years. If you know you want to buy her jewelry but aren’t sure how to go forward, our holiday gift guide will help you find the best gifts. Buying the Perfect Gift for Your Special Someone Gift buying is an art; when you get that perfect gift, the recipient will remember it forever. And jewelry tops the list of great gifts because of all the options associated with it. For instance, you can give timeless pieces; you can customize jewelry to make it even more personal; you can purchase matching sets for friends or family; you can give permanent jewelry; and more. Even better is the fact that a gift of jewelry will last for years as long as it’s properly cared for. And if you want to take your holiday jewelry gift to the next level? Include the first year of jewelry insurance if you plan to give a piece of high-end jewelry. 5 Holiday Jewelry Gift Ideas While giving jewelry is personal because people have their own style, some traditional jewelry gifts appeal to everyone. You can make the gift special by keeping in mind the recipient’s style and how they like to wear their jewelry. Here are some unique gift ideas that will warm her heart during the holiday season. 1. Earrings If you’re looking for holiday gifts for her where you can get a little crazy, earrings are a great choice. Earrings are an ideal gift for people who like to express themselves in creative and unique ways. For instance, you can give an ear cuff or wrap perfectly sized hoops for the woman who loves the simplicity of thin gold. On the other hand, if she is more conservative in her dress, think about small diamonds or pearl earrings. 2. Rings When it comes to jewelry gifts, rings are in a special category of their own. Whether you are surprising her with a holiday proposal and an engagement ring or want to give her a ring that fits her everyday style, a ring will please even the most discerning woman in your life. You will have many options when it comes to rings. You can give a unique custom ring that draws attention, or you can buy an understated ring that looks expensive and classy. You will find many different price points when buying a ring. 3. Necklaces Giving her a necklace is a great choice because this type of jewelry gives her a chance to stand out in the crowd. You can give her a statement piece that draws attention or you can opt for an understated piece that is adorned with a single gem. You can also give a more traditional necklace such as a band of pearls or a long gold or silver chain. 4. Watches If you want to give a jewelry gift that combines beauty and practicality, a watch is a great choice. And you won’t be limited by only a few styles. You can opt for a classic watch with a thin gold band and understated face, or a unique watch that shows personality, or even go more modern and get an apple watch. Price is a factor with a watch gift, as well. You can choose an inexpensive watch or opt for a high-end watch. Either way, ensure that you choose one that fits her style and personality. 5. Bracelets Another great jewelry gift is a bracelet. Because these pieces of jewelry come in so many styles and colors, your choices are seemingly endless. You can give her a simple gold bracelet, or you can opt for a colorful bracelet made of various materials. Another great gift for her is a permanent bracelet. She will think of you every time she feels the gold touch her wrist. How to Pick the Right Piece of Jewelry As wonderful as gift jewelry is, if you select a piece that doesn’t go with her style, she may not wear it often. Here are some things you can do to ensure that you choose the right piece for her. Consider Her Style Preferences Every woman has a style of her own, and that style extends to her jewelry. Pay attention to the jewelry that she wears. Does she prefer gold or silver, maybe rose gold? Does she wear pieces with diamonds or does she prefer colored stones? Is her favorite jewelry made up of large, showy pieces, or does she prefer smaller, understated pieces? Does she view jewelry as an investment or does she prefer inexpensive jewelry that she can change often? The type of jewelry she wears now will give you insight into her style – and you can use that to select the ideal jewelry piece for her. Take into Account Her Lifestyle Her lifestyle should also take a front seat when selecting jewelry for her. For instance, does she like to wear her jewelry 24/7 or does she take it off every night? Does she work in a creative atmosphere where she can wear unique pieces, or does she work in an office where she needs to wear more modest pieces? Is she active? If so, you may not want to give her a dangly bracelet or necklace that will get in the way while she's working. Think Beyond Rings Although rings make an excellent holiday jewelry gift in many circumstances, there are some instances when it’s best to avoid them and think about a different type of jewelry. For instance, if you’re dating her and are not ready to make a commitment, a ring would not be an appropriate jewelry gift because it could too easily be associated with a wedding ring. Don’t Break the Bank It can be tempting to buy her the most expensive piece of jewelry in the showcase, but before you do that, think about your budget. If you keep the other tips in mind and select a piece of jewelry that fits her style and life, you can get away with a less expensive piece. By shopping around, you can find budget-friendly options that she will find stunning. Consult with Jewelers If you’re not certain about what type of jewelry to buy for her, it’s a good idea to meet with a few jewelers and talk to them about your choices. When you meet with them, ask about their bestsellers, which may inspire some ideas for your gift. If she has a jeweler, speak to them about her past preferences and that may lead you to a better idea of what she would love for this gift. Select the Perfect Holiday Jewelry Gift for Her Giving jewelry as gifts is a great way to let her know that you love and appreciate her. But it’s important to understand what type of jewelry she loves and what jewelry will fit into her lifestyle. Don’t forget to speak to jewelers if you aren’t sure how to select the perfect gift. And if you choose a high-end piece, be sure to insure the jewelry to ensure that it’s replaced if it’s lost, damaged or stolen. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

REPORT: Online marketplaces in India to reach $350B in Gross Merchandise Value by 2027

Accel India

With a large addressable market, growing online shopper base, and increasingly digitised MSMEs, online marketplaces in India contribute more than $100 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV), with B2C e-commerce marketplaces being the single largest segment, contributing $50 billion. Over the next five years, the marketplaces sector is expected to more than triple, to reach $350 billion in GMV. These marketplaces will be creating $400–$500 billion in enterprise value, contributing more than 5% to India’s GDP, enabling more than 15 million micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to grow their businesses online, and creating 7 million jobs by 2027. These are among the findings of a new report “ The Rise of Digital Bazaars in India ”, released by Bain & Company and Accel today. Marketplaces have created tremendous value for individual buyers, for businesses, and for the economy alike. Arpan Sheth, Partner at Bain & Company and co-author of the report said “ Marketplaces have contributed to India’s growth story by offering greater access to capital and innovative financing solutions for traditionally underserved segments; enabled MSMEs to transact online, with an increased pan-India reach; and have provided employment opportunities to more than 3 million gig workers in India. India has cultivated a vibrant and successful marketplace landscape, demonstrated by the sheer breadth of more than 300 funded marketplaces across multiple categories like retail, education, healthcare, travel, financial services, etc. Almost 20 marketplaces reached more than $1 billion in GMV and many players are turning profitable. While online marketplaces will continue to be dominated by B2C e-commerce with 40% of the total GMV in 2027, the B2B e-commerce marketplaces GMV is slated to grow by five times its current size to reach $55 billion, followed closely by online food delivery which will almost triple in size to reach nearly $22 billion. Not just for buyers and sellers, marketplaces have also seen significant traction with investors in recent years, having received cumulative funding of $30 billion between 2018 and October 2022. B2C e-commerce, B2B e-commerce, and online food delivery were among the highest- funded marketplaces sectors, together accounting for close to 60% of total funding received in the last 5 years. From B2C e-commerce marketplaces leading the share of deal volumes in 2018, B2B e-commerce marketplaces emerged as the frontrunner in 2022, with deal volumes growing to 31% of the total deals in the year so far. 2021 was a landmark year, which saw funding in marketplaces reaching $16 billion, growing four times compared to 2018 and deal volumes doubling in the same period. However, in 2022 year-to-date (YTD) marketplace funding activity has been moderate at $4.5 billion, given the tempering of 2021 highs, valuation corrections, and muted sentiments in global public markets. Prabhav Kashyap, Partner at Bain and Company and co-author of the report said, “ Dealmaking in the short to medium term is likely to be more measured and valuation multiples will see some degree of rationalisation. The future of marketplaces, on the other hand, is robust and with strong growth in their GMV and continued interest from investors, we expect the segment to see ample opportunities and a strong pick up. While the marketplace model is popular across multiple categories, upstream business-to-business (B2B), fintech, and shipping and logistics are some of the most exciting areas. These sectors show evidence of successful marketplaces as well as significant headroom for growth of new or emerging players.” Upstream B2B presents as a $1 trillion+ opportunity and a high margin potential; with fragmented supply, need for disintermediation, and government initiatives being key growth drivers. Fintech marketplaces have also grown owing to the low penetration of financial/insurance products, digitisation of user base, and availability of easy-to-use digital platforms. An approximately $200 billion addressable market and supply chain inefficiencies have resulted in a surge of tech-based shipping and logistics marketplaces. Anand Daniel, Partner at Accel and co-author of the report said, “India is one of the world’s fastest growing and most dynamic emerging markets. Our report on the country’s digital bazaars reveals the extent to which marketplaces have grown in this market across both business-to-consumer and business-to-business segments. More than 1/3rd of large outcomes in our start-up ecosystem have been marketplaces and contribute to more than $100 billion in GMV. Accel India is fortunate to have partnered with many of these marketplaces from seed to scale. We have invested more than $700 million in these companies, and continue to look for more such opportunities.” The report highlights that the next wave of scale marketplaces has the potential to emerge in two additional major categories— (1)‘Bharat-first’ models driven by participation from tier- 3+ cities, and (2) global cross-border models addressing the export potential India has. Gaming, caregiver services, creative content, Web 3.0, have large-scale marketplaces in mature markets, but are currently nascent in India. They represent future trends in the Indian marketplace landscape, and are a precursor for these segments to grow large in India given proof of scale in US and China, where multiple unicorns are present in these areas.
