Recently Reuters reported that new Google-powered software will be used by the United Nations to address problems related to climate change, deforestation and food production. Called Open Foris, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) software developed by Google, will use high-resolution satellite images to monitor the environment, changes in land use, as well as the forest cover. What’s more, the software is free and can be used by anyone – from citizens who wish to monitor misuse of natural resources, to scientists or governments wanting to assess the carbon storage capacity of an area.
While this may be a milestone in Google Technology, those from the field of information technology (IT) will hardly be surprised at the new offering. IT experts, industry trackers and even novices have seen the search engine company move from strength to strength, as a result of which the company’s innovative search technologies connect millions of people around the world with information on a daily basis.
Google’s investments in research and development (R&D) and engaging in disruptive technology is great news for businesses in general, and for supply chain and logistics, in particular. Why, think of how the supply chain & logistics world would be, if Google’s investments in autonomous vehicles pay off! Drone delivery vehicles could change the transportation bit forever. The company has also put its R&D strength behind projects as disparate as space elevators, wearable gadgets, robots, home automation, driverless cars, clean energy, to smart thermostats, and many of them cater to the supply chain and logistics industry so well they might as well be custom-made.
