We increased the typologies contained within the app and expanded the pattern book of apartments to provide additional variety.
This is a multimodal problem to solve; even though we had suppliers, manufacturers, laboratories, regulators, waste management, academia and design engineers in the room, we accepted not everybody was represented who needs to be.To move more quickly continued multi-agency conversations and collaborations are needed.. Collaborative problem solving on this scale requires the right skills.
Although some great engineers are coming out of universities, the curriculum has not adjusted quickly enough to emerging trends.Students are well-versed in chemical engineering skills; however, equipping them to work across boundaries within organisations, and across organisations to help change happen quickly, seems like a challenge for academia and industry.Creating courses which span traditional academic bastions seems important, while developing graduates into dynamic, collaborative and imaginative problem solvers is the key challenge for business.. A huge issue that is often ignored, but fundamental to the truism of “reduce” being the most important step in sustainability, is the enormous overproduction, supply, and wastage of drugs in the global ecosystem..
Some medicines are manufactured, prescribed, and sold which have little or no positive impact on human health.There is evidence that medicines commonly prescribed to women do not work.
There is a good deal of published research and perspectives on the oversupply of marginally beneficial, or even harmful, drugs..
If we could remove this demand for drugs along with severely reducing the waste of wrongly sold, wrongly prescribed, never-taken and out-of-shelf-life waste, this would have a significant impact on the environmental footprint of the industry.. One of the points raised was the lack of general knowledge about the impact manufacturing and delivery of medicine has on the environment.As such, onsite IoT technology is a key area of interest for the company.
Lamont feels we need to slow down to go faster here, deploying simple, smart construction technology solutions to unlock sites.Afterall, construction sites are temporary in nature, and contain vast amounts of data which isn’t currently being tracked, but easily could be with existing tech.
In reality, there’s no need for 5G technology in order to obtain the data we’re looking to gather onsite, Lamont says.Still, that’s primarily what we’re hearing about these days.
