See what Technology Vision can
do...
Switch on to the potential now…Explore the scenarios below to see how Technology Vision could impact the Retail, Chemical and Insurance industries.
  Chemicals:
Embedded
microprocessors, tags and tracking devices have massive implications for health
and safety applications in industry and commerce. Chips in storage containers
for example, could send mutually hostile signals and "yell" an alarm when
hazardously combinable substances are placed within spillage distance of one
another, or get too hot or too cold.
 Insurance:
Some insurers are
already starting to charge on a by-the-mile basis. But, what if the insurance
rate could be automatically varied based on vehicle location? You want to park
in a high-risk area? Okay, you'll only pay a premium for as long as you remain
there. And what if the insurance rate could change according to who is in the
driving seat, so as not to penalize the experienced, accident-free driver?
 Retail:
Reach your customers—no
matter where they are. What if an object or application could go automatically
to the customer, presenting tailored offerings based on precisely-identified
needs at specific moments in time? This scenario could be brought to you by
applications of technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS),
Bluetooth, RFID and Location-based services.
