Prolifics’ Contribution to CR Foundation Diagnostic Centre

Prolifics understands firsthand the importance of accessible and quality healthcare. If you’re someone who works a full-time job, ‘tries your best’ to attend routine medical care and feels relatively secure in your health and economic stability – you may often forget what a blessing it is to have access to these types of resources. However, this luxury remains out of reach for many communities worldwide, including those in West Zone Hyderabad, where hardworking individuals struggle to access essential healthcare services. 

West Zone Hyderabad is home to over a million residents, predominantly comprises hardworking individuals from lower-income backgrounds, striving to make ends meet through construction and support services. Yet, amidst their toil, access to quality healthcare remains a distant dream for many. 

The community grapples with multifaceted challenges, from low health awareness and limited access to affordability issues and accountability concerns. These obstacles create barriers to healthcare, leaving vulnerable populations underserved and at risk. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts to ensure equitable healthcare for all. 

A Catalyst for Change

The CR Foundation Rotary Prolifics Diagnostic Centre aims to change that narrative by offering free or subsidized diagnostic tests and consultations, ensuring that healthcare is no longer a luxury but a fundamental right for all. Spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Hyderabad Deccan and fueled by the generosity of organizations like Prolifics, this center stands as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration. 

Equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic facilities encompassing Pathology, Ultrasound, TMT, ECG, X-ray, and CT Scan, the center leaves no stone unturned in providing thorough medical assessments. Moreover, its polyclinic setup, boasting services such as Physiotherapy, ENT, Dental, and Specialist Consultations, ensures that patients receive holistic care under one roof, eliminating the need for arduous journeys to multiple healthcare facilities. 

Unwavering Commitment to our Communities

In a moment of profound significance, echoing our unwavering commitment to community welfare, Satya Bolli, the Managing Director of Prolifics, stood with pride at the inauguration of the CR Foundation Rotary Prolifics Diagnostic Centre on Sunday, May 5, 2024. Satya remarked, “At Prolifics, we believe that true success is measured not only by financial gains but by the positive impact we create in the lives of others. Our involvement in initiatives like the CR Foundation Rotary Prolifics Diagnostic Centre embodies this ethos, reflecting our unwavering dedication to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and community empowerment.” 

Together, let’s continue to break down barriers, champion inclusivity, and pave the way for a healthier, more vibrant future for all. In addition to our commitment, we’re proud to announce a donation of Rs. 2.5 crores towards this cause. This center embodies the collaborative spirit needed to address the challenges facing the West Zone’s healthcare system, particularly in terms of access, affordability, and awareness. Through initiatives like this, we can work towards ensuring that healthcare becomes a universal right, rather than a privilege afforded only to a fortunate few. 

Note to Readers

Your support and engagement are vital in spreading awareness and fostering positive change in healthcare accessibility. Consider joining us in this endeavor by donating or volunteering your time. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of millions, ensuring that healthcare remains a fundamental right, not a privilege. Thank you for being part of this journey towards a healthier, more equitable society.

Getting the Most from Your Industrial Operators – the Connected Worker

Complex physical workflows

In any complex physical workflow process, such as assembling an engine, maintaining or repairing a machine, or quality inspecting mechanisms or instruments, there are two things happening:

  • The operator is interacting with the complex process in a real, physical environment
  • The operator needs a high level of knowledge of the process and an understanding of the physical environment

Since the process is, in fact, complex, an operator will need additional information to complete the task. This information usually comes in the form of:

  • A manual that’s perhaps hundreds of pages long
  • Just “figuring it out” themselves
  • Asking someone else

Any of these information forms are problematic; they can lead to delays, inefficiencies, mistakes and reworks – costing the process owners time and money.

New technologies and the connected worker

Prolifics has taken new technologies, each powerful in their own right, and combined them into a very evolved, live digital system that connects and integrates the operator with the complex workflow, helping the worker continuously address – in real time – whatever challenges arise. These layers of value are made up of:

  • Augmented/mixed reality wearables – these headsets provide the view into reality with a digital overlay. For example, it could display a schematic of the machine an operator is repairing, or a parts list for the engine the operator is building. Wearables actually increase safety, as the headsets free the operator’s hands from manuals, tablets or other information-providing handhelds.
  • Artificial intelligence (AI) computer vision – is one channel of insight into understanding the physical environment and assisting the operator through it. It interprets the environment using computer vision, and then uses AI to understand what the operator is looking at and pull the right information.
  • Generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) – creates the ability in an application to generate human-like text and have discussions or answer questions in a human-like, conversational way, as well as generate content like images.

Combining these technologies together in effect creates a “live digital assistant,” a form that passes the exactly needed information to the operator, in real time, as the operator works with the complex process. These technologies don’t replace the worker – they greatly enhance the operator’s ability to perform their job.

Scenario

The quality inspection of a machine requires a human/manual component – it requires the deductive logic of human beings. And while your quality inspectors (operators) must adhere to documented specifications, there is always the possibility of subjectivity – any one particular operator may have a different way of interpreting situations or assessing certain defects.

The quality inspection is usually a sequence of steps that the operator needs to perform, and with each step there would be a sequence of activities. The mixed reality system would provide these sequences to the operator, either visually or audibly. The AI computer vision knows at all times what the operator is looking at, and can provide a 3D, holographic arrow to point the operator to the right place. The AI computer vision could also detect defects that the operator either could not see or perhaps missed, and then GPT would provide an analysis with instructional details for a suggested resolution.

The technologies of the connected worker help your operators locate defects better and help them conduct inspections faster and more precisely as a whole. It removes some of the subjectivity, raising the consistency value of all the inspections as well. The connected worker brings greater speed, better precision and higher consistency to this quality inspection.

More on this Prolifics offering – Industrial Metaverse and Connected Worker Experiences

The “Industrial Metaverse” is the deep integration of information, communication, and the real economy. The same is true for the “Connected Worker.” The ultimate goal is to build a new, efficient industrial system, both manufacturing and service, across the whole value chain.

  • Internet of Things (IoT) – IoT represents physical devices connected globally through the internet, all modified with sensors, software, processing abilities, and other tech so they can exchange data among devices and systems.
  • Digital twin – This is the digital representation of an actual physical product, system, or process. The “twin” serves as an exact digital counterpart to run simulations on integration, monitoring, and maintenance.
  • Virtual and augmented reality (mixed reality) – Virtual reality (VR) provides near real experiences in a virtual way, while augmented reality (AR) enhances the real world by superimposing computer-generated information on top of it. Both use specialized headset equipment, though a less immersive experience is available over normal devices.
  • AI computer vision – With equipment or in manufacturing, it provides analytics that can uncover nuanced issues undetectable through traditional quantitative data. This can predict failure earlier and prescribe steps to extend the useful life.

“Clothes in the Cloud” – Fashion Leader Moves Away from On-Prem

About Our Client: An International Retailer

Our long-standing client, an International Retailer (IR), is a global leader in fashion and accessories. Known for its iconic brands, IR has evolved into a lifestyle destination for fashion enthusiasts worldwide.

For Business Leaders

We’re undertaking a new project for IR – “Order Management System (OMS) Regionalization.” Currently, IR’s order management system is centralized, on-premises, in one location. IR wants to move its OMS to various regions in the cloud for, in part, the following reasons: 

  • Minimize service disruptions: Unlike an outage in a centralized system, an outage in one region will not affect other regions 
  • Enhance user experience: Regional cloud computing reduces latency in that area, giving faster processing and improving efficiency for users 
  • Comply with regulations: Many jurisdictions are enacting rules about local transactions being processed in the jurisdiction itself; or local information being only locally stored 
  • Unlock scalability and cost efficiency: The cloud gives more flexibility and cost efficiency for future growth, integrations and applications 

Our integration SMEs are leading this initiative and have created a detailed technical presentation for this project.

Prolifics Looks to “Inspire Inclusion” for IWD 2024

International Women’s Day (IWD) 2024 is Friday, March 8, and is “a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.” IWD marks both the progress made in gender equality and the work that still remains. 

This year’s theme is “Inspire Inclusion” – meaning to celebrate diversity and empowerment not only on IWD, but throughout the year. Per the IWD site: 

“When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, let’s forge a more inclusive world for women.” 

Women in technology has long been a subject of attention and study and is certainly important to a company like Prolifics. Current statistics have women making up about a third of the tech-related workforce; at Prolifics that number is higher, with more than 40 percent. So, staying with the IWD theme of inspiring inclusion, we asked several of the inspiring women here at Prolifics the following: “What advice would you give to a woman who wants to be successful in a tech company?” 

“Learn as much as you can, volunteer to lead activities (no matter how small) and give 200% to everything you do.”  

– Kirsten Craft, Chief Revenue Officer – North America 

 

“If you’re a woman aiming to make your mark in the tech world, here’s a tip: focus on mastering a particular area and become the expert everyone turns to. The tech landscape is always on the move, evolving at lightning speed, so being known for a unique set of skills can truly set you apart. Consider it your personal brand of magic – it not only boosts your value within your current team but also puts you on the radar across the industry. This approach involves a commitment to never stop learning, seizing every opportunity to enhance your abilities, and keeping your finger on the pulse of the latest trends and developments in your specialty.” 

 – Eva Khalil, Competency Lead – Integration & Platforms 

 

“‘Build relationships and stay curious.’ The work that I do is fundamentally about supporting each other. So being able to tap into the relationships I have built is invaluable, especially when facing challenges/obstacles.”  

– Amrith Kaur-Maldonado, Product Support Manager 

 

“Do not let the ever-changing pace of technology intimidate you. As you learn, store your knowledge as, ‘How can this help my employees, my customers, or me?”’ 

Lyn White, Senior Manager – Global Software Sales 

 

Are you looking for a tech company that inspires inclusion? Your path to becoming a Prolifian starts here.
