Summary

When we talk about Industry 4.0 adoption, most people tend to think of mechanical industries such as automotive or aerospace, but WHIM recently teamed up with Detroit Denim to prove that Industry 4.0 is for everyone.

Industry 4.0 technologies are reshaping all sectors of business—including the very mature textiles industry. Click below to watch how WHIM, an Innovation Lab and IT service provider, recently worked with Detroit Denim, a custom jeans maker, to help bring the company into the digital age. Through accessibility of data and cloud-based architecture, Detroit Denim was able to adopt a software-first mindset and thereby see the opportunities for streamlining orders and reducing lead time for delivery.

Vibrating Atoms Make Robust Qubits, Physicists Find

by Massachusetts Institute of Technology | innovation

MIT researchers have found a way to store quantum information in the vibrational motion of atom pairs, similar to the swinging motion of two pendula, connected by a spring. The quantum register contains hundreds of pairs of vibrating qubits that researchers can coherently control for over ten seconds. If this works out, it will have a huge impact on quantum computing!
