Bengaluru, India, 18th, May 2023 – HID, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, has introduced its Seos® Bamboo™ credentials made from sustainably sourced bamboo instead of PVC. The credential is part of HID’s award-winning Seos security solution and is the first in a range of physical access security Eco Cards™.

The bamboo is certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council® (FSC®), an assurance that the material comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

Recent market reports, including HID’s State of Security and Identity Report, indicate a majority of organizations rank climate and sustainability as corporate priorities. As a result, they are turning to renewable and eco-friendly materials as much as possible, in addition to reducing energy consumption and waste.

Introducing highly secure access cards made from bamboo—a renewable resource that grows quickly and requires less water and pesticides than traditional card materials—demonstrates HID’s continuous innovation without compromising security and customer experience.

“Our journey to offer alternative options to plastic cards and badges began 10 years ago with the introduction of HID Mobile Access®—a first in the industry,” explains Martin Huddart, Senior VP and Managing Director of Physical Access Control at HID. “Seos Bamboo offers an additional option for sustainability within the physical access ecosystem, as it supports a more eco-friendly value chain in areas where physical access cards are still required.”

Seos Bamboo cards also support organizations seeking green building certifications, including the internationally accepted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM®), and the Zero Waste to Landfill certification.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has disrupted various industries, transforming how businesses run, and how we go about our daily lives. It is almost an irony how an ‘artificial’ product is making inroads into lives so naturally.

AI is utilized in the healthcare sector to analyze patient data and deliver more individualized treatment regimens, improving outcomes and lowering costs. In the financial services industry, the technology has helped automate research and decisions at the back-end systems, and at the consumer end – making the better investment decisions -be it for detecting frauds, or assessing personal exposures & risks. The Manufacturing sector is also benefitting from AI, using it to streamline workflows, cut waste, and improve product quality. AI has also found applications in the retail sector for marketing, customer experience, and inventory management. Additionally, technology is advancing in the fields of education and transportation with the development of self-driving cars and virtual reality technology.

As an emerging piece of tech, AI holds tremendous potential, it can automate and streamline various processes, from customer service to financial research, by utilizing vast amounts of data and advanced algorithms. As a result, companies of all sizes and industries are using AI to increase production, profitability, and efficiency. This has immense potential even in the flourishing Indian stock market where an average investor thrives mainly on technical and fundamental analysis using legacy tools. It is about time that more industries open up and embrace commercial application of AI.

The use of AI by modern firms like SahiBandhu, Escrowpay, Loop Health, Seekho.ai, Zoomcar, Graas, and many more has proven to be hugely advantageous for their business growth –

● AI in Fintech – By streamlining processes, cutting costs, and enhancing client experiences, it is also reshaping the finance industry. Fintech companies use AI algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data, evaluate risk, and make decisions instantly. Fintech companies use AI algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data, evaluate risk, and make decisions instantly.

● AI in Healthcare – Healthcare sector is transforming the way medical professionals diagnose and treat diseases. With the ability to analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, AI can now identify patterns and insights that might be missed by human doctors. This has led to the development of AI-powered diagnostic tools that can provide faster and more accurate diagnoses, reducing the time and cost associated with traditional diagnostic methods. Moreover, nowadays AI is being used to develop personalized treatment plans based on a patient’s individual characteristics and medical history, resulting in more effective treatments and improved patient outcomes

In accordance with this, we understand there are on-going experiments to introduce AI-powered tools in India’s capital markets, and it can be a rather welcoming move for traders to create leverage.
