SAS and University Technology Sydney Innovation Lab uses AI to tackle real-world business problems
SAS has a longstanding partnership with UTS which centres around an on-campus Innovation Lab, featuring an industrial-standard, state-of-the-art edge-to-enterprise AI and IoT streaming data processing research platform.
The Lab offers the opportunity to tackle real-world use cases across areas including healthcare, manufacturing and agribusiness. This technology combines with AI and machine learning models to analyse and process real-time data.
What is the Innovation Lab solving?
The SAS x UTS Innovation Lab is tackling a number of real-world use cases such as:
- Leveraging IoT, real-time distributed data and analytics to enable distributed energy resources (DER) trading to enable reduced costs, enhanced profitability and provide a pathway to strengthen national energy security
- Every year, three million seniors are treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries. An AIoT device called DeepCare uses radar streaming data to detect seniors’ activities including falling.
- Using an AI-enabled IoT platform to advance smart lighting technologies
What’s behind initiatives like the SAS x UTS Innovation Lab?
Organisations in Australia are enthusiastically adopting technologies such as AI and capabilities like Generative AI (GenAI), with a recent SAS study finding Australia among the most advanced markets when it comes to maturity and implementation of GenAI technologies.
UTS are front and centre in helping prepare the next generation of data and AI professionals, working with SAS to upskill graduates and create a pathway to connect students with organisations across Australia that have a need for AI skills. A recent study found that 75 percent of Australian organisations are actively searching for candidates with AI skills, underlining the importance of the Innovation Lab partnership.
