IoT and AI innovate construction and mining

The use of IoT and AI has already transformed many industries, with the combination of connectivity, big data, machine learning and increased processing power from GPUs making its mark in healthcare, manufacturing and government. At Nvidia Corp.'s recent GPU Technology Conference in Japan, we got to see how these technologies are on the verge of disrupting the construction and mining vertical. At the event, Nvidia announced a partnership with Japan's Komatsu Ltd., one of the world's largest makers of construction and mining equipment. Nvidia GPUs will be embedded into heavy machinery to help the industry improve safety and increase productivity.
