April 20, 2022: -Audi has recently added “lounge on wheels” to its recent portfolio of electric concept vehicles designed to portray the vision of German automakers for the future of transportation in automobiles.
The company’s recent “Urbansphere” concept was designed for travelers in rich, dense traffic areas like China as a third living space and mobile office.
The vehicle is created to be capable of driving itself in most situations
like Audi’s previous “sphere” concepts. The latest vehicle is taller than the other concepts, blurring the line between a large crossover and minivan, or “multipurpose vehicle,” which creates more space and is popular in China.
“Designers and engineers created the Audi Urbansphere for use in traffic-dense Chinese megacities, although the concept is suitable for any other metropolitan city globally,” Audi said in a release. “In these urban areas, where personal space is in short supply, in particular, the concept car offers the largest interior space of any Audi to date.”
The Urbansphere’s interior continues trends from Audi’s different concepts. It features a modern design with wood and technologically advanced features like a stowaway steering wheel and a large video display across the front instrument panel of the vehicle’s interior.
According to Audi, the term “sphere” is meant to symbolize the interior space of the vehicles for drivers and passengers.
Automakers use concept vehicles to gauge customer interest or show the future direction of a car or brand. The cars are not meant to be sold to consumers.
We provide the insights on leaders who are responsible for taking their organization to new heights, all the while bringing together a group of talented individuals.
In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
By late 202, the alarm bells were just starting to ring. Researchers discovered that Russian spies had months earlier burrowed deep into the networks of several U.S. federal networks. The spies, working for Russia’s foreign intelligence service, had first targeted SolarWinds, an IT company whose software helps to remotely manage the networks of thousands of businesses, Fortune 500 organizations and federal government agencies.
