Dell Tech Inc (DELL) Positioned for Earnings Upside: Evercore ISI Highlights AI and ISG Strength
New Delhi: Manufacturing companies are likely to ramp up investments into technology integration to 11-15% of their overall budget in the next two years, compared with the existing 10%, a report by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) showed. These increased investments are likely go into IoT (Internet of Things), robotics and Big Data, the report titled ‘Smart Manufacturing: Unlocking India’s Potential' said. This could be important as the share of the manufacturing sector in the gross domestic profit (GDP) has remained flat at about 13-17% over the last few years, even as services leads growth in India's economic output. Capital-intensive industries like semiconductors, aerospace, and automotive are leading the charge in adopting these technologies, the report said, while traditional industries like textiles and food processing are gradually transitioning towards digitization. Manufacturing employed about 18.4 million people in FY23 as per Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) data released in September this year, about 7.5% higher than the 17.2 million in FY22.

IT connectivity integration About 20% of the surveyed firms have little or no IT connectivity integration in place, the report noted. "Only 30% of companies with very well integrated IT systems benefit from seamless connectivity between subsystems, enabling real-time data analysis and supporting agile decision-making. This suggests that there is significant room for improvement, especially for the 20% with limited or no integration," said the CII report. CII noted from its extensive surveys across the Indian manufacturing sector that most Indian firms are committed to digitization and technology adoption, at a time when the adoption of automation tools and artificial intelligence (AI) is rising across the globe. While many companies, particularly in sectors such as capital goods, chemicals, electronics, and steel are committed to investing in technology and going digital, CII observed variance across these sectors. For instance, in the electronics sector, many companies have well-defined strategies with a high commitment to technology integration, while in the automobile sector, there is more variation - ranging from companies with no strategy at all to companies with extremely committed and clear strategies, CII said in the report. This is due to the differing business sizes and market segments observed in the automobile sector, the CII report said. Also read: Time is running out to revive India’s manufacturing sector The capital goods sector is bolstering its technology inclusion, with many companies either having a clear roadmap towards technology investments, or companies being in the process of developing such investment plans. "Larger companies are likely leading the charge, but smaller ones are catching up," the CII report said. The report said that challenges within the manufacturing sector such as high costs, unclear returns on investment, and the integration of legacy systems persist, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, the report underscores the urgent need for workforce upskilling to bridge the skills gap and enable seamless adoption of advanced technologies. CII recommended in the report the formation more public-private partnerships to establish shared technology hubs, the strengthening of industry-academia collaboration, and implementation of supportive policies to encourage broader adoption of smart manufacturing along with a push for increasing budget allocations for technology.Harris shot 6 of 9 from the field and 3 of 5 from the free-throw line for the Spartans (4-8).

There has been a trend on social media for making fluffy popcorn. Fluffy popcorn is made by first melting butter and marshmallows together. Then add boxed cake mix, especially those with sprinkles or colorings, that are stirred in with the melted butter and marshmallow mixture. Lastly, they add popped popcorn and coat the mixture. The final product is a colorful popcorn treat. The idea of making and selling fluffy popcorn as a cottage food product to sell or to make and give as holiday gifts is very enticing. However, is it safe? Flour, including flour in boxed cake mixes, is a raw product. Grains have been milled and processed into flours for baking and cooking. The grains used to make the flour are exposed to microorganisms that are naturally present in the soil and environment. During the processing, these flours are not treated to kill any of these microorganisms. Packaged flour and boxed mixes, like cakes, cookies and pancakes, will contain a food safety advisory statement on their packaging. The statement may be worded differently depending on the brand, but in general, it communicates to buyers that the flour is raw and should be fully cooked before eating. The microorganisms most frequently linked to foodborne illness outbreaks from eating raw flour are Salmonella and E. coli. There have been many out breaks linked to raw flour in recent years. In each of the outbreaks, people were hospitalized with severe symptoms. You may have heard of recommendations to heat raw flour or mixes in the oven or microwave before combining it with other ingredients to make it safe to eat without baking or cooking. This is not safe or recommended. Many of the microorganisms resistant to heat impact when moisture is low. The process of making fluffy popcorn does not sufficiently cook the raw flour, and the final product may contain harmful microorganisms that can cause food borne illness. When raw flour is combined with other ingredients that add moisture to the mix, and then the mixture is thoroughly baked or cooked, the microorganisms can be killed. Baked good reach an internal temperature of 180 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit during cooking which is enough to kill E. coli and Salmonella. If you want to make and sell or give a festive popcorn treat, here are some tips to make it safe. Avoid bare-hand contact. Popcorn is a ready-to-eat food which means you should wear single-use disposable gloves or utensils when mixing and packing. Skip the cake mix. Use sprinkles, candies or food coloring to season popcorn. Popcorn balls are allowable food cottage food products to sell. Source: University of Minnesota Extension.

Southampton 'keeper Aaron Ramsdale had run the length of the field to check on Fabianski amid worrying scenes. Fabianski was then greeted by applause as he was taken off with an oxygen mask on, but did not need to go to the hospital. “He had one big knock around the head, around the neck and he was not very sure about his actions. Fortunately the news is he is talking, he is alert, he is conscious,” Lopetegui said. “I talk with him. The doctors say that he feels better and well. I am positive with him. He showed he more or less recovered his sense. I am not afraid. We feared but now he is better and it is a positive feeling because we were very worried.” West Ham, which also saw defender Max Kilman go off in the first half, scored through Jarrod Bowen in the 59th. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?
