With the rise of artificial intelligence solutions, machine learning is also growing rapidly in the world of business. Machine Learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence where algorithms are constantly learning and improving themselves. It’s able to do so by processing huge amounts of data. Just like the human brain, it can learn from observation and make smarter decisions. The more data it has, the smarter it gets. 

Machine learning can help improve your processes and streamline your business in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are 8 ways that your business can benefit from machine learning.

1. Accurate sales forecasts

Machine learning can analyze past customer behavior and make sales predictions based on it. As a business owner, no money goes wasted purchasing unnecessary inventory. They simply fill orders based on the amount forecasted by the machine. 

2. Better sales offers

Studying previous sales data can help machine learning technology to provide better recommendations to business owners. As a result, customers get the right offers at the right time. This means more sales without having to plan or bet on ads.

3. Simplified product marketing

Machine learning takes the guesswork out of marketing. By processing huge amounts of data, it can identify highly relevant variables that businesses may have overlooked. This allows you to create more targeted marketing campaigns that customers are more likely to engage with.

4. Automate time-intensive tasks

Data entry is one of the easier tasks for a business but because it’s so repetitive, it’s more vulnerable to errors. This can be avoided with the help of machine learning which not only processes data fast but also does it accurately. This allows skilled human employees to focus more on meaningful tasks and provide extra value to your organization. 

5. Spam detection

Email providers used to fight spam using rule-based programming. It remained problematic for a while since it did not properly catch all spam emails coming into inboxes. Machine learning today can detect spam more accurately using neural networks to get rid of junk and phishing emails. It does so by constantly identifying new threats and trends across the network. 

6. Smarter workplaces

Machine learning can produce smart assistants which can improve productivity in the workplace. For example, we now have intelligent virtual assistants who can transcribe and schedule meetings. 

7. Maintenance predictions

This is especially important for manufacturing firms where maintenance is completed regularly. failing to maintain equipment in a timely and accurate way can be very costly. With machine learning, factories can gain insights and patterns which might have been overlooked before. This reduces the chances of failure and increases productivity in manufacturing.

8. Real-time decision making

Your business can make more informed decisions with machine learning since it can process massive amounts of data in a short amount of time. All too often, entrepreneurs take weeks or months to create a meaningful marketing plan. Machine learning eliminates the guesswork and provides accurate insights into the business. This allows entrepreneurs to take actionable data and make decisions that can help the business succeed.

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

US industrial production rose 0.7% in September, led by a 3.5% jump in utilities output while factories added only 0.3%. Factory output remains below its 2017 level. Total capacity use hit 76.9%, but manufacturing's 75.9% rate shows slack persists on production lines even as mines run above their long-run norm.

  • 01Manufacturing utilization has held between 75.8% and 76.0% since April, 2.3 points under its long-run norm.
  • 02The November 17 release is the test: a factory operating rate breaking out of its six-month band, or utilities giving back September's 3.5%, would change the read on where capacity is tight.

Rugged computers grow 5.8% a year, slower than the industrial IoT around them

Rugged computers grow 5.8% a year, slower than the industrial IoT around them

IndexBox's new forecast puts rugged computers at $6.8 billion in 2026, growing 5.8% a year to $11.3 billion by 2035. Industrial IoT forecasts run faster. Their growth estimates range from 8.16% to 16.8% a year, which points field-device buyers toward connectivity, software and services as the faster-growing part of the spend.

  • 01Rugged computer forecasts of 5.4% and 5.8% trail the 8.16% to 16.8% projected for industrial IoT, pointing to faster growth in solutions and services than in devices.
  • 02Market-size estimates disagree far more than growth rates do: one firm's 2032 rugged forecast of $5.57 billion is below another's 2026 figure of $6.8 billion, so device budgets can benchmark growth rates and treat total size as background.
  • 03Connectivity, including 5G and satellite links, is moving onto the rugged spec sheet next to durability as demand shifts toward connected, real-time data capture in the field.

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Vecna Robotics' CaseFlow system orchestrates both robots and human workers, emphasizing synchronized scheduling to address case picking inefficiencies. Zone-based dispatch prevents robot congestion, and Robotics 24/7 reported in October 2026 a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS site.

  • 01Vecna reported a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS deployment, Robotics 24/7 wrote in October 2026.
  • 02Vecna says on its site that CaseFlow reads demand from the WMS in real time, which is what turns a robot platform into a case picking workflow.
  • 03Prime Robotics says on its own site that goods-to-person lifts productivity up to six times; Vecna says on its site it delivers two times or more with no fixed infrastructure and deployment in four weeks or less.
