The UK’s manufacturers have reported strong growth in orders both at home and from abroad over the first quarter of 2017, although costs and prices have also continued to rise at an elevated pace, according to the latest quarterly CBI Industrial Trends Survey. The survey of 397 manufacturers found that domestic orders had improved at the fastest pace since July 2014 in the three months to April. Meanwhile export orders recorded the strongest growth in six years, supported by strong rises in competitiveness, particularly in non-EU markets which improved at a record pace. The weak pound continued to push up costs, with manufacturers reporting the strongest rises in unit costs in six years. Output growth firmed to a three-year high and is expected to accelerate over the next quarter. Manufacturers’ anticipate that new orders will grow more moderately over the near-term, largely owing to a predicted slowdown in domestic demand outweighing export orders growth – expectations for the latter are at their strongest in over two decades. Companies are also upbeat in their year-ahead expectations for exports, with optimism posting the biggest gain in over four decades, contrasting with their assessment about the overall business situation which was unchanged. There was a softening in investment plans across the board, particularly those for buildings and plant & machinery, with the latter at its most negative for nearly six years. When queried about potential limits on capital spending over the next year, the proportion of firms citing inadequate net returns climbed to the highest in a decade. Headcount saw decent growth, but hiring intentions for the next three months are muted. This survey was conducted prior to the announcement of a General Election. Rain Newton-Smith, CBI Chief Economist, said: “UK manufacturers are enjoying strong growth in demand from customers in the UK and overseas, and continue to ramp up production. “Exports have surged and firms are at their most optimistic about selling overseas in over four decades. Even so, the combination of the weak pound and recovering commodity prices means that cost pressures continue to build, and manufacturers report no sign of them abating over the near-term.” Key findings:

The post UK manufactured goods in demand with strong domestic and export performance – CBI appeared first on Statii News. from http://news.statii.co.uk/uk-manufactured-goods-in-demand-with-strong-domestic-and-export-performance-cbi/ Cyberbit, the wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems, has announced a new version of its adaptive Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform, which now provides advanced and semi-automated threat hunting, centralised response capabilities, and an improved Software Developer Kit (SDK) for detection customisation. Originally developed to meet requirements of high-risk organisations, Cyberbit’s new EDR enhancements help customers decrease threat detection and response times while minimising false positives, drastically improving cyberattack countermeasures and cutting distractions for security teams. Cyberattacks continue to shift tactics, with hackers launching fileless malware that is undetectable by ransomware safeguards, antivirus and other traditional endpoint protection platforms. Cyberbit EDR’s approach detects a broad range of attacks without relying on indicators of compromise (IOCs), including signature-less, fileless and targeted attacks as well as ransomware. The adaptive approach automatically tailors a behavioural detection policy to the customer’s organisation, which ensures the highest levels of accuracy based on each environment. “Cyberbit provides one of the most effective solutions for detecting unknown, signature-less and targeted threats, including fileless attacks and ransomware, by using machine learning and behavioral analytics, enabling quick identification of root cause and response,” said Danielle VanZandt, research analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Cyberbit’s approach proved to provide its customers with substantially higher detection and response capabilities, while keeping low false positive ratios. As a result, security teams can focus on high priority alerts and are not distracted and overloaded with false alarms.” The new release includes the following key features: Analyst in a Box: Analysts often work with fragments of the attack story; using their knowledge and experience, they seek traces of attacks buried in data. Cyberbit’s EDR platform assists analysts by automating much of the hunting process, leveraging behavioral analytics and machine learning, which serves as an “analyst in a box,” speeding up threat identification and often saving weeks of investigative effort. SDK and customization: Advanced customers can add proprietary detection algorithms to address their unique security requirements. They can also access the EDR’s big-data repository using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and use their own functions and tools to proactively investigate and hunt threats. Centralized response capabilities: well suited for large, dispersed organizations, security managers can access any endpoint in the organization from a central location and rapidly investigate and respond to an incident, which eliminates the need to be physically present at the compromised endpoint. Adi Dar, CEO of Cyberbit, said, “It takes only one fileless or signature-less attack to bring down an organization; however, these attacks are invisible to endpoint security systems. Customers now understand that this is where they need to focus. Our EDR is gaining traction as one of the most reliable means to protect against advanced attacks, and this new release helps customers stay ahead of new threats and save time with next-generation SOC technology.” Cyberbit was recently named by CRN magazine one of 20 coolest endpoint security vendors for 2017. Cyberbit EDR is the winner of the Frost and Sullivan Technology Leadership Award for Cybersecurity Detection and Response, and the winner of the Network World Asia Reader’s Choice Rising Star award for endpoint security. Cyberbit recently announced a contract with Infor to provide its EDR platform.

Privacy & Cookies Policy The post Infor acquires cloud-native BI appeared first on Statii News. from http://news.statii.co.uk/infor-acquires-cloud-native-bi/ InfinityQS International, Inc. (InfinityQS), the global authority on data-driven enterprise quality, has launched Enact, a native-cloud Quality Intelligence platform that is claimed to revolutionise the role of quality, cutting through the clutter of data to deliver tailored, strategic operational insights necessary to improve competitive position and financial viability. According to InfinityQS, the platform gives manufacturers the power to enact a global transformation of their processes and product quality, and creates a gateway for them to embrace Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). “Today, access to information is the expectation in every role in manufacturing,” said Michael Lyle, President and CEO, InfinityQS. “But the sheer volume of data can be overwhelming. By creating a new way of collecting, analysing, and summarising data, and delivering actionable intelligence, Enact propels businesses to a level of quality knowledge that produces real business results, fast.” Enact helps users intuitively process critical quality data that today’s modern manufacturing operations require. Advances in mobile and cloud computing, automation, and the IIoT enable Enact to aggregate data from disparate sources and input methods, uncover strategic information, and prioritise enterprise-wide quality activities. Manufacturers finally have the ability to see the “big picture” view of quality across all of their plants, production lines, products, and shifts. Lyle continued, “There are three fundamental drivers of the factory of the future: upstream and downstream system integration, centralised data from across the enterprise, and powerful analytics that can be used to transform operations. This is exactly what Enact provides. Enact rewrites expectations of quality intelligence for manufacturers and helps them see the entire enterprise—information that has never before been available. This insight instigates change and can be used to drive global business transformations, readying the organisation to embrace Industry 4.0, generate sustainable cost savings, and ensure long-term business success.” The Enact Quality Intelligence platform is a native-cloud product that helps managers and quality professionals easily view critical quality information across all regions and plants while using any computing device – even a mobile phone. This visibility helps highlight how processes are running, where problems exist, and where quality resources should be engaged to generate the greatest economic benefit for the organisation. In addition to providing visibility across all plants, Enact triggers real-time alarms on the shop floor and identifies opportunities for improvement that reduce costs, increase profitability, improve quality, enhance competitive position, and protect brand equity. The post InfinityQS launches Enact – 'the future of manufacturing quality' appeared first on Statii News. from http://news.statii.co.uk/infinityqs-launches-enact-the-future-of-manufacturing-quality/ GE Digital has debuted the newest version of its comprehensive Asset Performance Management (APM) solution, an offering that combines the GE Digital APM portfolio with the solution offered by Meridium, acquired by GE in September 2016. This combined solution gives asset-intensive organizations visibility anytime, anywhere, into their assets’ status and health across the entire enterprise, arming them with powerful analytics to help avoid unplanned downtime. GE will showcase this Predix-powered offering next week at Germany’s Hannover Messe 2017. Asset-intensive companies strive to reduce operating risk and improve reliability at the lowest sustainable cost by predicting and preventing asset failures. In addition, organizations must enable compliance with ever-expanding regulatory requirements, protect the health and safety of their workers, and provide the tools to make them more productive. The new GE Digital APM suite, the most comprehensive in the industry, helps solves these challenges by covering the full spectrum of APM services from risk assessment and asset strategy development through condition-based maintenance (CBM), predictive maintenance, reliability centered maintenance, root cause analysis, and inspection and compliance management. The suite also facilitates the development of asset strategies that maximize reliability and availability, minimize risk and cost, and dramatically reduce unplanned downtime by predicting equipment issues before they occur. “APM is all about visibility to equipment health and optimization of maintenance with a goal of reducing the long-term cost of ownership, safety to workers and the environment, and minimizing disruptions to operations,” said Eddie Amos, General Manager of GE Digital’s Asset Performance Management software group. “GE’s APM solutions help companies increase asset reliability and availability while reducing cost and risk in operations. And we’ve tested our APM capabilities on our own equipment in our customers’ plants. Because GE is an OEM, we monitor more than $1 trillion in assets. We know what it takes to monitor real industrial equipment and will continue to invest in APM solutions that work for us and work for industry.” While outcomes vary by customer type, GE’s APM offering helps equipment operators optimize asset performance to increase reliability and availability, minimize costs and reduce operational risks, and decrease spend on unnecessary and unplanned maintenance. Additionally, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have the capability to reduce asset lifetime cost and increase profit streams from asset service by expanding monitoring and maintenance capabilities to their end customer. This capability helps OEMs increase service revenue and reduce asset lifecycle costs, including R&D, warranty and services. GE customers are already seeing positive outcomes using the APM offering. These results come from GE’s control-to-cloud coverage and remote monitoring and diagnostics capability. These software models analyze and simulate real-world conditions to predict how equipment or a process will behave in order to more effectively manage cost and risk. Future integrations with the recently acquired ServiceMax will help industrial customers act on intelligence from the APM solutions and deploy services appropriately. With predictive capabilities, the OEM can quickly respond to parts and service needs as well as provide timely, critical remote support, which decreases the costs associated with on-site engineering visits. GE’s APM solution also makes it easy to collect, organize, and analyze equipment health information from customer equipment to predict equipment issues and mitigate them before they happen – increasing customer satisfaction (and service contract renewal rates), while lowering warranty and service costs. This technology helps OEMs address issues while they are small and easy to fix – and makes them better prepared for the likely issues before deploying resources on a service call (i.e. the right parts for repairs on the first visit rather than requiring a follow-up visit), decreasing cost to service. The solution also delivers near real-time equipment health and usage insights to accelerate the product development cycle. The GE Digital APM suite consists of the following solutions:
