The Transforma Insights Blog

Battery swapping for electric vehicles (EVs) has a long but not particularly distinguished history, but as EVs have gained market share recently, there have been renewed attempts to adopt battery swapping techniques.

Energy storage solutions, connected batteries, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) are useful alternatives to traditional sources of energy and are some of the fastest responding ways to provide additional power capacity.

In an era where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, the integration of disruptive digital technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) into rail transport presents a transformative opportunity. While in the context of sustainable modes of transportation, railway is generally considered more eco-friendly than road or air transport, adding IoT further reduces environmental impact, optimises energy use, and streamlines operations, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction as well. But how exactly can IoT be applied to rail transport? In this blog, we explore the ways IoT enables more sustainable rail transport and why it should be the focus of countries that are trying to expand or optimise their railway infrastructure.

Countries are trying to regulate AI to the best of their capabilities. This short blog is a short summary of how AI regulations have fared in the last two years. Including discussion of headwinds for European AI regulations, generative AI, agentic AI, and selected regulations from around the world.

While the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami is one of the deadliest natural disasters to hit our planet, it definitely isn’t the last one. Times have changed and these days disruptive digital technologies like the Internet of Things have improved public alarm systems as a whole.

According to a survey by Salesforce, generative AI is being used by 73% of the Indian population, 49% of the Australian population, 45% of the US population, and 29% of the UK population. So, what comes next? It’s agentic AI. This blog defines agentic AI, explains how it is different from generative AI, examines current adoption trends, and charts the challenges that may hamper the adoption of agentic AI. Still, there is much more to discover in our recent report: Agentic AI: next generation AI that works autonomously.
