Airspace Partners with Leading Semiconductor Providers to Alleviate Supply Chain Issues in APAC

The Semiconductor supply chain is incredibly complicated, with hundreds of suppliers contributing to the end-product. Handling these packages requires the utmost sensitivity as they need to be transported along the fastest and safest route possible. Slower routes can cause shipping delays leading to downtime for manufacturing plants which can cost semiconductor companies upwards of $1 million per hour. Coordinating each cross-border delivery is a delicate balance between speed, safety, accuracy, and emissions efficiency. Logistics providers must evaluate the optimal path for a package amongst the trillions of different routing combinations as different origin, cargo facility, airline, layover, and destination combinations each have their own nuances that can lead to different risks and costs. In addition, a lack of transparency can be an open invitation to thieves who take packages in transit with shippers none-the-wiser until the incomplete package arrives at its destination.

Airspace’s Global Managing Director Brandon Kennedy understands this struggle. “Logistics for the semiconductor industry has undergone tremendous change these past few years. Shippers require intelligent and tailored solutions to meet their specific needs now more than ever. The costs and repercussions of lost packages or delays can be crippling, and the emerging logistics providers understand that success comes from a deep understanding of the nuances and pain points unique to those shippers. A successful solution must go beyond just speed and service excellence and offer transparency and accountability to address the industry’s nuanced pain points.”

Within this high-stakes world of constraints, routing options, and risks, Airspace has emerged as a real solution for semiconductor and other high-tech shippers. Airspaces uses AI to evaluate trillions of potential routing options instantly to identify the perfect combination of drivers, airlines, airports, etc. to optimize the delivery of packages that matter. Airspace’s technology can identify routes that are less likely to be delayed, have fewer lost packages, have the lowest cost or carbon footprint, etc. Once that route is selected, Airspace then leverages AI-powered predictions around arrival time at different stages of the delivery coupled with real-time monitoring of data flows to automatically identify potential risks that materialize en-route and make real-time adjustments.  This allows shippers to get their packages faster, ensure those deliveries are safer, and better plan for their arrival.

Airspace, a leader in critical logistics in North America and Europe, recently expanded its strategic focus into Southeast Asia to tackle these pain points in the semiconductor industry. Global leading semiconductor providers including Qualcomm Technologies’ RF360 group utilize Airspace’s proprietary technology to optimize mission-critical and highly complex transpacific shipments of semiconductor components. In just two short years, Airspace has expanded its reach to now serve one-third of the top 25 largest semiconductor companies worldwide and has become the fastest-growing critical logistics provider in the sector.

“Airspace has consistently provided great service and flexibility when executing our time-critical shipments worldwide,” said Michael Fleischmann, Senior Director, Sourcing at RF360 Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. We use Airspace for shipments from EMEA to Asia, from Asia to Europe and within both Asia & Europe.  The Airspace platform provides full transparency and visibility into our shipments, a critical aspect in our industry that requires the highest discipline in on-time-deliveries.”

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As the IRS announces a standard mileage rate of 70 cents per mile for 2025, gig economy expert Ed Ryder, who has completed over 10,000 deliveries with his own car using major food delivery platforms, urges fellow gig workers to reconsider their mileage tracking methods. While acknowledging the convenience of digital solutions, Ryder advocates for a return to secure, paper-based tracking to protect valuable mileage deductions.

With the mileage rate at 70 cents, accurate tracking is crucial for gig workers and small business owners. Mileage apps seem convenient, but they risk data loss from outages, glitches, and cyber attacks. Many overlook these significant dangers.

“With the mileage rate increasing to 70 cents, accurate tracking is more crucial than ever for gig workers and small business owners,” says Ryder, creator of The Big Mileage Form. “While mileage tracking apps seem convenient, they come with significant risks that many overlook. Network outages, app glitches, and cyber attacks can jeopardize months of data.”

Ryder points to the July 2024 global IT outage as a prime example of technology’s vulnerabilities. “A faulty software update caused mass airline disruptions and impacted other industries, catching major corporations off guard. This incident highlights that even in our digital age, software isn’t infallible. For me, I simply won’t trust mileage tracking apps with my most important tax deduction.”

To address these concerns, Ryder developed a comprehensive, paper-based solution. “I spent two years perfecting The Big Mileage Form, tailoring it to the specific needs of food delivery gig workers,” he explains. “At 11×17 inches, it provides ample space for detailed record-keeping and, crucially, it’s immune to software glitches, data breaches, and ransomware attacks.”

Ryder’s meticulous paper-based record-keeping resulted in a mileage deduction exceeding $19,000 on his 2023 federal taxes. “All my business-related miles are thoroughly documented on paper. I’m fully prepared to defend this deduction in case of an audit. This level of confidence is what I aim to provide other gig workers.”

“In today’s digital age, sometimes the most secure solution is the simplest one,” Ryder concludes. “My form not only ensures data security but also prepares users for potential IRS audits. It’s time to reconsider the old-fashioned, but reliable pen-and-paper method.”

For those interested in learning more about effective mileage tracking and other aspects of gig work, Ryder offers valuable resources on GigCoach.net. These include a tutorial for consumers titled ‘Fair Deal Delivery,’ which provides insights on how to improve food delivery outcomes.

As urbanization accelerates and environmental dynamics shift, the need for accurate and timely terrestrial monitoring has never been more urgent. A review has introduced a novel approach to remote sensing time series analysis, integrating multi-source data to enable near real-time monitoring. This innovative methodology promises to transform environmental conservation and urban planning by providing unprecedented insights into terrestrial changes and offering a more precise understanding of environmental dynamics.

GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — An international team of researchers from South China Normal University, the University of Connecticut, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made a significant breakthrough in remote sensing. Their review, published (DOI: 10.34133/remotesensing.0285) in the Journal of Remote Sensing on December 11, 2024, addresses key challenges in remote sensing, such as incomplete data and noise interference. The team’s new time series analysis technique leverages advanced data reconstruction and fusion methods, significantly enhancing the precision and efficiency of remote sensing for monitoring environmental changes.

The research team has developed an advanced time series analysis technique that combines deep learning algorithms with traditional remote sensing methods to integrate data from various remote sensing sources. This innovative approach allows for the extraction of subtle patterns from large, complex datasets, which is crucial for monitoring critical environmental parameters such as land use and vegetation health. Unlike conventional techniques that struggle with incomplete or noisy data, this new methodology offers enhanced accuracy and more reliable insights into terrestrial dynamics, paving the way for more effective environmental monitoring.

Central to the study’s success is the integration of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to address the challenges posed by missing or noisy data. The LSTM networks capture temporal trends over time, while the GANs generate synthetic data that mimics real-world observations to fill gaps and correct for atmospheric distortions. This dual approach has resulted in a cleaner, more accurate time series dataset, which was validated against independent ground truth measurements. The researchers demonstrated significant improvements in key vegetation indices, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), setting a new benchmark in the field of remote sensing.

Experts in the field have lauded the study’s potential to revolutionize remote sensing applications. They see the method as a transformative tool for enhancing high-resolution monitoring and extending its coverage, particularly in agricultural surveillance, urban planning, and environmental management. “This method represents a crucial advancement in our ability to monitor environmental changes,” says Professor Fu. “As it evolves, it could play a key role in addressing climate change and other global challenges.”

The methodology’s future applications are vast, especially in global environmental monitoring and supporting sustainable development goals. By integrating multi-temporal data from Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellites, the team has created a framework for accurate and continuous terrestrial analysis. As computational power advances and algorithms improve, this technology is expected to become a vital tool for natural resource management, disaster response, and climate change mitigation. In the years to come, it could provide critical data to help policymakers address pressing environmental issues on a global scale.
