🎰 Security is paramount in the gaming world—but it shouldn't come at the cost of hospitality. How can venues balance safety with a welcoming atmosphere? 🎰 ☑️ Patrons need to feel both safe and valued. ☑️ Monitoring and managing security should be seamless. ☑️ Solutions should be effective yet unobtrusive. Smart technology can transform this dynamic, offering venues tools to protect without compromising the guest experience. NEC Australia believes in solutions that serve both sides of this equation.👍 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gFw735jm #SecurityInGaming #CustomerExperience #BalancingAct #GamingIndustry #GamingVenues #TechForGood #NECAustralia #NeoFace Clinton Byrne Jason Zhou Mark Chadwick Steven Graham Mike Ashton

As New Zealand prepares to release regulations for its Digital Identity Services Trust Framework (DISTF) and open the accreditation process by year-end, the shift toward a decentralised digital identity system is accelerating. At a recent Digital Identity NZ webinar sponsored by NEC, Steven Graham explained the essential role biometrics will play in ensuring secure, user-controlled digital identities. Biometric and digital identity solutions, like those from NEC, help safeguard personal data while giving users control over what they share.

🚀 Our very own Tithi Roy was a panellist at the PTAANZ Annual Conference yesterday! 🚀 Tithi captivated the audience with her unique take on AI, offering a fresh perspective on how to explain it casually, making a complex topic refreshingly simple: "AI is like teaching machines to learn from human knowledge and experience—making decisions based on data, without ever needing a coffee break!" ☕ She emphasised that while AI excels in processing enormous data sets tirelessly, it lacks emotional understanding and ethical judgment. But, just as humans face fatigue and cognitive limitations, AI’s speed and consistency open new doors. The key takeaway? AI is only as good as the quality of data and algorithms behind it. 💡 Tithi also explored impactful use cases of AI in the transport industry, an area where NEC is actively contributing: • Safety & Security: AI supports solutions for challenges like bus driver shortages through preventive maintenance, incident management, and collision avoidance. • Road Condition Monitoring: Real-time insights to improve road safety and maintenance. • Traffic and Bus Service Optimisation: AI predicts travel times accurately, optimises traffic signals, and reduces wait times and overcrowding. • Automated Inspection & Inventory Management: Streamlining operational efficiency. From intelligent traffic signals in the '90s to autonomous metros in 2024, AI and transportation have evolved hand-in-hand. With initiatives like Sydney’s driverless metro, AI is paving the way for the future. ✨ "The possibilities are endless and limited only by imagination," Tithi said, encouraging us to start small with pilot projects, demonstrate tangible benefits, and then scale up. We are proud of Tithi’s inspiring insights and the role NEC plays in shaping the future of transport. 👏 #PTAANZ #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #TransportationTech #NEC #SmartTransport
