In the six months since its launch the Innovation Office at Fuji Xerox has been working with early adopters on proofs of concept (POCs) of intelligent systems that show how the 'sense', what the company calls data capture, can be better related to 'response', or business benefits.
"Ultimately it is about generating business insights in a timely manner. It is about how do you sense, how do you visualise, and how do you then respond," said Michael Chong, GM, Innovation Office, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific at Fuji Xerox Docuworld in Singapore. "Fuji Xerox can (help you to) find meaning in intelligent systems - to the extent that it is relevant to your business. It should be value that is quantifiable and measurable, like cost savings."
The Open Innovation programme at Fuji Xerox is all about helping companies discover challenges, develop POCs, prove concepts, and deliver value, Chong said. "Innovation is not that far away," he stated.
According to the company, intuitive visualisation can improve operations by enriching the 'response'. One representative POC with a small and medium sized enterprise (SME) doing asset recovery took between one and two months to complete, shared Ng Aik Beng, Marketing Research Site Manager, Fuji Xerox. The SME has since enjoyed increased visibility on the shop floor through the installation of sensors to track shop floor activities, coupled with dashboard visualisations that reflect progress.
Ng stressed that the data from sensors alone do not benefit the company as much as intelligence built into the visualisations, such as selecting words that are impactful, and the right 2D and 3D visualisation methods. "It is more how do we perceive and absorb information in a meaningful manner," he said. "That is the missing piece."
Another visualisation POC partner is in warehousing, and looking at temperature and ambient monitoring of the environment for the storage of pharmaceuticals, Ng disclosed.
Prototypes at the Innovation Centre are very diverse:
One project involves the ShowHow video indexing tool, which allows people recording video to annotate and tag parts of the video while they are recording footage. ShowHow has been used by Temasek Polytechnic for students in the Diploma for Early Childhood Studies course, helping them to assess preschool children, and allowing teachers to zero in on key parts of videos in assignments rather than watching the entire segment.

| A take on the secure office involves setting a time limit on access to sensitive documents. |

| Face and speaker detection proof-of-concept (POC). 3D cameras in the room were able to identify the number of people in the room, which way they were facing, and which people were speaking. The POC has been executed for Japanese retailers, allowing them to detect crowd densities and what shoppers are interested in. |
 |
| Fuji Xerox has also invested in a robotics prototype for remote communication. Instead of static cameras and screens, Fuji Xerox's version of the videoconference allows a participant to control a camera and display on a swivel mount so that he or she can look at different speakers, and at other objects in the room. |

| The tabletop telepresence makes use of a 4K camera to detect and replicate documents in another location. |
