Tom Edwards, managing director of AI for Ernst & Young LLP, will give a keynote address on the technical and human-resource implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on Nov. 12 at TRSA’s 7th Annual Marketing, Sales & Service Summit in Atlanta. Textile Services Weekly recently interviewed Edwards to give readers a preview on what they can expect from his 8 a.m. presentation.

The inaugural TRSA Marketing, Sales & Service Network Virtual Roundtable is set to take place on Tuesday, Aug. 20, from 1 – 2:30 p.m. EDT. This complimentary event for all TRSA members aims to foster discussions and information sharing among marketing, sales and service professionals about the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the commercial laundry industry.

For years, laundry operators have mounted cameras both in and out of laundry operations in order to enhance security and help ensure compliance with workplace policies. Now, as artificial intelligence (AI) comes to the fore, a Swedish company is taking this idea in a new direction with a camera-based AI system that analyzes safety conditions.
