SINGAPORE, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Rockwell Automation, the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, finds that digital transformation, sustainability initiatives, and customer experience (CX) improvements are among the top priorities driving the development of new corporate supply chain strategies, according to a new study conducted by Forrester Consulting. The study, “Increase Brand Loyalty and Generate ROI with Improved Traceability,” was commissioned by Rockwell Automation to understand the degree to which environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments, external regulatory demands, and brand reputation drive private-sector interest in supply chain traceability solutions. According to the survey, Asia-Pacific companies (62%) are most focused on the digital transformation of their supply chain, and 59% said their company wants to implement or improve sustainability initiatives. While compliance remains a key driver of new investments in supply chain management, demands related to sustainability and customer experience have propelled these strategic shifts. In fact, 57% of supply chain decision makers have already implemented or are expanding initiatives that will reduce waste within their supply chain. Key findings of the survey include:
“This study confirms that enterprises are experiencing how traceability can nurture brand loyalty and optimize their supply chains, as well as mitigate the impact of counterfeits in key markets, among other priorities,” said Matt Fordenwalt, vice president and general manager, systems & solutions, Rockwell Automation. Forrester Consulting’s research on behalf of Rockwell Automation is based on a January 2022 survey of 307 global supply chain decision makers about their use of or interest in traceability and serialization solutions to optimize their supply chain.

Rockwell Automation’s supply chain capabilities combined with Kezzler’s cloud-based traceability technologies help customers connect suppliers, manufacturing, logistics, and consumers into one real-time traceability platform. Rockwell and Kezzler have already created traceability solutions for customers like FrieslandCampina, one of the world’s largest dairy companies.

‘Tareekh Pe Tareekh’, an episodic series on a new social media platform Khul Ke takes a detailed look at the clogged state of the Indian judiciary,,
Khul Ke, India’s homegrown social media platform launched by Loktantra Mediatech Pvt. Ltd. The platform brings forth powerful voices from across the country to share their thoughts on relevant issues and topics impacting the nation or share stories of their remarkable personal achievements in the face of adversity.
The legal maxim “Justice delayed is justice denied” can be completely related to the present scenario of our country. According to the reports presently there are 4.7 crores pending cases in India.
A court is a place where a person no matter which caste or religion is assured of getting justice.
During the RoundTable hosted on a new social media and conversations platform Khul Ke, for the episodic series Tareekh Pe Tareekh, Pradeep Rai, Senior Advocate & Vice President, Supreme Court Bar Association, said that “Mai yeh manta hu ki humara jo system hain ussme bohat sari khamiyaan hai, aur yeh khamiyaan isliye hai, humne copy ki UK ke system ko, wahan pe unki abadhi kum hai, unka revenue system bohot zyada hai.”
Pradeep Rai further spoke about the importance of court recordings being accessible to the common man on popular social media platforms. He said, “Lekin mai phir bhi yeh kehta hu ki jaha kahi ke bhi bar ho aap ki jo dayeek prakriya hai ki puri ki puri recorded honi chahiye, isko YouTube pe dala jaana chahiye.”
Indian Judiciary is always known for its right and fair judgment. But what if the person has to wait for a longer period just to attain justice? Will that delayed judgment make any remarkable change in the life of the victim?
In this context, Justice S. N. Dhingra, Former Judge, Delhi High Court said that “Sabse badi baat yeah hain ki judge ko jo gareeb aadmi hai usski kathinaye pata nahi aur isiliye log apna mukhadma beech mai chod ke jaarahe hain.”
S.N Dhingra, renowned for his landmark judgements on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Robert Vadra land deal case, further added, “Humara pura system jo hai, jisme yeh ho raha hai ki aam aadmi ko nyay nahi mil pa raha, uski sabse badi zimmdari judgeo ke upar hi hai. Judge jo hai aapne court ka master hota hai, agar who court theek nahi chalata tho uske liye doshi aap kisko man sakte hai?”
N Dhingra added, “Tareekh delay hone ka bohot bada kaaran yeh hai ki aaj humare adaalate vakeel run kar rahe hain.”
As we know, the Indian judiciary stands as an ideal pillar for people not only for the enforcement of laws but also for providing justice to each victim. After 75 years of independence, can India truly count on the judicial system to work on reasonable timelines?
Marengo CIMS Hospital deeply acknowledges the exemplary courage of a family that opted to donate organs of their deceased family member to save four lives and restore sight in one
- Five organs were harvested and donated to multiple hospitals to save several lives
- Faith in humanity was restored by the family in showing immense courage and strength in donating the organs
- Marengo CIMS Hospital expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the family who opted for the noble act of organ donation
In an exemplary heroic and humanitarian act of nobility, a family which lost a young member to brain stroke decided to donate his organs to save several lives. Jayeshbhai Patel aged 35 years, was a factory worker. While working he collapsed and moving through various hospitals, the patient was brought to Marengo CIMS hospital where he was declared “Brain-dead”.
The family rose above their grief and sorrow to embrace humanity and donate the deceased family member’s organs to save four lives and restore the sight of one. One kidney, two lungs, two corneas and one liver were retrieved. Post the retrieval process, the organs were reached to patients over four states. This was a show of immense courage and strength by the family to restore faith in humanity. At Marengo Asia Healthcare, we believe every minute counts, every life matters. The importance of timely decisions taken in organ donation is paramount in contributing significantly to saving lives.
With Marengo CIMS Hospital armed with multiple organ transplant programs such as heart, lungs, kidney, and liver, the hospital is fast emerging as a preferred destination for organ transplants in India.
Dr Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, MD & CEO, Marengo Asia Healthcare said, “Marengo Asia Healthcare expresses our heartfelt gratitude to the patient’s family who went beyond their intense grief to think of several other patients whose lives could be saved by their act of organ donation. Our gratitude to many more such families who overcome their sorrow to save many lives by donating organs of their deceased family member. Many patients die every year due to lack of organ donation. Organ donation can save 500,000 lives in India each year. When families come forward with such humanitarian act, the fact that organ donation is picking up is reiterated. We encourage people to become a part of such humanitarian acts that can save thousands of lives every year.”
The patient’s family said, “We realized the enormity of the number of lives that could be saved with this simple act of organ donation. We are encouraged by the fact that Jayeshbhai Patel will live through the people who have received his organs.”
With increased organ donation we can save more and more lives. India happens to be one of the top countries in organ transplant in the world and yet, we lag our western counterparts. In India, a huge disparity between demand of organs for saving lives and the organs donated is witnessed consistently. The increasing numbers in organ donation in India is just about picking up, the awareness having been low and other reasons working as deterrents being religious beliefs, spiritual beliefs, and a negative mindset towards organ donation. The recent increase has been an outcome of increased awareness on the noble act.
