Contextual Navigation Systems

As industrial systems grow in complexity, intelligence and autonomy, traditional user interfaces no longer support the speed, clarity, or adaptability required for effective human oversight and decision-making. To address this, three advanced interface paradigms are essential: Conversational UIs streamline goal expression through natural language, eliminating the need for manual navigation; Agent User Interfaces (AG-UIs) expose AI agent reasoning, enabling transparent, safe human supervision; and Intelligent Frontends dynamically generate context-aware visualizations and controls tailored to user roles and operational urgency. 1. Conversational UIs (CUIs) replace menu-driven navigation with natural-language intent capture. Powered by large language models and real-time context retrieval, CUIs let operators state goals: “optimize steam header” or “explain last trip event”, and receive precise actions or explanations without digging through screens. This semantic interaction collapses multi-step workflows into a single exchange, cutting cognitive load and training time while making advanced system functions accessible to any role. 2. Agent User Interfaces (AG-UIs) surface the live state of autonomous agents. Instead of raw KPIs, users see an agent’s recommendation, confidence score, decision path, and planned actuator call. Inline controls enable approve, adjust, or override actions, logging feedback to refine future behavior. By exposing reasoning and keeping humans in supervisory control, AG-UIs secure safety, compliance, and trust in environments where errors carry high operational or financial risk. 3. Intelligent Frontends orchestrate CUI and AG-UI elements into an adaptive workspace that reconfigures on the fly for role, urgency, or device. They generate dashboards, 3-D twin overlays, or schedule views exactly when needed, support voice, touch, or visual inputs, and throttle model latency or information density under stress. Acting as the interface tier for both AI Co-Pilot (decision support/augmentation) and AI Auto-Pilot (decision automation), intelligent frontends turn the UI into an active collaborator, cutting decision latency, improving situational awareness, and enabling continuous human-AI collaboration in industrial operations.

VPS leverages the power of computer vision to provide highly accurate location data. Unlike GPS, which relies on satellite signals, VPS uses visual data from a device's camera to compare with a database of images, pinpointing the device's location in real-time. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬: >> Enhanced Accuracy: By utilizing visual landmarks, VPS can achieve greater accuracy, especially in urban environments where GPS signals may be weak or obstructed. >> Contextual Awareness: VPS provides not just location data but also contextual information about the surroundings, helping users understand their environment better. >> Indoor Navigation: Traditional GPS struggles indoors, but VPS can navigate complex indoor spaces like shopping malls, airports, and large office buildings. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected and reliant on precise location data, the limitations of current GPS technology become more apparent.

Question arises as to how often the pre-existing database of images should be updated. 🤔 How do you envision VPS transforming the way we navigate and interact with our environment?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗢𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆𝘀 A lot of retailers think they’ve nailed navigation, but most of what’s out there is still just 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸. Facet navigation is often a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach that makes customers 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸—wading through endless options, filtering, and refining. It’s functional, sure, but it’s not 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵. Some retailers have started to get it and 𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗹𝗲𝗱. But only partially, take ASOS.com quick link strategy as an example for their ‘Tops’ PLP. What they’ve done is surfaced their most in-demand onwards journeys for this PLP, so far so good as that is hell of a lot of Tops. Now if the user was to engage with this navigational array such as the link to "T-shirts & Vests", you land on a page with 𝟮,𝟳𝟵𝟭 product choices in Tops! Great... but also, not great.  Now, you're left 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 again and faced with a standard set of filters sorted alphabetically or by stock levels—none of which actually guide you towards 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁. 👉 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝘅? 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴. Instead of dumping shoppers into a product-listing abyss, retailers should surface the most relevant facets upfront, based on: ✔️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 ✔️ 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 & 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 ✔️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿? 1️⃣ It 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, making products easier to discover and buy. 2️⃣ It 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 (CRO becomes a given). 3️⃣ It 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗘𝗢 - because search engines reward 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹, 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 (that acutally get clicked), not keyword-stuffed footers nobody engages with. (dont get me started) Only a handful of retailers have figured out 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲—those who have, are winning. The rest? They're stuck making customers work too hard. We built 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗜𝘁! because enterprise retailers struggle to implement 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. But when they do? Game changer. Who's getting this right? Who's still making shoppers suffer? Let’s discuss. 🚀
