Locomation:

The future is autonomous and Locomation has what it takes to achieve it. It is deploying Autonomous Relay Convoying (ARC) technology into the industry that needs it most—trucking. With Locomation’s ARC technology fully operating one truck and simultaneously assisting another, the labor cost is reduced up to 50% while the amount of moving freight remains the same. Locomation’s unique ability to swap leader and follower trucks mid-drive ensures the leading truck is always operated by a rested and qualified driver, ultimately enabling longer distances traversable in a single shot.

Allegheny Health Network Autoimmunity Institute

With four Centers of Excellence and physicians from 15 different specialties, the Autoimmunity Institute improves people’s lives through precise diagnosis, effective treatment and research toward a cure for autoimmune diseases. Dr. Susan Manzi, Chair, AHN Medicine Institute and Director, Lupus Center of Excellence, talks more about autoimmune diseases, their impact on people’s lives and the unique resources found only at the AHN Autoimmunity Institute, the first facility of its kind in the world.
