Nowadays, AI is all around us. Google exemplifies this by utilizing Machine Learning within Gmail to filter spam messages. Netflix and Amazon also utilize Deep Learning to predict your next movie or purchase. You might be hearing these terms appear more frequently and it would make sense due to the advent of rapid Big Data and analytics growth in the industrial and business workforce.
Alright. You’ve hear these buzzwords consistently enough to peak your interest – but what is the real meaning of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
John McCarthy first coined the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ in 1956 but AI has turned out to be more famous today due to advance algorithms and enhancements in computing power and capacity. The definition of AI can be broad – it can be used for development, understanding languages, recognizing items and sounds, learning, and even problem solving.

While Hollywood pictures and sci-fi books have long represented AI as maniacal robots, modern advancements in AI technologies aren’t frightening. Rather, the development of AI can now give numerous advantages to any industry (retail, health care, and more).
Machine Learning (ML)
Machine Learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence and is a rising development in the field of AI: empowering picture recognition, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and other transformative elements.
Machine learning can be used for operations such as risk analysis, fraud prevention and enlightening medical science. Furthermore, Machine Learning can help shoppers and by use of navigation (Siri, Alexa, etc.) – amongst countless other real-world ML applications.
Deep Learning
Deep Learning is another subfield of machine learning and is inspired by the structure and function of the brain, specifically Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs).
According to “Andrew Ng”
“for most flavors of the old generations of learning algorithms … performance will plateau. … deep learning … is the first class of algorithms … that is scalable. … performance just keeps getting better as you feed them more data.”

Client Says
We are implementing Plasma Ag Solutions across our network of locations. Plasma Ag provides several capabilities that stand out for our users such as Programs, Rebate management, and Inventory tracking. It is quite difficult to track margin information on crop protection products in our industry so our Owner Operators love the transparency the system provides. We utilize the system to professionalize our support to the network and it has become a bit success with all of them.
Several hundreds of our retail locations and joint ventures use Plasma Ag solutions as a part of their core operations. Plasma solutions provide very useful tools and deep insights to users – including tracking customer transactions and financial information. Their applications are tightly integrated with CRM, ERP, Accounting, and our other mission critical IT infrastructure and third-party systems. The dashboards provide rich analysis and insights that helps us adjust to the changing markets.
Plasma Ag solutions have been a tremendous asset to our operations. They offer powerful capabilities such as managing Retail programs, Products, Programs, local discounts, and wraps. Ability to track inventory at physical locations, calculating true and average costs, rebates and accruals on user-friendly and simple interfaces has helped us and our retail customers adopt Plasma Ag solutions quickly.
Our software, system and processes used to be an old struggling engine. Plasma team solved all that. With exceptional training and planning, their consultative executive team down to their support team executed the deployment with first-class speed and professionalism. Their platform not only removed all the pain points in my division, but also created a ripple effect benefiting my entire company.
It has been my experience that Plasma has the technical expertise, commitment, and work-ethic to deliver best-in-class solutions that allow business owners to fully realize business strategies and objectives. They work in a highly professional manner to ensure that the clients’ requirements and recommendations are fully realized. I would highly recommend Plasma for any web enablement initiative that you may be considering.
Plasma has been a smart choice for us as our online business partner. I don’t even consider our work with them outsourcing because Plasma management takes the time to truly understand our business and is able to direct its technology resources for the most efficient and quality output possible. I don’t think you can say that about many companies in their space.
Plasma has been a smart choice for us with our online requirements. I would recommend them to any company looking to better manage their online presence.
It has been my pleasure to work with the Plasma Team since August 2008. We have completed three major builds and multiple smaller projects in this time. I heartily recommend Plasma Comp to anyone needing a workable, practical and effective system solution. Plasma’s Q&A process was extremely thorough. They quickly understood what was needed and then worked the process with pointed and penetrating questions to ensure they had the entire picture of the finished product.
I think Plasma has come a long way in embracing our philosophy of becoming more agile, both leading and following in this area when necessary. The teams have been very open to change and have a great attitude. I have no complaints!
Plasma is a great vendor to work with. They took us from an email-based process to a fully designed, web-based workflow. They have dramatically changed how our devices are certified to be used on our network and they will save you time as well! One of the many processes in our current environment has saved us so much time; from four months down to a few days!
