Julius E. Pitrap menemukan timbangan komputer pada tahun 1885. Alexander Dey menemukan dial recorder tahun 1888. Herman Hollerith menemukan Electric Tabulating Machine 1989 dan pada tahun yang sama Williard Bundy menemukan alat untuk mengukur waktu kerja karyawan. Pada 16 Juni 1911, teknologi-teknologi tersebut dan perusahaan yang memilikinya digabungkan oleh Charles Ranlett Flint dan membentuk Computing Tabulating Recording Company (CTR). Perusahaan yang berbasis di New York ini memiliki 1.300 karyawan dan area perkantoran serta pabrik di Endicott dan Binghamton, New York; Dayton, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; Washington, D.C.; dan Toronto, Ontario. CTR memproduksi dan menjual berbagai macam jenis mesin mulai dari timbangan komersial hingga pengukur waktu kerja. Pada tahun 1914, Flint merekrut Thomas J. Watson, Sr., dari National Cash Register Company, untuk membantunya memimpin perusahaan. Watson menciptakan slogan, ―THINK‖, yang segera menjadi mantra bagi karyawan CTR. Dalam waktu 11 bulan setelah bergabung, Watson menjadi presiden dari CTR. Perusahaan memfokuskan diri pada penyediaan solusi penghitungan dalam skala besar untuk bisnis. Selama empat tahun pertama kepemimpinannya, Watson sukses meningkatkan pendapatan hingga lebih dari dua kali lipat dan mencapai $9 juta. Ia juga sukses mengembangkan sayap ke Eropa, Amerika Selatan, Asia, dan Australia. Pada 14 Februari 1924, CTR berganti nama menjadi International Business Machines Corporation (IBM). 1930—1979 Peneliti NACA menggunakan mesin pemroses data elektronik IBM type 704 pada tahun 1957 Pada tahun 1952, Thomas J. Watson, Jr., menjadi presiden IBM, mengakhiri hampir 40 tahun kepemimpinan ayahnya. Pada tahun 1956 Arthur L. Samuel, peneliti IBM Pughkeepsie, New York, menciptakan program pertama yang bisa belajar sendiri. Pada tahun 1957, IBM mengembangkan bahasa pemrograman ilmiah FORTRAN (FORmula TRANSlation). Pada tahun 1961, Thomas J. Watson, Jr. ditunjuk sebagai ketua dewan direksi dan Albert L. Williams sebagai presidennya. IBM juga mengembangkan sistem reservasi SABRE (Semi- Automatic Business-Related Environment) untuk American Airlines pada tahun yang sama. Pada tahun 1964, karyawan dan komputer IBM membantu NASA merekam jejak penerbangan astronot Mercury. Di tahun 1965, IBM memindahkan markas pusatnya dari New York City ke Armonk, New York. Selama sisa dekade hingga awal tahun 70-an, IBM banyak mendedikasikan diri pada program peluncuran manusia ke bulan oleh NASA. Pada 7 April 1964, IBM memperkenalkan IBM System/360 yang sangat populer pada masanya. Pada 1973, insinyur IBM George J. Laurer mengembangkan sistem Universal Product Code.[7] Beberapa bulan setelahnya, pada Oktober 1973, IBM memperkenalkan IBM 3660, sebuah pemindai barcode yang mempermudah retailer menjual produknya. Di akhir tahun 1970-an, IBM mengalami perpecahan internal antara manajemen yang ingin berkonsentrasi pada bisnis mainframe dengan manajemen yang ingin berinvestasi besar- besaran di industri komputer personal yang sedang berkembang kala itu. 1980—saat ini Swap keuangan pertama kali diperkenalkan di publik saat IBM mengadakan perjanjian swap dengan World Bank. IBM PC, yang awalnya bernama IBM 5150, diperkenalkan pada tahun 1981, dan kemudian menjadi standar industri ketika itu. Pada tahun 1991, IBM menjual Lexmark, dan pada tahun 2002, IBM membeli bagian konsultasi PwC. Pada tahun 2003, IBM memulai proyek untuk menuliskan kembali nilai-nilai perusahaannya dengan menggunakan teknologi bernama Jam—sebuah diskusi berbasis dalam jaringan yang membahas isu-isu bisnis selama 3 hari. Diskusi ini diikuti oleh 50.000 karyawan dan hasilnya dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak eClassifier. Sebagai hasilnya, nilai-nilai perusahaan didefinisikan: "Dedication to every client's success", "Innovation that matters—for our company and for the world", "Trust and personal responsibility in all relationships". Pada tahun 2004, sesi Jam lainnya dilakukan dengan 52.000 karyawan dalam 72 jam untuk menemukan ide-ide yang mendukung tiga nilai perusahaan di atas. Pada tahun 2005, perusahaan menjual bisnis komputer personalnya kepada Lenovo, dan pada tahun yang sama membeli Micromuse. Pada tahun 2009, IBM membeli perusahaan perangkat lunak SPSS Inc., dan pada tahun yang sama, superkomputer IBM Blue Gene mendapatkan penghargaan National Medal of Technology and Innovation oleh presiden AS Barrack Obama. Pada tahun 2006, IBM meluncurkan Secure Blue, desain perangkat keras berbiaya rendah untuk enkripsi data yang dapat dijadikan mikroprosesor. Pada tahun 2011, IBM mendapatkan perhatian dunia ketika berhasil menciptakan Watson, yang diujicoba dan berhasil memenangkan kuis Jeopardy!. Hingga tahun 2011, IBM merupakan salah satu penerima paten terbanyak dari pemerintah AS selama 19 tahun berturut-turut. Pada 16 Agustus 2012, IBM mengumumkan rencananya untuk membeli Texas Memory Systems dan beberapa hari setelahnya, 27 Agustus 2012, IBM mengumumkan akan membeli Kenexa dengan nilai $1,3 milyar dolar AS. 2.2 Pertumbuhan dan Perkembangan International Bussines Machines 2.2.1 Produk Produk dari IBM mencakup keseluruhan teknologi informasi : 1.

  • Barcodes and Rfids
    Barcodes and RFIDs Martin Dodge and Rob Kitchin For: Globalization in Practice (edited by Nigel Thrift, Adam Tickell and Steve Woolgar) Introduction One of the key phenomena of the globalization of commerce has been the internationalisation of goods and brands. A set of diverse practices and processes, including the transformation of transport infrastructure and logistics and the virtualisation of money, have enabled both producers (e.g., goods manufacturers) and sellers (e.g., wholesalers, supermarkets) to massively extend supply chains, to globally expand their markets, and to increase their turnover and profits. A key technology in improving the efficiency and productivity of logistical organisation and operation has been development of sophisticated identification systems that overcome the anonymity of manufactured products by assigning unique numerical identifiers – digital thumbprints - to material products. These identification systems allow products to be effectively and unambiguously processed, shipped and traced through complex logistical networks, to monitor sales, aid account management, refine supply chains and inform marketing strategies. Conceptually they have two distinct components, first an agreed allocation of unique id code numbers and, second, an agreed media to physical store the code. The most obvious manifestation of this technology for product identification and tracking are the parallel black and white printed stripes of barcodes. Barcodes Barcodes, visible on nearly all, retail products are the physical manifestation of UPCs (Universal Product Code) – a code that uniquely identifies a product regardless of location or language. The original UPC concept can be traced back to 1940s, but gained widespread acceptance and usage in the 1970s with the development of a UPC standard by a group of U.S.

BY MOLLY SORGE Attending the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be an emotional experience for Akiko Yamazaki – and not only because she hopes her horse, Suppenkasper, will be named to the U.S. Dressage Team with rider Steffen Peters. When Yamazaki sits down in the stands at Equestrian Park at Baji Koen, she’ll be sitting next to her mother, Michiko, who is the person who inspired her love of horses, and her two daughters, who share their passion for riding. My mom attended the Tokyo Olympic Games in 1964 as a spectator,” Yamazaki said. “Now we’ll go to watch the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games at the“ same venue, and hopefully we’ll be watching one of our horses compete. My mother is going to be 79 years old, and she’s really looking forward to going back and watching the Games in Tokyo. We are three generations of riders. It’s coming full circle.” For Yamazaki, who sits on the Board of Trustees and serves as the Secretary of the U.S. Equestrian Team (USET) Foundation, that feeling of legacy is a big part of why she loves equestrian sport so much. Her mother introduced her to riding when she was young, and now Yamazaki’s daughters have not only grown up immersed in the sport but have also developed their own passion for riding.

  • Tips for Marketing Fresh Produce to Retail Grocers: Using PLU and UPC Codes a Guide for Producers
    Working with Local Fresh Produce in Retail Settings Tips for Marketing Fresh Produce to Retail Grocers: Using PLU and UPC Codes A Guide for Producers What is a PLU? What is a UPC? PLU and UPC codes help retailers identify or scan your product into their cash register system. Being knowledgeable about the differences in these labels in advance of approaching a retailer may help you get your foot in the door. These codes are not only a necessity for some retailers, but also a marketing tool for your farm, because they carry information about your farm and products along the supply chain. This informational sheet contains information adapted from the Produce Marketing Association. NC Growing Together, a CEFS-led initiative, is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, grant #2012-68004-20363 www.ncgrowingtogether.org PLU and UPC Codes PLU Codes_________________________________________________________________ A PLU code, or price look up code, is a 4 or 5 digit code that is unique to a particular produce item; based upon the commodity, the variety and the size group; and will typically appear on a small sticker that is applied to the individual piece of fresh produce. These codes are standard across the produce industry and in all retail grocers. They help cashiers identify the variety and therefore the price of a product. For example, a hydroponic/greenhouse tomato has the PLU 4799, while a slicing tomato has the PLU 4805. The retailer may charge $2.99 per lb for a hydroponic, but $1.49 per lb for a slicing tomato.
