DARPA Awards PARC Contract to Expand Ocean Knowledge

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 11:56:00 +0000

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2020 – PARC, A Xerox Company, announced today it has been awarded a contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the next development phase in the Ocean of Things, a project to expand what scientists know about the seas.

Initially announced by DARPA in 2017, the Ocean of Things project is deploying small, low-cost drifters in the Southern California Bight and Gulf of Mexico to collect data on the environment and human impact. This includes sea surface temperature, sea state, surface activities, and even information on marine life moving through the area.

“Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth’s surface, but we know very little about them,” said Ersin Uzun, vice president and general manager of the Internet of Things team at Xerox. “The drifters gather data that we could never track before, enabling persistent maritime situational awareness.”

Each solar-powered drifter has approximately 20 onboard sensors, including a camera, GPS, microphone, hydrophone, and accelerometer. The different sensors can provide data for a broad array of areas including ocean pollution, aquafarming and transportation routes.

PARC leveraged its more than fifty years of experience developing industry-leading technologies to design a drifter that best fit the DARPA requirements for the program. Among other things, the float needed to be made of environmentally safe materials, be able to survive in harsh maritime conditions for a year or more before safely sinking itself, and use advanced analytic techniques to process and share the data gathered.

PARC built 1,500 drifters for the first phase of the project and will deliver up to 10,000 that are more compact and cost-effective for the next phase. Data gained in this round will help further optimize the final design, at which point DARPA expects to deploy large volumes of these drifters to provide continuous information and a better understanding of oceans that is missing today.

Xerox Highlights COVID-19, Diversity and Climate Change Efforts in 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

Thu, 22 Oct 2020 08:11:00 +0000

NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 21, 2020 — Xerox Holdings Corporation (NYSE: XRX) has published its 2020 Global Corporate Social Responsibility Report detailing data, accomplishments and goals relating to its work regarding the environment, society and governance.

“While corporate social responsibility isn’t new, this year has crystalized what it really means, and the role we must play, as we face three enormous challenges – the impacts of the pandemic, social inequality, and climate change. I’m incredibly proud of the strong performance of the Xerox team during this extraordinary time,” said John Visentin, vice chairman and CEO, Xerox. “We have learned in profound ways just how interconnected we are, despite our differences, and that we must work together to make meaningful progress against all that challenges us as individuals and society.”

Highlights from this year’s report include the company’s:

Work to combat COVID-19, from producing low-cost disposable ventilators and hospital-grade sanitizer to helping prepare the USNS Comfort and USNS Mercy for humanitarian missions, transitioning schools to remote learning, and developing software that enabled companies to monitor the health of their employees;
Plan to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2040 and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60% by 2030;
Addition of clean technology as Xerox’s fifth innovation pillar, focusing on identifying those innovations that help reduce harmful emissions and waste around the world; and
Diversity and inclusion roadmap that includes developing partnerships with organizations such as A Better Chance, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing education, access and opportunity for young people of colour, and accelerating the careers of high-potential employees who come from a diversity of backgrounds.

Xerox prepared the 2020 CSR report according to Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. The report also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In addition, earlier this year Xerox began disclosing its corporate social responsibility metrics using the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) standards to ensure our stakeholders have full transparency into our CSR progress.
