ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION: HOW MANUFACTURING WOULD LOOK IN THE NEXT DECADE?

 Robotic Automation has made its way into many different fields of manufacturing. Robots perform tasks including welding, assembling, packaging, handling raw materials, and package packing. Robotic automation is being used by an increasing number of manufacturers for a wider range of applications.

 
Late adopters, who stand to benefit greatly from automation, are seeking answers to the following questions: Are robots too costly for our company? Is our company too small to profit from robotics? Is it difficult to programme and control robots? Would humans lose their jobs as a result of robotics? The short answer is no.
 
Many different types and sizes of manufacturing companies will benefit from robotic automation. 
 
Here’s why manufacturing enterprises will benefit from robotic automation:
 
Robotics help you save money and time
 
In the early 1960s, robots were first used in manufacturing. They've come a long way since then. In comparison to previous decades, robots can now be deployed in less time and at a lower cost. Prices have dropped sharply as a result of increased sales. Robots come with built-in state-of-the-art equipment, quality upgrades, and controlled safety requirements, all of which lead to lower labour costs and less unscheduled downtime. Robots can also work around the clock, increasing production while reducing downtime.
 
Robots take on additional responsibilities.
 
These factors are currently assisting in the implementation of robots in the types of applications where they already excel: routine, high-volume development activities. If the cost and complexity of automating tasks with robots decreases, it's possible that businesses that still use them will use them even more. However, we foresee a more fundamental shift in the types of tasks for which robots are both technically and economically feasible in the next five to ten years.
 
Robotics Can Be Scaled
 
Robots are used in high-volume, high-production environments, but they can also be scaled down for use in small businesses. In low- to medium-volume manufacturing settings, modern robots may be used. They can now be easily configured and set up for new tasks thanks to recent developments. They can be used in a variety of manufacturing environments thanks to their mobile bases.
 
Programming Robots Is Easy
 
To teach robots, one no longer needs to know complex programming languages. There are two simple ways to teach modern robots. The first approach, offline programming, allows a user to model an entire cell, or work area, and create a task's movement sequence.
 
A teach pendant is the second method for teaching robots. The robot is simply directed through a series of steps by a programmer or engineer. The instructions are stored after some fine-tuning. The robot checks for collisions with objects or humans by slowly running through the software. The robot can now run at full speed after many good test runs.
 
Robotics Create More Jobs
 
Because they couldn't compete with low-cost foreign labour, many manufacturers have had to send jobs offshore. Manufacturing can now compete more effectively thanks to robotic automation, which has resulted in the creation of more employment in robotics and related fields.
 
All of the following skills are required: programming, engineering, end-effector design, operators, data analysts, robot manufacturing, and systems integration. Humans are required to assist in the maintenance of the machines. Robotics allow manufacturers to reduce costs and bring employment back to the United States, resulting in more jobs for Americans. Workers are also protected from having to perform tedious, mundane, and dangerous activities that could jeopardise their ability to function by using robots.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS FOR IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY

 If you consider the customer satisfaction index, the telecom industry is probably one of the worst ranking industries. But that was only until 2019. By the end of 2020, together, the sector made sure to climb up the satisfaction rate. And guess what? They will be able to do that. However, it’s just the beginning.  The importance of customer experience is growing like never before. And one tool that’s helping telecom industries is the use of virtual assistants. Did you know that OTT platforms are eroding the revenues of telecom industries? With video-on-demand media, the consumers are trying to cut the cord even more eager than ever before.  However, things are changing. How? Let’s find out! Virtual Assistants Aiding in Better CX in Telecom: Decoding the Ways If the telecom industry upgrades its digital customer engagement scale, it can easily experience the upsides in terms of better engagement, services, resulting in boosting sales. However, telecom operators often don’t have the peo

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
