Cover Story
It is important to think if we are ready to enter the era of robotics?
With the advent of this technology man has become more tech savvy and looks upon more opportunities that can be achieved. Services both professional and personalised can be given to one or many users at the same time through cloud.
Scientists and researchers are working on how improvisation can be done from time to time to the present system reducing the gaps in development. On the flipside is getting something that is erroneous, incorrect and unexpected from the developed system which may be the case. It may happen but chances are rare as the bugs can be easily fixed by software engineers.
Robotics Automation can be seen in Healthcare, Telecom, Banking, Finance and Transportation businesses. It has brought great ease and comfort in human lifestyle with a drastic reduction in individuals manual workload. With more availability of time manpower can be utilised effectively in other developmental activities not compromising with training and development of the human resource to facilitate the robotics perform seamlessly.
In the economy of rapid change, regular innovations and automation are imperative. Today the economy is rosy hence it has become important to go for automation and Innovation. Adopting automation is vital to maintaining the economical comfort and more production, while minimizing energy costs and operating expenses. Over the next five years, everything that has anything to do with manufacturing will be automated and Information systems, Controls and Measurements are going to be totally Internet / Ethernet connected. As the objectives of the important matters, must be kept in consideration that automation and control:
1. Increase the productivity and subsequently the value of shipments.
2. Improve the business health and stand in the segment of superstars. The business fortune lies in the automation of individual manufacturers.
3. Improve the levels of business, quality and the consumer confidence.
4. Require investing capital in those things which are most likely to lead to a brighter future.
5. Themanufacturing sector continue its growth through the automation and better control systems as the stagnancy in the manufacturing sector is called to be suicidal.
6. The decision makers are improving the balance sheets by proper automation and controls not by cost cutting through various other difficult parameters like downgrading the benefit etc.
7. Move the engineering industries in the superstars’ segment.
8. Almost all the superstars remain in alignment for continued growth of the business through a properly planned automation.
9. The manufacturing sector would grow, and we should go for automation, as the openion of most of the economists is‘ For the growthof industries, the automation should be done as per the economic conditions, not as an extra burden.’
10. All over the world, factories are becoming more efficient. They have installed new Automation, Control and Robotic system utilizing the new technology. Therefore, if we do not go for the automation, up gradation and adaptation of new technology, we would be left behind and thrown out of the market race.
IMPROVING SYSTEM DESIGN
An important system for Automation, Material handling, Holding & clamping, is Fluid Power Technology. Main power transmission and controls in the Automation are through the Fluid Power System. Hydraulic system is used when the most reliable and repeatable forms of power and motion
