Cover Story
The Japan-based company ‘Piolax’ had also the history of
manufacturing parts primarily for the automotive industry
that dated back to the 1930s. In keeping with its philosophy,
the company had set up a production division in the
southeastern part of the United States in the 1980s, when a
key automotive customer moved a portion of its production
centers to that area. The plant completed its third expansion
in 2001, increasing the facility by 30,000 square feet and this
division was employing a total number of about 350 people
including the temporary employees.
We saw that the innovations that involved years (say about
a century) of research and developmentsaround the globe,
have now become reality and are being used worldwide, being
accepted as the most convenient and accurate mediums for
many businesses.
The Application Program interacts with the user in the front
end through the use of Visual Interface generating a correct
response to the command.
However, it is an expensive process which also has chances
of failure, and it also requires a certain environment
(temperature, material, platform, architecture etc.) that
involves a high level of programming and design to implement
the system effectively.
The ever-changing technological advancement has created a
space for automation to meet the developmental needs of
the society. From Manufacturing Industries to Infrastructure
Buildings, they are reliant on robotics. Enhanced economic
growth can be witnessed in nations worldwide.
Robotic Automation has a Graphical User Interface system
which is easy,interactive, simple to access and use as it can
be controlled and used from anywhere and everywhere by
simple handheld device or a remote. It’s information is secure
and works on a set of protocols. It can be created according
to the environment robots will require to perform tasks in. Adopting Robotics requires the understanding of its operation
to avoid complexities and undesirable results. It involves a
high level of maintenance and updating from time to time
to upgrade it tools according to the current requirement as
technologies change from time to time so the software needs
to be regularly checked if it has become obsolete or cannot
perform tasks as required.
This can help in doing a number of tasks in one go, which
is hassle free, and the events are recorded in the database
for future reference or identification of an error. Robotics are
highly efficient and take less time as compared to humans. Society has benefited as there is more production that leads
to reduced cost on the other hand less manpower is required
so the service cost is minimized. In future from 30% to 40% of
the work will be based on automation.
