Podcasts about computerisation

The history of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines dates back seven decades. During the 1950s, CNC technology was difficult to introduce due to manufacturers' scepticism. Today, it is hard to imagine the world of manufacturing without CNC machines. In material removal processes, a CNC machine has become the central link that determines the functional capabilities of a manufacturer. CNC machining centres are complex machines that continue to evolve and improve. The advancement of CNC technology is based on the progress in various fields such as the main spindle and its bearing units, machining slideways, high-velocity drives, computer engineering, hydraulics, electric motors, robotics, sensors and much more. When compared to a conventional machine with mechanical parts, the share of modern digital CNC machines is significantly higher. CNC technology will continue to be the backbone of machining methods in the near and far future. The development of CNC machines is intended to increase the versatility, productivity, stability, reliability and accuracy of a given machine. These targets are ongoing milestones that assure contemporary machining results. The leap forward relates to machining centres that combine subtractive and additive technologies that are both CNC machined and 3D printed. At the same time, a complete rethink of CNC advancements has been brought about by Industry 4.0 and the concepts of smart manufacturing. In a smart metalworking factory, there is a continuous information exchange between the real world of CNC machines and the virtual world. This world functions according to the features of the machined parts and their respective theoretical characteristics. Smartly balancing on the boundaries of these worlds and analysing the real-time information is the ability to make decisions and corrections that are made by computer-controlled units. One element that is much smaller, substantially cheaper and considerably less complicated when compared to a CNC machine tool, is a cutting tool. The tool is the link that directly removes material from a workpiece and closes the process loop of ‘machine and workpiece'. Due to objective reasons, the cutting tool element is subjected to less fundamental changes and the cutting tool is frequently identified to be the weakest link in the processes. Something that also limits system capabilities. Therefore, appropriate upgrading of cutting tools should be considered as an integral part of the progress of CNC technology. A conventional approach to making cutting tools relates to designing innovative cutting geometries, using advanced cutting materials and applying leading production technologies that are intended to improve tool life, ensure greater material removal rate (MRR), provide higher accuracy, and increase reliability. Nevertheless, Industry 4.0 trends in the development of CNC technology are placing ever greater priority on the digital component of the cutting tool. Information has constantly accompanied cutting tools even before Industry 4.0. Catalogue data, tool drawings and recommendations regarding applications were provided in printed formats and later in electronic formats and these continue to be essential for the typical metalworking machine shop. Computerisation has affected customer support by providing expanded capabilities in the form of data. Various software applications have enabled the selection of optimal tools and the ability to estimate tool life under specific machining conditions. The combination of ISCAR's NEOITA and its Power Consumption applications enables a quick calculation of cutting forces, bending load and power consumption. It also enables the user to find suitable cutting material grade, the right tool for a specific application and provide an analysis of competitors' products alongside other useful functions. Customers can easily access data and related information through computers and mobile devices, but now, advancements in network communications have introduced the world of metal cutting to the virtual electronic world. Digital twin technologies complement manufacturing processes. Machining modelling, collision checking and process optimising to find the best cutting strategies are only some examples. In a smart factory, the digital twin is the most significant brick of the foundation. Understandably, only a tool having its digital twin is acceptable for the smart factory's toolroom. The progress of CNC technology leads to new demands for cutting tools. A tool manufacturer is expected to be a provider of a product that ideally combines a cutting tool as a material object, its real-time digital twin and an appropriate software environment. This allows the seamless incorporation of the tool data in the CAD/CAM and virtual manufacturing environment, directly transmitted by Internet of Things (IoT) networks - tool packages and virtual assemblies. To make tool representation clear for various computer systems, the ISO: 13399 standard was developed and ensure the platform's independence. This standardisation is necessary for other digital components of the tool package to unify data related to tool life, calculated loads, machining conditions and lots more. ISCAR's digital tool component, which is based on the ISO: 13399 standard, includes the following characteristics: E-catalogue with various search functions, updated promotion information and reference data. The .p21 file (a STEP file) includes a product identification class for a comprehensive tool data representation and exchange. 3D tool representation for computer modelling and CNC programming in accordance with the ISO: 10303 standard (STEP). A 2D tool representation in DXF format for planned process documentation, drawings, tool layouts and setup sheets. Virtual tool assembly options for turning, milling and holemaking tools intended for generated digital assembly twins in both 3D and 2D representations. NEOITA – ISCAR Tool Adviser, an expert system that recommends optimal tooling solutions for a specific application. The machining calculator and the cutting material grade optimiser software applications. A rapid pace of industrial digitising takes CNC technologies to new heights. This gives a boost to appropriate changes in the product range of a tool manufacturer and demands strong links between a cutting tool and its virtual digital component.

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, managing editor & publisher of PKN Packaging News, and John Broadbent, director of RealisePotential, discuss the what, why and how of Industry 4.0.The discussion starts with a review of the three previous revolutions in the industrial world and an overview of the fourth that's currently in progress through the introduction of computerisation and connectivity. The integration of systems, storage and data analysis are helping to refine production and better target operational improvements.John notes the three main factors that are maturing and converging to help drive Industry 4.0 and also steps through the issues that are preventing Australian manufacturers from engaging with it. This leads to a discussion of the results being achieved by members of the World Economic Forum's Global Lighthouse Network and reports by Deloitte demonstrating increases in productivity and reductions in energy consumption.Thanks to the benefits being achieved by Industry 4.0, the gap between those adopting this approach and those who haven't is widening at a rapid pace. John steps us through the four stages of operational maturity achieved with Industry 4.0 and the questions organisations should be asking to help them assess their readiness.We wrap with a discussion of leveraging existing technologies to transform in stages and the resources available to assist organisations plan their transition.This episode has been brought to you by Bonfiglioli.

A 2014 Pew Research Center study asked 2,000 experts about how technologies like robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) would affect jobs. About half said a significant number of jobs, both blue and white-collar would be gone, potentially resulting in massive unemployment, income inequality and a complete breakdown of social order. While we're used to factory jobs being lost, the rise of AI will be vastly more far-reaching. In 18 Jobs That Are Most Likely to Be Killed off by Computers, we listed jobs in jeopardy ranging from equipment operators to physicists. Computers equipped with AI are now even writing articles like this one, so journalism jobs could also one day follow dial phones and camcorders into history. But it's not all doom and gloom. Some futurists are suggesting that by letting robots and AI handle much of the work that humans currently do, the new economy could provide a universal guaranteed income, thus freeing humans to be more creative and productive. So which is the likely outcome: Dystopian hellscape or a free-money Nirvana? That's what we're going to explore in this week's "Money!" podcast. As usual, my co-hosts will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit and producer Aaron Freeman. Our special guest for this episode will be Dr. Anthony P. Carnevale, Professor and Director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Want more information?

There is an inordinate amount of hype and fear around artificial intelligence these days, as a chorus of scholars, luminaries, media, and politicians nervously project that it could soon take our jobs and subjugate or even kills us off. Others are just as fanciful in hoping it is on the verge of solving all our problems. But the truth is AI isn’t nearly as advanced as most people imagine. What is the practical reality of AI today, and how should government approach AI policy to maximize its potential? To parse the hype, the hope, and the path forward for AI, Rob and Jackie sat down recently with Pedro Domingos, emeritus professor of computer science at the University of Washington and author of The Master Algorithm.Mentioned:Pedro Domingos, The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World (Basic Books, 2015).Robert D.

An intriguing set of questions that is being explored by researchers across the globe and is being discussed and brainstormed in various organisations and think tanks is: “what is the future of work”; “how forthcoming AI and Automation revolution will impact on the nature and structure of work”; and “what would be the impact of these changes on the fabric of society from social, economic and political perspectives”. In a 2013 study “The Future of Employment: How Susceptible are Jobs to Computerisation?” researchers Dr Carl Benedikt Frey and Dr Michael Osborne made an important observation: about 47% jobs in the US will be lost to automation. Dr Carl Frey is the co-director of programme on technology and employment at Oxford Martin School at Oxford University. His research focuses on “how advances in digital technology are reshaping the nature of work and jobs and what that might mean for the future”. In 2016, he was named the 2nd most influential young opinion leader by the Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer. A recent book by Dr Carl Frey presents a thorough review of the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members. The title of the book is “The Technology Trap: Capital, Labour and Power in the Age of Automation”. The Industrial Revolution was a defining moment in history, but few grasped its enormous consequences at the time. This books demonstrates that the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present and the forthcoming AI and automation revolution. Dr Carl Frey shows the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labour share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends, Frey documents, broadly mirror those in our current age of automation, which began with the Computer Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same. But Frey argues that this depends on how the short term is managed. The decisions that we make now and the policies that we develop and adopt now will have profound impact on the future of work and job market. In the nineteenth century, workers violently expressed their concerns over machines taking their jobs. The Luddite uprisings joined a long wave of machinery riots that swept across Europe and China. Today’s despairing middle class has not resorted to physical force, but their frustration has led to rising populism and the increasing fragmentation of society. As middle-class jobs continue to come under pressure, there’s no assurance that positive attitudes to technology will persist. Dr Carl Frey joins me for this episode of Bridging the Gaps. In this podcast we discuss the ideas that Dr Frey presents in this book. Before discussing the future of work, we look at the history of work and how the nature of work evolved through various ages and how did it impact the equality in the society. Dr Frey notes in his book that the age of inequality began with the Neolithic revolution; we discuss this in detail. We then discussed first and second industrial revolutions and the age of digital transformation. We also discuss the rise of politics of polarisation and finally we discuss the future of work. This has been a fascinating conversation with a thought leader, on a hugely important subject.

Children in Crossfire CEO Richard Moore shares his personal insights of the challenges and rewards of starting a global charity.   Richard wanted to ‘give something back’ after he received so much compassion and support following a tragic injury that resulted in him being registered blind. Richard encourages listeners to not be afraid to reach out for help, and shares remarkable stories of the impact of the team’s work improving the lives of children and young people in Tanzania and Ethiopia. Some key quotes from this episode!:  “Computerisation opened up a whole world for any blind person really.”  “It’s all about forward planning and having the confidence to ask for help when you need. Whether it be in employment or not, I’m never afraid to ask for help. I think it’s an indication of strength.  Any sighted person that thinks they get through the day without help from anybody, I think they’re bluffing. We all need help whenever those ‘some things’ come about.” “Much has been achieved and there’s much more to be done, and that’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.” “Life’s what you make it yourself sometimes.”

In 2013 two Oxford academics published a paper entitled “The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation?”, estimating that 47% of U.S. jobs were at risk of automation. Since then, numerous studies have emerged, arriving at very different conclusions. So where do these estimates diverge, and where do we think the automation of jobs might be heading? Join our host, philosopher Peter Millican, as he explores this topic with one of the authors of that paper, Professor Mike Osborne, Dr Judy Stephenson, an expert on labour markets in pre-industrial England, and Professor David Clifton from our Department of Engineering Science.

There are only a few industries left in which automation isn’t threatening job roles. That’s a pretty scary thought, right? Well, don’t panic just yet. According to The Future of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs to Computerisation?, it is jobs that are highly reliant on social and negotiation skills that are less threatened by automation. BUT! If you and your team are too busy performing mundane repeatable tasks while your competitors are the ones who are face-to-face with clients and prospects, delivering a better customer experience, your chances of being disrupted are highly likely. On this episode of Real Estate Pros, we interview Ian Campbell, founder and CEO of Aire - a software company focusing on solving big problems for the real estate industry. Ian and his team have built the first ever digital assistant for real estate, Rita, who can outperform a human counterpart at a range of tasks and deliver an amazing customer experience across digital channels. Ian shares his background in the industry and we look at how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of real estate.  This is an interview you don't want to miss!

Professor Steve Woolgar introduces and discusses the main themes of the Visualisation in the Age of Computerisation conference, by reflecting on recent changes in visualisation media and considering some of the implications of these changes for research. This paper introduces and discusses the main themes of the conference "Visualisation in the Age of Computerisation" (Said Business School, 25 March 2011). It reflects on changes in visualisation media in recent years and considers some of the implications of these changes for research. In particular, the paper discusses the 'lure of the visual' - our tendency to experience visual representation as more 'vivid', 'real', 'striking' than other media - and the consequences for our research. In what ways and to what extent can we resist being drawn in by the visual? How can we maintain analytic distance on the visual? What after all is 'cool' about visualisation?
