monitoring and automation. These challenges led to an urgent need to come up with a power grid that rises up to these challenges. A class of technologies that have been used in industries for decades using two way digital communications are now being incorporated in power grids in order to transform the energy generation, transmission, distribution and marketing by incorporating functionalities to overcome challenges. These technologies enable computer based monitoring, remote control and…
Businesses to achieve their goal for which they are set up involve number of activities. To better handle or manage these activities or to make the work easier these activities are divided into smaller activities or tasks. A process is simply a well-defined set of steps and decisions points for executing a specific task (Vsellis, 2015). Streamlining these tasks, certain agreed upon steps are followed. So process methodology is an agreed upon way of doing business or running these activities. A…
understanding of Algorithms, we symbolize Power line communication signal as Communication signal and Program Logic Controller Signal as Automation signal. Algorithms Steps (Fig.7): Step 1:Sub-station “A” PLC Modem will send “communication Signal” to “F-PLCCG“ via Transmission line and as soon as signal passes from PLC modem, Program Logic Controller(at substation) sends “Automation signal’ to Program Logic Controller(at F-PLCCG) for activation of Switches (…
Right now our world is moving into a technology based world, and when the minimum wage increases there may be an increase in automation. If we have more automation that leads to more employees being laid off because if the minimum wage increases some companies may not be able to afford to pay a higher minimum wage for their employees, if they have a lot, so automation is cheaper. Oxford University researchers Carl Benedikt Frey, PhD, and Michael A. Osborne, DPhil, stated in a 2013 study that…
Three major dilemmas facing American workers today due to cheap computing and cheap telecommunications are the outsourcing of IT jobs to foreign countries, the outsourcing of factories to foreign countries, and the automation of many jobs in the United States. Many jobs that were once found in the United States’ IT industry have been moved overseas because workers in other countries can be paid less and because telecommunications are cheap enough to make it feasible. This of course has meant…
Driverless cars are not exempt from opposition. David Mindell, a professor at MIT, argues full automation is not always the best option (Dizikes). Using examples such as the space program as well as the design of full automated submarines, Mindell highlights the human factor was still necessary, especially in the space program (Dizikes). Mindell also notes the technology used towards the end goal of total automation of submarines was eventually…
Utilitarianism has to account for “long-term pleasure” and not merely acts that bring “immediate gratification”. The “long-term pleasure” here refers to the economic growth, and consequently a higher standard of living for the society. Hence, allowing automation to make decisions for human would be considered ethical, as it brings about a greater pleasure for the greater number of people and not just instant…
This is an argument that didn 't seem to be touched on in other articles, which is strange because it is a pretty relevant point. Obtained the article on Proquest through Victoria Universities Library catalog. 3.Evan, H, L (1962). The Challenge of Automation to Education, American Behavioral Scientist, 6.3, 16.19. doi:10.1177/000276426200600305 . Retrieved from ProQuest Education Journals database. This article is get a bit old though I still found it to be relevant, if more from a historical…
to Mississippi to Alabama which meant that I changed schools with each move. I never really got settled in enough to ever get motivated. That all changed once we moved to Alabama. I was enrolled in a Career Tech Center in the field of Industrial Automation. So, once my family found a small and comfortable town that we wanted to stay in, we bought a house. I started school being nervous and scared of what was ahead. Last year, on the first day of my sophomore year I was talking to my counselor…
This reduces hospital stays, and improve patients’ prognosis and save costs. Robot replacement is just a matter of time. This will be a second wave of automation using artificial cognition (Kevin…
