Book Industry 5 0 and Paradigm Shift   Emerging Challenges

Download or read book Industry 5 0 and Paradigm Shift Emerging Challenges written by Namit Gupta and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industry 5.0 is the successor of the 'Industry 4.0' concept which employed high technology in the manufacturing industry. Industry 5.0 is a new idea that adds a human touch to the work of robots and smart machines. The basic idea of humans and machines working together is to increase efficiency and effectivity, like the 'Internet of things' (loT). It aims to merge the increasing cognitive computing abilities of the robots with the intelligence and resourcefulness of the humans. The progress of Industry 5.0 is inevitable. As the technology grows more each day, we find ways to make our work simpler. The development of such technologies to make the world more efficient requires its manufacturers, i.e., humans who collaborate with these machines and technologies. Humans are indispensable resources, as what a machine can do is limited. And with all these efficiencies we have come so far, there is no path leading us back. With adoption of new concepts comes a paradigm shift as development continues and we move from Industry 4.0 which speaks of the "future of production," its primary purpose continues to be achieving seamless connectivity between machines and IT systems for higher productivity and efficiencies across the value chain. Overall, it focuses mainly on traditional financial and operational KPIs. Whereas Industry 5.0 gives a human touch to the concept of 4.0 keeping in mind the well-being of the environment and society, making the machines and humans work together on a path of 'Green Future'. Industry 5.0 has the balance of both humans and technologies which benefits the ecosystem, with discovery of new energy sources and renewable resources, helping in a sustainable working environment. It can be used to reduce harmful residue caused due to manufacturing processes and recycle rare materials. Taking this theme, the multidisciplinary congress on "Industry 5.0 and Paradigm Shift: Emerging Challenges" will highlight research challenges and open issues that should be further developed to realize Industry 5.0.

Book The Fourth Industrial Revolution

Download or read book The Fourth Industrial Revolution written by Klaus Schwab and published by Currency. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolu­tion, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wear­able sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manu­facturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individu­als. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frame­works that advance progress.

Book A 21st Century Cyber Physical Systems Education

Download or read book A 21st Century Cyber Physical Systems Education written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are "engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components." CPS can be small and closed, such as an artificial pancreas, or very large, complex, and interconnected, such as a regional energy grid. CPS engineering focuses on managing inter- dependencies and impact of physical aspects on cyber aspects, and vice versa. With the development of low-cost sensing, powerful embedded system hardware, and widely deployed communication networks, the reliance on CPS for system functionality has dramatically increased. These technical developments in combination with the creation of a workforce skilled in engineering CPS will allow the deployment of increasingly capable, adaptable, and trustworthy systems. Engineers responsible for developing CPS but lacking the appropriate education or training may not fully understand at an appropriate depth, on the one hand, the technical issues associated with the CPS software and hardware or, on the other hand, techniques for physical system modeling, energy and power, actuation, signal processing, and control. In addition, these engineers may be designing and implementing life-critical systems without appropriate formal training in CPS methods needed for verification and to assure safety, reliability, and security. A workforce with the appropriate education, training, and skills will be better positioned to create and manage the next generation of CPS solutions. A 21st Century Cyber-Physical Systems Education examines the intellectual content of the emerging field of CPS and its implications for engineering and computer science education. This report is intended to inform those who might support efforts to develop curricula and materials; faculty and university administrators; industries with needs for CPS workers; and current and potential students about intellectual foundations, workforce requirements, employment opportunities, and curricular needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will happen when technology begins to operate from within the body? What are smart houses and smart cities, and what limit will genetic manipulation have? Beyond agreeing or not with the guidelines of "the Great Reset" proposed by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF), there are some aspects that we must debate as soon as possible, because they already affect us (such as privacy, information management and cybersecurity) and because we need a clear regulatory framework about the limits that we will put on the manipulation of bodies, either by incorporating chips or devices or by the so-called "perfective improvement".

Book Organic Computing     A Paradigm Shift for Complex Systems

Download or read book Organic Computing A Paradigm Shift for Complex Systems written by Christian Müller-Schloer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-29 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organic Computing has emerged as a challenging vision for future information processing systems. Its basis is the insight that we will increasingly be surrounded by and depend on large collections of autonomous systems, which are equipped with sensors and actuators, aware of their environment, communicating freely, and organising themselves in order to perform actions and services required by the users. These networks of intelligent systems surrounding us open fascinating ap-plication areas and at the same time bear the problem of their controllability. Hence, we have to construct such systems as robust, safe, flexible, and trustworthy as possible. In particular, a strong orientation towards human needs as opposed to a pure implementation of the tech-nologically possible seems absolutely central. The technical systems, which can achieve these goals will have to exhibit life-like or "organic" properties. "Organic Computing Systems" adapt dynamically to their current environmental conditions. In order to cope with unexpected or undesired events they are self-organising, self-configuring, self-optimising, self-healing, self-protecting, self-explaining, and context-aware, while offering complementary interfaces for higher-level directives with respect to the desired behaviour. First steps towards adaptive and self-organising computer systems are being undertaken. Adaptivity, reconfigurability, emergence of new properties, and self-organisation are hot top-ics in a variety of research groups worldwide. This book summarises the results of a 6-year priority research program (SPP) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) addressing these fundamental challenges in the design of Organic Computing systems. It presents and discusses the theoretical foundations of Organic Computing, basic methods and tools, learning techniques used in this context, architectural patterns and many applications. The final outlook shows that in the mean-time Organic Computing ideas have spawned a variety of promising new projects.

Book Next Industrial Revolution  The  A New Age For Innovation In Industry

Download or read book Next Industrial Revolution The A New Age For Innovation In Industry written by Vincent Petit and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Next Industrial Revolution, Vincent Petit builds on his earlier work, The Age of Fire Is Over (2021), where he explored how key transformations in consumption patterns impact our energy system in ways that have been seldom envisioned. He further develops this work here, and traces how these transformations apply to our modern industrial system, the bedrock of our global economic development and wealth creation.Petit argues that the world is on the cusp of the next centennial transformation of our industrial system, driven by major technological enhancements, considerable opportunities for productivity step changes, but also significant resiliency and environmental challenges.Through a deep and unique exploration of the innovation landscape and global context in each major sector of industry, the author sheds light on the key changes that will transform not only every sector of activity, but also the way they interact with one another to produce nothing short of a complete redesign of our industrial system.The way such transformation will unfold will, however, depend on the complex entanglement of technological progress, policy, business transformations and cultural evolutions. Through different scenarios, the author highlights some of the key decisions that need to be made today, in order to make the most of this opportunity.

Book Industry 4 0 Solutions for Building Design and Construction

Download or read book Industry 4 0 Solutions for Building Design and Construction written by Farzad Pour Rahimian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth results and case studies in innovation from actual work undertaken in collaboration with industry partners in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Scientific advances and innovative technologies in the sector are key to shaping the changes emerging as a result of Industry 4.0. Mainstream Building Information Management (BIM) is seen as a vehicle for addressing issues such as industry fragmentation, value-driven solutions, decision-making, client engagement, and design/process flow; however, advanced simulation, computer vision, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, machine learning, deep learning, and linked data all provide immense opportunities for dealing with these challenges and can provide evidenced-based innovative solutions not seen before. These technologies are perceived as the “true” enablers of future practice, but only recently has the AEC sector recognised terms such as “golden key” and “golden thread” as part of BIM processes and workflows. This book builds on the success of a number of initiatives and projects by the authors, which include seminal findings from the literature, research and development, and practice-based solutions produced for industry. It presents these findings through real projects and case studies developed by the authors and reports on how these technologies made a real-world impact.

Book Shifting Paradigms

Download or read book Shifting Paradigms written by Zia Qureshi and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the big questions about how technological change is transforming economies and societies Rapid technological change—likely to accelerate as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic—is reshaping economies and how they grow. But change also causes disruption, creates winners and losers, and produces social stress. This book examines the challenges of digital transformation and suggests how creative policies can make it more productive and inclusive. Shifting Paradigms is the second book on technological change produced by a joint research project of the Brookings Institution and the Korea Development Institute. Contributors are experts from the United States, Europe, and Korea. The first volume, Growth in a Time of Change, was published by Brookings in February 2020. The book's underlying thesis is that the future is arriving faster than expected. Long-accepted paradigms about economic growth are changing as digital technologies transform markets and nearly every aspect of business and work. Change will only intensify with advances in artificial intelligence and other innovations. Investors, business leaders, workers, and public officials face many questions. Is rising market concentration inevitable with the new technologies or can their benefits be more widely shared? How can the promise of FinTech be captured while managing risks? Should workers fear the new automation? Are technology-driven shifts in business and work causing income inequality to rise? How should public policy respond? Shifting Paradigms addresses these questions in an engaging manner for anyone interested in understanding how the economic and social agenda is being transformed by today's winds of change.
