[Observe] How will the traditional enterprise come to the era of super-robots?
December 8, 2016, Singapore - IDC Manufacturing Insights Global Business Robotics Research Project released the latest report titled "IDC Future Scape: 2017 Global Robot Prediction." The report analyzes the major drivers of the future development of global robotics technology and the impact of these drivers on the development of robotics technology from 2017 to 2020.
According to Dr. Zhang Jingbing, research director of IDC Global Robotics and Asia-Pacific Manufacturing Insights, “The development of artificial intelligence, computer vision, navigation, MEMS sensors and semiconductor technology will continue to promote the functional, performance, autonomy, ease of use, and cost of industrial and service robots. Innovation in efficiency."
Dr. Zhang also revealed the major strategic forecasts from 2017 to 2020 and the major development trends of robotics technology. These trends will bring many new opportunities and challenges for IT leaders.
Prediction 1: Robot as a Service (RaaS)
By 2019, 30% of commercial service robot applications will be presented in a “robot-as-a-service†business model to reduce the deployment cost of robots. "Robot-as-a-Service" is a relatively new concept. It is a cloud computing unit that connects robots and embedded devices to the cloud computing environment.
Prediction 2: CRO (Chief Robotics Officer)
By 2019, 30% of top companies will define the role of chief robot officer, or define the robot-related functions within their business scope.
Prediction 3: Changing the Competitive Landscape
By 2020, each company will have more suppliers to choose because more "new players" will enter the 80 billion ICT market and support the deployment of robotics technology.
Prediction 4: Robotics Talent Crisis
By 2020, robotic growth will accelerate competition for talent, leaving 35% of robot-related vacancies, at least 60% increase in salaries.
Prediction 5: Robotics will face legalization
In 2019, the government will begin to develop robot-related regulations to ensure employment and respond to security and privacy threats.
Prediction 6: Software-Defined Robots
By 2020, 60% of robots will rely on cloud-based software that defines new skills, cognitive functions, and applications to form the "cloud" market for robotics.
Prediction 7: Collaborative Robots
By 2018, 30% of all new robots will be smart cooperative robots, three times faster than current robots, and they can work safely around humans.
Prediction 8: Intelligent Robot Networking
By 2020, 40% of commercial robots will be networked and share intelligence, bringing about twice the operational efficiency of robots.
Prediction 9: Growth outside the factory
By 2019, in the areas of logistics, health, utilities, and resources, 35% of industry-leading companies will use robotics to automate operations.
Prediction 10: Robot Electronic Commerce
By 2018, 45% of 200 global e-commerce and omni-channel retail enterprises will deploy robot systems to automate storage and logistics.
Dr. Zhang Jingbing concluded: “The robotics technology will continue to accelerate innovation, and will subvert and change the existing business operation modes in many industries. IDC expects that the robots will experience strong growth in more areas outside the traditional manufacturing industry, including logistics and medical care. In the areas of health care, public utilities and resources, we encourage end-user companies to actively adopt robotics technologies and carefully evaluate the potential of such technologies to enhance their competitive advantage, such as improving quality, improving operational efficiency and agility, and improving the abilities of all stakeholders. Experience, etc."
Francis turbines are the most common Water Turbine in use today. They operate in a water head from 40 to 600 m (130 to 2,000 ft) and are used primarily for electrical power production. The electric generators that most often use this type of turbine have a power output that generally ranges from just a few kilowatts up to 800 MW, though mini-hydro installations may be lower. Penstock (input pipes) diameters are between 3 and 33 ft (0.91 and 10 m). The speed range of the turbine is from 75 to 1000 rpm. A wicket gate around the outside of the turbine's rotating runner controls the rate of water flow through the turbine for different power production rates. Francis turbines are almost always mounted with the shaft vertical so as to isolate water from the generator. This also facilitates installation and maintenance.
