Think of driverless cars and an automatically managed traffic system using IoT sensors, which
result in zero accidents. Truly, in the world of IoT, only our imagination is our ultimate limit.
3D PRINTING
3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a technology
which was first developed at MIT (Massachusetts Institute
of Technology) in the 1980’s. It is the process of making a
physical object from a three-dimensional physical model.
In this technology, we use the 3D digital data on the
computer to build 3D objects by adding layers of material
which could be polymers, metals, concrete or even plant
and human tissue. 3D Printing helps to bridge the gap
3D Printing technology
between ideas and images on a page or screen and the
creation of those ideas/images in the physical 3-Dimensional world.
There are many 3D Printing methods:
Direct 3D Printing: Uses inkjet technology, emitting waxes and polymers to create a solid
object.
Binder 3D Printing: Uses nozzles and 2 materials which come together to act as a glue.
Multi-Jet-Modeling (MJM): Uses multiple materials to form an object.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): A patented technique like Direct 3D Printing.
Photo-polymerization: Here ultra-violet laser beam acts on liquid plastic drops and
converts them into solid-state thus forming a 3D object.
We also have Selective Deposit Lamination (SDL), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and
Electronic Beam Melting (EBM) techniques.
RPA (ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION)
Most of the jobs in any industry consist of the tasks that
are repetitive in nature and can be automated. RPA or
Robotic Process Automation allows organizations to
automate tasks which human beings were doing across
any applications and systems. The purpose of RPA is to
transfer the execution of the process from humans to
robots. Robotic automation uses the existing IT structure
without using any complex system integrations. Robotic Process Automation
RPA can be used to automate anything. It can be the workflow, infrastructure, and back office
processes which are labour intensive. The robots can interact with an applications, websites, and
portals The RPA is a software program which runs on an end user’s pc, laptop, or mobile device.
It is actually a sequence of commands executed by the robots using a set of business rules.
