The labor gap is only expected to increase in the next five years. Per Gartner, by 2028, there will be more smart robots than frontline workers in manufacturing, retail and logistics due to labor […]

Jobs Vs Machines – Part 1: Will bots steal our bread? (Or butter it?)

Jobs Vs Machines - Part 1: Will bots steal our bread? (Or butter it?)

“Are machines the genie which spring from Aladdin’s Lamp of Science to supply every need and desire of man, or are they Frankenstein’s monsters which will destroy man who created them?,” asked MIT president Karl T. Compton in an article he wrote in the 1938 issue of MIT Technology Review.

Well, the notion (or rather fear) that tech advancements take away people’s jobs is not new.

Compton’s conclusion was that technological “unemployment is a myth”.Those historical concerns about technological unemployment, particularly in 1938 and the early 1960s, are relevant even today: in the context of contemporary fears surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI) […]

Retrofitting automation in drystack operation is easy

Retrofitting automation in drystack operation is easy

Industry

At a marina, there’s no better use of space for storing boats than a drystack facility, but they can be maintenance- and personnel-heavy. Replacing forklifts with a semi-automated CAPRIA Ground-Running Stacker Crane can greatly increase productivity. Getting customers’ boats in the water in a fraction of the time it would take a forklift contributes directly to profitability, an increased bottom line and happier customers. Due to the geometry of the crane’s pivot, it can move boats 10′ longer than a forklift can within the same aisle space. Additionally, CAPRIA cranes are electric, so forklift fuel and storage are eliminated. […]

However, the effects of automation on policy preferences and voting patterns may differ for women. Women may be less affected by automation risks due to other long-standing risks they face and the types of occupations they enter [3] . Therefore, automation risk may […]
