THE BIG AUTOMATION WAVE OF 2021

 What is Automation? Is AIML the same?

  • Automation is the process of creating software and systems to replace repeatable processes and reduce manual intervention
  • Automation is directly proportional to Simplicity
  • When an algorithm has the capability of making decision backed by “Reasoning“ is called Artificial Intelligence
  • It gives the machine ability to mimic human-like behaviour and interact with its surrounding with the help of embedded AI algorithms
  • Automating and improving the learning process of computers based on their experiences (from the previous dataset ) without explicitly being programmed - is Machine Learning 



Why the change?

  • An increase in overall data and data diversity will drive organisations toward new compute and storage technologies
  • The pace of automation is accelerating, with more organisations creating fully automated value chains
  • CIOs and other technology leadership positions and evolving into customer experience and operations positions
  • Automations used in new ways post-COVID- Contactless and touches mechanisms of consumer and employee interaction will therefore gain more adoption in 2021. This trend extends the application of automation technologies to the areas requiring human-to-human contact which can refine the overall customer experience.
  • A big push to reduce complexity - the big push into cloud-native and Kubernetes: “CI/CD platforms are becoming more agnostic on what they ate deploying and favouring how they are deploying”.



Why Automation..?

  • Reduce Burden on IT - does not disturb underlying legacy systems.
  • Reliability - Bots can work 24*7 effectively.
  • Cost Cutting Technology - Reduces the size of the manual workforce and hence reduce costs.
  • No Coding Required - Programming skills are not necessary.
  • Accurate - Less prone to errors and functions with accuracy and uniformity.
  • Productivity Rate - Execution time much faster than manual process approach.
  • Compliance -  Follows rules to provide audit free trial.
  • Consistent - Repetitive tasks are performed in the same manner each time.

  8. AI - Democratised at Scale.
  9. DEVICE - From Factors Become Interesting Again.
  10. QUANTUM - Quantum Moves to Mainstream.          



Intense Automation or HIA 

  • HIA - Hyper Intelligent Automation
    • Enterprises displayed an obsessive focus toward adopting Automation for business resiliency during the pandemic, and they will continue to do so in the next year to future-proof their businesses. As per a recent survey, almost 50% of enterprises indicate that they intend to increase their spend on automation/RPA in 2021.
  • “Hyper-automation is rapidly shifting from an option to contain survival. Robotic process automation (RPA), low-code, artifice intelligence (AI) and many other hyper-automation technologies have proved to be mush- have ingredients for architecting and addressing critical business demand.”
  • “Despite the crises, investments in hyper-automation technologies (I.e, RPA, low-code tools and AI) have continued unabated. In September 2020, Gartner conducted or start new AI investments in the six to nine months.”
  • The HIA approach allows you to expand automation beyond RPA- eligible processes by using complementary technologies such as AI, Business Process Management (BMP), process mining, and many more tools.




HOLISTIC AUTOMATION

  • Robotic Process Automation ( RPA )
  • Business Process Management Systems (BMPS)
  • Artificial Inteligence(AI)
  • Other advanced automation tools and analytics




2025 ERA..!!

  • By year-end 2025, over half of the world’s population will be subject to at least one internet of behaviours (IoB) PROGRAM (private, commercial or governmental).
  • By 2025, 40% of physical experience-based businesses will improve financial results and outperform other organisations’ customer experience metrics by 20%.
  • By 2023, 40% of all enterprises workloads will be deployed in cloud infrastructure and platform services, up from 20%in 2020.
  • Through 2024, enhancements in analytics and automatic remediation capabilities will GeForce 30%of IT operations efforts, from support to continuous engineering.
  • By 2023, 40% of product and platform teams will use AIOps for automated change risk analysis in DevOps pipelines, reducing unplanned downtime by 20%.
  • Gartner expects over 75% of large enterprises in mature economics will use container management by 2024 due to the growing adoption of cloud-native applications and infrastructure.
  • By 2025, 50% of enterprises will have devised artificial intelligence orchestration platforms to operationalise AI, up from fewer than 10% in 2020. 




Your Survival Skills

  • CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, Python: DevSecOps
  • Moreover, you can focus on DevSecOps - adding Cyber Security to your skillset
  • Having conceptual knowledge of AI, Natural language processing (NLP), Deep neural networks (DNN) - technical knowledge is always an add-on
  • Cybersecurity is evergreen - once you automate, you need to ensure it is SECURE.
  • Short term courses on Cyber and AIML are quick boosters to get started in these domains.

WRITE A LETTER TO THE HEADTEACHER OF THE SCHOOL

Write a letter to a headteacher of the school in which you should : identify and evaluate the issues raised in the speech explain your views on whether the headteacher's proposal is the best way to benefit pupils at the school. Begin your letter with, 'Dear headteacher',... ANSWER :  Dear headteacher,         I accept your proposal that you have made such a big proposal towards children which seems to be very good for children and will keep the mind and body of children healthy and they will also be able to do their work and they will understand their responsibilities. And he will also learn to be free from mobile phones and video games and maintain his health, which will affect both their mind and their body in studies. And we expect from you that our children will enrol in sports in other studies too, they will be taken care of physically as well as mentally, and in school, morning circuit exercise is very good and before starting the school, An hour exercise ...

ALCOHOL AND HEALTH

Image
                                            Ethanol is the only alcohol that is safe to drink.it must only be drunk in moderation, if at all. Methanol is very toxic and in small amounts can cause blindness and death.        Ethanol mixes totally with water, which takes it everywhere in the body that water goes. The amount of alcohol that a person may drink varies with age, sex, weight and drinking history.       Heavy drinking can cause a healthy liver to become fatty and enlarged. Eventually scarring ( cirrhosis) can cause liver failure and death. Prolonged heavy drinking can eventually damage the muscle tissue of the heart. It may also lead to some long-term damage to brain. Alcohol is depressive drug and can be addictive. Drinking heavily on a particular occasion produces drunkenness, during which speech become slurred, vision is blurred and...

STEEL- MAKING

Image
                                                 The iron produced by the blast furnace is known as 'pig iron' or 'cast iron' and is not pure. It contains about 4% carbon, and other impurities. This amount of carbon makes the iron brittle. This limits the usefulness of the iron, though it can be cast (moulded) into large objects that are not likely to be subjected to deforming forces.        Most of the pig iron produced is taken to make steel. The carbon content is reduced by burning it off as carbon dioxide. Any sulphur contaminated is oxidised to sulphur dioxide. This basic oxygen process  is carried out in a tilting furnace. The method is fast: 350 tonnes of molten iron can be converted in 40 minutes. Scrap steel is added to the molten pig iron for recycling. A high-speed jet of oxygen is blown into the vessel through a water-cool...
