Robotic Solutions

Cloud robotics is a combination between intelligent robots, cloud computing, AI learning and other cloud technologies, which enables automated robots to function by connecting them to the internet. When it comes to complicated tasks, a single robot may need 150 hours to perform AI learning, while a cloud robot only takes an hour when connected to the cloud robotic system. The cloud robot application is increasingly adopted across a variety of industries in Hong Kong. 

The new World Robotics report reveals a surprising increment of 517,385 new industrial robots installed in 2021 around the world. It means that the demand for automated robots or industrial robots is incredibly increasing. By implementing the robotic solutions, companies can be benefited from the following items:

• Cost Savings: In the long term, robotics can lead to significant cost savings by reducing labor costs, minimizing waste, and improving productivity.
• Improve Quality and Accuracy: Robots perform in a highly precise and accurate way, which can efficiently reduce the risk of errors and improving the quality of work.
• 24/7 Uninterrupted Work: Robots can work all the time, providing businesses and services with 24 hours availability. For production businesses, robots can enormously increase the production output rates. 
• Increase Efficiency: Robots can handle repetitive and mundane tasks more efficiently than humans, avoiding any careless mistakes. It helps to free up employees' time to focus on more complex and strategic tasks.
• Maintain Safety: For some hazardous tasks, it can be passed to robots to reduce risk of workplace injuries and improves overall working safety.

 By embracing robotic technology, businesses can unlock their full potential and achieve long-term success.
 

Cloud robotics, a cutting-edge AI technology, leverages advanced cloud computing to control robots and connect them to big data, empowering them to perform more complex tasks. With cloud robotics, companies can achieve greater cost-effectiveness by scaling their robotic operations easily without investing in additional hardware or infrastructure. However, automation traditionally only focuses on the application of physical robots to handle tedious and repetitive tasks such as a robotic arm for packing products.  
 
In summary, cloud robotics provides a more sophisticated and flexible approach to robotics, enabling robots to perform complex tasks and access the latest AI and big data technologies.

Robotic solutions have been applied across a wide range of industries. Below are some of the most common robotic applications in different industries:

• Manufacturing: Automotive Robots, Welding Robots, Spray Painting Robots, Robotic Palletising
• Medicine & Healthcare: Telepresence, Surgical Assistants, rehabilitation Robots, Medical Transportation Robots, Sanitation and Disinfection Robots
• Warehouse Operation: Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Automated Guided Carts (AGCs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Articulated Robotic Arms
• Retail: Replenishing Stocks with Scanner Robots, Checkout Robots, Chatbot handling customer enquiry

There are different types of robotic solutions that are created to handle specific tasks in different industries. Here are some examples:

• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) - a transport tools in warehouses and factories
• Drones – be used for aerial surveys, monitoring and inspection in fields like agriculture, construction, and oil and gas
• Medical robots – assist in surgery, laboratory transportation, and patient care in hospitals
• Collaborative robots (Cobots) - work alongside human workers in manufacturing, packaging, and assembly lines
• Cleaning robots – support automated cleaning and sanitization in healthcare and commercial buildings
• Security robots - applied in surveillance in public spaces, airports and properties
• Agricultural robots - applied in harvesting, planting, and monitoring crops in agriculture
• Education robots – common in schools or universities for STEM education.

There are 7 Steps for Implementing new Robotics Solutions:

1. Identify existing problem: to find out the problem that can be solved by robotic solutions, and define it as the objective or outcome. 
2. Evaluate the technology: Compare the various types of robotic technologies available with company’s infrastructure, and select the one that most suits company’s needs.
3. Study the feasibility: Assess the feasibility of implementing robotic solutions in enterprise by talking with experts, thinking about the building cost, and the potential impacts.
4. Choose the right vendor: Choose the right vendor who can provide the best hardware, software, and support in a reasonable price.
5. Plan the automated workforce: Design the automated workforce on how to operate and manage the robotic solutions, and how to integrate them into the existing workflow.
6. Perform testing: Run and test the robotic roadmap and refine them as necessary to ensure that they meet the desired performance levels.
7. Monitor and maintain: evaluate the performance of the robots and maintain them to ensure that they can smoothly work at peak efficiency over time.
