Autonomous Everything: The Workforce and The Future of Automated Port Terminals – OODA Loop

Posted: September 11, 2022 at 2:13 pm

In a series of posts entitled Autonomous Everything, we are exploring automation in all its technological forms, including legacy working assumptions about the term itself. We began the series in June at the bleeding edge of autonomous vehicles, with a description of the first autonomous ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean. But autonomy is not just for the future of the car and personal mobility but includes a broad autonomous future in areas such as Security Automation, Automation and the Workforce, Automation or Augmentation of the workforce, and Automation of AI/Machine Learning Training Models and Industry Standardization.

We now tack to the familiar heavy industrial history of automation and global shipping port terminal operations, which have been the frontline in the tensions between labor, industry, and automation in the U.S. for decades. Port automation is also prescient in the context of the recent pandemic-induced supply chain bottlenecks, which strained port operations globally: Terminal automation has helped to relieve severe supply chain congestion at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach by substantially accelerating cargo handling and expanding terminal capacity while generating longshore work significantly faster than conventional terminals, according to a groundbreaking new study on port automation. (1)

The study analyzes new public and previously unpublished data [and] was commissioned by the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) during the Covid-19 pandemic when a surge of Asian imports exposed severe shortcomings in the U.S. supply chain. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which process 40% of containerized imports from Asia, bore the brunt of this influx. They handled record levels of cargo, but backlogs at times more than 100 ships anchored offshore awaiting berths underscored the need for the countrys largest port complex to enhance terminal efficiency and productivity to accommodate growing container volumes and stanch the diversion of cargo to East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. (3) The study analyzed automated terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach the two busiest in the nation and found that cargo handling was accelerated, terminal capacity was expanded and longshore work was generated significantly faster there than at conventional terminals. (2)

Over the last 100 years, labor has always operated on the assumption that automation would contribute to the elimination of jobs and the number of (generally unionized) highly skilled, high-wage laborers working in port terminal operations. Authors Dr. Michael Nacht, Professor of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and former Assistant Secretary of Defense, and Larry Henry, Founder of ContainerTrac, Inc. in the report, Terminal Automation in Southern California, place automation in a broad context based on the attention automation has garnered recently, while also dispelling historical assumptions about the role of automation in job elimination and capturing some of the motivations behind OODA Loop research and analysis on the topic:

The State of Big Data Collection and Analysis – Automation World

Posted: at 2:13 pm

Quick hits:

Related to this episode:

Welcome to Automation Worlds Technology Matters.Im David Greenfield, Director of Content, and today Im going to share some insights we gathered recently from research into industrys use of Big Data collection and analytics technologies.

Though the name Big Data sounds really trendy, its really just the name thats new. Companies have been collecting time series data from assets for decades now. And while plant managers and maintenance workers have, of course, been using this data for operations improvements, they were rarely, if ever, analyzed with wide business transformation in mind. And thats what Big Data is really all aboutcapturing increasing amounts of data by deploying more sensors and other data gathering technologies andmost importantlyanalyzing the data for specific business improvement insightsnot just capturing it to let it sit there for some possible use to be identified later.

So for this research project, in which we surveyed both end users and system integrators, we focused on the use of a variety of data collection and analysis technologies, ranging from data acquisition systems, historians, and computerized maintenance management systems to edge and cloud computing, and advanced analytics software.

So heres a little sampling of what we found. While most end user respondents86 percentindicate that they collect data from equipment and devices specifically for production improvement initiatives, most only started doing this within the past five years. Only 27 percent of respondents indicate that theyve been collecting data for such purposes for more than six years.

An interesting point among the end user responses is that 98 percent plan to gather even more data from their production systems in the next two years. But only 30 percent plan to do so for specific operational improvements.

Now, this could indicate that, of those who have been collecting and analyzing data for a few years, many may have already discovered numerous ways of improving their production operations and could be looking to leverage the data they collect now for other, more strategic business purposes.

Another interesting finding in the survey was that end users and integrators agreed on the the top three business drivers for data collection and analysis. Those drivers are: the improvement of specific line or equipment operations, improving maintenance operations, and being part of the companys overall Industry 4.0 or digital transformation initiative.

With regard to specific technologies used for Big Data collection and analysis, we found it interesting, though not too surprising, that most manufacturers still rely on data collection and analysis technologies that existed long before the development of the technologies receiving most of the Big Data attention today.

Thats not to say newer collection and analysis technologies are going unusedthats definitely not the case. Edge and cloud technologies, for example, are being used widely across industry. Even so, there remains a lot of headroom left for their growth. Only 29 percent of system integrator clients use hybrid cloud and edge technology and just 14 percent use stand-alone cloud systems.

According to the survey results, most manufacturers rely on three principal methods of data collection and analysisand one of those is handwritten data collection. System integrator respondents say that 57% of their clients still rely on handwritten data collection thats then entered into spreadsheet software. But only 29% of end users say they use handwritten methods of data collection. Even if you split the difference between integrator and end user responses here, thats still a lot of companies relying on handwritten data collection and that really cant support a true Big Data initiative.

The other two principal methods used are historians and computerized maintenance management systemsboth of which have long histories of use across industry.

The results of this study will be featured in our October 2022 issue, so keep an eye out for the full report to be published online and in print.

So I hope you enjoyed this Technology Matters episode. Keeping watching this space for regular updates on advances in and applications of industrial automation technology.

A spokesman for a large Tier 1 supplier who asked not to be identified given the sensitive nature of the topic said that all of the Detroit 3 are either moving to automate some buying procedures, or discussing such a move.

He said his own company is also moving toward automated processes "whenever possible."

"We are focused on automation of some repetitive steps in our sourcing process, where customers extend a program life and we, in turn, need to extend the contractual obligation to our supply base," the spokesman said.

The Tier 1 supplier is also developing a tool for members of its purchasing team to ask questions, find resources online or launch an IT request for access to data, he said.

The initial moves may be small, but they appear to be the beginning of a trend.

Volkswagen's Von Seelen said it is a case where the auto industry is catching up to other sectors.

"Other industries are more advanced," she noted. "We need to be more transparent from the supply base, but also from the automaker side."

In 2023, mechanical engineering education will take a new turn as automation and robotics combine

The field of mechanical engineering became more established as a means of creating, managing, and maintaining equipment throughout the first two industrial revolutions. In general, its core field of knowledge expanded to encompass manufacturing, materials, mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and machine design. It is both the forerunner and the recipient of other engineering forms. They will keep enriching it by coming up with, designing, constructing, and operating increasingly advanced gear with increased complexity, flexibility, connectedness, and automation.

In comparison to prior industrial revolutions, the fourth industrial revolution is currently significantly increasing the multidisciplinary nature of this corpus of knowledge. These revolutions core technologies include AI and ML, IoT, Robots and Cobots, Big Data, 5G, Augmented and Virtual Reality, and 3D and 4D printing, among others.

A portion of the boring, risky, and unclean activities are taken over by machines, which also assist in increasing productivity and service levels. They simplify or change our job, but they also develop new types of experiences, surroundings, enterprises, and even societal structures, which grow and change our culture. Machines have been a part of numerous civilisations from the beginning of time. Without the aid of various tools and equipment, their monuments, textiles, and handicrafts would not have been feasible. One of the sixty-four acknowledged art forms in prehistoric India was the understanding of tools and machines. China was undoubtedly the world leader in manufacturing machines up to the fourteenth century.

Since prehistoric times, machines have been equipped with automation systems. The first self-operating devices were possibly traps used to catch games. Some examples of early autonomous devices are the Chinese south-pointing chariot, Persian windmill, and Egyptian water clock. In Alexandria, active teaching and research projects focused on automatic devices from the third century BC. Heros Pneumatics, which had various inventive design descriptions, became a key source for the creation of automated machines.

During the Middle Ages, the Arab world produced several treatises on machine design, building on this basis. The Chinese and the Japanese created some fascinating self-operating devices more than a thousand years ago for entertainment and other uses. These machines were created to automatically carry out a sequence of actions.

In the fifteenth century, the machine renaissance began in Italy and quickly expanded throughout the rest of Europe. The printing press made several publications on machine design widely available. The evolution of hydraulics was amazing. Numerous inventive residential appliances, such as fountains and fanning mechanisms, as well as commercial appliances, including saws, wineries, fabric washing, and wheat mills, were also created. Steam energy, the machine tool industry, and mechanized industries defined the first industrial revolution, which began in the UK in the eighteenth century.

To specify the weaving of patterns and images, the Jacquard loom, developed in 1802, utilised punched cards. The internal combustion engine, electricity, gas, communication technologies, control systems, and factories with assembly lines driven by electricity were all part of the second industrial revolution that occurred in the next century. Innovative mechanisms, a variety of energy sources, and electromechanical devices for automation and industrial process control were used to create several new machines with increased capacity and power.

Microelectronics, digital computers, and automation based on programmable controllers were the catalysts for the third industrial revolution. Mechatronic systems have now begun to develop from machine systems. The machine systems improved in sophistication, efficiency, size, and weight, while the control mechanisms got quicker, more dependable, and more adaptable. Fusions between the physical, cyber, and biological worlds, as well as intelligent automation, are characteristics of the current fourth industrial revolution.

At Ford, the term automation was first used in 1953. Nowadays, the benefits of industrial automation go far beyond the reduction of labour costs and include several advantages like improved designs, simpler capacity expansion, decreased inventory, consistency in quality, improved downtime, decreased setup time and transition costs, improved preventive maintenance, extended equipment life, increased safety, simpler failure detection and rectification, flexible products, lower energy consumption, etc.

Automation engineers employ a variety of technologies to optimize, simplify, and automate manufacturing, mining, power generating, warehousing, and other activities. Robotics and industrial automation are anticipated to be embraced by more than 60% of businesses, according to the World Economic Forums 2020 study on the Future of Jobs.

According to a Global Survey from 2021, automation is being tested by organizations in 70% of the worlds respondents countries. It estimates that $37 trillion will be produced by smart manufacturing by 2025. The Global Warehouse Automation Market is expected to reach more than 64 billion USD by 2030, according to research from 2022 Acumen Research and Consulting.

Process automation and factory automation are two concepts that collectively make up industrial automation. Although the idea of a digital computer managing a production facility first surfaced in 1948, real applications didnt become accessible for another ten years. AI-based dynamic reasoning is mixed with static reasoning in automation software. According to an estimate by Maximize Industry Research, the automated process control market would likely reach or surpass 27 billion USD by 2027.

Tetsuro Mori first used the word mechatronics in 1969, in the early stages of the third industrial revolution. Robots and mechatronic systems have increasingly become necessary parts of automated manufacturing and logistical systems. The robot is a word that originated in Czech and was first used in a play in 1923. Industrial robots can be stationary or mobile. Unimate, the first industrial robot installed by a firm, was created by General Motors in 1961. In 1970, machine vision was also used for the first time in an industrial context. Numerous industrial robots were developed in the 1960s and 1970s.

Robots are employed for greater accuracy and quality work as well as to aid or replace human operators in risky, unpleasant, and boring tasks. Construction, agriculture, defence, healthcare, infrastructure, retail, leisure and entertainment, law enforcement, and other industries are all impacted by the uses of robotics and mechatronics, which reach well beyond the industrial and logistical sectors. According to a forecast from Market Research Future from 2022, the entire robotics market will surpass 214 billion USD by 2030 as a result of the availability of affordable and energy-efficient robots.

The Business Research Company predicted that the market for machine vision will likely surpass 18 billion USD by 2026 in a research from 2022. A Reportlinker analysis from 2022 predicts that by 2028, the worldwide market for AI in manufacturing will exceed 21 billion USD.

The new manufacturing facility is evolving into an intelligent network of technologies that allows for the autonomous management of buildings, equipment, and logistical chains with a minimum of human involvement. The ability to track operations at all levels and collect pertinent data from equipment and assets in real-time, thanks to industrial IoT, makes activities completely transparent across the production chain. Effective insights on preventative maintenance, asset utilization, worker and asset safety, lowering energy and material requirements, lowering downtime, etc., may be produced by a strong data analytics environment.

According to Statista, the Industrial IoT market will reach more than USD 1.1 trillion by 2028. Digital twins are being developed and regularly examined throughout their life cycles using real-time data as well as other sources. By a survey by 2921 Verified Market Research, the digital twin market is anticipated to reach more than 108 billion USD by 2028. A recent report claims that the engineering services outsourcing (ESO) sector has experienced a paradigm shift from core engineering services to embedded engineering solutions that combine automation, robotics, AI, ML, analytics, IoT, etc. The global ESO market is anticipated to reach more than USD 9 trillion in 2030.

This exponential expansion has enormous potential for Indian businesses, which will open up several employment options for our engineering graduates with the necessary skills. Students should learn the concepts and methods of machine design, process control, mechatronics, cyber-physical systems, robotics, and artificial intelligence to be prepared to work in this field. They should also be able to design, implement, and manage automation systems. We cannot change our manufacturing facilities with automation and robots and achieve the goals of Make-in-India, Atma-Nirbhar Bharat, and Developed India.

Both in India and abroad, there will likely be a high need for positions in automation and robots. Numerous significant Indian industrial equipment, machinery, and car manufacturers should quickly take advantage of the rapidly growing worldwide demand for robotics and mechatronic systems to invest heavily in the development and manufacture of automation tools and robots. Interdisciplinarity and systems thinking, along with technical skills, lifelong learning, complex problem solving, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and the capacity to work in multidisciplinary teams, are critical competencies for engineers, given that Industry 4.0 is about the fusion of various diverse technologies.

By including several such intriguing fusions in their engineering courses, certain Indian engineering institutes are successfully adapting to the situation.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE: Morrison Tech lands grant to launch automation, process control specialization – Clinton Herald

Posted: at 2:13 pm

MORRISON, Ill. When U.S. Congresswoman Cheri Bustos visited the Morrison Institute of Technology five years ago, she was impressed with its engineering technology and network administration programs.

So much so, that when it came time for her current, and what will be her final, Heartland Tour across northwest and central Illinois to present federally funded checks for local projects, Morrison Tech was on her list.

Bustos, a Democrat representing Illinois 17th District, on Wednesday presented school officials with $1.5 million that will help launch a new specialization in its engineering technology program focusing on automation and process control systems.

Providing a grant to Morrison Tech was a top-of-mind goal for Bustos, who during her visit related to school officials the impression the school made on her during her previous tour.

We were so impressed with what youre doing and that you partner with other businesses, she said. This rose to the top. And this is one of the bigger grants. Were really, really happy that we were able to help with this and really, really proud of everything youre doing for the next generation.

The skills learned by students in the automation and process control systems program will support manufacturers who rely on automation or intelligent systems for their operations and will help support companies looking to add this capability.

For manufacturers, obstacles to integrating automated processes include the initial cost of automation, locating the skilled workers needed to design, implement, and maintain automated systems, and the expertise and resources needed to support the transition, school officials said. Providing this workforce development will be key to maintaining and growing local, regional, and statewide manufacturing, they said.

The program will add topics in electricity, hydraulics, programmable logic controllers, and process automation to a core of general studies and engineering coursework. It also will add to the advanced capabilities of the Morrison Institute of Technologys Innovation Center and enhance manufacturing support through expansion of business services, school officials said.

The current economic uncertainty makes this the ideal time to strategically prepare for the future needs of industry, Morrison Tech President Chris Scott said. This is a great opportunity to invest in the future workforce of the region and embrace tomorrows future today.

Students can now enroll for the new specialization, which begins in fall 2023, by visiting the Morrison Tech website at https://www.morrisontech.edu/. The first class will graduate in May 2025.

Morrison Institute of Technologys history goes back to its founding nearly 50 years ago, when in 1973, it acquired the assets of the Institute of Drafting and Technology that had been located in downtown Morrison. Richard Parkinson, Arlinn Rambo, and Dr. Albert Odey were key to the colleges founding and organization.

Since that time, the Morrison Institute of Technology has offered various degrees in engineering technology. The college was first authorized by the state of Illinois to grant an associate in technology degree in 1973; it became a non-profit private college in 1977. In the 1980s, the school added an apartment-style dormitory.

Also at that time, computer-aided design revolutionized drafting and drafting instruction. That computer technology ultimately led to the addition of the network administration program in 2003. In 2007, the college added a new administration wing, an auditorium, and the networking lab space.

The growth of prototyping technologies also impacted instruction heavily in the 2000s and led to the construction of the Innovation Center in 2018.

Expanding lab and student opportunities, applied technical education, and assuming a role as a leader of engineering technology and regional development characterizes the modern Morrison Institute of Technology, said Scott Connelly, Morrison Techs vice president of academic affairs.

He explained that automation has been a watchword in manufacturing for decades, but recent years have seen rapid expansion in this area. The technology has become cost effective, and provides solutions to manufacturing problems in the production of delicate products, those that require a sterile production environment, and helps to maximize a companys labor resources. Over recent years several area manufacturers have expressed interest in a program that addresses automation and process controls, he said.

There is an increasing relevance of automation. Theyve talked about automation for decades, Connelly said. But really the technology has improved to the point, especially the IT technology, the networking technology type of technology, where it is cost effective to implement these things even for small and mid-sized companies.

The $1.5 million grant will go toward the new specializations capital costs.

The equipment and lab space is a big capital cost, he said. Thats one of the roadblocks to why we havent launched previously.

Black Hawk Hills Regional Council and Whiteside County Economic Development officials let the school know about grant funding available for local projects, so they wrote a grant proposal in spring 2021 for Bustos and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin. The money will come to the school through the Office of Housing and Urban Development.

He also said Morrison Tech will be adding staff members, and is going to be seeking to hire someone with an industry and/or academic background, as well as support staff members as they add to the Innovation Center.

The goal there is to bring the public onto the campus to use the Innovation Center and participate in the Made @ Morrison program, in which they can make a mallet, laser-cut signs or a clock, and other activities.

We have one director who manages and oversees it, and were going to have to add some support for him, he said.

Along with the grant award to Morrison Tech, Bustos also distributed $750,000 to the YMCA of Rock River Valley in Rockford, Illinois; $300,000 to Rosecrance Freeport; and $4.5 million to the Peoria Ag Lab, with funds secured through the Community Project Funding process. This year, The New York Times reported Bustos was the top House Democrat in bringing home federal community project funding for the first year of the process.
