The number of roles in North America made up 83% of total industrial automation jobs up from 71.9% in the same quarter last year. That was followed by Asia-Pacific, which saw a 2.2 year-on-year percentage point change.

The figures are compiled by GlobalData, who track the number of new job postings from key companies in various sectors over time. Using textual analysis, these job advertisements are then classified thematically.

GlobalData's thematic approach to sector activity seeks to group key company information by topic to see which companies are best placed to weather the disruptions coming to their industries.

These key themes, which include industrial automation, are chosen to cover "any issue that keeps a CEO awake at night".

By tracking them across job advertisements it allows us to see which companies are leading the way on specific issues and which are dragging their heels - and importantly where the market is expanding and contracting.

The fastest growing country was the United States, which saw 70.4% of all industrial automation job adverts in the three months ending January 2021, increasing to 82.3% in the three months ending January this year.

That was followed by Switzerland (up 4 percentage points), Singapore (3), and Italy (2).

The top country for industrial automation roles in the apparel industry is the United States which saw 82.3% of all roles advertised in the three months ending January.

Some 23.7% of all apparel industry industrial automation roles were advertised in Portland (United States) in the three months ending January.

That was followed by Moreno Valley (United States) with 23.7%, Manhattan Beach (United States) with 5%, and Northridge (United States) with 4%.

UST Named a Leader in Zinnov Zones for Hyper Intelligent Automation and RPA Services - PR Newswire

Automation has been substantially coming about in garment factories, with modern machinery being used to make high-end garments and increase productivity in attempts to become more competitive globally.

Almost all the regulation-compliant garment factories, especially the 157 with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, have already automated major sections of the factories, producing sophisticated apparel items, mainly outerwear, using robotics.

In the fiercely competitive garment business supply chains, lead time is very important as almost all apparel-producing countries are competing with the same kinds of items and making strategic price offers.

So quick deliveries through the maintenance of quality is a very important factor for retaining competitiveness in the business.

It is not possible to remain competitive maintaining the manual process of garment production using a huge number of workers. As a result, automation has turned key in this competitive business.

Abdullah Hil Rakib, managing director of Team Group, which has a LEED certified garment factory, said he currently uses a semi-automated production line to bring more efficiency in productivity and time management and become competitive.

In his factory, he has had to automate some important sections to enable greater efficiency.

For instance, he said one of his machines can make six pockets at a time, which otherwise, if all the other factors were to remain constant, would have taken six workers.

So the number of workers here has been reduced but efficiency and quality has been maintained, he said.

This is a small example of how the local garment manufacturers have been automating their production.

Like Rakib, many garment manufacturers have been automating their units to be more competitive in the fiercely competitive global garment business.

Rakib said the need to produce intricate, high-end value added garment items, including outerwear, has prompted a rise in the use of automation in the garment sector in Bangladesh.

Previously a lot of workers used to produce the most basic of garment items but that was at the bottom tier in terms of efficiency and profitability, he also.

But now automation has been bringing efficiency and use of a "Standard Allowed Per Minute" (SAPM) measure is also increasing as the wastage of time is not taking place because of real time data analytics in the management system in the factory, he added.

Over the next 10 years, automation in the garment industry will reach new heights as the local apparel exporters have to adopt new technologies to be more competitive.

"The automation in production gives the real data, accuracy, efficiency in management. So we can take a good decision in management of the business," said Rakib, who has automated sections for cutting, sewing and measuring fabrics.

He is now saving up 10 per cent to 15 per cent on costs through the installation of the modern machinery in his factory.

In a normal factory, if a production line requires 700 workers, installation of modern machinery for the same work leads to the need for 600 workers, he said.

"Installation of modern machinery is not a requirement of international retailers and brands but this is needed for survival in the business," Rakib said.

Automation of the production line does not mean that the employment of workers will reduce as the industry has a crisis of skilled workers, he added.

MA Jabbar, managing director of DBL Group, another major textile and garment manufacturer, said automation or use of modern machinery was important for maintaining the quality and for improving efficiency.

"I have already installed many machines in the textile mills of the group. I have to adopt the new technologies for sustainability of my business," Jabbar told The Daily Star over the phone.

Since the industry is growing and the inflow of work orders for the sophisticated garment items is also increasing, the local manufacturers will have to adopt the technologies as the future of Bangladeshi garment business is in value added items, he added.

The local textile mills had transformed their production systems a lot earlier installing modern machineries and now the garment factories are adopting the latest technologies to be more competitive, said another leading garment exporter asking not to be named.

"Special products require special machinery," he said.

Although the local factories have been adopting new technologies, the need for workers will not reduce as the production of value added garment items need more skilled workers, he added.

Miran Ali, managing director of Bitopi Group, a leading user of programmable machines in the garment industry, said the sweater industry has almost become fully automated.

Woven and knitwear sectors are quickly adopting automation, he said.

However, bringing about end-to-end automation is not possible, he said, adding that there was a possibility of unemployment rising for automation in the garment sector.

Shahidullah Azim, vice-president of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), said nearly 80 per cent of apparel factories have been using modern machineries for improving productivity and efficiency.

But in terms of the use of robotics, artificial intelligence and algorithm, it is between 5 per cent and 10 per cent.

Bringing about automation throughout the sector is not possible now, he said.

BGMEA President Faruque Hassan said automation was coming about in phases and full automation would take more time.

Heath is the senior solutions specialist for AIOps at PagerDuty. He has a long background in monitoring, event management and operations in many organizations and is focused on enabling the personal success of individuals and teams across IT. Heath lives in Georgetown, Tex., and is passionate about cooking and finding great Texas barbecue.

The modern world runs on code, and with every company now a software company, its become more important than ever to move quickly when things go wrong. Thats why incident response has become such a critical endeavor for organizations.

Unfortunately, traditional manual approaches are riddled with inefficiency. This leads to excessive mean time to repair (MTTR), which damages not only customer loyalty and the bottom line, but also employee morale.

Fortunately, leaning on automation and machine learning (ML) capabilities can help organizations plot a better path. Teams are looking to reduce repetitive work and human error, optimize responder productivity and drive all-around better outcomes as they adopt automated incident response.

In order to take advantage of this trend and build a culture of resilience, teams must look for opportunities to improve and upgrade manual operational processes with technology that can remove toil, save human cycles and give them an edge.

Many organizations have accelerated their digital transformation plans, in some cases by several years. But weve learned that running fast can break things, and its not uncommon for greater velocity to also introduce more exposure to operational risk.

The infrastructure supporting new digital services could contain hundreds of millions of lines of code and billions of dependencies, so digital incidents are inevitable. Research shows that there was a 19% rise in critical incidents from 2019 to 2020.

To keep up with the pace of innovation required to maintain high availability and deliver on customer experience, organizations need to invest in best practices and develop robust processes to streamline incident response to proactively address and resolve issues when they arise.

Infrastructure and operations wont magically attain the adaptive resilience Gartner talks about with current manual and reactive incident response.

In many organizations, the tools, scripts and manual commands that responders use to get to the bottom of incidents exist in the heads of just a few subject matter experts (SMEs). They may also require manual intervention. This does not make for rapid or effective incident response. All too often, organizations waste previous resources by swarming the problem with maybe dozens of responders. This wont fix the underlying issue.

Manual processes can also lead to copy-and-paste errors, unnecessary repetition of steps, limited collaboration between technical and customer support teams, and use of incorrect documentation. The result is slower MTTR, angry customers and frustrated employees.

Instead, organizations should automate as much of their incident response as possible driving resilience and enhancing their ability to learn from events, and proactively improve on a continuous basis.

Machine learning-powered runbook automation is a great example. At a very basic level, incident response is all about completing repetitive tasks, such as restarting servers, copying artifacts, running scripts and manipulating files. By intelligently capturing these processes and documenting them into runbooks, they can be automatically executed by responders other than SMEs.

Democratizing incident response in this way could have a major impact on MTTR. First responders spend an average of 15 minutes triaging an alert when it first comes in before escalating to a SME who spends another 15 minutes running diagnostics. But by running automated workflows from the outset, first responders could collect that information straight away and potentially fix recurring problems using automated remediation. If not, they can escalate to the SME with the information they need to start working on fixing the issue immediately.

In the most mature organizations, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) can even be used to remediate commonly occurring incidents before responders are even paged. In this scenario, escalations to SMEs and developers only occur for unusual and complex problems.

This is not an overnight journey. Yes, the right tools will go a long way to achieving these goals, but organizations might also have to overcome cultural barriers, which can take longer. The key is to start small with achievable goals, learning as you go. Organizations need to walk before they can run.

That could mean starting with simple, low-risk automated diagnostics that have no impact on service performance or availability, and which require little processing. With automation that runs commands, gathers log information and tackles other common troubleshooting steps, teams can reduce MTTR and potentially avoid mobilizing some responders if nothing out of the ordinary is discovered.

From there, organizations could move to reflex actions for the most common problems (for example, removing temp files to clear up disk space). Once those simpler problem signatures are codified, they can move to automating multistep sequences for remediating common problems. And only automate complex actions with a potentially major impact on performance or availability after successfully working through those earlier stages.

The bottom line is that machines are faster than humans at some tasks, and they dont mind work that is boring and repetitive. Organizations able to use this to their advantage through AI, ML and automation will unleash the talent on their incident response teams while improving IT resilience and adaptiveness. Thats the way not only to happier customers and a burnished brand reputation, but more motivated staff with more time to spend on innovation. And in the post-pandemic digital world, innovation will be key to survival.

The BotsAndUs stand at IntraLogisteX was a hive of activity all day on the second and final day of the countrys leading intralogistics exhibition, taking place at the Coventry Building Society Arena on 29th and 30th March 2022.

Oana Jinga, Co-Founder, took time out to explain the rationale behind the companys robotic solution that captured the attention of so many visitors.

BotsAndUs technology focuses on data capturing and automation through fleets of autonomous robots that work alongside people and machinery in warehouse environments without workflow disruption, she explained. The data-gathering robot accelerates productivity, reduces unnecessary time spent processing and tracking and allows businesses to drive better business decisions. Existing customers include Huboo, MediaMarkt Saturn, British Airways, dnata.

At BotsAndUs, we have created a robot that accelerates productivity, reduces unnecessary time spent processing and tracking and allows businesses to drive better decisions. At the moment, our focus is on how we can enhance Mim (our data Robot) and our platform.

Mim is a fully autonomous mobile and modular robot that measures, tracks and finds goods at every stage of the process (delivery, storage and picking). Mim collects data in real-time on parcels, pallets and products as they pass through the warehouse and provides information on their conditions, volume and dimensions as well as their locations on the shelves.

The robots navigate among people and machinery, without workflow disruption and continuously map and scan the warehouse. The data is easily accessible or integrated straight into the WMS, so it can be analysed instantly from anywhere and allows teams to obtain full inventory visibility.

This has been an exciting time for BotsAndUs at IntraLogisteX as we presented the latest version of our autonomous robot, Mim, and its new use cases in warehouse environments. We were pleased to be able to let visitors meet Mim, and see its various features (pallet scanning and shelves scanning).

Visitors were able to see for themselves the advantages it brings to the table in terms of productivity, stock and order management. Were pleased they were able to see our platform as a solution that makes warehouse workers workdays easier so they can focus on tasks that truly matter, rather than replacing them from operations.

Automation captures the imagination at IntraLogisteX 2022 - Logistics Manager

Daniel Seiler, the former managing director of IDS, has been appointed CEO of Automation Technology.

He takes over from co-founder Michael Wandelt, who steps down after 24 years in role. Wandelt remains at the company and will be responsible for infrared product management.

Seiler will lead the Bad Oldesloe-based firm alongside CTO and founder, Dr-Ing Andr Kasper.

Seiler commented: AT's products have enormous growth potential and I am very excited to push further development together with AT's dedicated team. I am particularly fascinated by the fact that our 3D sensors and infrared cameras are used in almost every industry and that we have developed very exciting applications.

Seiler studied electrical engineering with a focus on communications engineering in Darmstadt, and later completed an executive MBA in Frankfurt. He has been working in the image processing industry for many years.

Starting as an application engineer at IDS Imaging Development Systems in 2005, Seiler led the US site in Boston and was then promoted to managing director.

After leaving IDS, he spent two years as CEO at the laser technology start-up Cycle, while at the same time supporting AT as a member of the advisory board.

Wandelt said it was a logical step for Seiler to take over from him as CEO. Wandelt commented: Through his business development in the US, he brings exactly the expertise that we need for our expansion plans.

The management team aims to strengthen Automation Technology and expand its product portfolio. It plans to launch its C6 3D camera series in the summer.
