e hear people complain these days that
Weverything is becoming automated. The robots
are taking our jobs away. The AI is coming for
us all! The 'Terminator Scenario,' and all that doom and
gloom.
The debate of 'will AI automate our jobs away?' is heating
up by the day. But without throwing caution to the wind, I
think that we should not be scared of this process of
widescale automation. After all, this is just evolution
running its course. We are creating artificial minds that can
accomplish astonishing feats so that our minds and bodies
don't have to. Minds that are not limited by our physicality,
our tendency to err, our biology, or even the existential
dread which we call 'the human condition.'
This is the transformation that automation promises, and it
is speeding up at an exponential rate. From improving
workplace efficiency to aiding in completing projects on
time, from delivering products to enhancing the customer
experience, automation is proving to be a colossal disruptor
in businesses arenas.
The advantages of automation are abundant. Automation
reduces time, effort, and cost, improving the operational
efficiency of businesses. Recurring tasks can be completed
faster. Optimally automated processes ensure high-quality
results as the aspect of human error is minimal.
The Exponents of Evolution

Repetitive tasks can become boring and tedious. A company
can allocate more engaging activities to its employees by
automating tasks, thus uplifting employee satisfaction.
Happier employees, efficient operations, and superior
quality of work all enable teams to focus on improving
customer satisfaction.
This is the modern workforce, and automation companies
are the foremost champions leading the evolution. These
companies use software applications to automate business
processes so as to not waste human effort to do mundane
tasks, freeing the human intellect to focus on more
important tasks and responsibilities.
Today, the widespread adoption of industrial automation is
witnessing steady growth with the dawn of exciting new
trends such as Industry 4.0, IoT, 5G, smart devices, and the
high demand for large-scale mass production across various
industries. Sufficed to say, the demand for automation
companies is at an all-time high.
Meeting this demand is Randek – a pioneer in creating
innovative automation solutions for customers within the
prefabricated house manufacturing industry. One of the
world's leading suppliers of high-performance machines,
Randek primarily leverages its technology to build the most

Randek has products from manual systems to
fully automatic ones. It has a robust
technology platform (software, mechanical
design, etc.) developed over decades and a
strong market presence.
Little did any of us imagine that the sci-fi movies
we watched in childhood would become a
reality. But it is a fact that we are witnessing
emerging technologies in every sector every day, and the
saying, ‘swim against the tide,’ cannot be applied here if
you want to be successful. The automation industry is no
exception to this fact.
Technology has made one thing loud and clear for the
automation industry - if manufacturers want to have a
stronghold in Industry 4.0 revolution, it is imperative to
incorporate technologies like artificial intelligence,
machine learning, and the like.
Ahead of the race in the automation industry is Randek,
a pioneer in creating innovative automation solutions for
its customers. We had the opportunity to learn more
about how the company is leveraging technologies to
deliver its best and stand out of the herd.

Technology has emerged as a blessing, making our
life easier and simple, and robotics is one of the
significant examples. Even during the pandemic,
robotics and automation has provided excellent results in
every field whether it is healthcare, education, or logistics.
One prominent European leader in the robotics space is
Axyn Robotique, promoting the concept of 'Robotics for
Human'.
In the following interview, Frank Anjeaux the Founder
and CEO sheds light on the company's journey, the current
industry scenario, and his vision for the company's future.
Please brief our audience about Axyn Robotique, its
USPs, and how it is currently positioned as a leading
provider of automation solutions.
Axyn Robotique is a French-based start-up created around
the project of proposing innovative robotic solutions to the
many. The whole DNA of the company is written around
the objective of creating real usage value rather than
sophisticated but purposeless technical objects.
We have therefore designed our products only after in-depth
consultation with real players in various fields such as
Education, Health, or Industry 4.0 sectors. Axyn is today
one of the prominent European leaders in telepresence
robots. We intend to reach very soon a similar position in
the intelligent logistic robots offering.
Tell us more about the products and services through
which you have ascertained your stronghold within the
automation space.
Today we offer to the European market two main types of
robotic solutions:
Axyn

1-The Ubbo Range of telepresence robots (Ubbo Maker,
Ubbo Expert, and Edmo) and
2-The Lobo Range of autonomous logistic devices
All these products are entirely designed and manufactured
at Axyn's premises near Aix-en-Provence in the South of
France. They all have in common their high versatility. As a
matter of fact, we take the benefits of our fully modular
robot base to custom-build a version for each specific
application.
This is how we have developed Edmo to meet specific
needs around the education sector in conjunction with the
French Ministry of Education. A version of Ubbo Expert
was developed to meet the need of the fast-growing
Industry 4.0 has been elaborated with Capgemini or
another one was proposed to meet the specific need in
senior houses and various players of the silver
economy.
There are as of date over 800 robots in action in
those various fields. One of our strongholds on the
automation market today is the capacity of Axyn
to merge both our strong points such as
telepresence and autonomous robot into one
One of Axyn's strongholds in the

single combined solution that offers a unique ability to
create unprecedented usage value in several different
applications.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on why
the adoption of technologies such as AI and machine
learning is necessary for the automation services
industry and how you have leveraged these technologies
to deliver your products/services/solutions?
The adoption of AI and machine learning technologies is
not a necessity, at least today. Several manufacturing
processes and industries fundamentally do not need
artificial intelligence. It is therefore essential for the success
of this transition not to go overboard in wanting to switch to
all "AI".
On the other hand, its paced and careful introduction can
revolutionize the industrial world as it is today. The
important factors on which it is necessary to impact are the
arduousness of human work and the cost of labor. AI with
robotics can go a long way to improving this.
Today, the low cost of labor has allowed countries like
China to develop tremendously, becoming in a few decades'
major world economic players. This has not been without
causing significant ecological problems, a considerable
reduction in the industrial activity in Europe and North
America, and therefore economic dependence vis-à-vis
these same countries.
Artificial intelligence coupled with mechatronic devices
such as robots allows and will increasingly allow the
performance of automatic tasks. This automation will lead
to considerable reductions in labor costs.
But this transition must be made in a thoughtful way by
focusing on tasks that have a significant ROI and those that
have no real added value, such as repetitive, daunting,
and/or dangerous tasks. It is indeed necessary to consider
the human side.
The use of artificial intelligence and automation should not
have the objective of replacing man but of relieving him in
his daily life. Otherwise, the use of AI could cause more
problems than it solves, such as unemployment.
If these considerations are considered, artificial intelligence
will revolutionize the global industry. For example, it will
be possible for a small company to acquire a multi-tasking
industrial system capable of carrying out in-situ what today
requires several processes carried out by several
manufacturers and hence further reduce costs.
It will thus be possible to produce industrial products as
easily as prototypes. The number of parts to be
manufactured can then be less impacting on their unit price.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, what challenges
did you face, and how are you currently driving your
company to sustain operations while ensuring the safety
of your employees?
COVID-19 is at the same time an opportunity and a
challenge for us. It is an opportunity in the way that it has
stressed the need for efficient long-distance communication
media actively helping to maintain social and professional
links and interaction without physical presence.
Our telepresence robots are currently helping many patients
to connect with their distant families and many distant
workers to interact with their distant companies and
colleagues. As far as internal organization is concerned,
although we remain a relatively small-scale company
COVID has been a challenge.
We have implemented all regulatory safety measures (and
beyond) and did not experience a significant impact on our
production flow. Some of our components and parts have
suffered delays in deliveries but not to the extent of
significantly impacting the production cycle.
It must be pointed out that we have received large and very
helpful support from both public and private sector
partners/vendors that have greatly helped Axyn in those
difficult periods.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
who aspire to venture into the automation solutions
niche?
The crucial point is not to neglect the industrialization
phase. With today's tools such as 3D printers, easily
programmable and inexpensive electronic boards, it has
become very easy to go from an idea to a working
prototype.
This has allowed many innovative solutions to emerging
and has helped the creation of many startups. This ease of
implementation has nevertheless had a negative effect on
some entrepreneurs who believe that, if their system works,
it is then enough to sell it.
However, industrialization, which is the intermediate stage
between the two phases (creation and market introduction),
| February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com

is essential for the success of the project. It optimizes the
product to allow profitable manufacturing in greater or
lesser quantities.
This can generate tooling and manufacturing costs that must
be considered in the ROI. Besides that, there is the
normative aspect that should not be overlooked, especially
in automation. The safety of people, the materials used, the
actual usages are factors to be considered for the success of
the project.
How do you envision scaling your company's operations
and offerings in 2022?
The year 2022 will be a scale changer for Axyn. The Lobo
range of autonomous robots will enter its first full
production year with a serial version to be released in the
market.
Several large projects that were maturing in 2020 and 2021
with prestigious partners such as Orange (French Telecom
operator), Capgemini, Schneider Electric, and several
others will reach their full potential in this coming year.
This will lead to a significant increase in both volumes of
production and obliviously turn-over.
In the Health sector:
The direct testimony of Dr. Pascal Meyer, Anesthetist
Physician at Forcilles Hospital (Cognacq-Jay Foundation):
"We used the Ubbo robot in the post-intensive care
rehabilitation unit during confinement when family visits
were prohibited. Our patients are people with a
tracheostomy. Most have a physical disability that does not
allow them to hold a smartphone. We have allowed many
people to see their loved ones and have expanded the
possibilities of visitation. A videoconference was made over
3500 kilometers. This visit would never have happened
without the robot. It has many advantages:
- First: Ease
For family and caregivers, it is easy to use. The family
opens an account on the AXYN website. The procedure is
very simple. The role of caregivers is limited to turning on
the robot and bringing it to the patient's room.
Videoconferencing does not generate an additional
workload that would affect other activities.
- Second: The practical aspect of communication.
Indeed, the head of the robot is placed at a suitable height
for a bedridden person or in an armchair. So that the sick
person does not have to make the effort of turning his head
to direct his sight. The robot's head is mobile, controlled by
the pilot, in our case, the family. It is much more practical
than fixed head solutions that require human intervention to
control the screen."
In the industry sector:
Feedback from Virginie Rigaudeau, Hub Manager at
Schneider Electric (France):
"We use the Ubbo robot for formal or informal interaction
between distant users and factory team members on a
regular basis in many different locations within the factory.
It can be internal users, distant customers. They can enjoy a
truly immersive interaction with the personnel on-site."
"We really have the feeling that the distant user is with us.
A real nice and simple solution for an actual interaction
between the local team and distant users.”

The new-age automation has proved its mettle in
revolutionizing businesses with a promise of
fruitful outcomes. Redefining itself since time and
tide, automatizing industrial processes has eased out human
effort.
As the Greeks and Arabs between 300 BC and 1200 AD
were obsessed with keeping precise time records. In 270
BC, a float-regulator was introduced for a water clock in
Ptolemaic Egypt. The device was like a ball and cock in a
modern flush toilet. This was the first feedback-controlled
system ever devised.
To reduce human intervention, the use of tools and gadgets
has always been practiced. But automation takes a step
further in producing a wide range of technologies that
minimizes human involvement in processes.
The automation industry keeps evolving with growing
expectations.
Follow the trail to know the rising 7 trends in the
automation industry.
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is a technologically augmented
version of the real world that is created using digital visual
elements, music, or other sensory stimulation. It is a
developing trend among businesses that deal with mobile
computing and commercial apps.
New applications for augmented reality are constantly
emerging. AR will likely become increasingly more
incorporated into sales in the next years. The new normal
has changed the way we cooperate and learn, which is one
of the main reasons why this automation trend will
continue.
According to recent data, there will be an estimated 1.7
billion mobile AR users in the world by 2024, up from 200
million in 2015. And there will be an estimated 1.1 billion
mobile AR users in the world in 2022.
Process Intelligence
Data that has been methodically collected to assess the
individual steps of a business process or operational
workflow is known as process intelligence.
Process intelligence can aid in the identification of
bottlenecks and the improvement of operational efficiency.
Automa on 2022
| February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com
21
Process intelligence's goal is to provide an organization
with accurate information about what work items exist, who
performs the work, how long it takes to complete the work,
and what the average wait time is.
Process intelligence is a sort of automation that eliminates
the guesswork in areas like personnel, budgeting, and SLA
estimates, among other things. Process intelligence will
become a necessity as firms strive to transform every
process into one that can be automated.
Robotic Process Automation
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a software
technology that allows anyone to automate digital
operations.
RPA is a broad approach to automation development.
Robots can handle everything from data identification to
allocation, which is why they can contribute to the majority
of workplace automation. Given that RPA can help boost
employee productivity by automating duplicate work, it's
safe to assume that usage of the technology will skyrocket
by 2022.
Hyper-Automation
Organizations make use of hyper-automation to quickly
discover, assess, and automate as many business and IT
activities as possible. It is a business-driven, disciplined
strategy. Hyper-automation entails the coordinated use of a
variety of technologies, tools, and platforms, such as
artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and event-
driven software architecture.
Its capacity to help companies automate end-to-end
operations and manage complex support across several
platforms is also worth mentioning. Because of this, hyper-
automation is likely to become increasingly popular in the
next years.
Big Data Automation
Big data is a multibillion-dollar industry. The amount of
data collected by a company's business units, applications,
and external sources is rapidly increasing. From digital
customer transactions and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors
to social interactions and support services, it's everywhere.
And it's not going to stop: more and more applications, for
example, are being hosted as a service on the cloud and
within Hadoop clusters.
With the IoT increasing the stream velocity of data, big data
automation is becoming a must for practically every
enterprise. While customers want immediate data access for
analysis, the full value of data can only be harvested and
managed through sophisticated and advanced data
automation.
Cybersecurity Automation
Cyberattacks in the modern day have become more
automated. If businesses try to defend against these attacks
manually, the battle becomes one of man vs machine, with
the odds stacked against them.
Automation is seen by many security suppliers as a way to
improve efficiency and reduce staff or headcount. The surge
in threats, as well as the very real cost of a data leak, has
prompted machine manufacturers to implement
increasingly strict cybersecurity safeguards. In order to
combat cybersecurity breaches, businesses are enhancing
staff training and providing full information to consumers
and suppliers.
Sustainability
Many businesses have adopted sustainability goals.
Furthermore, when sustainability becomes a top issue on a
global scale, automation proves to be a fantastic tool for
gaining a better knowledge of an organization's operations
and implementing the necessary changes.
Costs of energy and materials continue to grow, regulations
tighten, and automation will shift toward more sustainable
and renewable energy sources by 2022. Industrial Internet
of Things (IIoT) technology can aid in the development of
solutions that minimize energy consumption, improve
mechanical efficiency, and reduce waste.
Acing the market
In today's environment, the competition between the
industries is increasing rapidly. This competition demands
high-quality and consistent products with a competitive
price. In a hyper-competitive ecosystem, automation will
enhance connectivity and reliability. Everything will be
accessible and readily available in the future of automation,
which appears to be encouraging Embrace out on a journey
of seamless business solutions with the latest trends of
automation.

Mike, Christian, please brief us about your individual
journey's in the industry and how have you contributed
towards the company's success.
Mike Becker: I am the Co-Founder of doks with 8 years of
experience in the drone industries mainly involved in
Software and Hardware. I am leading the software team to
create the best solution for autonomous inventory
management on the market.
Christian Sproedt: I am Christian Sproedt, have been in the
logistics industry for 10 years. Master of Technical
Logistics and hold positions in project planning and
purchasing, last position is head of contract logistics at
consulting company.
I am totally convinced that logistics must be more open to
new technologies and autonomous solutions. Logistics
service providers not doing this will vanish from the
market.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on why
the adoption of technologies such as AI and machine
learning is necessary for the automation services
industry and how you have leveraged these technologies
to deliver your products/services/solutions?
It is getting tougher and tougher to get staff to do many
jobs, especially in the logistics industry. With AI and
machine learning many tasks can be automated and the staff
can focus on more valuable tasks. Especially the
stocktaking process is a non-valuable task, which must be
done. Automize these tasks leave the staff more room to add
value to the company.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, what challenges
did you face, and how are you currently driving your
company to sustain operations while ensuring the safety
of your employees?
Covid was and is challenging as the option for testing at
warehouses and presenting our products are mainly
reduced. Therefore, the development of new features was
slowed down as the testing time was reduced.
On the other hand, it is a great opportunity to show and
prove that automated and autonomous solutions have a
huge benefit – as no one must attend. Overall, we would say
the autonomous concepts become more accepted during the
pandemic phase.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
who aspire to venture into the automation solutions
niche?
Find a process to automate and just try it. There is always
room to improve processes.
How do you envision scaling your company's operations
and offerings in 2022?
Currently, focus on nearby customers with a focus on
Central EU and the UK to have a high level of support and
end of 2022 add Scandinavia and the first oversea regions.
Central for us is that we can offer a product that does not
need daily service or support but can operate the whole year
with only a yearly check-up.
Inventory management by flexible drone is starting to
gather serious weight as a workable concept and will scale
up with each positive comment of customers using it on a
regular basis.Of course, there will be also a new feature,
which is in development. For example, we plan to detect
rack damages with the systems and do box counting.

Fizyr B. V.
Automating Human Tasks by Developing High-quality
Computer Vision Software
here were the days when industrialization was a
Tsynonym of textile industry only, and the artisans
were the industrial workers. But the industrial
revolution invented power looms, and the juggernaut of
automation began its journey. Back-to-back industrial
revolutions transformed the medieval world into the
modern age. The first three of them, i.e., the steam engine,
age of science, and mass production, accelerated the world-
saving human efforts, costs, and money.
However, the juggernaut of automation kept traveling, and
today, it has reached the station, where the globe is digital –
the fourth industrial revolution. Human efforts were first
replaced by animals, animals replaced by machines, and to
control these machines, robots arrived. Today, these robots
are deployed in every sector, especially to perform repeti-
tive tasks. These robots can move in six degrees of freedom
and operate in X, Y, and Z planes.
In this fast-paced world, time is money, and these robots
help to save time by performing repetitive tasks. However,
they follow the path which is inscribed by the software
programs. Looking at the growing market, many companies
started to provide software to automate robotic movements.
Fizyr is one such company that offers a standardized
software product, based on artificial intelligence, that
allows robots to cope with high variation of objects in
automated picking and placing applications.
In our quest for ‘The 10 Most Disruptive Automation
Companies to Watch’, Mr. Herbert Ten Have, CEO of
Fizyr, shared his endeavor with us. He elaborated on the
company's work culture and the future aspects. Following
are the details of the interview:
Please brief our audience about Fizyr, its USPs, and how
it is currently positioned as a leading provider of
automation solutions.
Fizyr designs, builds, and installs a standardized computer-
vision software that detects unknown objects varying in
shape, size, colour, material or stacking. Its robust algo-
rithms provide over 100 applicable grasp poses each
second, including classification to handle objects differ-
ently, while performing quality controls. Just as the camera
and gripper are the eyes and arms of a robot, the vision
software is the brain that analyzes the image and directs the
robot to move accordingly. Fizyr is trusted as a strategic
partner by global leading integrators, thanks to its fully
scalable and proven software-only product, for which we
provide full insight and control to install, manage, update
and support. We empower system integrators to build
cutting-edge solutions for the industry’s end users, in
multiple high-demand industries, such as e-commerce,
micro-fulfilment, parcel handling and more.
We o er a
standardized AI-based
software product that allows
robots to cope with high
variation of objects in
automated picking and
placing applications.

Tell us more about the products and services through
which you have ascertained your stronghold within the
automation space.
In such a rapidly growing market, logistics companies
expect robots to perform their tasks as predicted and agreed.
Applying Fizyr’s product is a strategic choice for which we
provide full insight and control to install, manage, update
and support. We license a standardized product for auto-
mated picking, placing, and stacking to system integrators
and end users. Our computer-vision software is trained with
a unique dataset with millions of images of challenging
logistics environments, proposing the best possible grasp
poses. Applied in production all over the world, it empow-
ers the robotic automation of leading system integrators and
end users, in online retail, warehousing and parcel services.
Fizyr’s software is also hardware agnostic, giving clients
the freedom to choose the best camera, robot, and gripper
for their automated picking cell. We believe in the value of
Fizyr’s independency and want our clients to be able to use
open standards and choose their hardware to assemble the
best possible picking cells.
Although the company purely focuses on software, Fizyr
also licenses the designs to modify, 3D print, and assemble
its proprietary gripper. This gripper can handle challenging
situations, ensuring ease in integration with any robot in a
picking cell.
Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on why
the adoption of technologies such as AI and machine
learning is necessary for the automation services
industry and how you have leveraged these technologies
to deliver your products/services/solutions?
The items and parcels tend to have a huge variation in terms
of sizes, materials, colors, and placement, which traditional
logistics systems cannot account for. In e-commerce, there
are millions of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), thousands of
which cannot be programmed. Therefore, the adoption of
technologies such as AI and deep learning has the potential
to change the face of the industry.
Fizyr’s neural network is trained to classify an object,
strategize the pressure required to pick it, and propose the
best possible grasp poses to singulate it from bulk. One of
the initial projects managed by Fizyr in 2017 involved
enabling robots to work 24/7 and fold up to 720 towels per
hour with Laundry Robotics. Fizyr’s computer vision
algorithms were able to propose over 100 grasp poses each
second on unknown objects.
Fizyr’s CEO, Herbert Ten Have, joined Fizyr
(previously called Delft Robotics) in January
2017. Delft Robotics started as a robotics integra-
tor. Within a month of Herbert’s arrival, the
company won the prestigious Amazon Picking
Challenge. This led to the company pivoting
towards a deep-learning computer vision soft-
ware-only product and re-branding to Fizyr.
Herbert is an innovative business leader with
more than three decades of experience in building
high-tech products and services.
Thanks to his expertise and knowledge of the
industry, he geared the brilliant Delft Robotics
team towards success, thus, leading to an unprec-
edented impact on the automation industry. He
proactively engaged the company in recognizing
industry problems and solving them while staying
committed to building the best vision software
product and provide cutting-edge robotic picking
solutions for the logistics industry.

Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, what challenges
did you face, and how are you currently driving Fizyr to
sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your
employees?
One of the major challenges faced by the company was the
termination of a project by an Italy-based client due to the
dire consequences at the start of the pandemic. Conse-
quently, other clients hesitated to continue project opera-
tions as they required hardware components, such as
cameras, grippers, robots, etc., to conduct research and
development. The first few months were uncertain, and
later, several clients saw the opportunity for growth in in e-
commerce, micro-fulfilment and parcel handling.
Those clients motivated Fizyr to scale up its processes even
faster and offer robotic solutions to the dynamic industry.
Meanwhile, the Fizyr team was working from home and
would only work from the office if absolutely necessary. At
that time, the huge office space in the pandemic was
reserved for specific purposes. With the restrictions easing
down in the Netherlands and the high vaccination rate,
people are moving back to the office on a flexible basis.
What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs
who aspire to venture into the automation solutions
niche?
Herbert highlights the importance of validating assump-
tions, pushing the product to the market, and creating value
for the clients in the quickest way possible. The quicker the
entrepreneurs identify opportunities, the better they get to
approach the clients in an early phase and acquire the
market before facing any consequences later. Understand-
ing the requirements of the clients from the beginning can
stimulate company growth, improve partnerships, and help
build relations with potential clients.
How do you envision scaling Fizyr’s operations and
offerings in 2022 and beyond?
The fast growth of e-commerce and parcel handling has
exacerbated the human labor shortage, which is expected to
keep rising. As a response, an increasing number of
companies have started to adopt robotic automation and
implement solutions for automating picking and placing
applications both in e-fulfilment and parcel handling. We
believe we have solved one of the biggest challenges in
logistics and we hope to empower as many integrators and
end users worldwide as possible, in an effort to relieve the
pressures of the industry. The product and market are ready,
so we plan to scale exponentially in the upcoming years,
reflecting such a rapid growth.
Fizyr remains dedicated to training, upskilling, and helping
employees thrive in the fast-moving industry of AI and
logistics. The company aims to focus on predictable and
scalable processes to resolve challenging situations and
contribute to the industry.

Artificial
Intelligence,
Automation,
and the Futer of Work
Rising through the tides of the industrial revolution
and climbing the ladder of digital transformation,
Artificial Intelligence has sprouted new
opportunities to predict the future.
While no one knows what artificial intelligence holds for
the future of work, there is a hope of utilizing AI
technology to boost employment opportunities. This may
also develop new lines of businesses that we cannot
understand currently by providing new tools for
entrepreneurs.
Companies and society face threats and opportunities
because of this rapid transformation. These efficiency gains
are critical for society's long-term growth, particularly in
economies with rising populations. However, as highly
skilled specialist jobs that complement new technologies
grow, low-skilled and low-paying jobs that are not suitable
for automation remain, and everything in between is
rendered obsolete. This poses a risk of increment in
significant social inequality and hollowing out the labor
market.
Along with the threats of AI, there are multiples benefits
that facilitate mitigating human labor and pushing a
progressive approach.

Redefining Human Intelligence with AI Support
With an ability of a computer or a computer-controlled
robot to complete tasks that would normally be done by an
intelligent being, AI aims at creating systems with human-
like cognitive abilities, such as the ability to reason, discern
meaning, generalize, and learn from past experiences.
Since the invention of the digital computer in the 1940s, it
has been proved that computers can be programmed to
perform extremely complicated jobs with ease, such as
finding proofs for mathematical theorems or playing chess
and the list goes on.
Opening up new frontiers of development for the IT
industry, automation has been an eyepopping experience in
business operation and end-consumer experience.
Automating Experiences
Automation is the development and deployment of
technologies that allow goods and services to be produced
and delivered with little or no human interaction. Many
tasks that were previously performed by people are now
more efficient, reliable, and fast because of the use of
automation technologies, techniques, and procedures.
Like the progression of the human life cycle, artificial
intelligence will have both beneficial and negative effects
on society as it continues to reshape the environment we
live in. It's anyone's guess how that will balance out, and it's
a topic of great debate and thought among many
individuals.
The Boom and Bust of AI
Our workforce will undoubtedly evolve because of artificial
intelligence. The alarmist headlines focus on the loss of
human employment, replaced by robots, but the actual issue
for humans is to discover new duties that demand their
distinctively human qualities.
Our workforce will undoubtedly evolve because of artificial
intelligence. The alarmist headlines focus on the loss of
employment to robots, but the actual issue for humans is to
discover new duties that demand their distinctively human
qualities. This uncertainty, as well as the changes in how
some people will make a living, could be difficult to deal
with.
Artificial intelligence's transformational impact on our
society will have far-reaching economic, legal, political,
and regulatory effects that we must examine and plan for.
The issues include determining who is to blame if an
autonomous vehicle injures a pedestrian and manages a
worldwide autonomous weapons race, to name a few.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly
increase the efficiency of our workplaces while also
augmenting the job that humans can accomplish. When AI
takes over mundane or dangerous duties, it frees up the
human labor to focus on tasks that require creativity and
empathy, among other skills. People's happiness and job
satisfaction may enhance if they are doing work that they
enjoy.
With the introduction of autonomous transportation and AI
affecting our traffic congestion concerns, not to mention the
various ways it will boost on-the-job productivity, our
society will gain countless hours of production. Humans
will be able to spend their time in a variety of ways now
that they are no longer bound by uncomfortable commutes.
Predicting the Future of Work
Understanding emerging technologies is the first step
toward future-readiness and artificial intelligence is at the
center of sustainable businesses with socio-economic
development fruition. Understanding its powers and
limitations is critically significant.
Many of the employments we see in the market today will
most likely be replaced or transformed by AI technology.
The bulk of employment, on the other hand, will not be
replaced by AI technology but rather assisted by it, allowing
employees to improve their performance and sprout
efficient solutions.
AI has an ensuring future for every industry that moves
ahead towards a prosperous future. if you are mapping to
skyrocket your business experience, AI is your solution.

Bl ckchains
- the future of
sustainable
blockchains
- by Raj Kapoor –Founder, India Blockchain Alliance
Blockchain is a revolutionary disruptive technology
and represents a change of cultural paradigm for the
way in which information is shared. Companies are
rushing to understand how they can use blockchain
distributed ledger technology to innovate processes,
products, and transactions. In a globalized world where
environmental sustainability is a critical success factor,
what is the role of the blockchain?
I’m truly passionate about blockchain’s potential to create
positive system change. Add to the above the power to
incentivise a circular economy and revolutionise the
distribution of charitable donations – and we’re still seeing
only the tip of the proverbial iceberg of world-changing
applications that will be enabled by blockchains.
Having said that, we all are aware that most concerning
implication of blockchain technology for the environment
relates to its energy consumption and, therefore, its possible
negative impact on climate.
However, bitcoin and other similar public blockchains have
one huge flaw – they use an extremely large and growing
amount of energy. The way in which transactions are
secured on the blockchain is highly energy intensive. In
fact, blockchains currently account for 0.58% of global
electricity consumption, whilst Bitcoin mining alone
consumes almost as much energy as the entire U.S. federal
government!
This means that today, when it comes to discussing
sustainability and blockchain tech, we have to balance the
longer-term systemic benefits against today’s urgent need to
reduce fossil fuel consumption. Blockchain has reached a
critical mass of complaints about its sustainability issue.
Although surrounded by virtuous intentions to upend the
status quo and offer an alternative to an unjust global
financial system controlled by central banks and politicians,
blockchain is facing severe criticism from environmental
proponents for its high energy use.
Like other emerging ICT-based technologies, blockchain
also raises concerns about electronic waste (e-waste).
Competing miners require more and more efficient mining
hardware, leading to quick obsolescence, roughly every 1.5
years.
The key is to make a transition towards green recovery and
co-exist with nature. Anything short will not suffice. In fact,
this should be a prerequisite for a global sustainable
development pathway.

consensus mechanism which does away with the
energy-intensive mining process required by ‘Proof of
Work’, relying instead on network actors staking financial
assets on their own future trustworthiness. The Ethereum
community, users of the world’s second-largest
cryptocurrency, have already invested close to $9bn in
transferring to Proof of Stake reducing costs by over 90%.
There’s also a conscious drive amongst the crypto
community to address the type of energy being consumed
(or better, to use the technology to accelerate adoption of
greener energies). Last month, the newly launched Crypto
Climate Accord—including Ripple, World Economic
Forum, Consensys, Coin Shares and Energy Web
Foundation—announced its goal for all of the world’s
blockchains to be powered by 100% renewables by 2025.
The Shifting Paradigm
The current standard process of transaction verification,
based on the proof-of-work algorithm, is ‘extremely energy
hungry’. And this is definitely harmful for the environment.
As the adoption of blockchain technology gains
momentum, it could counteract climate change mitigation
efforts, as electricity remains largely generated from fossil
fuels worldwide.
Bitcoin was claimed to be 20 000 times more energy
intensive than Visa. Nevertheless, Bitcoin is only one
cryptocurrency, which is only one application of
blockchain. We can only imagine the impact going forward.
The “greening” of the blockchains kicked off with one of
the most promising solutions – ‘Proof of Stake’, a
From the Expert

The Solutions for Today
In fact, there are some blockchains that have been ahead of
this curve and are actually making that impact. One that
catches the eye is 5irechain. Not only does 5irechain run on
a Sustainable Proof of Stake algorithm that does not require
mining, but also its consensus algorithm quantifies and
assigns its nodes based on a node’s Environmental, Social
and Governance (ESG) score. This slings seamlessly with
the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
It is important to note that there are other versions of the
Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm that do not
require mining for transaction validation such as the pure
PoS, the Delegated PoS, and the Nominated PoS, however,
the flaw in those algorithms is they have no consideration
for a transaction validators’ sustainability reputation, and
they inadvertently support cartelisation of consensus by
awarding transaction validation to those that stake the most.
This way, the largest holders of that particular
cryptocurrency will end up always winning the contest,
scoring even more of the rewards and keep getting richer.
The 5ire’s Sustainability Proof of Stake (SPoS) considers
the validators ESG score as 20% of the weight in selection
of node and include other factors to make the node selection
fairer. And it’s heartening to know that the Founders are
Indian and are aligned to the Indian Government’s
sustainability and climate impact initiatives.
I am particularly impressed with the 5irechain which calls
its consensus protocol the sustainable proof of stake
(SPoS). SPoS has been made more democratic by
considering multiple factors beyond the staked amount
when a node is assigned based on Stake, Reliability,
randomized voting, sustainability score (ESG), and
previous nomination.
This way, the SPoS provides major advantages over other
consensus algorithms. These advantages go beyond what
proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism provides over
proof of work (PoW) consensus mechanism.
This chain is the 5th generation of distributed computing
web 3.0 solution, a decentralized ecosystem that embeds
ESG metrics in the consensus level and aims to bring a
paradigm shift from a for-profit to a for-benefit economy.
Their goal is to create user-centric sustainability-driven &
interoperable public, private, and hybrid solutions. By
embedding sustainability both in the network’s base layers
and in the upper decision-making that democratically
commands the network forkless upgrades.
Their ecosystem also democratically empowers
self-governed DAOs that are actively working towards the
2030 UN SDGs Agenda implementation and provides them
the infrastructure to accelerate this vision. Now this should
be the fundamental premise of the blockchain technology if
it is to be sustainable and scalable.
5irechain is also aligned with the United Nations’ 17 global
goals. 5ire directly addresses social issues like education,
financial inclusion, poverty, education, climate, renewables,
solar amongst others and possibly the world's first
sustainable blockchain ecosystem. Not only is it aligned,
5ire has tokenized 17 SDG Goals and scraped data from
600 ESG points. Now that is innovation!
Going Forward
Today, we cannot afford to ignore blockchain’s growing
carbon footprint. However, with ambitious changes and
blockchains like 5ire both the volume and the type of
energy the technology uses, we could soon unleash tools
with the power to incentivise social and environmental
progress at scale. As with any new technology, blockchain’s
path from concept to practical enterprise solutions is not
always straight line.
Blockchain applications beneficial to renewable energy
diffusion, energy efficiency and the reduction of energy
consumption are also being explored. In fact, IBM and
Energy-Blockchain Labs are experimenting with a
blockchain-based green asset management platform for
trading carbon assets in China in a more efficient way.
EnergiMine has developed a blockchain-based rewards
system that uses digital tokens to incentivise consumers to
save energy. The issue remains whether these niche
initiatives will scale up and whether their benefits are offset
by blockchain’s own energy consumption.
But with incredibly exciting applications emerging every
day, and serious thought and investment going towards
reducing blockchain’s energy consumption, we can never
ignore the value it could bring. Blockchains have an
emerging role in sustainability by helping foster
collaborations between consumers and producers, by
assisting people in adopting more sustainable lifestyles, and
by helping companies improve their sourcing and recycling
practices.
With growing innovation in the blockchain space, India is
primed to make a major impact. ESG will be an essential
part of next-generation finance operations. ESG will drives
long-term returns. COP26 and the decisions around ESG
will bring a green innovation in blockchain and would place
India, at the forefront in aligning with the UN SDG’s. That
is a matter of pride, and we are happy to be a part of this
green tech revolution.

Building the Future with Disruptive Technologies: Randek's Automation Journey

  • 1. RANDEK Ola Lindh CEO Johan Larsholm Owner/Marke ng Manager 0 Automation 2022 Top 7 Trends in the Automation Industry 21st Century Workforce Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and the Future of Workx VOL 02 ISSUE 13 2022
  • 2.
  • 3.
  • 4. e hear people complain these days that Weverything is becoming automated. The robots are taking our jobs away. The AI is coming for us all! The 'Terminator Scenario,' and all that doom and gloom. The debate of 'will AI automate our jobs away?' is heating up by the day. But without throwing caution to the wind, I think that we should not be scared of this process of widescale automation. After all, this is just evolution running its course. We are creating artificial minds that can accomplish astonishing feats so that our minds and bodies don't have to. Minds that are not limited by our physicality, our tendency to err, our biology, or even the existential dread which we call 'the human condition.' This is the transformation that automation promises, and it is speeding up at an exponential rate. From improving workplace efficiency to aiding in completing projects on time, from delivering products to enhancing the customer experience, automation is proving to be a colossal disruptor in businesses arenas. The advantages of automation are abundant. Automation reduces time, effort, and cost, improving the operational efficiency of businesses. Recurring tasks can be completed faster. Optimally automated processes ensure high-quality results as the aspect of human error is minimal. The Exponents of Evolution VOL 02 ISSUE 13 2022

Even during the pandemic, robotics and automation has provided excellent results in every field whether it is healthcare, education, or logistics. One prominent European leader in the robotics space is Axyn Robotique, promoting the concept of 'Robotics for Human'. In the following interview, Frank Anjeaux the Founder and CEO sheds light on the company's journey, the current industry scenario, and his vision for the company's future. Please brief our audience about Axyn Robotique, its USPs, and how it is currently positioned as a leading provider of automation solutions. Axyn Robotique is a French-based start-up created around the project of proposing innovative robotic solutions to the many. The whole DNA of the company is written around the objective of creating real usage value rather than sophisticated but purposeless technical objects. We have therefore designed our products only after in-depth consultation with real players in various fields such as Education, Health, or Industry 4.0 sectors. Axyn is today one of the prominent European leaders in telepresence robots. We intend to reach very soon a similar position in the intelligent logistic robots offering. Tell us more about the products and services through which you have ascertained your stronghold within the automation space. Today we offer to the European market two main types of robotic solutions: Axyn Robotique A Leading Robotics and Automation Solution Provider 1-The Ubbo Range of telepresence robots (Ubbo Maker, Ubbo Expert, and Edmo) and 2-The Lobo Range of autonomous logistic devices All these products are entirely designed and manufactured at Axyn's premises near Aix-en-Provence in the South of France. They all have in common their high versatility. As a matter of fact, we take the benefits of our fully modular robot base to custom-build a version for each specific application. This is how we have developed Edmo to meet specific needs around the education sector in conjunction with the French Ministry of Education. A version of Ubbo Expert was developed to meet the need of the fast-growing Industry 4.0 has been elaborated with Capgemini or another one was proposed to meet the specific need in senior houses and various players of the silver economy. There are as of date over 800 robots in action in those various fields. One of our strongholds on the automation market today is the capacity of Axyn to merge both our strong points such as telepresence and autonomous robot into one One of Axyn's strongholds in the automation market today is the capacity to merge both its strong points such as telepresence and autonomous robot into one single combined solution. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 16

Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on why the adoption of technologies such as AI and machine learning is necessary for the automation services industry and how you have leveraged these technologies to deliver your products/services/solutions? The adoption of AI and machine learning technologies is not a necessity, at least today. Several manufacturing processes and industries fundamentally do not need artificial intelligence. It is therefore essential for the success of this transition not to go overboard in wanting to switch to all "AI". On the other hand, its paced and careful introduction can revolutionize the industrial world as it is today. The important factors on which it is necessary to impact are the arduousness of human work and the cost of labor. AI with robotics can go a long way to improving this. Today, the low cost of labor has allowed countries like China to develop tremendously, becoming in a few decades' major world economic players. This has not been without causing significant ecological problems, a considerable reduction in the industrial activity in Europe and North America, and therefore economic dependence vis-à-vis these same countries. Artificial intelligence coupled with mechatronic devices such as robots allows and will increasingly allow the performance of automatic tasks. This automation will lead to considerable reductions in labor costs. But this transition must be made in a thoughtful way by focusing on tasks that have a significant ROI and those that have no real added value, such as repetitive, daunting, and/or dangerous tasks. It is indeed necessary to consider the human side. The use of artificial intelligence and automation should not have the objective of replacing man but of relieving him in his daily life. Otherwise, the use of AI could cause more problems than it solves, such as unemployment. If these considerations are considered, artificial intelligence will revolutionize the global industry. For example, it will be possible for a small company to acquire a multi-tasking industrial system capable of carrying out in-situ what today requires several processes carried out by several manufacturers and hence further reduce costs. It will thus be possible to produce industrial products as easily as prototypes. The number of parts to be manufactured can then be less impacting on their unit price. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, what challenges did you face, and how are you currently driving your company to sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your employees? COVID-19 is at the same time an opportunity and a challenge for us. It is an opportunity in the way that it has stressed the need for efficient long-distance communication media actively helping to maintain social and professional links and interaction without physical presence. Our telepresence robots are currently helping many patients to connect with their distant families and many distant workers to interact with their distant companies and colleagues. As far as internal organization is concerned, although we remain a relatively small-scale company COVID has been a challenge. We have implemented all regulatory safety measures (and beyond) and did not experience a significant impact on our production flow. Some of our components and parts have suffered delays in deliveries but not to the extent of significantly impacting the production cycle. It must be pointed out that we have received large and very helpful support from both public and private sector partners/vendors that have greatly helped Axyn in those difficult periods. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the automation solutions niche? The crucial point is not to neglect the industrialization phase. With today's tools such as 3D printers, easily programmable and inexpensive electronic boards, it has become very easy to go from an idea to a working prototype. This has allowed many innovative solutions to emerging and has helped the creation of many startups. This ease of implementation has nevertheless had a negative effect on some entrepreneurs who believe that, if their system works, it is then enough to sell it. However, industrialization, which is the intermediate stage between the two phases (creation and market introduction), | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 18
  • 21. is essential for the success of the project. It optimizes the product to allow profitable manufacturing in greater or lesser quantities. This can generate tooling and manufacturing costs that must be considered in the ROI. Besides that, there is the normative aspect that should not be overlooked, especially in automation. The safety of people, the materials used, the actual usages are factors to be considered for the success of the project. How do you envision scaling your company's operations and offerings in 2022? The year 2022 will be a scale changer for Axyn. The Lobo range of autonomous robots will enter its first full production year with a serial version to be released in the market. Several large projects that were maturing in 2020 and 2021 with prestigious partners such as Orange (French Telecom operator), Capgemini, Schneider Electric, and several others will reach their full potential in this coming year. This will lead to a significant increase in both volumes of production and obliviously turn-over. In the Health sector: The direct testimony of Dr. Pascal Meyer, Anesthetist Physician at Forcilles Hospital (Cognacq-Jay Foundation): "We used the Ubbo robot in the post-intensive care rehabilitation unit during confinement when family visits were prohibited. Our patients are people with a tracheostomy. Most have a physical disability that does not allow them to hold a smartphone. We have allowed many people to see their loved ones and have expanded the possibilities of visitation. A videoconference was made over 3500 kilometers. This visit would never have happened without the robot. It has many advantages: - First: Ease For family and caregivers, it is easy to use. The family opens an account on the AXYN website. The procedure is very simple. The role of caregivers is limited to turning on the robot and bringing it to the patient's room. Videoconferencing does not generate an additional workload that would affect other activities. - Second: The practical aspect of communication. Indeed, the head of the robot is placed at a suitable height for a bedridden person or in an armchair. So that the sick person does not have to make the effort of turning his head to direct his sight. The robot's head is mobile, controlled by the pilot, in our case, the family. It is much more practical than fixed head solutions that require human intervention to control the screen." In the industry sector: Feedback from Virginie Rigaudeau, Hub Manager at Schneider Electric (France): "We use the Ubbo robot for formal or informal interaction between distant users and factory team members on a regular basis in many different locations within the factory. It can be internal users, distant customers. They can enjoy a truly immersive interaction with the personnel on-site." "We really have the feeling that the distant user is with us. A real nice and simple solution for an actual interaction between the local team and distant users.” | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 19

  • 23. The new-age automation has proved its mettle in revolutionizing businesses with a promise of fruitful outcomes. Redefining itself since time and tide, automatizing industrial processes has eased out human effort. As the Greeks and Arabs between 300 BC and 1200 AD were obsessed with keeping precise time records. In 270 BC, a float-regulator was introduced for a water clock in Ptolemaic Egypt. The device was like a ball and cock in a modern flush toilet. This was the first feedback-controlled system ever devised. To reduce human intervention, the use of tools and gadgets has always been practiced. But automation takes a step further in producing a wide range of technologies that minimizes human involvement in processes. The automation industry keeps evolving with growing expectations. Follow the trail to know the rising 7 trends in the automation industry. Augmented Reality Augmented reality (AR) is a technologically augmented version of the real world that is created using digital visual elements, music, or other sensory stimulation. It is a developing trend among businesses that deal with mobile computing and commercial apps. New applications for augmented reality are constantly emerging. AR will likely become increasingly more incorporated into sales in the next years. The new normal has changed the way we cooperate and learn, which is one of the main reasons why this automation trend will continue. According to recent data, there will be an estimated 1.7 billion mobile AR users in the world by 2024, up from 200 million in 2015. And there will be an estimated 1.1 billion mobile AR users in the world in 2022. Process Intelligence Data that has been methodically collected to assess the individual steps of a business process or operational workflow is known as process intelligence. Process intelligence can aid in the identification of bottlenecks and the improvement of operational efficiency. Automa on 2022 | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 21
  • 24. Process intelligence's goal is to provide an organization with accurate information about what work items exist, who performs the work, how long it takes to complete the work, and what the average wait time is. Process intelligence is a sort of automation that eliminates the guesswork in areas like personnel, budgeting, and SLA estimates, among other things. Process intelligence will become a necessity as firms strive to transform every process into one that can be automated. Robotic Process Automation Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a software technology that allows anyone to automate digital operations. RPA is a broad approach to automation development. Robots can handle everything from data identification to allocation, which is why they can contribute to the majority of workplace automation. Given that RPA can help boost employee productivity by automating duplicate work, it's safe to assume that usage of the technology will skyrocket by 2022. Hyper-Automation Organizations make use of hyper-automation to quickly discover, assess, and automate as many business and IT activities as possible. It is a business-driven, disciplined strategy. Hyper-automation entails the coordinated use of a variety of technologies, tools, and platforms, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and event- driven software architecture. Its capacity to help companies automate end-to-end operations and manage complex support across several platforms is also worth mentioning. Because of this, hyper- automation is likely to become increasingly popular in the next years. Big Data Automation Big data is a multibillion-dollar industry. The amount of data collected by a company's business units, applications, and external sources is rapidly increasing. From digital customer transactions and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to social interactions and support services, it's everywhere. And it's not going to stop: more and more applications, for example, are being hosted as a service on the cloud and within Hadoop clusters. With the IoT increasing the stream velocity of data, big data automation is becoming a must for practically every enterprise. While customers want immediate data access for analysis, the full value of data can only be harvested and managed through sophisticated and advanced data automation. Cybersecurity Automation Cyberattacks in the modern day have become more automated. If businesses try to defend against these attacks manually, the battle becomes one of man vs machine, with the odds stacked against them. Automation is seen by many security suppliers as a way to improve efficiency and reduce staff or headcount. The surge in threats, as well as the very real cost of a data leak, has prompted machine manufacturers to implement increasingly strict cybersecurity safeguards. In order to combat cybersecurity breaches, businesses are enhancing staff training and providing full information to consumers and suppliers. Sustainability Many businesses have adopted sustainability goals. Furthermore, when sustainability becomes a top issue on a global scale, automation proves to be a fantastic tool for gaining a better knowledge of an organization's operations and implementing the necessary changes. Costs of energy and materials continue to grow, regulations tighten, and automation will shift toward more sustainable and renewable energy sources by 2022. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology can aid in the development of solutions that minimize energy consumption, improve mechanical efficiency, and reduce waste. Acing the market In today's environment, the competition between the industries is increasing rapidly. This competition demands high-quality and consistent products with a competitive price. In a hyper-competitive ecosystem, automation will enhance connectivity and reliability. Everything will be accessible and readily available in the future of automation, which appears to be encouraging Embrace out on a journey of seamless business solutions with the latest trends of automation. - Sonali Dhiwar | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 22

Mike Becker: I am the Co-Founder of doks with 8 years of experience in the drone industries mainly involved in Software and Hardware. I am leading the software team to create the best solution for autonomous inventory management on the market. Christian Sproedt: I am Christian Sproedt, have been in the logistics industry for 10 years. Master of Technical Logistics and hold positions in project planning and purchasing, last position is head of contract logistics at consulting company. I am totally convinced that logistics must be more open to new technologies and autonomous solutions. Logistics service providers not doing this will vanish from the market. Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on why the adoption of technologies such as AI and machine learning is necessary for the automation services industry and how you have leveraged these technologies to deliver your products/services/solutions? It is getting tougher and tougher to get staff to do many jobs, especially in the logistics industry. With AI and machine learning many tasks can be automated and the staff can focus on more valuable tasks. Especially the stocktaking process is a non-valuable task, which must be done. Automize these tasks leave the staff more room to add value to the company. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, what challenges did you face, and how are you currently driving your company to sustain operations while ensuring the safety of your employees? Covid was and is challenging as the option for testing at warehouses and presenting our products are mainly reduced. Therefore, the development of new features was slowed down as the testing time was reduced. On the other hand, it is a great opportunity to show and prove that automated and autonomous solutions have a huge benefit – as no one must attend. Overall, we would say the autonomous concepts become more accepted during the pandemic phase. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the automation solutions niche? Find a process to automate and just try it. There is always room to improve processes. How do you envision scaling your company's operations and offerings in 2022? Currently, focus on nearby customers with a focus on Central EU and the UK to have a high level of support and end of 2022 add Scandinavia and the first oversea regions. Central for us is that we can offer a product that does not need daily service or support but can operate the whole year with only a yearly check-up. Inventory management by flexible drone is starting to gather serious weight as a workable concept and will scale up with each positive comment of customers using it on a regular basis.Of course, there will be also a new feature, which is in development. For example, we plan to detect rack damages with the systems and do box counting. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 26

Automating Human Tasks by Developing High-quality Computer Vision Software here were the days when industrialization was a Tsynonym of textile industry only, and the artisans were the industrial workers. But the industrial revolution invented power looms, and the juggernaut of automation began its journey. Back-to-back industrial revolutions transformed the medieval world into the modern age. The first three of them, i.e., the steam engine, age of science, and mass production, accelerated the world- saving human efforts, costs, and money. However, the juggernaut of automation kept traveling, and today, it has reached the station, where the globe is digital – the fourth industrial revolution. Human efforts were first replaced by animals, animals replaced by machines, and to control these machines, robots arrived. Today, these robots are deployed in every sector, especially to perform repeti- tive tasks. These robots can move in six degrees of freedom and operate in X, Y, and Z planes. In this fast-paced world, time is money, and these robots help to save time by performing repetitive tasks. However, they follow the path which is inscribed by the software programs. Looking at the growing market, many companies started to provide software to automate robotic movements. Fizyr is one such company that offers a standardized software product, based on artificial intelligence, that allows robots to cope with high variation of objects in automated picking and placing applications. In our quest for ‘The 10 Most Disruptive Automation Companies to Watch’, Mr. Herbert Ten Have, CEO of Fizyr, shared his endeavor with us. He elaborated on the company's work culture and the future aspects. Following are the details of the interview: Please brief our audience about Fizyr, its USPs, and how it is currently positioned as a leading provider of automation solutions.

Fizyr’s software is also hardware agnostic, giving clients the freedom to choose the best camera, robot, and gripper for their automated picking cell. We believe in the value of Fizyr’s independency and want our clients to be able to use open standards and choose their hardware to assemble the best possible picking cells. Although the company purely focuses on software, Fizyr also licenses the designs to modify, 3D print, and assemble its proprietary gripper. This gripper can handle challenging situations, ensuring ease in integration with any robot in a picking cell. Being an experienced leader, share your opinion on why the adoption of technologies such as AI and machine learning is necessary for the automation services industry and how you have leveraged these technologies to deliver your products/services/solutions? The items and parcels tend to have a huge variation in terms of sizes, materials, colors, and placement, which traditional logistics systems cannot account for. In e-commerce, there are millions of SKUs (Stock Keeping Units), thousands of which cannot be programmed. Therefore, the adoption of technologies such as AI and deep learning has the potential to change the face of the industry. Fizyr’s neural network is trained to classify an object, strategize the pressure required to pick it, and propose the best possible grasp poses to singulate it from bulk. One of the initial projects managed by Fizyr in 2017 involved enabling robots to work 24/7 and fold up to 720 towels per hour with Laundry Robotics. Fizyr’s computer vision algorithms were able to propose over 100 grasp poses each second on unknown objects. Fizyr’s CEO, Herbert Ten Have, joined Fizyr (previously called Delft Robotics) in January 2017. Delft Robotics started as a robotics integra- tor. Within a month of Herbert’s arrival, the company won the prestigious Amazon Picking Challenge. This led to the company pivoting towards a deep-learning computer vision soft- ware-only product and re-branding to Fizyr. Herbert is an innovative business leader with more than three decades of experience in building high-tech products and services. Thanks to his expertise and knowledge of the industry, he geared the brilliant Delft Robotics team towards success, thus, leading to an unprec- edented impact on the automation industry. He proactively engaged the company in recognizing industry problems and solving them while staying committed to building the best vision software product and provide cutting-edge robotic picking solutions for the logistics industry.

One of the major challenges faced by the company was the termination of a project by an Italy-based client due to the dire consequences at the start of the pandemic. Conse- quently, other clients hesitated to continue project opera- tions as they required hardware components, such as cameras, grippers, robots, etc., to conduct research and development. The first few months were uncertain, and later, several clients saw the opportunity for growth in in e- commerce, micro-fulfilment and parcel handling. Those clients motivated Fizyr to scale up its processes even faster and offer robotic solutions to the dynamic industry. Meanwhile, the Fizyr team was working from home and would only work from the office if absolutely necessary. At that time, the huge office space in the pandemic was reserved for specific purposes. With the restrictions easing down in the Netherlands and the high vaccination rate, people are moving back to the office on a flexible basis. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the automation solutions niche? Herbert highlights the importance of validating assump- tions, pushing the product to the market, and creating value for the clients in the quickest way possible. The quicker the entrepreneurs identify opportunities, the better they get to approach the clients in an early phase and acquire the market before facing any consequences later. Understand- ing the requirements of the clients from the beginning can stimulate company growth, improve partnerships, and help build relations with potential clients. How do you envision scaling Fizyr’s operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? The fast growth of e-commerce and parcel handling has exacerbated the human labor shortage, which is expected to keep rising. As a response, an increasing number of companies have started to adopt robotic automation and implement solutions for automating picking and placing applications both in e-fulfilment and parcel handling. We believe we have solved one of the biggest challenges in logistics and we hope to empower as many integrators and end users worldwide as possible, in an effort to relieve the pressures of the industry. The product and market are ready, so we plan to scale exponentially in the upcoming years, reflecting such a rapid growth. Fizyr remains dedicated to training, upskilling, and helping employees thrive in the fast-moving industry of AI and logistics. The company aims to focus on predictable and scalable processes to resolve challenging situations and contribute to the industry. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 30

Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and the Futer of Work Rising through the tides of the industrial revolution and climbing the ladder of digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence has sprouted new opportunities to predict the future. While no one knows what artificial intelligence holds for the future of work, there is a hope of utilizing AI technology to boost employment opportunities. This may also develop new lines of businesses that we cannot understand currently by providing new tools for entrepreneurs. Companies and society face threats and opportunities because of this rapid transformation. These efficiency gains are critical for society's long-term growth, particularly in economies with rising populations. However, as highly skilled specialist jobs that complement new technologies grow, low-skilled and low-paying jobs that are not suitable for automation remain, and everything in between is rendered obsolete. This poses a risk of increment in significant social inequality and hollowing out the labor market. Along with the threats of AI, there are multiples benefits that facilitate mitigating human labor and pushing a progressive approach. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 32

Redefining Human Intelligence with AI Support With an ability of a computer or a computer-controlled robot to complete tasks that would normally be done by an intelligent being, AI aims at creating systems with human- like cognitive abilities, such as the ability to reason, discern meaning, generalize, and learn from past experiences. Since the invention of the digital computer in the 1940s, it has been proved that computers can be programmed to perform extremely complicated jobs with ease, such as finding proofs for mathematical theorems or playing chess and the list goes on. Opening up new frontiers of development for the IT industry, automation has been an eyepopping experience in business operation and end-consumer experience. Automating Experiences Automation is the development and deployment of technologies that allow goods and services to be produced and delivered with little or no human interaction. Many tasks that were previously performed by people are now more efficient, reliable, and fast because of the use of automation technologies, techniques, and procedures. Like the progression of the human life cycle, artificial intelligence will have both beneficial and negative effects on society as it continues to reshape the environment we live in. It's anyone's guess how that will balance out, and it's a topic of great debate and thought among many individuals. The Boom and Bust of AI Our workforce will undoubtedly evolve because of artificial intelligence. The alarmist headlines focus on the loss of human employment, replaced by robots, but the actual issue for humans is to discover new duties that demand their distinctively human qualities. Our workforce will undoubtedly evolve because of artificial intelligence. The alarmist headlines focus on the loss of employment to robots, but the actual issue for humans is to discover new duties that demand their distinctively human qualities. This uncertainty, as well as the changes in how some people will make a living, could be difficult to deal with. Artificial intelligence's transformational impact on our society will have far-reaching economic, legal, political, and regulatory effects that we must examine and plan for. The issues include determining who is to blame if an autonomous vehicle injures a pedestrian and manages a worldwide autonomous weapons race, to name a few. Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of our workplaces while also augmenting the job that humans can accomplish. When AI takes over mundane or dangerous duties, it frees up the human labor to focus on tasks that require creativity and empathy, among other skills. People's happiness and job satisfaction may enhance if they are doing work that they enjoy. With the introduction of autonomous transportation and AI affecting our traffic congestion concerns, not to mention the various ways it will boost on-the-job productivity, our society will gain countless hours of production. Humans will be able to spend their time in a variety of ways now that they are no longer bound by uncomfortable commutes. Predicting the Future of Work Understanding emerging technologies is the first step toward future-readiness and artificial intelligence is at the center of sustainable businesses with socio-economic development fruition. Understanding its powers and limitations is critically significant. Many of the employments we see in the market today will most likely be replaced or transformed by AI technology. The bulk of employment, on the other hand, will not be replaced by AI technology but rather assisted by it, allowing employees to improve their performance and sprout efficient solutions. AI has an ensuring future for every industry that moves ahead towards a prosperous future. if you are mapping to skyrocket your business experience, AI is your solution. - Rahul Thakar | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 34

Green Bl ckchains - the future of sustainable blockchains - by Raj Kapoor –Founder, India Blockchain Alliance Blockchain is a revolutionary disruptive technology and represents a change of cultural paradigm for the way in which information is shared. Companies are rushing to understand how they can use blockchain distributed ledger technology to innovate processes, products, and transactions. In a globalized world where environmental sustainability is a critical success factor, what is the role of the blockchain? I’m truly passionate about blockchain’s potential to create positive system change. Add to the above the power to incentivise a circular economy and revolutionise the distribution of charitable donations – and we’re still seeing only the tip of the proverbial iceberg of world-changing applications that will be enabled by blockchains. Having said that, we all are aware that most concerning implication of blockchain technology for the environment relates to its energy consumption and, therefore, its possible negative impact on climate. However, bitcoin and other similar public blockchains have one huge flaw – they use an extremely large and growing amount of energy. The way in which transactions are secured on the blockchain is highly energy intensive. In fact, blockchains currently account for 0.58% of global electricity consumption, whilst Bitcoin mining alone consumes almost as much energy as the entire U.S. federal government! This means that today, when it comes to discussing sustainability and blockchain tech, we have to balance the longer-term systemic benefits against today’s urgent need to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Blockchain has reached a critical mass of complaints about its sustainability issue. Although surrounded by virtuous intentions to upend the status quo and offer an alternative to an unjust global financial system controlled by central banks and politicians, blockchain is facing severe criticism from environmental proponents for its high energy use. Like other emerging ICT-based technologies, blockchain also raises concerns about electronic waste (e-waste). Competing miners require more and more efficient mining hardware, leading to quick obsolescence, roughly every 1.5 years. The key is to make a transition towards green recovery and co-exist with nature. Anything short will not suffice. In fact, this should be a prerequisite for a global sustainable development pathway. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 36

Raj is also working on the world’s rst sustainable blockchain 5ire, which is aligned with the UNS sustainable Development Goals. consensus mechanism which does away with the energy-intensive mining process required by ‘Proof of Work’, relying instead on network actors staking financial assets on their own future trustworthiness. The Ethereum community, users of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, have already invested close to $9bn in transferring to Proof of Stake reducing costs by over 90%. There’s also a conscious drive amongst the crypto community to address the type of energy being consumed (or better, to use the technology to accelerate adoption of greener energies). Last month, the newly launched Crypto Climate Accord—including Ripple, World Economic Forum, Consensys, Coin Shares and Energy Web Foundation—announced its goal for all of the world’s blockchains to be powered by 100% renewables by 2025. The Shifting Paradigm The current standard process of transaction verification, based on the proof-of-work algorithm, is ‘extremely energy hungry’. And this is definitely harmful for the environment. As the adoption of blockchain technology gains momentum, it could counteract climate change mitigation efforts, as electricity remains largely generated from fossil fuels worldwide. Bitcoin was claimed to be 20 000 times more energy intensive than Visa. Nevertheless, Bitcoin is only one cryptocurrency, which is only one application of blockchain. We can only imagine the impact going forward.

  • 40. The Solutions for Today In fact, there are some blockchains that have been ahead of this curve and are actually making that impact. One that catches the eye is 5irechain. Not only does 5irechain run on a Sustainable Proof of Stake algorithm that does not require mining, but also its consensus algorithm quantifies and assigns its nodes based on a node’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) score. This slings seamlessly with the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. It is important to note that there are other versions of the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm that do not require mining for transaction validation such as the pure PoS, the Delegated PoS, and the Nominated PoS, however, the flaw in those algorithms is they have no consideration for a transaction validators’ sustainability reputation, and they inadvertently support cartelisation of consensus by awarding transaction validation to those that stake the most. This way, the largest holders of that particular cryptocurrency will end up always winning the contest, scoring even more of the rewards and keep getting richer. The 5ire’s Sustainability Proof of Stake (SPoS) considers the validators ESG score as 20% of the weight in selection of node and include other factors to make the node selection fairer. And it’s heartening to know that the Founders are Indian and are aligned to the Indian Government’s sustainability and climate impact initiatives. I am particularly impressed with the 5irechain which calls its consensus protocol the sustainable proof of stake (SPoS). SPoS has been made more democratic by considering multiple factors beyond the staked amount when a node is assigned based on Stake, Reliability, randomized voting, sustainability score (ESG), and previous nomination. This way, the SPoS provides major advantages over other consensus algorithms. These advantages go beyond what proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism provides over proof of work (PoW) consensus mechanism. This chain is the 5th generation of distributed computing web 3.0 solution, a decentralized ecosystem that embeds ESG metrics in the consensus level and aims to bring a paradigm shift from a for-profit to a for-benefit economy. Their goal is to create user-centric sustainability-driven & interoperable public, private, and hybrid solutions. By embedding sustainability both in the network’s base layers and in the upper decision-making that democratically commands the network forkless upgrades. Their ecosystem also democratically empowers self-governed DAOs that are actively working towards the 2030 UN SDGs Agenda implementation and provides them the infrastructure to accelerate this vision. Now this should be the fundamental premise of the blockchain technology if it is to be sustainable and scalable. 5irechain is also aligned with the United Nations’ 17 global goals. 5ire directly addresses social issues like education, financial inclusion, poverty, education, climate, renewables, solar amongst others and possibly the world's first sustainable blockchain ecosystem. Not only is it aligned, 5ire has tokenized 17 SDG Goals and scraped data from 600 ESG points. Now that is innovation! Going Forward Today, we cannot afford to ignore blockchain’s growing carbon footprint. However, with ambitious changes and blockchains like 5ire both the volume and the type of energy the technology uses, we could soon unleash tools with the power to incentivise social and environmental progress at scale. As with any new technology, blockchain’s path from concept to practical enterprise solutions is not always straight line. Blockchain applications beneficial to renewable energy diffusion, energy efficiency and the reduction of energy consumption are also being explored. In fact, IBM and Energy-Blockchain Labs are experimenting with a blockchain-based green asset management platform for trading carbon assets in China in a more efficient way. EnergiMine has developed a blockchain-based rewards system that uses digital tokens to incentivise consumers to save energy. The issue remains whether these niche initiatives will scale up and whether their benefits are offset by blockchain’s own energy consumption. But with incredibly exciting applications emerging every day, and serious thought and investment going towards reducing blockchain’s energy consumption, we can never ignore the value it could bring. Blockchains have an emerging role in sustainability by helping foster collaborations between consumers and producers, by assisting people in adopting more sustainable lifestyles, and by helping companies improve their sourcing and recycling practices. With growing innovation in the blockchain space, India is primed to make a major impact. ESG will be an essential part of next-generation finance operations. ESG will drives long-term returns. COP26 and the decisions around ESG will bring a green innovation in blockchain and would place India, at the forefront in aligning with the UN SDG’s. That is a matter of pride, and we are happy to be a part of this green tech revolution. | February 2022 www.insightssuccess.com 38
