Due to the coronavirus crisis, we have even got to see things from a new perspective. In this time, many areas were running through traditional mediums, instead of which how digital technology can become a blessing, it has become understood. The technologies which were already being used but due to some reasons, they did not get the speed in the market, which is likely to meet tomorrow.
Tele - Medicine:
Telemedicine
It is difficult to provide complete health services in some mobile areas, in those places this service can become a blessing.
Doctors sitting in large hospitals will know about the symptoms of pain or disease through video calling, they will asses accordingly. At last, doctors will give medicines or advise to go to the hospital if needed.
New amendments are taking place in this area. Currently, this method is useful in the primary treatment.
Contactless Delivery:
Drone is delivering pizza (testing)
Online shopping accelerated when 'SARS' disease was spread in China in 2002.
Now, delivery items or food or grocery are left by delivery person at door - step.
Even further, robots and drones are being tested in China and America. Robots appear in reception in some hotels in Japan and many other countries.
Nevertheless, we have taken the first step in this field and we are yet to go further.
Smart Supply - Chain:
Due to the Corona virus pandemic, the supply chain of entire world was almost stopped.
Now, after the lockdown opens in some countries, the corona vaccine and other things will also require smart supply-chain.
It is a network between a company and their suppliers. Which is for faster and accurate delivery of the product to the end buyer.
In smart supply chain - data, cloud computing, Internet-of-things, technology and blockchain like technologies will be required. (These things will be explained in detail in other articles.)
Digital Production:
Industry 4.0 is current trend in automation
In, the Corona virus pandemic, we understood the importance of digital things.
More and more things are getting digital. Looking at a simple example, nowadays the bank is sending e-statement to its customers instead of papers.
Here, we are not just talking about changing the papers. Digital printers are being used in the textile industry, digital technology and automation are also increasing in diamond processing.
Digital Manufacturing is integrated computer based system. Digital Manufacturing includes 3D Computer Aided Design, Visualization, Simulation, Analysis and various kind of integrations and much more.
As you are seeing 'Industry 4.0' in the image. 'Industry 4.0' is current trend of automation and digital manufacturing. Using 'Industry 4.0', we can create smart factory. Smart factory can be managed or organised without human intervention. This enables better supply chain management, faster production rate and higher accuracy of the product.
The use of 3D printing is also increasing. 3D printing is also being used in forming metals.
However, everything have their risk and negative effects too. In that, we can include, unemployment. Unemployment may effect negatively on economy. Over using of technology may effect human health.
Like this, the use of digital things are increasing day by day.
Many industries are using digital tools instead of traditional tools. In that way, we can say digital tools are replacing traditional tools.
