The Robots Are Coming webinar

Investment in Intelligent Automation (IA) by companies is growing at a rapid rate with specialist in-house teams springing up in businesses across all sectors. The quick wins of efficiency and cost savings are the most common starting point for these programs and the first target is outsourced services that are currently handling large volumes of repetitive tasks. EDF Energy dialed down 200 outsourced FTEs within a year, and many others are doing the same.

For many years BIM models have failed to be effectively embraced on construction sites, as there has been a discrepancy between the effort required to produce and use models versus the actual benefit achieved during construction. Whilst the Design phase has benefited for many years from digital models, and a BIM mandate in place in the UK since 2016, this problem still exists today.

Construction is one of the oldest professions as humans have been building shelters for various purposes for millennia. It is also one of the most capital-intensive industries. The industry has evolved quite a fair bit in ways like design, plan, build and maintain. For decades, technology has been deployed in construction to make tasks more efficient and construction projects safer. How technology like AI can help with creating values and benefits in the construction industry and changing the landscape of the industry now and future?

Radar coverage is the general term for the space boundary within which a radar meets the mission requirements. These requirements depend on the type of radar and can be described in terms of detection (Pd) and false-alarm (Pfa) probabilities. A Coverage Map is the graphical representation of the radar coverage. Coverage maps typically include the EM propagation and system losses. In this session we will discuss a methodology that includes the RF circuit design and signal processing effects as well in the calculation of the coverage map.
