The construction and mining industries have long been synonymous with being ‘behind the times,’ but the truth of the matter is very different. Nowadays, these industries are often the first to adopt new technologies in order to more efficiently streamline everyday processes and create safer, more eco-friendly ways of working. One technology currently being integrated within mining and construction is automation. From driverless vehicles, to automated jaw crushers, the industry could see a profound change shortly, but what has automation done for us so far? What Do We Mean By Automation? While the idea of automated technology isn’t anything new, understanding just what it is and how it could help us in the future is the first step to adopting these technologies in the future. Automation is the name given to a technology that “allows a process or procedure to be performed without human assistance.” Essentially, this means that if a process can take place without the need for any control by a human and all actions are automatic, it is automated. Intelligent and automated technologies are quickly becoming commonplace in the digital world, but for construction and mining, it is just the beginning

If you paused to think about the number and type of electronics you depend on every day, you’d probably be overwhelmed. Of course, electronics aren’t a new development. They were already an integral component of modern living by the 80s. However, the mainstreaming of computers and the ubiquity of the internet has resulted in billions of electronic devices in homes and offices around the world. A situation like this can be avoided if you properly dispose of your garbage. By hiring dumpster rentals, you can save the trouble of dealing with your wastes management, as they will take care of the entire process, assuring a safe and reliable service. Unfortunately, no device is useful indefinitely. At some point, you’ll need to replace it with a newer one. But what happens to the old one you no longer need? You could go the easy way and simply toss it in the trash. All this will do though is contribute to the electronic waste increasingly dominating landfills and incinerators around the world. Or you could get creative and find a way to reuse or recycle it. We look at how you can do that.

Virtually any source of radiation carries a high risk to the environment and all living things. But there are methods and means for protection from exposure. Methods of protection from radiation exposure can be divided into the use of different radiation shielding materials. Means of protection from radiation Radiation is classified into several types, depending on the nature and charge of radiation particles. To counter these or other types of radiation, protection from it is manufactured using different materials. For instance, an x-ray protective apron is lead-based. Protection against radiation by special means It is necessary to carry out protective activities in a zone with an increased radiation background in special cases. An example can be eliminating the consequences of an accident at nuclear power plants or working in industrial plants where there are sources of radioactive radiation. Being in such areas without personal protective equipment is dangerous not only for health but also for life. Especially for such cases, StemRad developed personal radiation protection equipment has been developed. They are protective screens of materials that detain various types of radiation and special clothing. Protection against alpha radiation Alpha particles penetrate the human body tissues only to a shallow depth,…

Defending your car from robbery or burglary is your own responsibility. Thousands of vehicles are thieved every year; these occurrences can be reduced by using protected securing techniques. Many anti-theft tools, security tools, etc., designed as per the most advanced technological innovation, are available at reasonable costs. Let’s discuss different kinds of car alarms for the improvement of the car’s security. Types of car alarms Factory alarms: These are provided by the original tools producers. These are built in the car during plenty of duration of manufacturing the car. They can be of two types: inactive or effective. Active alarm: These alarms need the car user to switch them on before leaving and securing the car. A car alarm can be triggered using a transmitter button, and the choice of switching on the alarm sets in the interest of the car owner/user. One drawback is that the driver needs to keep in mind to switch on/activate the alarm.

Technological advancement has completely transformed everyday life. The daily routine of the average person today is barely recognizable from what it was 4 decades ago. Yet, it is in manufacturing that technology has precipitated some of the most radical process changes. Modern manufacturing had come a long way from the early days when virtually everything was done by hand. Current and emerging technology will only continue to cause a shift in how manufacturers do business. We look at some of the ways that are happening. 1. 3D Printing 3D printing was initially viewed as a niche practice due to a lack of widespread access to the required equipment. That has since changed thanks to new software and hardware developments that have moved it beyond the walls of a prototype manufacturing company and into the hands of startups and small businesses. One tech research firm projects that 10 percent of industrial operations will incorporate 3D printing and CNC machining service in their processes. Making it easier to print customized physical objects quickly and without the need for bulky and costly equipment, businesses can produce products and parts much closer to the point of purchase. This cuts shipping and inventory costs.
