Addverb gets RIL’s $1billion robot order – Times of India    /  17 Feb 2022

Extract :

 Addverb Technologies, in which Reliance Retail recently picked up a majority stake for $132 million, has received orders worth around $1 billion, spread over four-to-five years, from the Mumbai-based conglomerate for robots with 5G technology.

The robots will be deployed in Reliance Industries’ (RIL’s) Jamnagar refinery, sources said.

 

They can be operated out of Mumbai, which will allow RIL to experiment with 5G tech.

Reliance did not comment on this story.

While the Noida-headquartered Addverb refused to comment on value of the orders, it said that a tugging inventory consisting of a fleet of Dynamo 200 bots, virtually connected through 5G network, are being controlled through Legion, its fleet management system hosted over the remote server located in Ahmedabad, that is used for intra-logistics operations inside the plant at Jamnagar.

In addition, a fleet of Dynamo series of bots with one ton payload capacity, virtually connected over the 5G network, have been used for bagging line automation, where they fetch the pallets of refinery bags.

MY  TAKE  :

" BACK FACTORY " OF THE WORLD ?........................... [ 09 Sept 2015 ]

 

Extract :

China is known as the " Factory " of the World

India is known as the  " Back Office " of the World

Can India become the " Back Factory " of the World ?

Wrong question !

Right question is : WHEN can we become the " Back Factory " of the World ?

Answer is " hiding in plain sight " !

This week , an astronaut , sitting in a satellite 400 km above the earth and hurtling through space at 16,000 km per hour, operated a robot on the earth

Earlier, scientists sitting in NASA space centre or in Shri Harikota space centre, have operated Mars Rovers / MOM ( Mars Orbital Mission ) remotely

From a distance of millions of miles

 And soon, astronauts  will be sending emails to earthlings from millions of miles away , using " Space Internet " on their Mobile phones

Invariably, each such team of scientists, comprised Indians !

So, WHEN can our scientists - and software Start Ups - enable Indian workers, sitting in Hyderabad / Chennai etc, to operate / manipulate, machinery in factories of Europe / America / China ?

I believe this can become a reality by 2020 , if Central Government and State Governments, just get out of the way of our scientists/ Start Ups and leave them alone !

 

Then tell them :

 

" You are our next generation of Freedom Fighters .

Free our millions from poverty / starvation / jobless depression / ignominy / suicides

 

Like war - ravaged people of North Africa, Indians cannot invade Europe / Australia / Canada, in search of jobs / better life

 

We depend upon you to bring the jobs to India - jobs such as ,

 

  *   Operating Machinery in Factories abroad

 

  *   Controlling Air Traffic at Airports around the World

 

  *   Operating upon patients in Hospitals , all over

 

  *   Teaching students in Schools , in remote Africa

 

  *   Any job that currently requires immediate presence of a worker

 

And,

 

if you set up a " Back Factory " , you don't need to pay Corporate Income Tax for next 10 years !

 

SIMPLY REGISTER ON WEB SITE OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT AS A " BACK FACTORY " OWNER AND FILE ANNUAL " ZERO CORPORATE TAX RETURN "

 

When this happens ,

 

>  Millions of skilled Indian workers will operate factories around the World ,

    sitting in, internet connected " Back Factories " in small Indian towns

 

>  Foxcon will not need to replace its high-wage Chinese workers with one

    million robots ( as officially announced sometime back )

 

    At half the wages of those Chinese workers, Indians will operate Foxcon

    factories , all over the World, remotely !

 

>  " Contract Labour Act " will need to be replaced with " Back Factory Act “

 

>  " Minimum Wages Act " will need to be scrapped !

 

>   India will not need to fight with WTO on " Manpower / Service Exports "

 

>   " Make in India " will morph into " Make from India "

 

I hope NDA Ministers and members of NITI Aayog will ask, Narayan Murthy / Sam Pitroda / Azim Premji / Sundar Pichai / Satya Nadela / Ray Kurzweil etc :

 

"  How soon can this be done ? How can you help ? "
