The UK has a lower robot density than most of its industrial competitors. It is imperative that UK industry, if it is to enhance its current competitive position, makes significant improvements in the utilisation of robots. UK industry can benefit from its apparently poor position by learning from the experience of others. There are significant opportunities for the utilisation of robots in applications that have been tried and tested elsewhere. The robot suppliers are able, and very willing, to provide this expertise, if UK industry is ready to listen. - Author(s): M.J. Pietrasz

Gas turbines are low volume, high variety, high value products, and consequently their production is similarly to much of engineering manufacture which operates on a batch production basis. The article describes the experiences of Rolls Royce in the use of robots, and includes details of the ESPRIT III funded InterRob 6457 project. - Author(s): S.A. Kyle

Noncontact, optical measurement systems can conveniently generate three dimensional coordinates of a target or reflector placed on a robot. Both static and dynamic measurements can be obtained, so providing ways of checking critical locations, monitoring performance or improving positioning ability by calibration techniques. - Author(s): R.

Simulation of industrial robots has become an important means for the increased efficient application of robots. However, the simulations still do not reflect a desired reality. A breakthrough has been achieved by defining the realistic robot simulation (RRS) interface. It enables the integration of original controller software into simulation systems. Now the motion behaviour of simulated robots can match reality with high precision. - Author(s): D. Kendall

Until recently robots have met with little success in the Royal Mail. Each time a robot system has achieved technical feasibility, the business case has been turned down. The cost justification for robots has been based on staff savings to be made. These have always been too low to balance the large capital cost required for robotic solutions. Recently the situation has changed significantly so that new robot systems may well find a home in our sorting offices. - Source: Computing & Control Engineering Journal, Volume 6, Issue 4, page: 182 –182

Severn Trent Water operates a large number of major water and waste water treatment works. The monitoring and control of the process plant is typically provided by systems offering supervisory control and data acquisition and distributed control system functionality. The article describes the strategy developed by Severn Trent Water for the monitoring and control of these works. It comments on the progress of the early schemes that are being implemented and looks at some of the plans for the future development of the systems. - Author(s): J.A. Secker

Many professional institutions are engaged in persuading, cajoling or mandating their members to carry out a certain amount of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) annually. Most of these professional institutions, in particular the engineering institutions which are nominated bodies of the Engineering Council, will not admit anyone to corporate membership unless he/she has demonstrated the appropriate commitment to professional development. This takes the form of a certain number of years in training (often four, reducing to two if the training is accredited by the relevant institution) and a number of years (normally two) of responsible experience. At least one professional institution (BCS) has, for the last ten years, been running a professional development scheme (PDS) in which the strands of pre- and postcorporate membership professional development run seamlessly into each other. This provides the potential for accredited, validated professional development from graduation to retirement, and the article reviews the achievements of the scheme. - Source: Computing & Control Engineering Journal, Volume 6, Issue 4, page: 200 –200
