BU415 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Enterprise Resource Planning, Data Mining, Transaction Processing
Document Summary
Robots are programmable devices who carry out tasks autonomously /semi-autonomously. Use as a substitute for human labour. Sensor allow them to take in and understand the atmosphere and surroundings. Benefits: reduce costs, reliable / efficient, can be used in dangerous environments, precise / productive, unbiased decision making. Challenges: unemployment concerns, cant handle unexpected situations, high initial investment, no improvements no sense of emotion / conscience. Course concepts: part of the technical system (technology) Technological advancements can create first, second + third order changes: making process more efficient by removing unnecessary steps + ridding of human error. Enterprise resource planning: data mining, developing systems that automate searching for relevant data. Lecture 5: boston dynamics videos, robots + technology can be used as raising the barriers. Provide native integration: modularity will allow all aspects to be changed without disrupting the workflow, atte(cid:373)pt to support all (cid:272)o(cid:373)po(cid:374)e(cid:374)ts of the fir(cid:373)(cid:859)s it i(cid:374)frastru(cid:272)ture, defining characteristics, modular.
