2. Agenda  Agricultural  Medical  Automotive  E-Commerce  Industrial

3. Agriculture  Asparagus Picking  Labor Intensive and break breaking work  Work conditions are terrible and employee turnover is very high  Farms in U.S. and Europe generally hire migrant workers

4. Agriculture  Seneca Foods and Automation  Raw Product Processing  Grading of Asparagus

5. Agriculture  China and Peru have competitive advantage because of cheap labor costs  Goal is to Automate asparagus picking to reduce costs  http://www.autospar.net/dash/id=4.html http://www.autospar.net/dash/id=4.html

6. Medical  Davinci Surgery  Physician controlled laparoscopic surgery assistant  Minimally invasive surgery offers less pain and faster recovery time  Uses a fiber optic camera to provide high definition view to surgeon  Less blood loss to patient which means little to no blood transfusions

7. Medical  Can assist in many different types of surgeries including:  Cardiac  Colorectal  General Surgery  Gynecology  Head and Neck  Thoracic  Urology  http://www.davincisurgery.com/da-vinci- surgery/ http://www.davincisurgery.com/da-vinci- surgery/

8. Automotive  Tesla Motors  Incorporated July 2003 by Martin Eberhand and Marc Tarpenning  Elon Musk Financed the Company and assumed leadership in 2008  Long term Goal of Tesla Motors: to create affordable mass market electric vehicles to reduce oil consumption

9. Automotive  Refills: Charge at home  Charging corridor (Vancouver BC to San Diego) or (D.C. to Boston)  Battery Swap Stations

10. Automotive  Freemont California Factory  Opened October 2010  Has160 Robot Assemblers with 3000 human assistants  Can produce a new car from raw materials in 3 to 5 days  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_lfxP I5ObM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_lfxP I5ObM

11. E-Commerce  Amazon Automation  Really tight margins on product  Operating margin is what proportion of revenue is left over after paying overhead costs  Amazons Operating Margin or net profit margin is 1.7%

12. E-Commerce  Uses Kiva Robots to automate factory  Robots bring product to pickers  Previously workers walked 12 to 15 miles a day picking product  Increase the order handling capacity  Can fulfill an online order from “click” to ship in 15 minutes.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KRju uEVEZs&feature=youtu.be&t=10s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KRju uEVEZs&feature=youtu.be&t=10s

13. Industrial  Baxter the Robot  $22,000 - $32,000 industrial robot  No safety cages required  Can sense human workers and stop motion  Requires no “programming” to teach a new task  Factory work can train baxter in tasks

14. Industrial  Can intelligently react to mistakes or environmental issues like dropped parts  Seamlessly integrates with other industrial control systems  Designed for lower volume but greater mix of tasks  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOC_ 1zEq-yc&feature=youtu.be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOC_ 1zEq-yc&feature=youtu.be
