Careers in the Coming Future and The kills You Need to Grab Them

CADDZOOM

Are computers killing jobs? Yes, they are! On the other hand, they also are creating a complete new area of job opportunities for the technical people. No doubt, the modern machines, and Artificial Intelligence have today made manual and paperwork disappear. And this trend is expected to rise in the next five years threatening many jobs in the market.

So where are the opportunities then? Well, the rapid increment in the Information and Technology sector has opened many profiles on the technical front. Artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and many other specialized fields today need skilled and well-qualified personnel to compete in the market.

This boom in the technology also challenged many Government employees working across organizations. And as a result, they were provided additional training and mentoring to be competitive in the rapidly changing market.

Owing to this approach in the employment, it is also estimated that children entering in the primary schools will work across profiles that no longer exist today. This revolution indicates a clear picture that this rapidly changing technology will indeed create unimaginable areas of careers and job profiles in the future.

Smart Engineering Killing Technical Jobs

Better machines have undoubtedly replaced jobs that involved risks in the technical field. Many industries are now using automated methods in the product or service processing, manufacturing and distribution too. These are the areas where technical people, mostly the engineers were working since ages. Although the introduction of advanced and hi-tech machines and intelligent algorithms have increased productivity and efficiency two-fold, it has also grabbed many jobs and profiles of people working in this discipline.

Technologies such as Artificial intelligence, Sustainable Production, 3D Printing, Robotics, and resource efficient techniques have introduced new ways and means to develop better products and services in this field. This technology also opened gates to a complete new area of job profiles across these fields.

So, what these industries really need? Keeping in mind the drifting work profiles, professionals now need to have strong communication skills, rather than, only the technical skills. Skills that can help them to coordinate best among each other – skills enough to dig deep to find out future possibilities with the technology, and open-mindedness to readily accept and appreciate innovations with an open mind.

3Robots made HealthCare easy!

Diagnosing diseases at an early stage and effective medication have saved several lives. Hi-tech machines and computer-driven robots have made complex surgeries simpler to use. Doctors are today not only specialists in their own fields but are also pros at using these smart machines. Technology has made surgeries possible even from remote locations and provides instant relief to the patients irrespective of their location.

So are the doctors, tech people too? The answer is apparently yes! As technology spreads its wings in the healthcare sector, now doctors are trained to operate these smart machines. This integration of technology and medicine has changed the way a patient is treated today.

And this shift of healthcare service made it necessary for the healthcare professionals to get trained to operate these computer driven machines. This trend now needs the doctors to not only have knowledge about healthcare but also to work with these machines.

The introduction of technology thus made it necessary for them to get trained to use them to match the changing trends in this sector.

Skills the Fourth Industrial Revolution Demands

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is expected to bring change in the professional lives of many people. People that possess multiple skills- not only technical but also mathematical and social will rise in their career.

On the other hand, people that possess single skill set may have to face many challenges in the market. This theory not only applies in the field of engineering or medicine but also across fields of business as well as agriculture.

With such a shift in the workflow, many experts argue that now with technical empowerment, social skills of negotiating and sharing will be crucial. Skills that we learn at the pre-schools will be valued highly as with technology doing most of the technical skills; people may have to move across projects and roles.

Soft skills that encourages employees to coordinate, cooperate and support one another across tasks will be crucial. Along with these, the mathematical and statistical ability will also be hugely beneficial.

So where do we need to Focus?

To match and sustain our position in the market, and also to accelerate in our careers, it is apparently clear that we need to bring change in the education system in schools and colleges. Candidates need to get trained today in both technical as well as social skills in order to cope up with the industry needs.

Anticipating the change in the market trends and the rise of technology, researchers now believe that jobs that required single skill sets will no longer exist in the future. To match the market needs and the changing business operations, students now should be encouraged to develop social skills, similar to that are taught at the primary schools. Business should learn the areas of development of their own activities and should be openly willing to share and contribute each other to develop.

These soft skills are also important because they help you reach new opportunities at workplace along with the current ones. These skills help you to improve your overall personality- attitude, work ethic, communication skills, emotional intelligence, personal attributes and the way you deal with different people.

These social and interpersonal skills have now become important as they play a crucial role in the success of a professional making them more productive and efficient. It has therefore become necessary for the students in the college and schools to be exposed to such soft skills.

Apart from mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, agriculture, or any other workplace, they also need soft skills to work together, share and negotiate empowering them to compete in the new job markets.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution What to expect?

CADDZOOM

Human civilization is encountering the outbreak of a technological revolution that is set to transform the way we live our lives in every aspect. Humankind has never experienced such a huge transformation in terms of complexity and scope in the past. The first Industrial Revolution followed the practice of mechanizing production using water and steam power. In the second revolution, we used electric power for mass production. In the third, we used electronics and information technology to automate production. Building on the third one, the fourth Industrial Revolution is emerging from the digital revolution that began in the middle of the last century. This revolution comprises a fusion of technologies and an interconnection of physical, digital and biological spheres.

The reason why we consider the fourth Industrial Revolution as a distinct revolution is that the pace at which it is evolving is exponential and not linear. It has the potential of transforming the way the entire system works. This new change has endless possibilities powered by the advancements in AI, 3D-Printing, IoT, robotics, autonomous vehicles, biotechnology, quantum coupling, energy storage, etc.
What lies ahead?
Unlike the preceding revolutions, the fourth Industrial Revolution can improve the quality of life for people around the globe. We will encounter long-term benefits in efficiency and productivity. Transportation and communication will get cheaper driving economic growth and the emergence of new markets. But, there are some challenges associated as well. Economists predict that this mighty change can disrupt labor markets, leading to greater inequality. Where labor is said to be substituted by automation, there will be a substantial increase in safe and rewarding jobs. This change is evident from the rising sense of dissatisfaction and unjustness amongst middle-classes with the winner-takes-all economy.
Effects on Business
There are great shifts arising in the demand side as well as supply side. New technologies are disrupting the present industry value chains. The demand side is experiencing a growing transparency, changing customer behavior and their ways of engagement. Companies are forced to adapt their ways of marketing, designing, and delivery of products and services.
Effects on Government
The merging of physical, biological, and digital worlds is bringing new powers to citizens to engage with governments and voice their opinions. Technology will enable governments to have more control over the population. Governments will fall under the pressure of changing their current approach to policy making and public engagement. The fourth revolution is increasingly blurring the lines between war and peace or combatant and non-combatant.
Effects on people
The fundamental determinants of how we identify ourselves will be changed. There will be a shift in how we define our ownerships, sense of privacy, time devoted to work and leisure activities, career choices, interaction with people and building relationships.

One cannot say that any technology or the associated disruption comes without humans having any control over it. It is directly guided by the decisions we make as consumers or citizens. It is, therefore, in our hands to give our future a face that is reflective of our common sense of destiny and moral consciousness.

Airbus Employs Additive Manufacturing Program to Create 3D Parts

CADDZOOM

As known to many of us, 3D printing technology is widely used by many industries and will continue doing for the commercial enhancement. Airbus Group which is the largest aviation firm in Europe declares its collaboration with Dassault Systems. The association, Dassault Systems is viewed as a dominant in 3D design software and the 3DEXPERIENCE will soon shift to the Airbus additive manufacturing programs. Now, the 3D design software will enable Airbus to model the part of aircraft for its commercial use digitally.

The company Airbus Group, which is a solid combination of Airbus, Airbus Defense, Space and Airbus Helicopters, incorporates 3DEXPERIENCE to its division of additive manufacturing, finally after a consistent success of two-year production process. Based on the slated information, the 3D platform functions by integrating design, simulation, and production to a product lifecycle management system (PLM) solution. The platform will come into existence by the Airbus Group for making a collaborative design, prototyping, simulate application for the additive manufacturing process, among the parts of test flights and within the production use on commercial aircraft.

However, the only problem linked to additive manufacturing is the low cost which gives a scope of errors when compared with traditional manufacturing processes. Hence, Airbus floats a solution “Co-Design to Target” for optimization of conceptual design by validation at each phase including designing of parts, production, and testing during the process. The initiative taken for optimization at each stage will ultimately contribute to the reduction of cost of manufacturing and unnecessary waste.

Moreover, additive manufacturing remains as the world best aerospace engineering firm for both the prototypes as well as finished products and a robust software solution continuing as high demand. Thus, Dassault Systems is duly interest to lend their manufacturing solution to the best among the aerospace industry. In addition to it, the idea of additive manufacture of metal parts gets further credibility when it declares the Airbus Subsidiary. Along with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as its benchmark, they provide a variety of platforms to its industrial partners.

Robert Nardini as the Senior Vice President of Engineering Airframe at Airbus explains that “There are some projects which are increasing the use of additive manufacturing for production of prototypes as well as production components and delivering light and affordable parts that can meet the performance standards. Now, there will be a similar analysis to view the technology from every aspect if the reader is a manufacturer. Closing down the statement for Additive manufacturing, it holds a fast and energy efficient way to manufacture products without causing much wastage of material.

Onshape shifting the Process Power to the Cloud as Mobile Options Increase

CADDZOOM

1Technology today has made Apple iPad Pro, and a simple pencil join in to make an amazing lightweight hardware giving users access to full Onshape functionality in the field. In the March of 2016, Onshape came into the light with its support for the iPad Pro- an Apple high powered tablet from Apple replacing the laptops. This will be supported with an Apple pencil- a tilt and pressure sensitive stylus.

This is a cloud based 3D mechanical CAD system that runs on laptop and desktop computers. The exciting thing about Onshape is, it can now also be used on iOS and Android based tablets and phones. Taking advantage of the pencil, the Onshape Force Zoom offers an extra edge modifying the 3D figure. While working with a particular piece of 3D geometry, the CAD users can apply a slight pressure with the pencil to zoom in and enlarge the tiny features or smaller areas of the model.

The Apple pencil lends itself beautifully to a two handed workflow. You can pan or rotate the model with one hand while using the pencil to sketch, select and interact with your 3D models. This technology will surely transform the way in which engineers work.

Matching with the Desktop

CAD solutions that offer a mobile application component or capabilities are limited. Not all the features that work with the desktop version works with the mobile devices. Onshape considers the fact that mobile devices can’t process that powerfully and also does not hold as much memory as the desktop systems. Therefore, the Onshape calculations are conducted on the company’s servers instead of on the user’s hardware. While software capabilities can be consistent across the hardware platforms. This gives the mobile devices equal processing power to the desktop systems.

In the Field

Not only the CAD engineers but also there are Executives that work in the field and may need to make quick changes. Considering this fact, the CAD technology is now providing opportunities for the executives to make design adjustments right away in the field. Collaborative sessions, on the other hand, enable Onshape users to link two or more screens. This concept makes the team members back in the office follow the updates.

As far the security is concerned, organizations can set permission level for the workers that determine who have the ability to edit or view designs. Also, if something goes wrong with the change, Onshape also allows you to restore the model to any state.

Some companies also believe that giving access to a number of employees and across mobile devices can be dangerous as far as security is concerned. But the use of Cloud storage and processing made it absolutely safe even in the case of loss or theft of the device. The password protected Onshape cloud is accessible to only authorized users.

The Onshape technology will undoubtedly change the way engineers and executives work. This CAD technology will offer a complete new level of flexibility in the business operations.
