Some time ago, we raised the topic of industrial process robotization (internal link), which is an important component of technological development, but the automation is progressing and its impact is no longer just in the industrial sector. Let's take a look at services and trade. What impact can technology have on the development of these industries?

Not long ago we could only talk on the phone, today we're talking to the phone. Speech recognition systems have become well established in our mobile devices and are becoming increasingly popular. Their use increases convenience, saves time and sometimes even has a positive impact on safety. What else could this functionality be useful for? Why do technology corporations bet on it so much?

Hello our SelfMaker Smart Solutions community! After short break we come back with our monthly recap!

In past two months we focused mainly on technology, what always have been the foundation of whole SelfMaker economy. We developed new devices, cooperated with new corporational clients and sold many kiosks. SelfMaker Smart Solutions on the other hand is growing its roots further and further to the East, making asian people learn the power of #selfevolution.

As always we are dividing this recap into some main sections, which will show the most important stats of SelfMaker and SelfMaker Smart Solutions! 

The concept of networks of connected and "talking" machines dates back to the end of the 20th century. Already then people fantasized about the possibilities offered by synchronization of the equipment and devices around us. Today, 20 years later, this science-fiction idea is becoming a reality. What exactly is the Internet of Things? What impact can it have on everyday life and business in the 21st century?

Self-service checkouts have been with us for years. Among the people who shop, there is probably not a single one that has not dealt with such devices. Whether it's using them in person or just stealthily peeking at other users. We know them mainly from larger supermarkets, where they support main checkouts, relieving employees and giving the opportunity to serve the more impatient or those whose purchases are not the most impressive in size. They are a big improvement, but also a nightmare. Why? Probably everyone who heard the mechanical "voice" of the kiosk shouting "INFORMATION REQUIRED" knows the answer to this question!

As people living in the turn of the century, we have this amazing opportunity to observe the extremely fast pace of civilization development. Nowadays, in order to notice the enormous changes in the world, we no longer have to ask parents or grandparents what it was "in their time". It is enough to go back even 10 years to smile with pity and nostalgia, remembering what life, communication and even everyday electronic equipment looked like then. The discussion about advantages and disadvantages of such a state of affairs is a material for separate series of articles, or even an entire book, so we will not deal with it now. But the fact is, that such changes force changes. Changes in running a business, marketing, acquiring customers, because whoever stands still, he is going back.

At SelfMaker, we love the vision of world automation, we are fascinated with it and we strongly support its implementation. No wonder, after all, we are a company that is based on this vision in its deepest foundations, that actively contributes by building self-service devices, developing technology towards expanding the spectrum of possibilities of using Artificial Intelligence, robotization and the Internet of Things in everyday life. It is our job and passion at the same time, and that’s why we understand all issues related with automation. However, we are aware that the idea of ​​a self-service world is not always and not fully perceived as improving the quality of life, as a step in the right direction.

Building the right infrastructure, buying robots, self-service devices or appropriate software is the part that is logical and understandable. It’s the matter of financial abilities and investment plans of the company. But what will need the most preparations is the sector responsible for workforce and managing it to be ready for upcoming retail transformation. Few ideas presented in this article can be helpful when considering and planning your way into automation of your company.

Retailers have tough nut to crack nowadays. From every angle they are attacked by growing costs of side services (like deliveries, infrastructure, materials, staff) and at the same time expectations of customers are harder and harder to meet. One of possible ways to cope with all the obstacles is automation – transferring some of the operations to smart, autonomic software and robots.

There is probably no object more rooted in human consciousness symbolizing the future than... robots! There are countless variations on them throughout pop culture, from steel men with diodes and antennas to sinister, armed and dangerous mechanical monsters. But the reality is quite different. What's more, robots have been present in our lives for decades, and we use the effects of their actions practically every day. Surprised? Then let's talk about industrial robots!

Why we generally don't enjoy shopping? Especially the everyday, household ones, but not only them. Maybe it's because of the ever-present queues? To the weight stand, to the dressing room, to the cash register. Maybe because of a shortage in the assortment? Maybe because of the "farmer's walk", when like an athlete, you're holding two dozen or so kilograms of shopping nets, which handles are hanging by a thread.
