In this Paper, we have Improved the Manufacturing Process of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate using the Design of Automated Measurement Systems. The Manufacturing Process of Liquid Aluminum Sulfate uses a Large Weight. The Quality of a Product Depends Highly on the Proportion of the Raw Material Input in the Production Process. Therefore, it is Very Important to Accurately Measure the Amount of Raw Material. For Automation Design, Load Cell Sensor which can Measure Large Weight Accurately and PLC Technology which is most used in Automation Process are Applied. The Content of Aluminum Oxide in the Aluminum Sulfate Produced before the Automation Design Varies from 8.023% to 8.250%. However, after Automation Design, the Amount of Change from 8.09% to 8.19% was Greatly Reduced. As a Result, we could Reduce the Quality Defect rate Due to Weighing Errors and Reduce Safety Accidents by Applying Automation System.

The operations of the warehouses are labor intensive. Automation of the warehouse is made by efforts to shorten the work time and reduce the cost according to the change of the production form of the company and the buyer's demand. Storage warehouses vary in size and shape, and equipment and facilities used in storage warehouses vary according to purpose and use. In order to automate storage, it is necessary to introduce an operating system, which varies depending on the type of equipment and operation policy. In this paper, we review the requirements for the automation of small and medium-sized storage warehouses, and classify the equipment selection and operating system options into effective scenarios to introduce an effective automation system. Therefore, simulation is performed for each scenario, and the effect of automation is examined, and the effect of automation is verified through economic analysis through cost for automation introduction.

In this era that technology is replacing human labor is coming. Like the introduction of Factory Automation and Smart Factory to enhance the productivity in manufacturing works in companies, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is being applied to strengthen the competiveness in service & office work of companies. But, RPA itself is not mature enough to be the specific technology or solution, but burgeoning as the conceptual technology alternatives to automate the business process harnessed with the concept of software robots, artificial intelligence etc. The biggest difference that the introduction of RPA can make is the transition of the work based on 'human labor', to the 'digital labor' that could result in the replacement of human labor itself with that. Considering this kind of impact to change the concept of labor, the discussion for the future policy for this is inevitable. In this paper, beginning from the overview of RPA, relevant concerns & consideration for the application of RPA will be described based on the understanding of industrial & technology trends and expected future of RPA.

This paper analyzed the differences in the relationship between banking service automation and employment by bank ownership type. We found significant differences in the restructuring of the labor force and increasing banking service automation between foreign banks (owned by foreign capital) and local banks. Foreign banks showed the possibilities of reducing the regular labor force through the increase in banking service automation. However, banking service automation in local banks has reduced only the number of irregular employees but increased regular employees. This paper suggests new evidence on the differences between foreign and local banks in banking personnel management with the increase in banking service automation. This paper contributes to the preceding research areas of banking, business, and governance. In addition, this paper provides important insights on banking service automation, employment, and foreign banks for banking managers and policymakers.

The influence of the atmospheric radon background on the airborne gamma spectrum can seriously affect researchers' judgement of ground radiation information. However, due to load and endurance, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne gamma-ray spectrometry is difficulty installing upward-looking detectors to monitor atmospheric radon background. In this paper, an advanced spectral-ratio method was used to correct the atmospheric radon background for a UAV-borne gamma-ray spectrometry in Inner Mongolia, China. By correcting atmospheric radon background, the ratio of the average count rate of U window in the anomalous radon zone (S5) to that in other survey zone decreased from 1.91 to 1.03, and the average uranium content in S5 decreased from 4.65 mg/kg to 3.37 mg/kg. The results show that the advanced spectral-ratio method efficiently eliminated the influence of the atmospheric radon background on the UAV-borne gamma-ray spectrometry to accurately obtain ground radiation information in uranium exploration. It can also be used for uranium tailings monitoring, and environmental radiation background surveys.
