GOLDSIKKA ATM - HYDERABAD

INTRODUCTION 

India implements its world's first gold ATM that allows users to purchase gold coins 24/7 at Hyderabad. It is easy to use and buy gold coins within your budget. People who invests in gold may find this machine very helpful. This machine was introduced by Goldsikka company pvt. Ltd collaborated with open cube technologies pvt. Ltd, a Hyderabad based start up company. 

ATM CAPACITY AND FEATURES 

This ATM has a capacity of storing upto 5kg of gold which worths nearly 2 to 3 crores. People can use their debit cards or credit cards to purchase from this machine. This machine dispatches coins of 0.5 grams to 100 grams in 8 different options. It works similar to other ATM machines that is used to withdrawing cash. 

LOCATION

It is located at Ashoka Raghupathi chambers adj to Prakash nagar metro station,Begumpet, Hyderabad. 

AUTOMATIC RENDERING MACHINE or AUTOMATIC PLASTERING MACHINE

INTRODUCTION 

Automatic rendering machine or automatic plastering machine is used to plaster the surface of the wall without the help of much man power. It is also called as programed plastering machine. 

HOW THIS WORKS

The clamp of this rendering machine is fixed at both ceiling and flooring of the building and is placed very close to the wall surface where rendering is to be carried out. It can move only one time in vertical direction to plaster a surface. The machine is provided with rails to enable the machine to move vertically. Then by means of labors the mortar is put into the bucket/tray of this machine and thickness of plastering is adjusted as per the requirements and the plastering is carried out on the required surface. 

ADVANTAGES

1) Less manpower is required. 

2) More area could be covered in a single day.

3) Very smooth plastered surface is obtained.

DISADVANTAGES

1) Fixing the clamp and shifting the machine to next area is a cons. 

2) This machine couldn't be used in very narrow areas.

3) These machines works well on internal wall but you have to do cornice and corner plastering manually.

ROBOTIC BRICK LAYER

INTRODUCTION 

As education and literacy among people is getting increased day by day, people choose jobs that raises their living standards. So the manpower is getting decreased in many fields including construction field. This situation may even get worse in future. So inorder to compensate the work of masons and helpers, Robotic bricklayer was invented. 

HOW THIS WORKS

The proprietary control system takes CAD and 3D model informations. By Cartesian coordinates and parametric design, it determinates where each brick should be placed as per the drawings and 3d modellings. Its telescopic arms can even build curved walls. It can even grind or break bricks according to the requirement. 

The bricks and mortar ingredients must be loaded into the machine by means of skilled labors. This machine can even build walls of any pattern as per the wish of the client. 

The Bricklayer itself spreads the mortar and lays the bricks in position as per the design programed.

You can get to know more about its working and laying in a visual view from the youtube video given below.

Working of Robotic bricklayer

HISTORY AND CURRENT EVENTS

As per US patent office, the patent to this machine was received in 1904 by John Thomas. It took about 100 years to get into real life usage, Even though we people in India might not be aware of this invention even today. Hardian X Robot, developed by FBR in Australia and SAM 100 created by Construction Robotics in US are most widely accepted Robotic brick layers. 

ACHIEVEMENTS / RECORDS

In 2016, Hardian made headlines by laying 1000 bricks per hour, which is an record breaking event as labours can only lay 300 to 350 bricks per day. While SAM 100 is a Semi Automated Machine, which requires semi manpower which don't completely eradicate the life of poor people who depend on daily wages jobs. 

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES 

In future there are great possibilities of replacing manpower with these robots. Today the world is all about computer and robotics. Bow Robotic are even to construction field which is expected to be a great advantage in future.
