Analyzing the Impact of IT Development and Robotics on Business

This report delves into the management of information systems and the impact of IT development, particularly focusing on robotics, in the context of business operations. It examines how IT development has increased the flow of information and the role of IT services, including infrastructure, computing, software, and robotics. The report highlights the growing importance of robotics, its applications in automating tasks, and the factors influencing its implementation, such as cost and scalability. It also explores the advantages of robotics, including enhanced efficiency and the ability to adapt to market changes, and discusses the cloud computing solutions that facilitate the use of robotics as a service. The report further outlines the key factors constituting a robot and the two primary operational models: cloud and rent robots. Finally, it emphasizes the use of robotics in streamlining manufacturing and improving business efficiency, supported by references to relevant academic sources.

IT DEVELOPMENT
The IT development has resulted in increased
development of the flow of information. IT is the
technology involved in the advancement,
maintenance, and usage of the computer
systems, software, and networks for processing
and distribution of data (Taherdoost, 2018).

IT DEVELOPMENT AND ON TO ITS
SERVICES
• The IT service frees the customers from the intricacy of installing and functioning the technology themselves. The
common types of IT service are:
• Infrastructure
• Computing
• Software
• Platforms
• Networks
• APIs
• Data storage
• Databases
• Analysis
• Transaction processing
• Robotics (Ombi, Ambad and Bujang, 2018)

ROBOTICS
Robotics is growing rapidly. The IT services
comprising robotics are machines that can
automate physical work. For instance, a solar
panel management platform that orchestrates
cleaning and remote repair of solar modules.
(Nolfi, et al. 2016)

USE OF ROBOTICS
The robotics are majorly used to replace lower-paying
jobs which are done by humans at the organizations.
The robotics is quite expensive and takes years to
realize the return on the investment (Corke, 2017). This
reality has restricted smaller organizations from
investing in robots.

The robotics offers organizations the capability to scale
up and down quickly and easily in retort to varying
market conditions and customer needs (Cianchetti, et
al. 2018). Cloud computing solutions enable robots to
be provided as a variable cost service with subscription
packages.
ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTICS

FACTORS CONSTITUTED BY
ROBOTICS
The robotics is a branch of technology in the form of
programmable machines used to carry out number of actions
(Stover, 2019). There are 3 significant factors constituting robot:
• Robots interact with the outer world through sensors and
actuators.
• These are programmable.
• Robots are generally autonomous or semi-autonomous.

IMPLEMENTATION OF
ROBOTICS
Robotics states to research and engineering activities
of study of robots, its design an advancement. The
robots have been implemented in almost every fields
such as mechanical engineering, computer science,
space technology and more (Sospeter and Nchimbi,
2018). The robotics are used science, electronics and
software technology creates a science.

MODELS OPERATED
The robotics majorly operate in two models, cloud and
rent robots. The robots are generally leveraged to
streamline manufacturing. These have enhanced
business efficiency (Miller and Nourbakhsh, 2016). The
robotics even aim to attain the same at fewer costs and
lesser time to market.
