A perfect storm of surging deal flow and burnt out workers is pushing some investment banks to automate more.

M&A deals are getting done at record levels. And junior bankers, often the ones responsible for the grunt work required to close deals, are waning as firms strive to keep pace. Working remotely has exacerbated the situation, in addition to a labor shortage.

Now, firms are looking to technology to catch up, and maybe even get ahead.

While Goldman Sachs' automation endeavors in its investment bank are not new, the past six months have fortified those efforts.

"It certainly made us re-evaluate and recommit ourselves in the sense that we were already on this path," Akila Raman, chief operating officer of Goldman's investment bank division, told Insider referring to the bank's automation strategy.

Raman and Miruna Stratan, who leads the IBD engineering team, detailed three use cases the bank is eyeing for additional automation.

Over the last several years, Goldman Sachs has worked to automate data scrubbing for company comparison tables, Raman said. The so-called peer sheets are used by investors to size up company prospects against competitors, often including market analyses and charts about pricing, stocks, and interest rates.

It's a time-intensive process and a rote task that's handled by junior bankers. But because many charts are built on market inputs, they're obvious candidates to create a framework where inputs are automatically fed into the pages.

Peer sheets are one component of pitch books, whose assembly is often left to junior bankers and is an area ripe for automation.

While pitch books still hold value, and the process of assembling them won't be fully automated, there is room for streamlining, Raman said.

"Especially if it's a longer term deal process, the client may need to see a particular chart several times. So does somebody physically update that chart, and then copy and paste that into a pitch book, or can technology be levered to take some of those steps out?" Raman said.

Goldman started using sophisticated algorithms two years ago to help bankers identify deal opportunities for clients, Raman said. The algorithms flag if a certain metric in a customer account has hit, meaning bankers can anticipate the client's upcoming needs.

If a customer's balance sheet hits a certain number, the algorithm may suggest the customer will need to issue debt, refinance, or could be a good candidate for equity issuance.The algorithm is designed to help bankers not miss opportunities and prioritize services.

It will also continue to evolve, as bankers can inform the model if a suggestion was helpful or not, giving it an opportunity to improve.

Another ongoing initiative designed to lift banker work is a long-term project of consolidating data in Goldman Sachs' debt capital markets.

To start, the bank is organizing data by financial instrument like bonds, loans, and structured finance products by unifying several legacy systems that are currently in place, Raman said.

Eventually, the bank will develop a single tool for the entire debt capital markets. This should ultimately save bankers time when collating and analyzing data, she added. Raman declined to disclose a specific timeline.

All of the work is done with a goal of receiving constant feedback in order to understand how to better make adjustments, Stratan said.

"You've got to be constantly challenging yourself to figure out what is truly value-add, and what is stuff that technology can do with equal or better impact," Raman said.

Im David Greenfield, Director of Content at Automation World and thanks for joining me for this Take Five with Automation Worldepisode where Ill be explaining why remote access technology is so popular in the process industries.

Now, I should begin by noting that we first noticed the popularity of remote access in the processing industries, as compared to the discrete manufacturing industries, while conducting research into automation technology spending trends for 2021. Two articles weve published so far from this research look at trends for the discrete and batch manufacturing industries. The report on our findings for the continuous process industries will be featured in our August 2021 issue and online as well. I should also note here that PMMI has created a report on adoption of remote access technologies among CPG manufacturers and the OEMs that serve this market.

So, while reviewing the results from the Automation World research, we noticed that remote access technologies ranked among the top five for expected spending in the continuous processing industries. Butit didnt rank that highly for discrete manufacturers.

Considering that a number of the same technologies ranked in the top 5 across all verticalsfor example, data acquisition and analytics, cybersecurity software, and IoT platform software, we were curious as to why remote access would rank so highly among continuous processors compared to the discrete manufacturing industries.

Josh Eastburn, director of technical marketing at Opto 22, suggests the reason for this is largely due to continuous process operations often being in hazardous, restricted, or remote areas. He pointed to the petrochemical industry as a perfect example of this.

And Jesse Hill, process industry manager at Beckhoff Automation, said, In upstream and midstream oil-and-gas applications, the control systems are often in remote locations that are difficult to access. And this can also be the case in downstream oil and gas and other large processing plants. So, even though the location of the assets may be within the confines of the plant itself, the system that needs monitoring and access may be hundreds of meters or even miles away.

Michael Risse, vice president and chief marketing officer at Seeq, pointed out that production assets in continuous processing tend to lend themselves to constant monitoring more so than in discrete industries. He explained that: time series datathe basis for monitoringis often limited to short bursts, such as a weld, a dip tank, or a seal in discrete manufacturing because operations there are more about assembly than long-running processes. This scenario changes, of course, when a discrete manufacturer puts sensors on a device. At that point, telemetry from the sensors is 100% time series data.

Now, despite the differences in remote monitoring use between discrete manufacturers and continuous processors, discrete manufacturing plants still have a need for remote access and monitoring. Aaron Crews, director for modernization solutions and consulting at Emerson said: increased use of remote access in discrete manufacturing was a trend we saw rapidly increase when the global pandemic limited the number of people that could be in a facility at any given time. He added that, because discrete manufacturing industries are more likely to be located close to population centers, having expert personnel arrive onsite is often less complicated and costly than in continuous processing.

And there are specific business trends influencing the increased use of remote monitoring too. For example, many companies are re-evaluating who should handle asset monitoring.

To show how this is playing out, Risse cited a supplier of turbines and steam traps that offers a monitoring system to its customers. He also noted a processing industry customer that has an internal remote monitoring and best practices center for monitoring assets on behalf of the companys plants.

Kevin Finnan, an industry consultant at Yokogawa, also noted this trend saying, Among Yokogawas customers, those most rapidly deploying remote access were those who had already been working on integrated operations or remote operations centers. These customers operate many facilities and are consolidating their subject matter expertise, maintenance support, and other disciplines in key remote locations.

So, I hope you enjoyed this Take Five with Automation World episode and remember to keep watching this space for new episodes each week to help keep you on top of whats happening in the world of industrial automation.

Remote Access in the Continuous Processing Industry Take Five with Automation World - Automation World

As trend-driven SKU proliferation accelerates in the beverage market, manufacturers are offering products in new formulations and sizes to cater to sustainability and convenience demands. Old products are being reworked into new formulations to address functionality and health goals, along with entirely new offerings.

According to PMMI Business Intelligences new report 2021 Beverage Trends Driving Change, this increased expansion of SKUs has created new considerations for beverage manufacturers, who must accommodate new packaging shapes, sizes, and materials, as well as contend with processing and filling new formulations for entirely new products. We are basically making improvements along the entire line, said one process and automation engineer, upgrading processing equipment, modernizing filling capabilities, and changing packing formats - all due to expanding product diversity.

This has created a need among beverage manufacturers for dynamic machines that are highly flexible in all aspects of production. This equipment must be intuitive, easy to operate, and offer automated product inspection, while also handling a wide variety of product formulations and packaging sizes, shapes, and materials.

IIoT Automation and Digitization

Beverage manufacturers are also turning to automation and digitization to streamline their processes and improve overall efficiency. Manufacturers are using smart automation to streamline changeover speeds, automate complex packaging operations such as building variety packs, and improve efficiency through intuitive and comprehensive HMI and PLC interfaces. These changes are also important in the face of ongoing skilled labor shortages in manufacturing.

Beverage manufacturers are also increasing their level of digitization, by adding technology up and down production lines to gather data and monitor processes. These new sources of data are being used to analyze individual machine functions and overall production operations, to identify and eliminate inefficiencies and maximize uptime and output. 72% of manufactures interviewed for the report are increasing their levels of data and technology-based solutions, and 33% are specifically looking at adding more robotics to their operations.

Beverage Manufacturers Turn to Dynamic Machines and Automation to Meet SKU Expansion - Packaging World

Newport Beach, California-based Innovation Lab, the incubator collaboratively owned by six nonprofit health systems, has partnered with health technology company Olive to co-develop automation solutions for providers.

Part of the Innovation Institute, the lab works with its health system owners to identify unmet needs, create medical products around those and bring them to market, said Ryan Kelly, Innovation Labs general manager, in a phone interview. The institute is a for-profit entity owned by:

Announced Tuesday, the partnership between Innovation Lab and Cleveland-based Olive will focus on artificial intelligence-driven tools that automate and drive efficiencies in operational and clinical workflows, Kelly said. To create these tools, the companies will leverage Olives AI platform and technical expertise, as well as Innovation Labs frontline access to the above health systems executives and innovators.

[We will] identify places where we can bring Olives technology to the table and co-develop a new solution on top of their platform, ultimately with the view to solve [a] problem at the health system, and [also] to take that product and commercialize it broadly, leveraging Olives distribution capability, Kelly said.

Initially, the companies will focus on integrating an Innovation Lab product that connects patients and case managers into Olives platform. The product aims to help patients navigate the journey from acute care to a post-acute care settings.

Thats kind of the low-hanging fruit opportunity that were looking at, but weve also got some other really exciting, more transformative opportunities that we are evaluating, Kelly said.

The new solutions that are co-developed will also be part of the Olive Helps Loop Library, which is similar to Apples App Store but for hospital and health system customers.

This alliance will create a massive opportunity for healthcare leaders, developers and investors across multiple providers and companies to listen, build, learn and release innovation on the Olive platform that improves the human experience for workers and patients alike, said Patrick Jones, executive vice president of Olive, in an email.

The Innovation Institute and lab were established in 2013. The lab acts as the exclusive commercialization partner of the six health system owners, and since its inception, it has successfully commercialized 20 products, ranging from digital solutions to research tools. Revenues from the sale of the products are shared with the owners, which are also often sites for pilots or validation studies.

But now, the Innovation Lab is launching a subscription, or fee-for-service, version of its innovation services for providers outside of the six owners.

This move will help expand the partnership with Olive, Innovation Labs Kelly said.

As we grow in scale through our subscription offering and bring more hospitals and health systems into our ecosystem, it only widens the net for how and where we can source opportunity [for the products we will co-develop], he said.

Network Automation Market to Hit USD 22.58 Billion by 2027 Backed by Increasing Adoption of Connected Devices Worldwide, reports Fortune Business...

Automation is the ability to transform raw material into a finished product with very little human interaction, said Douglas Clark, lead instructor in TSTCs Automation and Controls Technology program in Marshall.

Automation, which combines instrumentation, mechatronics and robotics, is increasing in East Texas and throughout the nation, Clark said.

Right now, I cant place as many students as there are jobs, he said. Manufacturing has gone through a new era. It is called Industry 4.0, the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is a revolution of smart devices. We are at a point where everything can communicate with everything else via smart devices. That has changed everything with manufacturing.

Some of the automation jobs open now in East Texas include those for automation engineers, automation technicians and electrical maintenance technicians, according to Indeed.com.

TSTC Automation and Controls Technology graduates have been hired by AEP, Phillips 66, Worley and other companies, according to information from TSTCs Career Services department.

Todays students, and tomorrows industrial leaders, must be automation-savvy, said Doug Shryock, director of workforce and economic development at the East Texas Council of Governments in Kilgore. They must have foundational knowledge and be fearless in learning new applications and techniques. Companies in the age of telemarketing looking to hire are less concerned about where their employees sit, and more concerned about connectivity and technological aptitude.

The World Economic Forum has estimated that by 2030 more than one billion people will need to be reskilled because of job transformation during the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Maybe it (automation) will do away with certain traditional jobs, but it will create specific jobs that understand how the robotics work, how the operations work, how manufacturing works, how smart sensors work and how to interpret the data, said Roland Leija, lead instructor in TSTCs Mechatronics Technology program in Harlingen. What we are doing is training that generation of technicians that is familiar with smart systems, automation systems and Industry 4.0.

Leija said workers may find themselves next to cobots, collaborative robots that have built-in sensors. He said they are low-velocity robots that can be within inches of a person and stop if bumped into. He said preventive maintenance is a key component of automation. Workers will be needed to maintain conveyor belts, robots and other equipment.

Clark said it is critical to tout the benefits of automation jobs and the salaries that can be earned to students before they enter college. But workers already in different stages of their careers also need to consider the future of automation jobs.

We have a great opportunity to train that young workforce to be ready and willing to tackle this new technology, and the companies will prosper because of that, Clark said.

Leija is excited about the future of automation and its job potential.

It is only going to get better, Leija said. At some point, it will transition to some basic levels of artificial intelligence where you will have a system to manage certain things, maybe with some human interactions and permissions given to it.

Registration continues for the fall semester, and scholarships are available. For more information, go to tstc.edu.

Job market promising for TSTC Automation and Controls graduates - (MARSHALL Texas) The 10 letters that make up the word automation carry a lot of...

Artificial intelligence (AI), automation and big data analytics projects are fueling a fundamental shift towards flash-based object storage, new data suggests.

This is according to a new report from software-defined object storage firm Scality, which found that, while some businesses expect the change to happen within a year, others believe a three-year time period is more realistic.

Polling IT decision-makers in the UK, France and Germany, the company discovered that most organizations looking to deploy advanced AI or ML projects are pivoting towards all-flash object storage, as it provides comprehensive data protection and rapid access to massive volumes of unstructured data.

While 90 percent of respondents across all three countries believe the move will take five years, the majority of French firms (76 percent) expect the change to wrap up within three.

A slim minority (3 percent) even think the change could occur within a year - mostly UK firms in the IT, technology, telecommunications, retail, distribution, and transport industries.

As flash becomes available at higher densities and lower costs, it is now suitable for high-capacity data storage, explained Paul Speciale, Chief Product Officer at Scality.

Object storage has begun to embrace flash media and, as the cost of flash decreases, it is likely to become the default media for object storage and will effectively make object storage the new primary storage for a much broader range of applications.
