TESLA'S GIGAFACTORY

Tesla officially opened it's Gigafactory on last Tuesday,a little more than two years after construction began.The factory is about 14 percent complete,but when it's finished it will be about 10 million square feet or about the size of 262 NFL football fields.That will make it one of the largest building in the world.It's a massive,$5 billion(roughly Rs,33,630 crores) factory in the Nevada desert that could nearly double the world's production of lithium ion batteries.

The company says making it's own lithium-ion batteries at the scale the Gigafactory will allow will reduce i's battery cost by more than a third by 2018.Most immediate Tesla needs the batteries foe it's fourth car,the model 3 Sedan,which is scheduled to go on sale at the end of next year.The model 3 will be Tesla's least expensive vehicle,partly because of battery cost reduction.To meet the goal,Gigafactory construction is proceeding at a furious pace.Robots are used to place battery packs into home and office units which store energy,from solar panel's and allow users to tap it during peak periods.The factory's name stems from "giga",a unit of measurement that represent billions.One gigawatt hour is the equivalent of generating one billion watts for one hour-one million times that of one kilowatt hour.Tesla says the factory will be producing 35 gigawatt hours of batteries by 2018.That's the equivalent to the entire world's production in 2014.Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said the factory has the capacity to produce,50 gigawatt hours if it needs to.To put that in context,New York city uses around 52 gigawatt hours of energy per year.

Musk says there are still plenty of ways for Tesla,to reduce costs including making it's factories more efficient and eventually building more battery factories in Europe,China and other regions.Where it's cars are sold.     

AUTOMATION IN PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Some elements of the production system are likely to be automated,whereas others will be operated manually or clerically.For our purpose here automation can be defined as a technology concerned with the application of mechanical,electrical and computer based system to operate and control production.
The automated elements of the production system can be separated into two categories
1.Automation of the Manufacturing system in the factory
2.Computerization of the Manufacturing support system
In modern production system the automated manufacturing system,the two categories overlap to some extent,because the automated manufacturing system operating on the factory floor are themselves often implemented by computer system and connected to the computerized manufacturing system and connected to the computerized manufacturing support system and management information system operating at the plant and enterprise levels.

Automated Manufacturing System
Automated Manufacturing Systems operate in the factory on the physical product.They performs operation such as processing,assembly,inspection or material handling in some cases accomplishing more than one of these operations in the same.Some of the examples of automated manufacturing systems include:

• Automated machine tools that process parts
• Automated assembly systems
• Automatic inspection system for quality control
• Automatic material handling and storage system to integrate manufacturing operation

Automated manufacturing system can be classified into three basic types:
1.Fixed Automation:It is a system in which sequence of processing operation is fixed by the equipment configuration.The economical justification for fixed automation is found in production that are produced in very large quantities and at high production rate.Fixed automation include machining transfer lines and automated assembly machines.
2.Programmable Automation:In Programmable Automation,the production equipment designed with the capability to change the sequence of operations to accommodate different product configuration .The operation sequence is controlled by a program,which is a set of instruction coded so that they can read and interpreted by the system.Programmable automation include numerically controlled machine tools and PLC's
3.Flexible Automation:Flexible Automation is an extension of programmable automation.The production rate is medium and it is flexible to deal with product design.

Computerized Manufacturing Support System
It is generally implemented to reduce the amount of manual and clerical efforts in product design, manufacturing,planning and control and the business function of the firm.The Computer Integrated  Manufacturing(CIM) denotes the necessary use of computer system to design the product,plan the production,control the operation and performs various business related function needed in manufacturing firm.In CIM Computer Aided Design(CAD) denotes the use of computer system to perform functiones related to manufacturing ,engineering,such as process planning and numerical control part programming.
Processing activities are accomplished to implement the four basic manufacturing support fuctions
1.Business functions 2.Product design 3.Manufacturing planning 4.Manufacturing control.

REASONS FOR AUTOMATING:

• To increase labor productivity 
• To reduce labor cost
• To reduce or eliminating routine manual and clerical task
• To improve worker safety
• To improve product quality
• To reduce manufacturing lead time
• To mitigate the effect of labor shortage   

   

NITI AAYOG:National Institute for Transforming India

It is government of India policy established by the Narendra Modi government to replace the planning commission . The union government of India announced the formation of NITI  Aayog

on 1 Jan 2015 and the first meeting was held on 8 Feb 2015. The main aim of NITI Aayog is to maintain the relationship between central government  and state government of India. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley made the following observation on the necessity of creating NITI Aayog,"The 65 years old planning commission had become a redundant organisation.It was relevant in a command economy structure,but not only longer.

 NITI Aayog replaces planning commission with a "control commission''.Planning commission is nothing but resources for the development plans for national progression and control commission is an independent regulatory body whose Chairperson is Prime Minister of India.Vice Chairperson of NITI Aayog is Arvind Panagariya and their official members and Rajnath Singh,Arun Jaitley,Suresh Prabhu, and Radha Mohan. Economist Bibek Debroy and former DRDO chief V.K.Saraswat are it's full time members.Amitabh Hant is C.E.O of NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog launches women Transforming India Initiative.

The objective of NITI Aayog is important evolutionary change from the past will be replacing a centre to state one way flow of policy by a genuine and continuing partnership with the states.NITI Aayog has launched their official website niti.gov.in from that you will get more information about ongoing projects of NITI Aayog.      

  

WIMBLEDON

Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is widely consider the most prestigious.It has been held at the all England club in Wimbledon,London since 1887.Wimbledon is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments the other being Australian open,the French open and US open.Wimbledon is the only tennis tournament which played on grass court.The tournament takes place over two weeks n late June and early July,including with the Ladies and Gentlemen's singles final.
