Industrial Engeeniering: High Technology

State-of-the-art technology, also called state-of-the-art technology or high technology, is technology that is at the most advanced stage of development or simply the most advanced technology available in the industry. moment. Products currently considered high technology are often those that incorporate advanced computer electronics, but there are also biotechnologies or new materials.

The most advanced technology can bring many advantages, but also has considerable risks and disadvantages, which is why many times in fields such as space exploration or military is opted for certified technology, older but also more reliable and sometimes much more affordable And cheap to maintain.

Generic name

There is no specific technique class called High Technology, because the concept changes with the passage of time, so a product advertised as "High Technology" in the 60's, today could well be considered as Low Technology, That is, it would be considered primitive. The lack of clarity about the definition has led marketing departments to describe all new and newer products as High Technology.

The opposite of high technology is low technology, in reference to simple technology, often traditional or mechanical; For example, an abacus is a low-tech computing device.

Fields where the term is most used

In principle any field where technologies are used may use the term, but is usually more common in disciplines such as:

• Domotics: In architecture there is also an architectural style known as High tech from which comes the name of technological advancement.

• Computer science: both in the programming branch, with new algorithms, and in equipment with the incorporation of new components.

• Telematics: with the use of more efficient protocols or new algorithms of compression.

• Robotics: with the inclusion of more advanced learning algorithms among others.1

• Aerospace industry: although it is often more a topic than a reality because of the problems that can create new innovations.2

• Biotechnology.

• Military.

Economy

The high technology has a fundamental role in the economy since for the productive processes in some occasions it is necessary to have the latest technology so that the production possibilities frontier is always at its maximum possible. It should be noted that within the border are the "possible" points of production, right at the border are the "maximum" points of production and outside the border are impossible points given the current technology. Here the technology enters an important point, since it depends on it the amount that can be produced. To give an example, year by year the production of cars can increase by the great increase of the technology, like the production of bottles. A change in the technology that produces is a movement of the production curve, if for the left the production decreases and if it is for the right the production increases, reason why to always have the technology of vanguard will opt for the production Maximum possible.

Problems of the latest technology

A problem of the point technology is the little experience you have with it. In many cases using this option can lead to problems in production, delays in development, increases in costs, appearance of unexpected drawbacks. For this reason, many companies and institutions prefer to be in second line technology, but have teams that have demonstrated their reliability or cost.
