TWB_ (formerly TWB) in Sept 2017 organized AutomationShift_ — India’s first CXO Conference on Artificial Intelligence. The talks and discussions included that actual on-the-ground reality of AI in engineering, analytics, sales, marketing, HR and other functions across industries. There were excellent perspectives from the senior management of Microsoft, SalesForce, Dimension Data and a host of others on how AI is being leveraged. There are several Indian startups already offering AI based recruitment solutions. It is clear that as with all others AI will reshape how companies manage their workforce and make HR plans to increase productivity and employee engagement in general. Here’s a quick look at what really is the impact of AI on HR?
Automation impacts efficiency & decision making
AI will impact the entire HR value chain from the CV to promotions and the actual experience of being an employee.
Hiring
The bane of a lot of the HR work is the grunt work – hauling information and sifting through it. When that is automated it’s not just the time, but a lot of other benefits that can be drawn through AI:
- Talent Acquisition: The stressful and monotonous part of talent acquisition which is to scan, read, and evaluate applicants can be automated by as much as 75%. HR can dramatically improve hiring decisions with recruiters spending more time evaluating only eligible candidates.
- Shortlisting: So far at the most software could do was search through vast amounts of resumes and applicant data by keyword, education, location and years of experience. However, search results are no determination of relevance. Machine learning allows HR to build teaching sets about who the top current employees are, build models around top existing performers and their backgrounds and career paths. This results in matches are made on desired traits on deep background assessment and fitment with current employees.
- Determining Fitment: How do you engage with 1000s of candidates asking questions that are not there in the job description? Chatbots can help prospective job seekers get the information conversationally, for instance, if they take a job or how flexible an employer is, before they even apply for a role at a company.
- Eliminating Interview Bias: Interviewer’s “gut” or intuition is not always objective and AI can eliminate that at least at screening levels. For instance, video interviewing technology can help an employer rank an interviewees comfort, level of honesty, even grade the quality of the answers.
Onboarding
New employees demand a lot of attention and it is often impossible to dedicate enough time to each one of them and this causes employee churn. AI is helping customize onboarding procedures for each individual position so the interventions are specific and connected with the entire recruitment experience.
Training
AI makes possible to determine what specific training intervention is required for a specific employee and then custom delivering that training. AI is also helping build organize, and schedule training programs.
Performance Management
AI makes a more agile deterministic model of individual and group performance using smaller increments available. Working this way allows constant course correction to keep an optimum engagement to improve productivity and detect team members who show lack of engagement continuously.
Employee Retention
It has been difficult so far to determine individual affinities, manager relationships, satisfaction with raises and life-work balance that determine employees individual satisfaction. With the ability of a large amount of data that can deliver patterns of behaviour AI will make it possible for HR professionals to be proactive work on specific interventions to maintain employee retention.
What is the largest challenges in leveraging AI in HR?
- Data: HR data is not managed effectively by most companies. A company may have 5-6 different systems of record and applying an algorithm against any one data set is not possible. The first challenge is to get people-related data into one place so it can be analyzed.
- Policy: While most employees agree to their company having access to data when they join, ensuring that insights into individual employees are ‘safe’ is a key determinant for acceptance.

Balanset-1A: Cutting-edge Mobile Balancer & Vibration Analyzer
Next-generation Dynamic Balancing Solution
Balanset-1A serves as an innovative solution for dynamic balancing of rotors in their own bearings, created by Estonian company Vibromera OU. The device provides professional equipment balancing at €1,751, which is substantially less expensive than traditional vibration analyzers while preserving superior measurement accuracy. The system enables field balancing directly at the equipment’s installation site without requiring dismantling, which is critically important for minimizing production downtime.
About the Manufacturer
Vibromera OU is an Estonian company specializing in the development and production of equipment for technical diagnostics of industrial equipment. The company is registered in Estonia (registration number 14317077) and has branches in Portugal.

Technical Specifications
Measurement Parameters
Balanset-1A delivers precise measurements using a two-channel vibration analysis system. The device measures RMS vibration velocity in the range of 0-80 mm/s with an accuracy of ±(0.1 + 0.1?Vi) mm/s. The operating frequency range is 5-550 Hz with optional extension to 1000 Hz. The system supports RPM measurement from 250 to 90,000 RPM with phase angle determination accuracy of ±1 degree.
Operating Principle
The device utilizes phase-sensitive vibration measurement technology with MEMS accelerometers ADXL335 and laser tachometry. Two mono-directional accelerometers measure mechanical vibrations proportional to acceleration, while a laser tachometer generates impulse signals for determining RPM and phase angle. Digital signal processing includes FFT analysis for frequency analysis and custom algorithms for automatic calculation of correction masses.
Full Kit Contents
The standard Balanset-1A delivery includes:
Measurement unit with USB interface – primary module with embedded preamplifiers, integrators, and ADC
2 vibration sensors (accelerometers) with 4m cables (optionally 10m)
Optical sensor (laser tachometer) with 50-500mm measuring distance
Magnetic stand for sensor mounting
Electronic scales for exact measurement of corrective masses

The system offers display of time signals and spectral analysis for equipment condition diagnostics.
Balancing Mode
The device supports single-plane (static) and two-plane (dynamic) balancing with automatic calculation of correction masses and their installation angles. The unique influence coefficient saving function allows substantial acceleration of repeat balancing of same-type equipment. A specialized grinding wheel balancing mode uses the three-correction-weight method.
Software
The user-friendly program interface offers step-by-step guidance through the balancing process, making the device accessible to personnel without specific training. Key functions include:
Automatic tolerance calculation per ISO 1940
Polar diagrams for imbalance visualization
Result archiving with report generation capability
