Introduction to Industrial automation
Here the introduction to Industrial automation, PLC, SCADA, HMI, DCS, VFD, Robotics etc.
Today the development of technologies has made it possible to introduce industries, automation systems into
almost all manufacturing fields. Industrial automation of production processes enhances labour efficiency and
allows cutting net cost and improving product quality. Moreover, it extends the equipment service life, saves
consumables and raw materials, and improves production safety as a whole.
4. WHY INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION?
To raise the level of safety
lesser influence of human factor to technological process;
To increase productivity and efficiency
To improve product quality and reliability
To reduce production cost
To reduce routine checks
To reduce wastage
APPLICATIONS OF INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION:
Oil and gas industry
Automobile
Manufacturing
Medical applications
Power plants
What is the Future of Industrial Automation?
Although industrial automation in manufacturing has its own disadvantages (such as unemployment), its
future looks very bright. Industrial robots of the future will be multi-functional so that the same machine can
be put to several different uses. They will have many capabilities associated with human workers, such as the
ability to make decisions and to work autonomously. They will also have self-diagnostic and predictive
maintenance capabilities. Thanks to industrial automation of manufacturing, the factory of the future will be
more efficient in the utilization of energy, raw material and human resources. Despite the experiences
showing that automation will cause mass unemployment, the mass use of robots will actually create more
jobs. Humans and robots will work together to create a more efficient and productive workspace.
