Roll no.-61, T.E Electrical contents Introduction. Definition. Need of Automation. Role of Automation in Industry. Advantages. Disadvantages. Industrial Automation Tools. Industrial Automation Companies. Conclusion. INTRODUCTION
Automation means:- Automation means: Auto = Self And mation = motion Self+ Motion = Automation. Automation solutions are required right from Agriculture to Space Technology. Automation is the necessity for manufacturing industry to survive in today's globally competitive market. DEFINITIONS
Automation is a set of technologies that results in operation
of machines and systems without using significant human intervention and achieves performance superior to manual operation. NEED OF AUTOMATION Greater product variety. Complete gain control of manufacturing process. Consistency in manufacturing. Reduced cost of quality. It is capable of working in difficult & hazardous environment. Quick change over from one product to another. Role of automation in industry
To make profit. Maximum production in minimum time period. Reduced overall product life cycle. Reduced cost of production, manpower & material. Once design is provided, production planning & installation must be carried out. advantages Increased productivity. Improved quality. Increased consisting of output. Reduced human intervention. Works in dangerous environments. Reduced labour costs & expenses. High production rate. Greater product variety. Quick change over from one product to another. disadvantages Higher level of maintenance is needed. The risk includes the possibility that worker’s will become slaves to automated machines. It requires high investment in general purpose equipment. There is possibility of security threats. Automation tools Programmable Logic Control (PLC). Human Machine Interface (HMI). Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). Distributed Control System (DCS). Computer Aided Design (CAD). Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Artificial Neutral Network (ANN). Robotics. Some of the industrial automation companies conclusion
Even though today’s industries are largely adopting automation to
increase their productivity, make huge profits, improve quality, reduce costs, etc., this increase in automation certainly brings some limitations which can be overcome by human interference and human expertise.
