4. WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION?
▰ Industrial automation is the use of control
systems, such as computers or robots, and
information technologies for handling
different processes and machineries in an
industry to replace a human being.
▰ It is the second step beyond mechanization
in the scope of industrialization

6. WHY INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION?
▰To increase productivity
▰To provide optimum cost
of operation
▰To improve product quality
▰To reduce routine checks
▰To raise the level of safety

FIXED OR HARD
AUTOMATION
▰It is employed to
perform fixed and
repetitive operations.
▰ It uses special
purpose or dedicated
equipment to
automate the fixed
sequence assembling
or processing
operations.

PROGRAMMABLE
AUTOMATION
▰In this automation, a
specific class of
product changes and
also assembling or
processing operations
can be changed with
the modification of
control program in the
automated equipment.

12
FLEXIBLE OR SOFT
AUTOMATION
▰It provides the
automatic control
equipment that offers a
great flexibility for
making changes in the
product design.
▰These changes can be
performed quickly
through the commands
given by the human
operators.

15. INDUSTRY 4.0
It defines a new way of
organizing factories, also
called smart factories,
aiming to better serve
costumers through greater
flexibility of production and
resource optimization.

16. FACTORY 4.0
The factory which uses the technologies of
“Industry 4.0”

18. FACTORY 4.0 BY SIEMENS
LIQUID PACKAGING PLANT (SIEMENS LAB)
18
1. A bottle with an RFID
tag
comes on the packaging
line
2. The filling machine
reads
the RFID tag and
detects
which liquid (among
many)
corresponds to the
bottle
3. Similarly for the
type of
spout and screw.
4. And for the label
to stick
on the bottle

19. BENEFITS OF INDUSTRY 4.0
▰ Improved Productivity
▰ Improved Efficiency
▰ Flexibility and Agility
▰ Reduces Costs
▰ Creates Innovation
Opportunities

20. MY THOUGHTS
▰ Industry 4.0 can be used to
connect multiple number of small
factories together for better
production and greater efficiency.
▰ Even small companies may adopt
to Industry 4.0 by connecting with
other companies for mutual
benefits.
