AUTOMATION TRADEMARKS: #AutomaticSystem
4. In Next 5 Years ?
Globalisation of marketplace will be the key
driver for automation.
Sustainability' will be the key driver for the
way production processes will be handled in
future.
The gap between information technology and
automation will seize to exist.
Users will 'feel' the automation hardware
through IT and software.
5. INTEND TO WORK ON ?
My choice will be “Automation in the Electronics Industry”.
Automatic or Automated Test Equipment (ATE) is any apparatus
that performs tests on a device, known as the Device Under Test
(DUT) or Unit Under Test (UUT), using AUTOMATION to quickly
perform measurements and evaluate the test results.
The primary concern in designing an “AUTOMATION “ interface for
an electronic trading system is the impact on market liquidity .
Automation, computer-assisted manufacturing and robotics have
opened new fields in the planning, installation and service of
automated equipment and systems. Many industrial companies are
improving their production and processing operations by incorporating
changing.
