In this presentation, Abilash introduces automation and associated trends. Abilash has seen manufacturing plants employng 1000s of IoT devices for automation and his interest area lies in the same domain.
2. Automation or automatic control, is the use of various control
systems for operating equipment such as machinery, processes
in factories, boilers and heat treating ovens, switching in
telephone networks, steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft
and other applications with minimal or reduced human
intervention.
3. The term automation, inspired by the earlier word automatic (coming
from automaton), was not widely used before 1947, when General
Motors established the automation department. It was during this time
that industry was rapidly adopting feedback controllers, which were
introduced in the 1930s.

4. Every decade has its big manufacturing trends and hyped-up IT
issue(s). Remember Y2K? Nowadays there are several topics that
have been the subject of numerous articles in manufacturing trade
publications.
These includes,
The Internet of Things (IoT)
Big Data
Cloud Computing
Industry 4.0.
All of these trends involve a lot of devices networked together and
a lot of data available to do things. They also include deciding
whether data is stored and applications accessed from the computer
next to you or from a server located somewhere else.
5. 1. The Internet of Things (IoT) 2. Big Data
3. Cloud Computing 4. Industry 4.0
6. Internet of Things (IoT):
The IoT is about a lot of industrial devices networked together. For
example, I’ve encountered automotive plants with 8,000 devices on a
single network and consumer products plants with 12,000.
The IoT Challenge:
The challenge is in learning the new technology and understanding
how to carefully design for systems that dwarf even the largest
fieldbuses.
My Objective:
This is the area where I want to enhance my knowledge if you give
me the opportunity through Internship Training.
