2. Industrial Automation – Definition
Industrial Automation or Automation is basically the delegation of
human control function to technical equipment for
1) Increasing Productivity
2) Increasing Quality
3) Reducing Cost
4) Increasing Safety in working conditions.

3. Industrial Automation – Benefits
• Simplified and more convenient operation
• More humane conditions
• Automation of foundry works
• Production of better, cheaper products of equal quality at low cost
• CNC - Computer Numerical Control
• Reduction of hazards to people
• Automation of Chemical Processes
• And so forth…

4. Industrial Automation – Disadvantages
• Redundancy of workers may lead to unemployment
• Security Threats/Vulnerability
• High initial cost
• Overtaxing in difficult situations
• Unpredictable/excessive costs of developing automated process

5. Industrial Automation Tools
• ANN - Artificial Neural Network
• DCS - Distributed Control System
• HMI - Human Machine Interface & CHI - Computer Human Interfaces
• SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
• PLC - Programmable Logic Controller
• MES - Manufacturing Execution System
• ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning
• CIM - Computer-Integrated Manufacturing
• FMS - Flexible Manufacturing System
• Although list continues, primary ones are above…

6. Industrial Automation Hierarchy Levels
Administration – Planning, Statistics, Finance
Enterprise – Workflow, Resources, Interactions TOOLS: ERP
Manufacturing Execution – TOOLS: MES
Supervisory – TOOLS: SCADA
Group Control (Several Unit Controls) – TOOLS: DCS
Field Activity - TOOLS: PLC
Primary Technology (Equipment) – TOOLS: Sensors/Actuators

7. further to lights-out manufacturing!
• FANUC, the Japanese robotics company, has been operating a
"lights out" factory for robots since 2001.
• In the Netherlands, Philips uses lights-out manufacturing to
produce electric razors, with 128 robots from Adept Technology.
