The document discusses automation and its impact. It defines automation as the integration of machines into a self-governing system. There are three main types of automation: fixed, programmable, and flexible. Automation saves labor, energy, materials, and improves quality, accuracy, and precision. It has revolutionized many aspects of modern life through mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, electronic, and computer technologies. The document discusses opportunities to innovate automation to provide higher living standards through technologies like remote monitoring, integrated machine design, robotics, and utilizing big data. One effect of automation is the replacement of human labor, though the long term impact on employment is debated.

2.  automation generally implies the integration
of machines into a self-governing system.
Automation has revolutionized those areas in
which it has been introduced, and there is
scarcely an aspect of modern life that has been
unaffected by it.
 TYPES OF AUTOMATION:-
i. Fixed automation
ii. Programmable automation
iii. Flexible automation.

3.  The biggest benefit of automation is that it saves
labor, however, it is also used to save energy and
materials and to improve quality, accuracy and
precision.
 Automation has been achieved by various means
including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic,
electrical, electronic and computers, usually in
combination.
How will you innovate in Automation
There is an opportunity to innovate automation technologies
to provide a growing social and economic environment in
which humans can enjoy a higher standard of living and a
better way of life.
The platform ,I wish to automate is
short product life cycle. Because Automation is not
economically justifiable for small scale production.

4.  Remote Monitoring
 Integrated Machine Design
 Robotics
 Ongoing Developments
 Universal remote connectivity spreads
BYOD
 The Next Frontier of Manufacturing IT:
Big Data

5. Nearly all industrial installations of
automation, and in particular robotics, involve
a replacement of human labour by an
automated system. Therefore, one of the
direct effects of automation in factory
operations is the dislocation of human labour
from the workplace . The long-term effects of
automation on employment and
unemployment rates are debatable.
