Automation

University: BITS PILANI
Year/Semester: 3/6
Branch: Electrical and Electronics
Introduction
• The technique, process or system of operating or controlling a
process by automated means, as by computers or electronic
devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum.
• Everything around us we see today is automated. Almost all
the process activities in various domains of life happen through
minimum labor workforce.
Introduction
• Automation can be achieved by various means
including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical,
electronic and computers.
• A complicated automation system will require
combination of one or more above given means.
• An efficient automated system will do the required job
in minimum time, consuming lesser power and in a
fluent manner.
Trends in Automation
• Automated restaurants
• Automated mining
• Automated video surveillance
• Automated highway systems
• Automated waste management
• Home automation
• Industrial Automation
Future trends
• With the advent of nanotechnology and nanoscale
assembly systems, MEMS and nano sensors, industrial
automation can undergo a revolution. Nanotechnology
coupled with networking intelligence and wireless
communication will change the future of automation in
every sphere.
• The factory of the future will be small, movable (to where
the resources are, and where the customers are). For
example, there is really no need to transport raw
materials long distances to a plant, for processing, and
then transport the resulting product long distances to the
consumer.
Future trends
• Concept of smart homes and smart cities will be seen in
future. Fully automated homes will become a reality in the
future. Public places such as shopping malls and buildings
will be configured with artificial intelligence and smart
automation to provide customers a tech savvy experience.
Future automation will pave the way for smart cities.
Interest Areas
• My interest is to work in the development of smart
systems using a combination of sensors, artificial
intelligence and robotics.
• I would work towards building innovative technical
solutions of present day problems faced by the society.
For example, a lot of energy is wasted by running of
headlights and lamps even when they are not required.
This will prompt me to think of a smart control system
where the lights will turn on/off depending on the
occupancy/time of day.
• I am expecting myself to produce innovative technical
solutions in the field of automation for the betterment of
society. I primarily intend to work on process automation,
and smart automation systems.
Thankyou
