The document introduces automation, defining it as a set of technologies that allows machines and systems to operate without significant human intervention. It discusses key areas of industrial automation like controls, communication, and real-time computing. Reasons for automating include increasing productivity, reducing costs, improving quality and safety. The basic elements of an automation system are described as the program of instructions, control systems, process, and power. Advanced functions like safety monitoring, maintenance diagnostics, and error detection and recovery are also introduced.

■ Definition
Automation is a set of technologies that results in operation of
machines and systems without significant human intervention & achive
performance superior to manual operations.
■ Key areas of industrial automation
– Controls & signal processing
– Communication & networking
– Simulation, design & analysis
– Optimization
– Real time computing
– Database & storage

3. Reasons for automation
■ To increase labour productivity
■ To reduce labour cost
■ To manage effect of labour shortage
■ To reduce/eliminate routine manual & clerical tasks
■ To improve worker safety
■ To reduce manufacturing lead time
■ To improve product quality
■ To accomplish process that can not be done manually
■ To avoid the high cost of not automating

■ Detection
– Random errors
– Systematic errors
– aberrations
■ Problems in error detection
– To automate all of the possible errors that can generated in a
process
– To setup/specify appropriate sensor system & software so
that system is capable of recognizing each error
■ Recovery
– Make adjustment at the end of the current work cycle
– Make adjustments during current cycle
– Stop the process to invoke corrective action
– Stop the process & call for help

■ Fixed automation is used
when the volume of production
is very high and therefore it is
appropriate to design
specialized equipment to
process the product effectively
and at high production rate.
■ Programmable automation is
used when the volume of
production is relatively low and
there are variety of products to
be made. The production
equipment is designed to be
adaptable to variations in
product configuration. Unique
products are made in small
batches.

■ Flexible automation is used for
mid volume production size. It
possesses some of the features of
both fixed automation and
programmable automation.
