Presentation on Industrial Automation by Vivek Atalkar Vivek Atalkar
Industrial automation is the use of technology and control systems to operate, monitor, and optimize industrial processes, machinery, and equipment. It involves the use of various technologies, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, and robotics, to automate repetitive and complex tasks, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
The primary benefit of industrial automation is improved productivity. By automating repetitive tasks, machines can work faster and more accurately, leading to increased output and lower production costs. Automation can also lead to better quality control, reducing defects and waste. Industrial automation can also help businesses to save on labor costs, as machines can perform tasks that would otherwise require human labor.
Another significant benefit of industrial automation is increased safety. Automation can help to reduce the risk of injury to workers by performing hazardous tasks or operating in dangerous environments. It can also help to reduce the risk of human error, which can lead to accidents and injuries.
There are several types of industrial automation, including process automation, discrete automation, and hybrid automation. Process automation involves controlling the flow of materials and products through a manufacturing process. This type of automation is commonly used in chemical plants, food processing, and other industries where there is a continuous flow of materials.
Discrete automation involves controlling individual machines or components, such as robotic arms, conveyors, or assembly lines. This type of automation is commonly used in automotive manufacturing, electronics, and other industries where there is a need to perform specific tasks.
Hybrid automation involves combining process and discrete automation to optimize production. This type of automation is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, defense, and medical device manufacturing, where there is a need to balance the efficiency of the manufacturing process with the precision and accuracy required to produce complex products.
Industrial automation also offers several advantages beyond increased productivity, safety, and quality control. It can help to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact by optimizing the use of resources such as water, electricity, and raw materials. Automation can also improve data collection and analysis, providing valuable insights into production processes that can help to identify areas for improvement and optimize performance.
In recent years, industrial automation has become increasingly accessible to smaller businesses, thanks to advancements in technology and the availability of off-the-shelf automation solutions. As a result, industrial automation is no longer just for large corporations with vast resources, but is becoming more widely adopted across a range of industries and business sizes.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. The word mechatronics was originated from Japan (Yasakawa Electric Company) in the
late 1960s, spread through Europe, and is now commonly used round the globe.
“The word, mechatronics, is composed of ‘mecha’ from mechanism and the ‘tronics’
from electronics.
Mechatronics solves technological problems using interdisciplinary knowledge consisting
of mechanical engineering, electronics, and computer technology.
In 1996, Harashima, Tomizuka, and Fukuda defined mechatronics as being “the
synergistic integration of mechanical engineering, with electronics and intelligent computer
control in the design and manufacturing of industrial products and processes.”
Bolton presented yet another definition by saying “a mechatronic system is not just a
marriage of electrical and mechanical systems and is more than just a control system; the
mechatronic system is a complete integration of them all.”
Mechatronics is the field of study concerned with the design, selection, analysis, and
control of systems that combine mechanical elements with electronic components,
including computers and/or microcontrollers.
