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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

Evolution of Mechatronics
Technological advances in design, manufacturing, and operation of engineered
products/devices/processes can be traced through:
– Industrial revolution
– Semiconductor revolution
– Information revolution
Industrial Revolution
• Allowed design of products and processes for energy conversion and transmission thus
allowing the use of energy to do useful work.
• Engineering designs of this era were largely mechanical
– e.g., operations of motion transmission, sensing, actuation, and computation were
performed using mechanical components such as cams, gears, levers, and linkages).
• Purely mechanical systems suffer from
– Power amplification inability.
– Energy losses due to tolerances, inertia, and friction.
8. 8
Semiconductor Revolution
• Led to the creation of integrated circuit (IC) technology.
• Effective, miniaturized, power electronics could amplify and deliver needed amount of
power to actuators.
• Signal conditioning electronics could filter and encode sensory data in analog/digital
format.
• Hard-wired, on-board, discrete analog/digital ICs provided rudimentary computational
and decision-making circuits for control of mechanical devices.
9. 9
Information Revolution
• Development of VLSI technology led to the introduction of microprocessor,
microcomputer, and microcontroller.
• Now computing hardware is everywhere, cheap, and small.
• As computing hardware can be effortlessly interfaced with real world electromechanical
systems, it is now routinely embedded in engineered products/processes for decision-
making.
– Microcontrollers are replacing precision mechanical components, e.g., precision
machined camshaft that in many applications functions as a timing device.
– Programmability of microcontrollers is providing a versatile and flexible alternative to the
hard-wired analog/digital computational hardware.
– Integrated computer-electrical-mechanical devices are now capable of converting,
transmitting, and processing both the physical energy and the virtual energy (information).
• Result: Highly efficient products and processes are now being developed by
judicious selection and integration of sensors, actuators, signal conditioning, power
electronics, decision and control algorithms, and computer hardware and software.
10. 10
Mechatronics has evolved through the following stages:
• Primary Level Mechatronics: Integrates electrical signaling with mechanical action at the
basic control level for e.g.fluid valves and relay switches
• Secondary Level Mechatronics: Integrates microelectronics into electrically controlled
devices for e.g. cassette tape player.
• Tertiary Level Mechantronics: Incorporates advanced control strategy using
microelectronics, microprocessors and other application specific integrated circuits for e.g.
microprocessor based electrical motor used for actuation purpose in robots.
• Quaternary Level Mechatronics: This level attempts to improve smartness a step ahead
by introducing intelligence ( artificial neutral network and fuzzy logic ) and fault detection
and isolation ( F.D.I.) capability into the system.
11. 11
Mechatronics Applications
• Smart consumer products: home security, camera, microwave oven, toaster, dish washer,
laundry washer-dryer, climate control units, Automatic Digital Cemera etc.
•Computer disk VCR/DVD drives, ATM, etc
• Medical: implant-devices, assisted surgery, haptic, etc.
• Defense: unmanned air, ground, and underwater vehicles, smart weapons, jet engines, etc.
• Manufacturing: NC & CNC machine tools, Rapid Prototyping, robotics, etc.
• Automotive: climate control, antilock brake, active suspension, cruise control, air bags,
engine management, safety, etc.
• Network-centric, distributed systems: distributed robotics, telerobotics, intelligent highways,
etc.
