Industrial Automation
What is industrial automation
Industrial automation refers to the use of control systems, such as computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machinery in an industry to replace human intervention. The primary goal of industrial automation is to increase efficiency, productivity, and quality while reducing costs and minimizing errors and hazards.
Key Aspects of Industrial Automation
Centralized or decentralized systems that manage, command, direct, or regulate the behavior of other devices or systems.
Specialized computers used for the automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines.
A system that gathers and analyzes real-time data to monitor and control equipment and processes.
Sensors collect data from the environment, and actuators carry out physical actions, like moving parts of a machine.
Interfaces that allow humans to interact with machines, often through a graphical user interface.
