Industrial Automation

This document discusses industrial automation. It defines automation as operating machines and systems without human intervention. Industrial automation involves automating manufacturing and processing using automated systems instead of manual labor. There are different types of industrial automation like fixed, programmable, and flexible automation used for different production needs. Common industrial automation tools are PLCs, SCADA, and DCS. Automation is used to increase productivity and reduce costs and labor while improving quality, avoiding high costs, and enhancing worker safety for hazardous tasks. The document also compares human and machine capabilities and lists applications of industrial automation in various industries. It raises whether automation increases or decreases unemployment and discusses the positive impact of robots on employment based on a study.

Automation

Automation
Automation is a set of technologies that
results in operation of machines and
systems without significant human
intervention.
It is derived from the Greek words
auto(self) and matos(moving).
Automation therefore is a mechanism
for systems which move by themselves.

Industrial Automation
Industrial automation can be defined as
industrial process such as manufacturing,
processing, etc by using automated
systems rather than manual operations.

Types of Industrial
Automation
Fixed Automation-

discrete mass production.

Used for high volume and

Programmable Automation changeable sequence operation

Used for

Flexible Automation -

Used for batch process


where product variety is high and volume is low

Integrated Automation

Used for
integration of business systems using IT and
communications.

Industrial Automation Tools


Relay System and contactor logic
Programmable Logic controller(PLC)
Supervisory Control And Data
Acquisition(SCADA)
Distributed Control System(DCS)

Why Industrial Automation ?


To increase labour productivity & reduce labour
cost.
To eliminate or reduce routine manual and clerical
tasks.
To improve product quality.
To avoid high costs of manufacturing process and
to increase overall production.
To perform the operations which are hazardous
for humans and improve worker safety.

Relative strengths of humans and


machines

Human
Sense unexpected stimuli
s
Develop new solutions to
problems
Cope up with abstract
problems
Adapt to change
Generalize from
observations
Learn from experience
Make difficult decisions
based on incomplete data

Machine
Perform repetitive tasks
s
consistent
Store large amounts of data
Retrieve data from memory
reliably
Perform multiple tasks at
same time
Apply high forces and power
Perform simple computations
quickly
Make routine decisions
quickly

Applications
Automated welding robots for cars
Automated PCB assembly machines
Distributed control systems for petroleum
refineries
Mission critical automation system in
nuclear power plant
Manufacture and assembly of products in
day to day life,etc

We would like to raise a


question for you all. What does
your logic says whether industrial
automation will increase or
decrease unemployment?

Positive Impact of Industrial Robots


on employment
Rate of unemployment trend vs number of robots
used according to a recent study carried out by
METRA-MARTECH

- No.of.Robots
- Unemployment %

- No.of.Robots
- Unemployment %

Future of Industrial Automation

Future of Industrial Automation

Conclusion
The goal of this paper was to outline the
concept of industrial automation along
with its various aspects such as
advantages of automation over manual
operations, tools to setup industrial
automation, its various applications and
types of industrial automation etc
